Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-03-19

WHILE Brownsville and the VAL
wv ley arc awaiting with great II
ticipation the voting Of the APP
preparation for the port. Houston,
it seems. is suffering growing pains
from hers.
And there seems TO be some cause
for it. According to the Houston
Chronicle: The port business Of
that city showed an increase of ~
per cent during January and Feb
ruary, compared with the same per-
Tod last year."
That Is a mighty business record.
Now 1t seems the Bayou City must
turn around and get some more
grain elevators and a right-of-way
for a railway to VI down both sides
Of the channel, through the indus
trial center. There is none, who
will deny that the port has been
Houston's greatest business asset.
This will prove TO be the case for
Brownsville and the Valley.
We are prone TO thoroughly agree
with VIII Rogers that We used 70
think prosperity a condition. but
that 1t has nov become a commod-
ity.
INCIDENTALLY. while We are
guessing on what day the m
nibus bill, carrying this enter
prise. will come up for a ballot. the
: .ain gods. led by j. PluviuS. have
answered our prayers for the pota-
TO and truck growers. and the VAL
ley went 10 sleep last night listen
ing to the patter Of a million dollar
rain.
ACCORDING 70 a telegram from
IA The Herald's Austin c%orrespon-
dent. the house has cast a ia
vorable vote on the permit for a mil
lion dollar causeway over Laguna
Madre. and its final passage is x
pected today.
Talking about million dollar pros
poets in the Valley these days is
getting like asking a companion for
q match.
VING Cabbage took a tumble yes
n terday. but there be those who
now declare the vegetable mon
arch has picked up his crown. and
Is busting It off 70 set on top OF his
head again.
Various were the arguments as
10 the causes of the drop IN price,
and almost as many are advanced
now on how to regain the lost
ground on price. III the final anal
ysis the Valley has cabbage, and
other portions have not so much as
usual. and chances are that situa-
ton will have more 70 do with II
than anything else.
Cabbage above $50 a ton. or at
that price makes a most profitable
crop for the Valley.
