in over the Missouri Pacific, and at
Mercedes we saw six Pullmans on
the side track marked "Progreso De-
velopment Co." This district Is one
Of the most wonderful we have seen
anywhere. Then we met three diff
ferent Of ears taking land
parties either up or down the Val
ley. They are either entertained at
the companies club houses or ut
hotels, and the trip always includes
one trip to Matamoros, over the line
in Mexico. Some abuse the privi-
lego, OF course, but the majority
continue to be gentlemen even in
Mexico.
This is from The Brownsville
Herald Of Jan. %, 1929:
Another tourist movement into
the Valley has broken all previous
records.
NEARLY 1900 persons, from all sec
tions of the frozen north, arrived
in special trains and otherwise.
"If the movement continues, it Ia
continuing at the rate of more than
5000 visitors a month.
(Which is the largest in the his
tory of colonization in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley.
"There may have been, in the past,
criticism of the colonization methods
in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
"But no one has arisen, as yet,
with any suggestion that would make
colonization possible under some
other plan"
Preparations are under way for
the Inauguration Of the Brownsville
10 Mexico City air mail service. The
Mexico Aviation Co. has signed a
contract with the Mexican govern
ment the past week for the service,
which is understood will start in a
shcrt time. Before the summer Is
over il is expected that there will
be direct air mail service from
New York via Houston, Galveston,
Corpus Christi, Brownsville to Mex
leo City. From inside information
we learn that Lindbergh will fly the
first mail plane over the border.
Brownsville is very enthusiastic
over their air port and justly so.
We have been out to the airport
several times. 1t is about five miles
from the heart Of the city. No one
seems to pay any attention to mile
age down here.

only a few thousand bales out of from
65 900 to 10000 bales.
Mr.. Boyd did say that the early
prospects are encouraging, and that
If the present cotton year is up 10
or above the average that il should
bring the Valley its usual flood of
money, the gross return to the VAL
ley from cotton annually running
from $s,000,000 to as high as $i7 ,000,-
600.
As an Indication Of the probable
reduced acreage there has been prae-
tically no building OF cotton gins in
the Valley for the past few months,
with no announcement of plans to
erect gins for the 1929 cotton crop.
The building Of gins during the past
three years has been rapid and gen.
eral over the Valley.
IL there is no rainfall between
now and the time Of the heavy plant
ing. farmers over the Valley will
have TO irrigate rather generally,
unless they have taken special meas
ures 10 preserve the moisture in the
soil. Plenty Of moisture is necessary
TO secure good termination OF the
seed. and a satisfactory stand in the
fields.
Mr.. Boyd based his belief that the
crop will be a good one partially on
the results OF the stalk eradication
campaign which was launched in the
Valley last fall, and carried on by
the county agents, ginners and others.
The results were very satisfactory,
with these results expected to be-
come more apparent in the smaller
infestation of boil weevils to the
coming cotton crop. This is the third
year that intensive stalk cleanup
work has been carried on in the Val
ley. and a decrease is noticed every
year in the weevil infestation.
The ginners association of the VAL
ley, which by direct mail and news
paper advertising carried on the
campaign for stalk eradication last
fall. is now conducting n campaign
urging the growers to purchase a
good type of seed, L. s. graded. TO
insure long staple, superior quality
cotton.

Jobbcrs Want Grades
During the recent Valley tour Of
the Western Fruit Jobbers the pro-
posed establishment Of grades was
discussed, and IL was the consensus
that there should be no variation
from the Florida grades other than
necessary to meet local conditions.
IL was pointed out that Florida In

Florida grades are well established,
and that any marked variation from
those grades would result in endless
confusion in the marketing Of Valley

establish the grades for the three
sections upon as near the same basis

This move by the department will
delay establishment Of the Valley
grades several weeks, Mr.. Leigh said.
IL was the original intention to an
nounee the Valley grades the latter
part Of February or early in March.
and utilize them in the last few
weeks Of shipping. However, the
delay will cause no serious incon-
venience, it was said, as the Valley
can apply the grades with the open

BROTHER
NOW HAS lOl
z Owners of Famous
Ranch Killed BY
Automobiles

P0NCA CITY, Okla, Feb. I6.-P,
-Oklahoma's 101 ranch. sole surviy-
ing show place of the southwest
cattle country, has passed into the
hands of the last of three Miller
brothers who made it famous.
within a year two of the trio,
Joseph c. and George L., have been
killed. The automobile, which sue
ceeded COW ponies as their mode OF
travel, caused both deaths. Joseph
died from gas fumes and George met
death when his car upset.
Zack T., the third brother. now
will manage the 10000 acre tract.
known as Americas only big ranch
to be kept intact.
From a cattle range the 1Oi ranch
was developed into what was called
the wrold's largest diversified
farm. simultaneously the Miller
brothers kept tie spirit Of cow
boy days with their "wild vest
shows, yet transformed the estate
into a modern experiment farm.
New types Of cattle have been
raised on the ranch by c~ross-breed-
ing. "Cattilo" were produced by
bereding cattle and buffalo. AT one
time the Millers claimed the larV-
est herd Of purebred D~uroc-Jersey
hogs in the world.
Their apple orchard Is considered
the largest in Oklahoma. Oil flows
daily from numerous wells on the
ranch. Thousands of acres are de-
voted to grains and experimental
cr~op-raising.
For years the Millers' annual
roundup has attracted thousands to
the ranch. Their "wild westn show.
which makes annual tours through
out the country. includes genuine
"broncho-busters" riding outlaw
horses. Native Indians, always be-
friended by the Millers, travel with
the troupe.
Herds of "catalo." buffalo and
ostriches still roam the range
There are cages Of monkeys, coy.
otes, elk and bear.
Since the three brothers inherit
ed the ranch from their father, Col.
George W. Miller, their sons have
been trained 10 manage the farm.
Assisting Zack Miller will be his two
nephews, George W, Jr., and Joe
c., Jr.
