DiUeYSifc0tiOn Of
valley Crops Urged

and present indications are that IL
will not materially strengthen dur-
ing the winter. Valley growers are
advised TO string out their cabbage
paintings so they will have supplies
to offer from February l to May !.
Members who have commodities to
ship within the next two weeks, par
~ticularly eggplant. peppers, Okla,
beans. tomatoes, etc, are requested
TO notify their local packing plants,
and also advise the Exchange by
mail as to when such crops will be
available. The market on eggplant
and peppers ut present Is very low
and il Is difficult to find an outlet
for these commodities due to the fact
that most of the Northern markets
are provided win homegrown sup
plies, and n good marke in the North
will not be available until they have
had a severe frost. 1.-The situation
is likely to change over night" the
bulletin says" and the Exchange re-
quires this information in order to
operate to the best advantage for its
members.
The Brownsville unit now has .
representative in Nebraska purchas-
ing seed potatoes, and approximately
30 cars of seed will be shipped. The
unit has volunteered to buy seed for
Exchange members, and estimate
that the cost will be approximately

MERCEDES. Oct. d5.-Diversifica-
tion Of the vegetable crop, and plant
ings which will assure a steady vol

yocated BY the Rio Grande Valley
Vegetable Exchange in their weekly
bulletin 10 members. All growers
are advised 70 investigate the pos
sibility Of planting small acreages
Of spinach, mustard greens, anise,
shallots, endive, chickory, escarole,
turnips, and other varieties as well
IS the standard vegetable crops.
I'VE desire to have the crops COM
ing in so that we will have a full
supply Of all kinds Of vegetables for
mixed car shipments for the period
from January to June" the bulletin
states. Mixed cars will probably con-
stitute the bulk Of the movement
from the Valley this season, and the
organization desires to have suf-
ficient volume Of each commodity
available to assure satisfactory load
ings.
Relative to the cabbage situation
in the North. the bulletin calls atten-
tion 10 the fact the crop in New York
and Wisconsin is heavy and a large
volume Of cabbage will 20 into stor-
age. The Colorado crop is short, and
will probably leave an outlet for part
OF the Valley production in the West
and Northwest. The heavy crop in
the North has found a weak market.
