tent. Advocates Of deep tilling as
se-t that the more vigorous root

more resistant TO the fungus growth
which causes root rot or potato
scab. In the lower Valley potato
section scab has been practically
eliminated from many Of the fields,
and those who have experimental
in connection with cotton produc-
ton assert that it has practically
the same effect on root rot.
II believe our trees show the el-
fectiveness Of deep filling. was the
statement of A. L. Cramer. man
ager Of the j. G. Engelman develop
ment. He called attention to the
fact, that the thousands of trees
on the development had neve been
irrigated other than an occasional
watering from tank wagons; that
there had been no run-off Of rain
water from the deep titled lands
and that practically every drop of
moisture received by the land had
been retained to supply the young
trees.

CHANGE Seen In
FILLING METHOD
Use OF Deep Tillers Becom-
ing More General Among
Valley Developers

Break I'D the subsoil. give the
plant root systems an opportunity
to attain maximum growth and vi
gor, and retain all the moisture
that falls on the soil, is the advice
OF numerous growers and develop
ers OF the Valley who have become
converts OF the deep-tilling method.
and are applying deep-t:lling to cit.
rus fruit orchards as well rs r.
land utilized for staple and vege-
table crops.
Deep tilling is becoming general
in both the irrigated and non-irri-
gated sections, ard checks on re-
suits would indicate that within $
few years it will become the accept
ed practice in practically all agri-
cultural or horticultural activities.
In the non-irrigated area j. O..
Engleman IS developing an 1900
acre project under deep filling. and
in eastern Willacy county. Charles
r. Johnson. who Is developing large
acres in the San Perlita section.
is using the deep tiller on all lands
planted TO citrus fruit. and the ma
jor part of the vegetable acreage.
In that section an effort is being
made to interest farmers in stand
ardizing on deep filling. On the
Goodwin project west OF Mission
the major part Of the acreage will
be handled under deep tilling. and
the entire Progreso project Of g.
600 acres south of Weslaco Is utiliz-
ing deep tilling tools only. IN the
lower part Of the Valley many OF
the largest growers Of potatoes. A
N. Tandy 81 Sons. Fred Rusteberg.
and others are deep filling their
lands.
On the Engleman project a super
deep tilIer, going to a depth Of 80.
inches IS utilized for citrus fruit
paintings. After the land is cleared
it is prepared with a deep tiller
which penetrates the soil to a depth
Of 20 TO p inches. This does net
rurn the rich top soil under. nero
~ breaking up the subsoil- The
land i then mulched with a cover
disc which penetrates to a depth
Of several inches, and finally the
super-deep tiller is used TO check
off the tree rows. The deep tiller
then crosses the original burrows
and the trees are planted at the in
t~ersections where the Subsoil is pull
verified TO a depth Of 30 inches.
Similar methods are employed on
the Progreso development, with the
exception that a 24-inch deep till
or is employed, the latter tool be-
ing very popular wherever deep
filling Is practiced in the Valley.
The deep titled land not only re-
tains all the moisture received eth
er from rain or irrigation, but al
so tends to produce very vigorous
root systems. Encountering no hard
subsoil. the roots push downward
and feed on the deep moisture. "A
recent comparison Of citrus trees
planted under the deep tilling
method that root spread was great
~ facilitated by the looser soil, and
in the non-irrigated areas the pull
verified subsoil retained all moisture
from heavy rains during the drain
age from the land would have been
heavy under ordinary methods OF
cultivation.
Experiments indicate that deep
tilling also checks both cotton root

ficials have given the assurance
that as soon as the grading is COM
pleted it will be converted into an
a~ll-weather road and later viii be
given a bituminous topping.
Through Historic Section
The route passes through one Of
the most historic sections Of Mex
leo. At Cerralyo the oldest mines
on the western continent are locat-
ed. and this is still one Of the rich
est mineral regions in the southern
republic. These mines were operat-
ed for many centuries by the sue
cessive waves of semi-civilized peo-
pies who populated Mexico and Of

pires were the ultimate rulers. The
mines were reopened by the Span
iards in 1887, fifteen years after the
conquest of the Aztec rulers Of
Mexico City. Opening OF the high
way is expected to promote develop
ment Of rich mineral resources Of
the region. and Cerraivo, once the
most prolific source Of Spanish
wealth in the New World. is expect
cd to regain the prominence Of an

The city Of Mier. a few miles west

N WONDER TOWN. OF THE LOWER RIO GnDE VALLEY

Edcouch, better known as THE Wonder Town,
was located on the MoPac railroad extension be-
tween Raymondville and Edinburg in September or
1926. There were built several business houses and
residences to indicate a site for a town, but soon
transactions took place at a rapid rate with the
Southern Pacific erecting its main lines along the
northern limits.
Packing companies recognized this Town Site
in 1927, and their judgments were justified greatly;
for Edcouch shot forth loads of fine quality vegeta-
bIes that ranked her as the third greatest shipping
point in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
The Wonder Town, as a shipping center and as
a cotton point with its present business firms, public
utilities besides the two we'll known railroads, to-
gether with the fact of being less thar three years
Of age, proves to the people its worthiness.
