. SOMETHING like 5000 carloads of
/ citrus fruits and vegetable have
gone forward from the Lower Rio
Grande Valley So FAR this season.
This Is inst short Of three times
the total for this time last year.
Indicates how the Valley markets
are spreading. Up to five years ago.
1900 carloads WAS fairly good fig
ure for whole season.
Two things have contributed: I'M
proved transportation facilities. and
development Of system Of market
ing.
The Valley Is al set TO grow and
prosper.
