So said the Valleys pioneer pro-
duce shipper, w. Z. McDavitt OF
Brownsville, in discussing the pres
ent shipping IA here.
In view of these conditions Of past
years, Mr.. McDsvitt expects the pres
ent season TO be an unusually COOL
one, with a fine spring crop.
Il have never seen IL fail, he de-
clared. Nv hen we have a lot Of rain
i nthe fall. and the farmers complain
because they can't plant anything
they are just saving money, because
il is the good spring produce which
brings the money.
II remember one eason when we
did not get a chance to plant until
the latter part Of January" Mr.. Nc
Davitt said. Then we were so used
to rains that we plowed and planted
the crops at the same time. "A plant.
err would 20 right along behind the
pillow down the row., and when we fin
ished blowing. we had finished plant
ing. We had a wonderful eason that
year"
Nh. McDavitt said that prospects
are very encouraging at present. The
moisture is putting n fine tone into
the soil, which will give the Valley
a good spring crop, he said.
