Predict Future Growth
One of the most notable features
Of the development Of Willacy
county and the Mestenes area o.
Hidalgo county is the spirit of CO.
operation which pervades both the
rural and urban populations. and
the abiding faith IN the future Of
this region Of unsurpassed fertility
Every interest Of the entire area Is
conferred in the development Of the
agricultural and horticultural re-
sources, with each individual ap-
parently erdeavoring to hasten the
time when the entire region Will
become intensively developed and
adding its wealth Of production to
swell the Valleys shipping total.
This is the most compact acre
age Of highly fertile land IN the
world, and while development Of
the past three years has set a new
pace. I am confident that 1t will
appear insignificant IN comparison
with what will be accomplished IL
the next three years" was the
statement of Geo. n. Lochries, one
Of the leading developers of the sec
ton. We have merely started here
in Willacy county. We know what
this soil is capable of producing:
We know that in comparison with
this section there Is no similar ag-
ricultural area in the world that
possesses such an abundance Of re-
sources or which has been more fa-
vorably endowed by Mature There
is sound basis for our optimism,
and when our development plans
are completed this section of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley will star
tie the world with the great quaint
ty and diversity Of the products OF
its citrus fruit orchards. cotton and
vegetable farms, dairy herds and
poultry flocks."
Development Well Financed
Practically al developments II
the Willacy res have been amply
financed. Millions of dollars have
been expended in clearing lands,
setting out citrus fruit orchards
and building homes and highways.
Thousands Of acres have been pur-
chased by experienced farmers from
the North who appreciate the Won
derful qualities Of the soil. and
cores Of capitalists have invested
in citrus fruit acreage with the OBJ
~lective Of making their winter
homes III the land Of winter sun

have been developed upon the So
called three year plan. the develop
