New Valley Line
Doubled, Claim


HARLINGEN. Nov. 1e.-An in
crease Of so per cent in the amount
VI territory in cultivation this year
ever last year along tho Southern
Iacific railroad in the Valley was
reported here by J. I. McGregor, ag-
r,eultural agent of the Southern Pa
riiic Lines in Texas. who was here
Friday.
Mr.. MeGregor said that he expect
ca a tremendous development in the
way Of colonization" in the near flu
ture IN the section between Falfur-
rias and the Valley.
This section, he said, is to be
utilized mainly for grape culture and
citrus frnit. The vineyards that are
being cultivated there now nave
grapes in Is months, whereas vines
shown remarkable promise. bearinf
IN California usually do not bear
until the fourth year.
The Valley section will be able 20
reach the market from three TO six
weeks ahead of California in grape
culture. and thus will not be ham-
pered by the huge output Of that
state, which is now Cutting the mar
ket. with 10000 carloads seeking an
outlet.
As to citrus fruit Mr.. McGregor
aid that the surface Of the poten-
lal market for citrus in the United
vState alone has hardly been touched.
and that there is no fear Of an over
supply for years 70 come.
The agricultural agent Of the
Southern Pacific said that unques-
tionably a great influx Of visitors
and homeseekers 10 the Valley see
lion would come within the next few
years, and that the advance guard
Is alreday here.
THE Florida boom has about
reached its end, and California Is
filled up, with the land so high
priced that il is being subdivided IS
homesites instead Of farms, so the
Valley is the only southern place
left" he declared. There IS no
question but that the people are To
continue seeking southern climates
and homes. and the Valley can be-
gin preparations to handle this large
influx"
He said he expected the lands be-
tween Falfurrias and Edinburg TO be
among the first colonized, and that
colonization officials already had
spoken TO officials Of the Southern
Pacific concerning about 100000
acres in that section.
