More Rain Needed
For Valley Crops
Especial to The Herald)

I5peClaI % The HeraIdJ
SAN BENITO, Feb. l5.-Although
the Saturday rain will help the VAL
ley In preparing ground for cotton.
more rain Is needed, according to
II. P. Boyd, vice president Of the
Valley Gin company.
Boyd received reports today from
practically all Valley points, indicat-
ing that from one-fourth to one
half an inch Of rain fell throughout
the section.
This will help some, but will not
moisten the ground deep enough to
make planting conditions ideal"
Boyd said.
Much planting is expected to fol-
low the rain.
1t also will benefit most OF the
crops now in growing in the Valley,
shippers said.

FROZEN FRUIT
SALE FOUGHT
Cessation of Sales Urged
BY Department
Inspector

A valley-wtde attempt Is being
made 70 stop the sale Of frozen
fruit, and TO destroy or bury 1t.
Government inspectors nos only
advise but insist that this be done.
There Is some good fruit left,
which is a temptation to growers
70 sell, but it is safer and better
Tor the citrus industry if shipments
would cease entirely" said George
II. Eigenberger food and drug in
spector Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. in a state
ment to the Mission Times Friday.
1t Is pointed out that the host
free period on citrus ends Feb. %.
and that all fruit must be cleaned
from the trees at that time.
Fruit Dry
Fruit that was on the trees dur
ing the recent freeze has dried out
rapidly during the last few days
and much Of 1t will be unfit for
marketing. Growers are urged to
clean their groves and premises OF
this fruit at the earliest possible
time and bury 1t under at least
19 inches OF dirts." said II. NJ. Ford,
Mexican Fruit and Worm Eradica-
ton expert. in the Donna News.
Mr.. Ford pointed out that the
wide spread Of infestation of the
Mexican fruit worm in the Valley
IN Spring and summer Of 1927 in
all probability resulted from the
large amount of frozen fruit which
was allowed to remain on the
nEnaNrI Tnfiau-fNn fhn Fw1nrn ~ 1Q0E-
1926.
The weslaco News said Friday:
- federal fruit inspector visited
Weslaco Monday with Mayor Kir-
gan made an inspection OF the city
in regard 10 the fruit situation.
They found considerable fruit yet
on the trees. and much on the
ground. Worse OF all, they found
J considerable refuse and overripe
] fruit in the back yards and garbage
zcans. This constitutes a menace to
fevery citrus grove in this part OF
5the country"
Cooperation Asked
Cooperation OF all Is asked in
this respect as failure TO comply
might bring about a fly infestation
that would be disastrous TO the fu-
ture Of Valley citrus growing" said
the Weslaco Standard.
To aid the grower in the disposal
of his fruit the inspectors have de-
signated certain bar pits. ravines
and other natural depressions in
each district where the fruit NAV
be buried, says the Edcouch En-
terprise.
Reports are to the effect that
growers and shippers scattered
over the Valley realize the import
ance of the burial OF fruit and are
cooperating with the Federal ms
pectors.
A. v. Smith. inspector in charge
OF the Brownsville district. said
Friday that local orchards were
unusually clean and that no Nor
clos fruit flies had been found
recently on this side Of the Rio
Grande. but that a few had been
discovered near Matamoros.
With the fly so close 10 home.
II Is imperative that orchards be
kept clean" he said.

This js whv spring wheat will head within 5o days from planting and be ready for harvest within 90 to 100 days, with an average yield of 25 to 40 bushels per acre, while oats will ripen within 95 to 105 days. yield- ing 35 to 90 bushels to the acre Peas grow to feet in heiehth and yield 20 to 30 bushels per acre. Potatoes are a dependable cash crop in many localities and are equal in quality and yield to those produced in the famous Yak ina Valley of Washington State. Berries grow and produce in great est profusion.
 "The United States Department 1 of Agriculture has estimated that 100000 square miles, or an area approximately that of Wyoming. is suitable for agriculture or as im- proved pasture. Most of this land lies within the Matanuska and Tan ana Valleys adjacent to the Alaska Railroad and is open to free home steading under the same provisions as apply in the States. It is also free from taxation. Much of the land can be cleared at a reasonable cost.
 "The United States Department of Agriculture for 30 years has maintained four agricultural ex- pertinent stations located at strate- gic points at which experimental work best adapted to the respective districts is carried on. The results accomplished at these stations are available to anyone through pub lished bulletins or circulars.
 Limit on Agriculture
 "It must be emphasized, however. that although there is much avail able agricultural land in Alaska capable of supporting in time a  large population, the opportunity for rapid expansion is limited at the present. It is not advisable for peo- pie to rush pell mell into the Terri tory with the expectation of making a success at farming
 Tt is not economical to ship farm products from Alaska to the States on account of great distances and high shipping costs. Agricul- ture in Alaska at present must be confined to the feeding of its own population. It is on this basis only that development can proceed.

ka will affect adversely the grow ing of livestock in our western States. Reindeer is speciality meat and even at maximum pro- duction its consumption would only pproximate one and one-half pounds per capita per year for our entire population.
 Cheap Timber Supply
 "The vast timber resources, es- pecially those found in the two great National Forests along the coast, afford a cheap, plentiful sup ply of raw material for lumber and for the manufacture of newsprint paper.
 These forests are owned by the Federal Government and are un- der scientific forestry management of the United States Forest Serv- ice. The timber is for sale to anyone. The land only being re- tained in Federal ownership in or der to insure continuous growth of trees. There is sufficient timber and undeveloped water power with in the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska to supply, when fully developed, the raw material for the manufacture of one-fourth of the newsprint paper consumed annually within the United States and to continue at this rate in perpetuity.
 "As our industries are developed through the increased use of the natural resources, population will naturally increase, a larger local market for farm products assured and consequently a greater induce ment for growing them.

 Most of the clearing has been done, and stumps are now being removed from the field. It will not be ready for use before late in the summer. Approximately 1000 yards of earth will have to be re- moved from part of the field and the material used for fills in oth- CT parts.
 Accompanying the Governor on the trip were: R. J. Sommers, Highway Engineer; Maj. Malcolm Elliott, President, and Ike P. Taylor, Assistant Engineer, Alaska Road Commission.

who is most likely to succeed must be of pioneer spirit, who has vision and strength and is not easily dis couraged. He must know its ch- mate, its soils, it's crops, it's eco- homie conditions. Above all the new settler should have sufficient capital to provide living expenses for a year or more if settling on new land. The minimum recom- mended is s2,5oo per family.
 "The grazing of reindeer is rapid ly becoming an important indus try and is a valuable source of meat for local consumption as well as for export to the United States. There are approximately 100000 animals on the open ranges at present and there is sufficient land and forage to support 5 to 6 mill lion head. It is estimated that in time one million head can be slaughtered and exported annually. But these facts need cause no fear that the reindeer industry of Alas
