REUNION OF BLUE AND GRAY
TO END ALL ILL FEELING

At the approach Of Confederate Me-
mortal Day, (April 26 in Alabama,
Georgia, Florida and Mississippi; May
10 in North and South Carolina and
June in Louisiana) and the national
Memorial Day (May 80 it is inter-
esting to note that there is now a
project under way which is designed
ito opliterate the last remnant of i'll
feeling between the section of the
North and the sections of the South,
as we once knew them"
This project is the proposal made by
a congressman from Nebraska for a
Joint reunion of Union and Confeder-
ate veterans in Washington this year
and it has special interest for citi-
zens of this state. In this issue of
The Miner there is an illustrated
feature article by Elmo Scott Watson
which tells of the plans for this re-
union and which also contains some
interesting comment on events which
are helping to do away with "Ilnpleas-
ant memories" of the War Between
the States. Be sure to read "Joint
Reunion of Blue and Gray?" in this
issue.

A WILDERNESS
Citrus Trees Replac-
ing Mesquite and
Cactus on Big Acre
age North of Donna

naturalization of an ambition
which had its inception over fifteen
years ago is being achieved by ]. c.
Engleman, Valley developer, who Is
rapidly Transforming a large acreage
OF extremely fertile land on the
Mestenas tract, in the unirrigated sec
ten twelve miles due north Of
Donna, from a brushland wilderness
INTO an agricultural area that has
been pronounced without peer in the
Southwest.
yer 1000 acres comprise this de-
velopment which has been accom-
plished with a speed that is surpris-
ing TO even the residents of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, for years
accustomed TO rapid development of
the virgin soil.
Less than two years ago that sec
ton Of the Mestenas tract comprising
the Engleman holdings was a wilder
ness Of mesquite. cactus and tangled
thickets of u~nderbrush, penetrated
by a few senderos and game trails, a
favored haunt of Mexican lions and
javalinas.
Today the vast acreage is a SHIN
mering sea of verdue, the dark foil
age of citrus against a background of
cover crops and cotton fields, reflects
ing the Valley sunlight as the breeze
sways the trees, forms a picture that
must be seen to be appreciated. Over
1900 acres have been planted to
citrus fruit, the trees proving by the
dark green Of their foliage and the

Gus in the Valley.

tion and extension 70 the water

souri, Pacific is drawing plans for
a new passenger station there. A
number of smaller buildings are be-
ing started in Raymondville and
other parts of the county. and more
paving work is scheduled to get Tn
der way soon.
Contract for a $4,000 addition to
the West Ward school in Harrington
has been awarded. and work on two
other schools in that city. costing
about 500. 900. Is nearing completion.
San Benito Program
San Benito announces a school ex-
pansion program. starting with the
creation Of a $4,000 brick school
building in the. Mexican part of
town. and including improvements in
some of the buildings in the town.
rs well as beginning Of plans for a
greater development.
New paving Jobs are being launch
ed in practically all parts Of the
Valley. irrigation Developments are
continuing. and brush IN being clear
cd off the land. rs thousands Of
acres more land is brought under
cultivation.
Indications are now that there will
be few acres of andeveloped land
left on the American side of the
Rio Grande in this section in a few
more years. as most CT the brush
lands are being cut up and cleared,
with citrus planted TO replace the
mesquite and cactus.
While these developments are In
progress the Valley il taking steps
to form a ~four-county navigation
district to finance the port at Point
Isabel. following receipt Of informa-
zion that an appropriation has been
recommended for the port by the u.

orchards. and the lighter green Of
cover crops and cotton field, inter
spersed with occasional blocks OF
blush land, spreads out before the
observer.
Have Rigid Sales Rule
The developers have made it a
rigid policy to make no sales con-
tract without including a clause
delegating 10 the company the han
ding of the citrus orchards until
they reach bearing stage. Only
once, during the first months OF the
development, was this rule broken,
and as q result there is one ten-acre
block Of citrus trees that are what
tie developers term as an "eyesore."
II Il the only block in the hundreds
Of acres that Is not cultivated uni
formly and planted to cover crop,
and stands as a warning against per-
hitting inexperienced owners TO at
tempt TO bring q young orchards to
maturity. Surrounded on four sides
bv countless thousands of thrifty
tees. every row well cultivated and
planted to cover crop, the ten-acre
block is in every n the "~eyesore"
Of the development.
Mr.. Engleman was one OF the
pioneers in development work in the
Valley, but rates his present project
as the most ambitious and successful
he has ever undertaken. 1t is the
elimination Of years Of experience,
research and investigation, a devel-
opment that is proving the extreme
IL rtility of the unirrigated section
of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, and
which its developers are confident
IS destined TO bring under develop
ment additional thousands of acres
which now bear nothing but mesquite
and cactus.

ing bonds in the amount Of $1,000

and a causeway constructed across
the floodway south of Donna. The

with the main highway of the Edin-
burg district which will parallel the

rigated section.
Interest in the bond election is
keen and a record vote is expected

moters of the paving program to
make immediate sale OF the bonds IN
the event they are authorized and
award construction contracts as
soon as possible.
All road districts in Hidalgo

premiums on their fonds. and an ef-
fort is being made to secure a heavy
vote and a large majority for the

sure a good premium when the
bonds are placed on the market.
