lST CARLOADS
OF CITRUS MAY
MOVE TONIGHT
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
192s-29 crop are expected TO start
rolling out Of the Valley tonight.
One is scheduled to 20 from Dom
na. shipped by the Wade & Newton
plant there; the other is scheduled
TO 20 out Of this city, shipped by
White & Lawler.
Citrus was rushed into the pack
ing plants Tuesday in sufficient
quantity TO load a car. and vas given
the sweat process. for coloring. dur
ing the night. and il is expected that
the final papers will be passed. and
that the fruit will be on the way out
Of the Valley tonight.
Destination points were not an
nounced on either car, although Mr..
Lawler said that the carload from
here probably will 20 to middle
west points. II will be started roll
ing without a definite destination,
he said.
with the moving OF these two cars
the f92s-29 citrus fruit season will
be properly launched, and the move
ment is expected TO gain momentum
after that time. A carload of fruit
is expected TO be moved by the Tex
rs Citrus Fruit Growers Exchange
by Saturday Of this week. while
shippers in several other parts Of
the Valley may move cars 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 10 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 $40
boxes and load n car. This Is the
price that Ras Erickson. who grew
the citrus which Is being moved
here, was paid for his fruit. and =
similar price was expected TO be na.d
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 ~ fertiliziny.
Mr.. Austin took a grove OF Marsh
seedless and made it ripen fruit
ahead Of most Of the Duncan frui.
in the Valley.
The intensive cultivation. and the
irrigation prevented the fruit from
starting a new growth from the &c
cent rainfall. and hence it's matur-
ing process was not changed.

b the scene Of the annual Hartford

school game on November "a in
preference to the Velodrome in East

OF the athletic authorities Of both
schools are changed.
This decision was arrived at In a
meeting between Principal Louis r.

lotted before. Hartford in turn will
be allowed enough tickets to take

Accommodations will be made for
over 10000 persons. Although the
capacity of Buckley stadium. which

quite that number, the park board
OF Hartford has consented to allow
