sorrow and great regret that I
learned of the death of Thomas
Taggart, my personal friend of
many years standing. He was a
man for whom I held the highest
esteem. While we were political
opponents, ! always regarded him
as a clean fighter and one of the
most likeable and appealing person.
alities. He was invariably liked by
his acquaintance and loved by
those who knew him best.
RICHARD N. LIEBER, Director
State Conservation Department,
RepubIican-Often we fail to notice
the great among us only to discover
that when death has entered, an
other illustrious man has been re-
moved. Thomas Taggart's stature
had been growing for long years.
His death sadly parts him from his
dear ones and his friends, but it
can not impair the force of those
great activities he has set in motion.
ConservationiSts always will link his
name gratefully with "the valley
(Flrench Lick and West Baden) =,
with Thomas Taggart park, and
with that great movement which
ultimately brought Indiana dunes to
the state.

County Chairman feel the loss of
an extremely close friend. The city
of Indianapolis loses one of its
best friends-and the state of In
diana. He was an exceptional man.
CRIMINAL JUDGE JAMES A.
COLLINS-From immigrant boy to
United States. senator is the story
of Thomas Taggart. Few men have
been signally honored more than
Mr.. Taggart, with the positions of
Marion county auditor, mayor OF
indianapolis and chairman of the
Democratic national committee.
Notwithstanding his political activ-
tiles he was a successful business
man and in the great hotel at
French Lick he leaves a monument
to his genius and business acu-
men. However, he will be remem-
bered best by those whose lives
have been touched by his kindly
acts, and they are legion.
MAYOR L. ERT SLACK-The
death of Thomas Taggart creates
universal sorrow. Perhaps no man
of indianapolis had as many loyal
and personal friends. His public
official services was limited because
he was not attracted to public of
flee, but his public service. was con-
tinuous. The city of Indianapolis
is under obligation to him for his
administration as mayor, when
various permanent public services
were ENTHUSIASTICALLY the pur-
| chase OF TaggarJ park. He never
ceased giving public service, building
and stimulating public spirit, and
the doing of personal favors for his
friends in and out of politics. His
achievements, starting IN most
humble way and rising to great in
t1uence, are conclusive evidence of
his great power and organizing
ability. Indianapolis will do well to
honor his name and memory con-
tinuously.

He was keen, shrewd, always fair to

which last season comprised over 20

also a comparatively new industry

When the resident Of the North
goes into the dining room Of a high
class hotel during the early spring
months and notices roasting ears
upon the menu. he can generally
rest assured they came from the
Lower Rio Grande Valley. Ten
years ago roasting ears in March,
April and May were almost I'M
heard of in the North. Markets for
this commodity have been extended
TO all parts of the United States.
and the early shipments almost al
ways represent big profits for the
growers.
Green beans have proved one OF
the Valleys most profitable crops,
with shipments averaging around
800 cars, freight and express. The
high quality of the Valley product
has created a widespread demand,
and Valley beans almost invariably
command a premium over Florida
or California production. During
the early years Of Valley develop
ment green beans were not shipped
In large volume, but since 1925 the
shipments have averaged ovet 300
cars annually.
Volume of Mixed Cars Increased
One of the principal factors in
developing markets for winter vege-
tables has been the mixed cars, cars
containing from two to a dozen diff
ferent commodities. Practically all
the straight cars 90 to larger mar
kets-Chicago, New York. Philadel-
phia. St. Louis. Cincinnati. Kansas

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-09-22

invariably go into the smaller mar
ket which could not aSsimilate
straight cars of any one commodity.
In recent years development Of
the mixed car business has been
rapid. Many Of the smaller mar
kets, which formerly secured their
supplies from the large market cen
tiers. are now buying their winter
vegetables direct from the Valley
shippers. Purchasers can specify
the loading of the mixed car, assur-
ing they Will receive TO more Of one
commodity than their market can
consume. This renders them indie
pendent of the large central mar
kets. assures receipt of vegetables in
excellent condition. and permits
them TO place these commodities
upon the market at a lower price.
Many dealers in cities ranging from
$4,000 to 10000 population are now
ordering the major part Of their
winter vegetables supplied in mixed
cars.
Heavy movement OF mixed cars
began in 1921 with 1852 cars. The
movement has shown a consistent
increase each year. passing the s.

Facilities Promote Industry
While the basis for the rapid de-
velopmcnt of the winter vegetable
industry is the fertile soil and un-
rivaled climatic conditions. one Of
the mort important factors is the
excellent facilities provided by the
railroads serving the Valley-the
Missouri Pacific and the Southern
