Is the opinion OF Fred Rusteberg,
potato grower extraordinary of the
Lower Rio Grande Vally, who op-
rates q large farm on the military
highway a short distance from
Brownsville.
Mr.. RusteberR arrived In the Val
ley 10 years ago. He was formerly
o truck grower near Chicago, and
came 10 the Valley thoroughly
equipped with the knowledge OF how
70 grow and market truck. His first
impression OF the Valley that II
was the most fertile truck growing
area in the United States-has never
been changed. Throughout the years
he has farmed Valley land he has
never h1d d crop failure, and the
quantity and quality Of Ills produc-
tion has been the marvel Of north
ern farmers who were not familiar
with the producing capacity Of VAL
ley soil when properly farmed.
Land Always Producing
During the early years Of his VAL
ley farming experience Mr.. Rustic
berg devoted his attention largely 70
the usual vegetable crops. but In re-
cent years his main crop has been

makes a careful selection Of seed.
Since engaging in potato production
on a large scale they have planted

The heavy planting Of potatoes

continue until February, but the
Rustebergs will also have potatoes
for the early winter market, having
planted several small ncrcages in
