GREAT FUTURE
OUTLINED FOR
LOWER VALLEY
Head of American Re-
frig -rator Tran
Company Pictures
Citrus Development

Southwestern Texas, and partic-
ulariy the Valley, is called Ameri-
cas- wonderland by H. B. Kooser,
president Of the American Refrig-
orator Transit Company, St. Louis,
who predicts that citrus fruit ship
ments will reach from 5000 to 10000
carloads by 1880 and who asserts
reasonable indications that the
output will reach from $4,000 70
$4,000 carloads within eight 70 ten
years.
The statement was based on sur
veys Of the Valley ard were given
circulation by the Missouri Pacific
Gulf Coast Lines agricultural de-
pGrtment with headquarters at Hous-
ton.
The Valley region, slr. Kooser re-
cites, with its rich soil and
mild, equable climate which records
freezing temperatures only at long
intervals, was a wilderness 25 years
ago. Its production began with ship
ments of fe = carloans CT vegetables
In 1907 and 1908, grew 10 1,464 In
1916 and was swelled TO 1878, IN
1927. But now, Mr.. kooser, sees a new
industry, citrus fruit raising. has
come into great prominence with es-
timated total planting which has
grown from small commercial pant
ing from 1909 to 1914 70 an estimated
3,z50,000 citrus trees in 1927.
'This industry" Mr.. Kooser says,
"has long since passed the expert
mental stage. Grapefruit takes the
lead with SO 10 70 per cent Of the
paintings. Oranges, lemons, lines
and tangerines are grown in lesser
quantity. The quality Of the Valley
citrus fruit Is second 20 none and
its grapefruit is sweet and juicy.
mile after mile Of the most beau
tiful groves, as well as immense
fields Of all varieties Of vegetables
greet the eye OF the traveller when
going through the Valley. Ii cannot
be better described than as a huge
garden, because the groves and veg
etable fields are excellently cared
for and produce just an i~ntensively
as small home gardens, and the nat
ural conditions are much better"
Many thousands Of settlers have
been attracted 10 the Valley, Mr..
Kooser has found and they, under
the stimulus Of installation Of mar
keting machinery and extension Of
railroad facilities, have built pros
porous towns on every side. Among
those who originally saw the tre-
mendous possibilities Of the Valley,
many have become very wealthy and
as a result numerous homes Of won
derfuI beauty have been built and
many more are now under construc-
tion," Mr.. Kooser asserts.

shamed reflection in the toilet glass.
Mrs. Jcrome's train left the next
morning at ten minutes past 6.
Aunt En- took her to the station
in the car, and Sally stayed behind
to get breakfast for Mile and Mabel

I'll telegraph ms soon as I know

Sally, who had lost her blooming
look and had faint violet marks un-

"And il I'm going to stay away

send il TO me-" she went to giving
directions. And I need some new
stockings. Outside ones. And l prom
ised Mile you'd give her some
money for a new hat next Saturday.
So please do"
But Mile said nothing that day
about a new hat. She said nothing
about anything ut All. She had
stopped speaking to Sally, as she al
ways did when the two OF them had
had words over anything. She was
sulking.

For the third time that night she

her face bright with malice.
