food for children, invalids, and for
the population in general.
Valley beans are one exception 70
the pack problem, ms they are packed
in bushel hampers, rather uniformly,
and there is a stronger demand for
them than for the 7-S bushel hampers
from Florida. Mr.. Crawford COM
mented on the Valleys practice Of
recent seasons of grading beans, de-
clarin gthat il will result in a still
better demand and price. It is better
to leave the beans in the field. than
to ship an inferior quality, he de-
clared.
Tomatoes have proved a rather diff
ficult problem this season mad some
other seasons. because Of varying diff
ficulties. The Valley is meeting
stronger competition In tomatoes
than in most other produce. he said,
principally from Florida, Jackson
willie and Mexico. The Valley va
rieties of tomatoes are not in as
strong demand in most sections as
the Mexico tomato, and also the
quality of tomatoes usually is not
even up to the general average Of
other produce from the Valley.
Mr.. Crawford said he noted q,
gradual change in the packing and
marketing Of produce from this sec
ton. indicating that the Valley Is
learning from experience. and that
this section will be putting a better
product on the market in the future.
Citrus Fruit Good
As to citrus fruit the Valley has
little to fear IL this section can
turn out a clean. uniform. and at
tractive looking fruit. The quality
is unouestionablv better. and the de-
mend Is increasing.
He told an instance Of Valley
fruit on the st. Louis vegetable ex-
change. The Valley car was placed
on sale. and several sample boxes
opened. The first car was verv slow
in selling. due mainly to the ap-
pearance of the fruit. But the sec
ond car brought a premium, and all
Ears after that brought a premium
over California and Florida grape
fruit because of the superior quail
itv.
This quality will mean that the
Valley can always maintain a mar
ket for its grapefruit. il clean. at
tractive fruit Is shipped from this
section. in uniform sizes, and uni
form packs.
"A number Of interesting points in
connection with the Valleys vege-
table and fruit producing in the flu
ture were brought out by the spe-
cialist.
"You hear a lot of talk about
California" he said. "California
can touch you in YOUR ter
ritory. which is the Mississippi basin
and the Atlantic Eeaboard. If you
nut the same quality produce on
the market there. YOU can undersell
them because Of the difference in
freight rates. in spite Of Califor-
MAS differential."
Cheap Freight Needed

last year and only 1882 the preced-
ing season, the movement having in
creased almost 100 per cent in three
years.
The fruit movement has increased
ever 400 per ZEN in three years. In
l925-26 the Valley shipped 2s6 cars,
and 749 in 1926-27. Despite the un-
favorable growing conditions in the
spring Of 1927 the shipments the
past season went TO 1,145 cars.
There has been very little varia-
ton in potato shipments from the
Valley in the three eason The
total 70 May 81 this year was 1888
cars as compared with the season
total Of 1891 last year. The 1885
shipments totaled 1920 cars. The
green corn movement showed q de-
crease this season, only All cars be-
ing shipped to May 81. as compared
with a total of LOAF last season and
S57 in 1925-26. Green corr ship
ments will continue 70 the last of
June.
Carrots and beets, among the
heaviest crops of the Valley, show
a steady gain each year. Shipments
this season were 3.004 cars, with
the movement still underway. Last
season the total was 2,5z6 cars, and
in 1925-26 the Valley shipped 2,344
cars of these commodities.
Among the vegetables now listed
in Valley shipping reports, which
were not produced in this section
two years ago are anise, broccoli,
chicory, dandelions, escarole. Eng
lish peas, radishes. romaine, savoy
and shaalots. OF these various COM
modities So cars were shipped this
season. and practically all Of them
will be included among the heavy
shipments next year.
Production Of onions and spinach
has decreased steadily the past three
years. The carlot movement of on
ions in 1885 was 321 as compared
with "a this year. Only Is cars of
spinach moved from the Valley as
compared with So in 1925-26.

After all other offices nave been
closed around June 1st, the San An

a watermelon bulletin until the
leased wire "a discontinued June 80.
After that date the watermelon SER
vice was transferred TO Fort Worth.
The San Antonio office issued no bull
letin the first part Of November in
1927; the office was closed nearly
two weeks in December during the
holidays; in April and May Of 1928
this office issued no bulletins at all,
but was used as a relay station for
the other offices and after the La

closed the only material relayed was
TO the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
During the eight months the

season is comprised within the five
months. January 70 May. However,
the Lower Rio Grande Valley ships
more or less merchandise constantly
all through this period, whereas the
other sections served BY the leased

commodities for q limited period
only. During the eight months the
