characterized the Valley as "a reg
ion where real Southern hospitality
y still ezemplified in full measure
adding that the jobbers had never
received more hospitality.
VI. o. Anderson. Of Topeka. Kans..
ex-presicent of the association. Is
visiting the Valley for the first
time in p years. and expressed
amazement at its rapid development.
Il was here a few days after the
mutiny Of negro soldiers 1T Fort
Brown in 1906, when Brownsville
was merely n struggling border
town. In company with Billy Ne
Davitt, | enjoyed q buggy ride 10
Mercedes over the rutted winding
trails, the entire day being eonsum-
ed in making the journey that can
nov be made in little over an hour
on your paved roads.
The Lower Rio Grarde Valley In
those days vas covered with dense
brush. There was practically no de-
v%elopment between Mercedes ana
Brownsville. Today the brush has
been replaced b. thriving citrus
fruit orchards. vegetable and cotton
farms, ali watered BY excellent irri-
cation systems. Ii seems almost i'm
possible that such n transformation
could have been wrought in those
years.
Mr.. Anderson's memory " Browns
vile received a severe shock when
he noted the change from a border
town into a modern city. Browns
vile and all the cities Of the Valley
are very progressive he stated.
"and | doubt If there Is any part
OF the United States where more
modern cities will be found within
any similar area"

tary-manager Ct the association, who
planned the side trip TO the Valley.
has visited this section frequently.
Il told the crowd at Memphis that
the Lower Rio Grande Valley is one
OF the most productive sections az
the United States, and that Valley
people have n brand Of hospitality
that is without equal" Garfitt said.
THE members of the party have as
surcd me that / owe no apology for
inducing them to make this side
trip.
"For several years various mem
bers Of the association have asked
me If ! kept my fingers crossed
when I was telling them Of the pos
sibilities of the Lower Rio Grande
country. I managed TO induce some
Of the most skeptical to make this

wounded in some little frequented
spot.
The basis for the first belief was
the fact that Williams formerly liv-
ed in Muncie, Ind. and often was
seen about here with Mr.. Kitselman.
The second was backed by the report
Of a Laredo merchant that he had
made an unsuccessful effort to
