WOULD PLANT
FEWER TREES
20 to Acre Is About
Twice Too Many,
Says Lochrie

Seventy trees to the acre. the
number usually planted in the VAL
ley. Is too many by half. according
to Geo. r. Lochrie. real estate dealer
Of Raymondville.
Planting Of $50 to the acre, as is
planned by a man at Laredo, would
be foolish. he believes.
Mr.. Lochrie writes The Herald as
follows:
l note in today's paper, under sour
Valley" al item regarding a man
at Laredo planting grapefruit at the
rate of $50 trees per acre and sour
comment that We in the Valley rlant
only 20 per acre. Now 20 trees TO
the acre seems to be the custom
Some are planting more than that
number but very few are planting
less.
The man at Laredo plants four
times too many and the average
planter in the Valley is planting
two times as many trees per a +.
as he should. You can 60 into any
orchard in the Valley that has been
out as many as s or 10 years and you
will find the limbs interlocking and
in many instances the owners have
had to cut off the lower branches
to get through with their trucks and
spraying machinery.
In my W grove Of SO 1-2 acres
which | planted in the Edinburg dis
trict / have planted T. 80 trees
to the acre. or 35x35. This looks
like an awful distance the first
three or four years but time will
convince the most skeptical that 80
feet is close enough and / believe
10 years hence the larger paintings
will be 40 feet. Oranges. of course
can be planted much closer than
grapefruit. Too many people are in
clined to base their distance of
planting by the sizes the trees have
attained in California. We can not
do that hero in the Valley as our
soil is not TO be compared with the
unfertile sandy soils of both Califor-
MIA and Florida.
The nature of the growth Of grape
fruit is more Of a bush than an up
right growing tree and all Of the
first quality fruit is grown on the
lower limbs. Why not encourage
those limbs to extend rather than
4 force them up. If our trees will
grow together in 10 wears what will
be the result in 100 years. Let US
look 10 the future. Don't be forcc<

Those HOOVeriteS
(By MRS. d. p. GAY, JR.)

Q, Those Hoovertes, those Hooverites, they re fishing with
poisoned bait,
They have ministers in the Pulpit preaching bigotry and hate.
1t is AIS religion they are fighting as they lash with a lying
rod,
Shame on a party or a people, when a man must deny his God.
The Catholics fought and bled for Old Glory and for Old Glory's
sake they died.
The Catholics and the BapHsts r buried side by side,
But the Catholic lad is fogotten buried in the ground OF hate.
But Democracy will always live in this big old Southern State.
Come back, misguided Democrats, do not stray so far from home,
Have you forgotten Fall and Sinclair and the famous T pot
dome,
Has no one ever told you of reconstruction time,
When just to be a Southern Democrat was the vilest kind Of
crime.
Has no ne ever told you of the carpet Dagger days,
Are there no more gallant Southern Sons, to once more bear
Dxi guns,
To 60 to the polls with a rebel shout, and put those Hooverites
to rout.
So Boys. come on, let Us give AL a hand, he seems a pretty
clean lad,
And, IL he fails US in every way. he will yet be rs good as We
had,
To you whiskey-hating voters, who have boIted to the other side,
You had better have Al for a groom than Mellon for a bride.
Those HoOvertes, those Hooveri.es, they never did look good
70 me,
So I'll vote my partys ticket from AL down through every
nominee,
And I'll proudly wear his emblems and float his banners high.
For a Democrat was born and bred, and that is the way I'll die.
! am good at solving puzzles, but this one has me crazy as a bat,
How can you vote for Hoover and be a Texas Democrat,
drouth,
Not even AIS religion can break the solid South.
