Cotton Cinnings
Hit $4,000 Bales

Cotton ginnings for the Valley
to date are 5000, according to
estimates made by Fl. p. Boyd Of
the Valley Gin company. Cotton
picking In the Valley has material
ly slowed down. and 1t IS now
estimated that the 1880 production
VIII be approximately 10000 bales.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-08-24

OF approximately So. 100000, al
though Mr.. Blanton would not say
definitely or express an opinion.
The So, 100000 estimate is based
on daily market reports during the
season.
An increase Of 500 cars was noted
In mixed vegetables. which topped
the list OF total shipments during
the past season with a total OF s.
TOO cars. Mixed vegetables have
been increasing annually with but
one exception, this In 1929 when 1t
fell short or the Ie27-i925 season.
Cabbage Leads
Other shipments are as follows.
cabbage. 4836: lettuce. 80, potatoes,
299l: onions, $50; beets and car
rots. 1922: dill. 2; hymiSher, !:
green corn. 1871: spinach. GAG:
green beans, GOA: tomatoes. 2272.

OTIS. 5; eggplant, 5; grapefruit. 1922:
other citrus. 1876: parsnips, 2;
mustard green's. IA; squash. is; tur-
nip greens. As.
A comparison with last years
figures reveals that the increase in
shipments Of beets and carrots was
phenomenal, from 1909 to 1922 cars.
It Is pointed out that the con-
sumption Of Valley carrots in the
manufacture or canned soup by ma
tionally advertised concerns may be
the cause Of this.
Big Potato Jump
The Jump IN potatoes was from
1862 to 1891. The increase IN to-
matces was not as marked. being
Z ON 1906 cars in 1e23-29 to 2272 in
l929-30 season.
The greatest increase during the
past season. however. was in cit
rus. which more~than doubled.
1t was pointed out that crops were
shipped not only by freight, but that
500 carloads of citrus went ont In
trucks. $50 straight cars of vege-
tables by express. and equivalent of
300 cars Of potatoes shipped in mix
ed carlot shipments.
Less than carlot shipments were
not available.
The return from cabbages was
much greater than the previous
seasons crop although the total
shipments dropped slightly from
6253 to 1896. An excellent price
was paid for 1880 cabbage.
Increase In Parsley
Parsley, a minor crop, made a re-
markable increase from ISL last year
TO PIT this year. The increase III
this crop has been steady, as a pc
rusal Of the statistics on the sub
ject reveals. In 1924. the first yelr
parsley IA shipped in carload lots,
4 cars left the Valley. The follow
ing year, 1925. the total dropped
to one car. but the following wear
jumped to 80 carloads. In 1927 the
shipments increased to 38 cars. and
the next year jumped to 90. The
season just closed showed Isl cars
Of this crop.
In commenting on the large va
riety OF commodities shipped from
the Valley. Mr.. Blanton said that
there are few other sections. II any,
which showed such a wide variety
OF produce.

Mr.. Blanton IS being copyrighted BY
