1ST CARLOADS
OF CITRUS May
MOVETONICHT
Groves of Duncan and
Marsh Seedless In
Heated Contest For
Opening Shipment
Especial to The Herald)

LA FERIA, Oct. 3.-The first two
carloads Of Texas citrus fruit Of the
1929 crop are expected to start
rolling cut OF the Valley tonight.
One is scheduled 70 90 from Don
ma. shipped by the Wade & Newton
plant there: the other is scheduled
10 70 out Of this city, shipped by
White q Lawler.
Citrus was rushed into the pack
ing plants Tuesday in sufficient
quantity 20 load a car, and was given
the sweat process. for coloring, dur
ing the night. and il is expected that
TIE final papers will be passed. and
that the fruit will he on the way out
Of the Valley tonight.
Destination points were not an
nounced on either car, although Mr..
Iawler said that the carload from
here probably will 20 10 middle
west points. II will be started roll
ing without a definite destination,
he said.
With the moving Of these two Ears
the 1929 citrus fruit season will
be properly launched. and the move
ment Is expected 70 gain momentum
after that time. a carload OF fruit
is expected 10 be moved by the Tex
as Citrus Fruit Growers Exchange
BY Saturday of this week. while
shippers in several other parts Of
the Valley may move car by the
end Of the week.
The general activity over the VAL
ley indicates, according 70 Shippers,
an ever increasing interest in citrus,
and also an earlier season.
The competition between ne two
cars from Donna and La Feria Is
more interesting than usual in that
il is a battle Of two varieties Of cit
rus fruit. The carload which is
scheduled TO move from Donna Is
Marsh seedless grapefruit, which or
dinarily Is considered a later ma
turity variety. The carload from
La Feria is the Duncan grapefruit,
which ordinarily ripens earlier.
The growers in each case will re-
ceive about $40 a box for the fruit
on the trees, or approximately $1,000
for the fruit sufficient 70 fill 80
boxes and load a car. This is the
price that Ras Erickson. who grew
the citrus which is being moved
here, was paid for his fruit. and 4
similar price was expected 10 be paid
TO Richard Austin for the fruit
moved out Of Donna.
Another interesting angle Of the
two carloads is that both growers
forced" the fruit, BY irrigation. in
tense cultivation, and ny fertiliziny.
Mr.. Austin took a grove Of Marsh
seedless and made IL ripen fruit
ahead OF most Of the Duncan fruit
IN the Valley.
The intensive cultivation. and the
irrigation prevented the fruit from
starting a new growth from the re-
cent rainfall, and hence its matur-
ing process was not changed.
