FARMERS IN THE potato grow
Tag districts Of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley are purchasing seed
for the next crop.
1t will begin to 90 into the ground
sometime in December, paintings
stretching from the last days Of that
month into February.
Thus the harvest is stepped out,
TO start along in the last days of
March and in April.
Probably the acreage will be con-
siderably reduced as compared with
that of last spring.
A shorter acreage and q greater
yield per acre. is vhat interests the
farmers.
The crop Of 1925 was a record
breaker in yield and price. The
grower hopes he will be able 10 say
the same in 1928.
Here's "howdy" 10 the potato
crop.
And, by the way, more than 500
potato growers are now aligned with
the Rio Grande Potato Growers
Association.
CITY HALL. Brownsville. Texas,
Gentlemen: May we suggest a coat
Ing OF stuceo for the mud brick
walls of your bsilding.
Don't you think II would look
much better!
Certainly wouldn't cost q great
IDEAL, but how much il would i'm
prove your looks.
You did well 70 remove the con-
--ylomeraticn of little eating coun-
Users on the north side. Got rid of
al les, too.
Ioo Now IL you'll Just primp the
building up a bit with stucco, every
Thing will be fine and dandy. Yours
Truly, General Public.
p. S.-A coating Of paint on the
iron work that makes the Major
Jacob Brown Memorial wouldn't be
q bad idea, either. A days work or
so. and dollar or two Of paint will
fix that.
Some hustling stueco contractor
should be able 10 "sell" City Hall on
the above suggestions.
