EXCHANGE TO
7 ship OCT.
Plants Being Put in
tina Shape For
Season Opening

MISSION, Oct. s.-The packing
plant Of the Texas Citrus Fruit
Growers Exchange will not open un-
al the middle Of the month and no
shipments of fruit will move before
October Is. The three plants Of the
Exchange at Sharyland, Mercedes and
H~arlingen are ready to start oper-
ations, but no fruit will be shipped
until IL rs fully matured, T. NJ.
Melden, manager Of he Exchange,
stated.
The plan of the Exchange to in
handle .culls has been abandoned. as
il would be impossible to get the
plant in operation before the end Of
the season. Arrangements have been
made by the Exchange officials for
the purchase Of equipment for at
least one plant which will be INSTALL
ed next summer and be ready for the
1928 season. The Exchange has re-
ceived offers from various canning
plants in the Valley for all culled
fruit, an dthe growers are assured
q fair return upon culled fruit which
heretofore has been more of a liabil-
ity than an asset.
All fruit shipped by the Ex-
change this year will be branded
"Texasweet,n an electrical branding
device having been secured which
burns the brand into the skin Of the
fruit. and the growers are assured
preventing retailers from offering
Florida or other fruit as the product
of the Exchange members.
"The Exchange will ship no fruit
until il is fully matured," 7. NJ. Mel
den, manager, stated. THE Exchange
fruit has established a reputation
and we are assured Of securing the
top price when our fruit goes onto
the markets. During the years the
Exchange has been operating il has
carefully refrained from shipping
immature fruit, and our customers
know that when they place an order
with the Exchange they are assured
of securing the best fruit the Valley
Ia producing. We have found that II
pays to maintain this reputation. and
here will not be a box Of fruit pack
ed by the Exchange plants that Is
not fully matured and meets every
requirement Of the trade"
The Exchange has received ad-
vance orders for heavy shipments
extending rs far north as Chicago
and as far west as Colorado. An ex-
cellent market for Exchange fruit
has been established in the latter
state as we'll as in oklahoma and
Kansas.

RIVER LEVEES
NEAR FINISH
Will Be Completed in
80 Days, Engineers
State

Work on the river ~levees, which
are part Of the Cameron county
flood control system. will be COM
pleted in thirty days. Less than a
mile of the levee below Brownsville
remains to be constructed, and the
big dredge now working near La
Paloma will have the upper section
of the levees completed in three or
four weeks.
Excellent progress is also being
made on the north floodway. Eleven
miles Of the south levee, extending
from the Hidalgo county line TO a
point about five miles east Of Sebas-
tian, has been finished, and the
dredge is now working on the north
levee west of the railroad. Nearly
four miles Of the north levee is COM
pleted.
The south levee on the Arroyo
Colorado has been completed from
the Hidalgo county line 70 the Har-
lingen canal. Most of the right-of-
way for the north Arroyo levee has
been secured, and it Is believed the
dredges will be on the work in the
near future.
Hidalgo county has practically
completed its flood control system
from the Mission flume to Mile IL
on the Mercedes system. A rev
siphon Il necessary to permit the
full volume Of water to come into
the channel at the Mission inlet, and
il is understood this will be com
pleted in a few months. The rivsr
levees in Hidalgo county were COM
pleted several weeks ago, and the
lowlands Of the county are now
well protected. Completion of the
work at the Mission inlet, where
so 1000 second feet will be admitted
to the flood channel during periods
Of major flood. will virtually elimi-
nate danger Of overflow throughout
that section.
Cameron county is also well pro-
tected, and the completion of the
north levee Of the floodway will
remove the flood menace from Will
lacy county. Those points where the
river overlooked into FL Jardin dur
ing the June rise are now strongly
leveed. and most of the lower river
country will be amply protected
when the levee on which the dredgs
is now working Is completed.

Jess PritChett Becomes
Alley 0Wner-12 New
Drives Next Season.

Jess Pritchett, local. State and ma
tional bowling prominent, is to be-
come a ten-pin magnate, otherwise
known as an alley owner.
The popular Jess has secured n
lease on second floor space in the
old Fishback building, southwest
corner of Pennsylvania and Mary
land SITS, and he will open new bowl
ling drives there in time for the
1928 season. Pritchett will install
twelve new alleys.
The veteran Jess has been a great
booster for the ten-pin pastime and
his venture as an alley owner is ex-
pected to popularize the sport
further in Indianapolis.
For years Pritchett was known
over the country as one Of the lead
ing pin getters and he made a large
collection of medals and other prizes
He is rated the best bowler developed
in this city.
