DONNA, Jan. 23--All the beauty
OF the Valley is not found along
the highway. Many beautiful home:
and places OF interest are found on
the by-ways established long be-
fore pioneers dreamed OF the de-
velopmentS Of the present time,
Before the longest paved street In
the world was planned, the Valley
highway.
one Of the most interesting spots
in the whole of the Rio Grande
Valley, Is located just southeast OF
Donna and Is owned by b. Z
Shepherd.
Here 10 Years
Mr.. and Mrs. Shepherd came 10
the Valley eighteen years ago and
established the home which they
now occupy. Coming from DeS
Moines, Iowa, where Mr.. Shepherd
was an instructor in Drake Univer-
sity for thirty years. He was q
member Of the first faculty after
the university was founded and re-
manned longer than any other.
They have two daughters b$h
graduates Of the Donna high school
Miss Eugenia is now an instructor
in Drake University, and Mrs. S. j
Bonham is a teacher in the Gal
weston schools.
Owns Two Tracts
Mr.. Shepherd owns two large
tracts OF land one OF which Is de-
voted largely TO the raising OF cit
rus fruit. He expects TO have about
three thousand boxes from his or
chard this year, some OF which !:
being picked at this time. He Il
expecting TO bud a thousand new
trees. In the spring.
A remarkable sight in this or
chard is q citrus tree which bear:
two varieties OF grapefruit and q
delicious orange. This tree was
grated.
Prize Orchard
A prize orchard found on this
| place consists OF five year old tree,
which are most uniform in size
and bear an excellent grade o.
grapefruit.
The bearess lime tree which pro-
duces a fruit much larger than thu
average grown and Is entirely seed
less. Is another remarkable feature
Of this orchard.
Tangerines Pretty
An acreage OF %tangerines on thi:
place is indeed a sight 10 behold
and may easily be compared to the
pot Of gold at the end OF the rain
bow. This fruit is larger than the
average tangerine and Of extreme
" fine flavor.
Mr.. Shepherd also has two vari-
cites Of banana trees. The Orinka
which is the common variety grown
IN the Valley. and the Hearts
choice, which is an excellent fruit

BEAUTY OF VALLEY ENHANCED

and a rich yellow IN color. One
peculiar feature Of the banana plant
is that 1t produces only stalk
OF fruit a. then dies away, giving
place to new plants which soon
spring up. Thirty-eight punches
Of bananas have already been
picked from these plants this sea-
son. The plants usually bear in
the second year.
Variety of Fruit
A great variety OF fruit trees are
grown on this place. among which
are four varieties Of figs, the Cali
fornia grape. the loquc which Is
sometimes called the japanese
plum, the fruit ! large but not
abundant, two varieties Of olive
trees, and a cherry tree which pro-
duces q large and delicious fruit.
Several large pecan trees are
found and bear TO some extent.
The queens land nut tree. rarely
heard OF here, grows well here due
TO the tropical climate as this plant
Is very susceptible 70 the cold.
Several large alligator pear trees
are found in this orchard. They
are OF the West Indian variety and
differ greatly from the Mexican
avocados and ire a very hardy
fruit. Few develop large enough
for seed. However some OF the fruit
Of these trees have attained the
weight OF one pound. The fruit IS
picked as soon as mature. The
seed OF these trees came from Flo
rioa several years 40.
TaIlow Interesting
Anoth-- very interesting plant
found here is the tallow tree. The
berry OF this tree Is used By the
Chinese and japanese. being native
Of those countries. to make the
