predict that within another decade
the Valley will have from 100000 20
10000 acres planted 70 citrus and
will not only lead Florida ir total
shipments but will be q close COM
petitor Of California.
REnduction costs s~ tA@ Valley are
small IN comparison with those Of
ether citrus producing regions in the
United States. The extremely fertile
soil requires no expensive fertiliza-
tions climatic conditions are such
that expensive frost protection is not
generally deemed necessary; irriga-
tion costs are lower than IN any Of
the citrus sections Of California. All
Of these are factors in building mp
an Industry which will eventually
place the Lower Rio Grnnde Valley
in the front ranks among the citrus
producing sections OF the world.
Specialize on Grapefruit
The fact that the Lower Rio
Grande Valley produces grapefruit Of
surprising flavor and excellent ship
ping qualities has tended TO make
that fruit n favorite with Valley
growers. Paintings thus far have
been on a basis Of approximately 80
per cent grapefruit, and 20 per cent
oranges, tangerines, lemons and other
citrus fruits.
From the time that Valley grape
fruit first went onto the market. six
or sever years ago, here has been an
ever-increasing demand. the Valley
fruit almost invariably securing q
premium over the Florida product.
Production in the Valley has been
small, but the distribution has been
extensive. and will serve IA create a
demand for Valley fruit when heavy
shipments begin 70 move.
Wherever the Valley grapefruit has
been introduced 1t has firmly es-
tablished itself on the market. Last
season fruit was shipped in % of the
fs states, and the heavier production
this year will permit even wider dis
tribution. In all markets the demand
for the Valley product has exceeded
the supply, and growers and shippers
are confident that BY the time the
Valley orchards reach heavy produc-
tion excellent markets will have been
established for the entire Valley out
put.
Another factor which has led TO
extensive grapefruit paintings Ia the
fact that California produces prin-
cipalIy oranges. and has well estab-
lished markets for that fruit. Cali
fcrnia grapefruit IL admittedly
far inferior 20 the Valley product.
The demand for grapefruit in both
the United States and European coun-
tries is increasing far more rapidly
than the demand for oranges, and
marketing experts predict that with
In a few years the volume Of grape

view that the superior quality and

BY HARRY l. SEXTON

with approximately 10000 acres
planted 20 citrus fruit, and the
paintings increasing at the rate OF
over a million trees per year, the
Lower Rio Grande Valley is rapidly
becoming nationally recognized As
one 81 the great potential citrus
fruit producing sections Of the world.
Yearly paintings in the Valley are
now N excess Of those in either
California or Florida, and while the
production of the Valley orchards is
atlll small IN comparison with those
of che older citrus fruit regions.
present paintings indicate that with
On five years Valley production will
~ practically the same as that Of
Florida.
According to estimates By federal
inspectors approximately 100000
trees were set out in the irri-
gated and unirrigated sections Of the
Valley between September i. 1926.
n September 1, 1927. Hundreds Of
growers are extending their fruit
arrcngeS. and throughout the entire
Valley huge citrus fruit projects are
being developed. Paintings this year
are expected to equal or exceed those
OF last year.
Anc HAoF~li1Hb oA Iltfut Afuit from

excess Of 1900 cars, but with normal
weather conditions this will be in
creased in 1928 70 al least 5000 cars.
During the 1930-3l season. Valley
fruit shipments should attain $1,000

Holland. the country where they
have to build bikes to keep the ocean

swamp to provide a site for the

scaping could be done. All these de-
tails have been taken care Of in COM

Neil Churchill, manager of the

in view Of the fact that his squad
has had little opportunity to prac-
tice while the Mandan outfit has al.
ready slowed several battles under

Likewise there is the question Of
just which combination will play the
most effective ball. The large crew
that has turned out for the few ses.

Every member Of the squad will

In the overtime period, Bismarck
