VALLEY

WITH GINS humming through
out the Valley and compress plants
beginning to function the cotton
season Is really under way.
While it is true that not much
Of the money has reached the chan
1AelS Of commerce in the Valley,
shere are reports that business is
beginning to feel the effects of the
crop moving.
Showers are reducing the yield
but there still are prospects of ap-
proximately 100000 bales in the
four counties of Cameron, Hidalgo,
Willacy and Starr.
Circulation of $10,000,000 In a
territory such as the Valley is sure
to bring excellent business condi-
tions.
While the shortage Of pickers has
not been serious there has been
need for some new laborerS to help
In gathering the crop.
In this connection the Edinburg
Chamber of Commerce is perform
ing valuable service. Farmers who
need additional pickers register
with that body and as the laborers
come along they are assigned to
places where the need is most
urgent.
Lloyd Bloodworth, the manager
of the chamber, reports that many
pickers are arriving in the Valley
AasT Do VI nf
coming as result of letters he has
sent out.
Farmers are sure to appreciate
such a service. There IS no charge.
AND WHILE the cotton crop is
being gathered, reports are heard
that the Valleys best citrus crop
Is taking form.
When the last cotton is moved
It will be time to gather the
grapefruit and oranges.
The yield last year, counting that
which was shipped in less than car
lots, that which was hauled out by
truck and that which was con-
sumed locally, is estimated to have
O6GI1 ulOIG I11dll ZOUU CARS.
Those in touch with the industry
express the belief the yield this
season will approximately double
that.
With Florida distressed by the
Mediterranean fruit fly infeStation
and a light yield in prospect for
California, Valley citrus growers
az looking forward to their most
successful season.
IN PREPARATION for this big
season the newest packing plant of
the Texas Citrus Fruit Growers
Exchange is being rushed to COM
pletion at La Feria.
Work was started more than a
week ago by j. E. Walsh, contrac-
tor on the job and the plant is to
be completed in 80 days.
This modern plant will cost more
than $4,000 and will serve growers
in section of the Valley where
some of the most beautiful young
orchards of the section are Just
about to come into bearing.
many O1SAAoAO 10 OA4 I11S Lid F6Ild
tract viii bear their first CONNER
cial crops this year and there will
be new production in that section
for many years to come.
The Exchange also will operate
the Val Verde plant for the first
time this year, giving it two new
points Of contact with Valley cit
rus growers.
CANNING Of vegetables and cit
rus fruit and fruit juice some day.
