START PROJECT
Will Plant 1000 Acres To
Citrus Fruit In Edin-
burg District

A development project designed 70
bring approximately 1000 scres into
citrus fruit production has been
launched by the j. Il. Bell CO., Inc.
Of Edinburg. who are handling lands
in the western part Of the Edinburg
irrigation district. Large acreages
already have been set to citrus fruit
trees. and the major part Of the
acreage Ia expected to be planted
before spring.
The lands handled by the COM
pany are Of an exceptionally high
type, extremely fertile. sandy loan,
irrigated by the Edinburg district,
which will place its entire distribu-
ton system under concrete. Paved
highways provide access to the
acreage, the Ware road, a paved
highway OF the McAllen district,
running through the center OF the
acreage. Connecting east and west
highways viii be paved.
Only selected Valley-grown trees,
budded from proved stock. are be-
ing planted, all trees having been
secured from the Bentsen Bros.
nurseries on Sharylard. and car Of
the paintings Is under the direction
Of Bentsen Bros. Sales are made on
the three-year plan, the developers
caring for the trees until they reach
bearing stage.
The old Ware home. n or the
most beautiful spots in the Valley,
has been selected for the club house
site providing an unsurpassed back
ground of citrus fruit and native
trees. palms and ornamentals a
practically every variety. Most Of
the sales have been made TO north
ern business men seeking winter
homes In the Valley, who have
acreaseS running from 5 to so acres
l.. r. Sell, head OF the company,
has had extensive experience III
Valley development and has made
an intensive study Of the citrus
fruit industry and its potentialitieS
we arc putting on a development
that will rank with the finest in the
South" he stated. I'VE are spar
ing neither effort nor expense tc
make this one of the most distinct
i've and productive in the Valley
Our lands have been carefully Sc
lected. and equal care has been de-
voted 70 selection Of trees. Bent
sen Bros, who are in charge Of the
field work and who care for the
trees. rank among the most expert
in this work. and the trees already
planted are evidence of the fertility
of the soil and the expert care law
islled upon them
Extensive Identification plans are
being carried out by the company
as the lands are developed. Pain:

sc

Harrington u the only city in
South Texas which can boast q
woman's chamber OF commerce, an
organization that has proved a very
important factor Tn promoting the
city's growth. It's activities, In ad-
dition to those Of the regular cham
Der Of commerce, include welfare
work, promotion on club activities,
and its influence has proved far
reaching.
In 1926 the city commission voted
10 erect IA wOmen's Chamber nf
Commerce building for the excluS-
i've use OF the women OF the city.
$4,000 in bonds being voted by the
taxpayers with practically no cppo-
sition. The building, which was
completed the following year, ~
adequately furnished throughout
and contains a library, stage and
auditorium and kitchen a. wen n5
various committee rooms.
From the day Of its completion
the Women's Chamber Of COM
merce has been the focus OF conf
munity activities. On many &C.
casions II has been taxed To capaci-

There has been no conflict between
the men and women boosters. the
two chambers Of commerce working
together An perfect unison, each
Supplementing the other in pr0mot-
ing the development and welfare Of
the city and the community it
serves.
Az several Valley cities plans are
being made for similar organiza-
tons each Of which will request a

Year Test Proves
Valley Crown Trees
Heaviest Producers

wife and I have visited every state
in the Union with the exception Of
Maine and Vermont" Mr.. Cleveland
said in referring to a recent trip
through the West and the Pacific
coast sections. Every trip has
made us more ~appTeciative of the
Valley, its climate. fertile soil ard
many comforts VIZ enjoy here. Ia
no part of the fruit-growlng areas
Of the Pacific west coast did We
find such orchards or heavy pro-
duction as are common here in the
Valley. California may be tiie

dict that within ten years she viii

They have neither the climate nor
the soil tina. enables them 20 CON-
pete with this section. Their grape
fruit does not compare with OURS
In quality or per tree production
and the Valley is growing oranges
which are in many respects super
ior to those of California. But the
big feature Is our lower production
costs, a factor which will figure
very prominently when the Valley
gets into heavy production"
Makes Study OF Industry
During the years he has resided
III the Valley. Mr.. Cleveland has
made an intensive study of the cit
rus fruit industry. and is convinced
that heavy production will open al
most iimitlesS markets.
Thus far we have not shipped
into the big markets, but IN a year
or two we will be able TO supply
them. Consumption Of grapefruit In
the United States increased ap-
proximately 100 per cent last year.
and when Valley fruit can 90 onto
the market in sufficient quantities
the consumption percentage will
show a larger increase. The differ
ence in the quality Of Valley fruit,
as compared with that CT Florida
or California, Is SO marked that II
Is certain to create a national de-
mand which will require every fruit
we can grow. The number or con-
sumers who are familiar with VAL
ley fruit Is very small. and exper-
fence has proved that wherever the
Valley product has invaded a mar
ket II has created a demand far
greater than that for the products
Of other sections.

ture aided the citrus fruit industry
Of the Lower Rio Grande Valley
very materially by placing an en-
barge Oh Florida and California
nursery stock. is the contention OF
ID. A. Cleveland, Weslaco grower,
who asserts that Valley trees ale
best by test"
Cleveland came To the Lower Rio
Grande Valley from Ohio eight
years ago, and decided to plant cit
rus fruit. OF course. the tree
agents got after me" he said. Flor
ida statesmen asserted their trees
were the best. and California rep
resentatiyes did likewise. The
claims Of Valley nurssryrnen were
more modest.
i decided to make a thorough
test. and when I planted my 7-acrc
orchard ! set half with Valley
grown trees and divided the re-
naming 3 - acres 5ctween Cali
fornia and Florida stock. There Is
no difference in the soil type, and
the trees were given the same cafe.
The Nalley-Erown trees weTa
bearing n four years; the Califor-
MA and Florida trees came into
bearing at s years, but were 6 years
or age before they we're bearing a.
heavily as the Valley trees at 4
years. The fruit I secured from
the Valley trees during their fourth
and fifth years practically paid for
the orchard. I am convinced that
it took the Florida and California
trees at least two years to acCli-
mate themselves
stu Show Difference
The trees which now are 8 wears
Of age still show a remarkable diff
ference. the trunks Of the Valley
grown stock being much larger and
sturdler and the trees larger in ev-
cry respect. Though the Florida
and California trees are producing
prcllflcallv. their average II below
that OF the Valley trees. In two
or three years. Mr.. Cleveland be-
lleves. the growth and production Of
the trees will be about equalizcd.
though he expects the Valley trees
to continue to hold a lead in tile
annual average.
The California and Florida trees
are good: I am not complaining
about them; but the Valley trees
are better" ne said. The average
Of two years Of production is one
that cannot be overlooked. Here in
the Valley we have nursery stock
that is adapted to Valley soil and
climatic conditions and budded
from high producers. These trees
waste no time In adapting them
Selyes-they are already adapted
and they start producing at an
early age. Aside from the fact thar
the embargo established by the
state department practically elm
mates the menace Of infestation
from Florida or California il has
served a very useful purpose in pro-
noting development Of early bear
Ing orchards
Industry Proves Profitable
Mr.. Cleveland, who was a taxider-
mist in the North and still prac-
tees that profession when his cit
rus fruit orchard does not demand
his attention, has found the citrus
industry very profitable. His T.
acre grove. principally Marsh seed
less grapefruit. Is netting him over
$4,000 per year. Last season he es-
tahlished a new record when he
disposed of his entire crop of Foster
pink grapefruit at 8 cents per
pound on the tree. the fruit. all OF
which was OF large size. being sold

M U SIC
LA ARGENTrNA,s RECITAL.

The fascinating personality that is
La Argentina, who halls originally from
Buenos Aires, though she is generally
termed SPANS greatest dancer" came
to Washington yesterday and conquered
an audience that packed Polls Theater
to its standing-room capacity in the
afternoon. When one realizes that La
Argentina is having TO schedule extra
programs in New York to try to fill
the demands for tickets for her several
recitals originally arranged, it is not
surprising to find approval OF her pro-
gram in Washington. Except for Paw
Iowa, however, there is no dancer who
has held an audience in Washington
within recent years, after a generous
program, to urge the dancer to give an
encore.
A spontaneity in the applause re-
warded all her numbers.
This dancer has remarkable mastery
over the caStanetS, achieving amazing
variety in tone color and eloquent ex-
preston with them. The intricate "heel-
work." which is a feature of Spanish
dancing. also is clean-cVt and clear in
its staccato tapping. But aside from her
command of these technical require
ments, it is in the supreme art Of
Showmanship and the Interpretation
through personality that La Argentina
has the secret of her great success.
She appeared in 10 dances yesterday,
each one a subtle etching of different
mood. Her most dramatic number was
probably the fire dance from De Falla'S
Eel Amor Brujo." The comic element
was at its boisterous best as the gauehe
peasant girl in "Lagarterana," q dance
from the Province of Toledo. The i'm
preSSionistic charm that emphasized ro-
mantle beauty was dominant in the
moonlit calm suggested in Albeniz'
Cordoba" The bolero of Trader In
troduced more classical note into the
dance Interpretation and Valverdes La
Corrida" gave the artist fullest sway to
display the completeness of her ability
as a mimic. In the seguidillas, without
accompaniment other than her own
clicking heels and sensuously muttertng
castenets, La Argentina was at her sub
tie best.
Excellent accomplishments were played
by Miguel Berdion, who also provided
some Spanish solo selections pleaStngly
on the piano during intermissionS be-
tween the dances. It was one OF the
most brilliant debutS that washington
has seen in several seasons. H. F.
