Minnesota by a land party and

this time Of year, just prior TO
Christmas. 1t was wonderful TO me,
because the grass was green. the
birds were singing in the trees, and
the climate VAS warm. Aside from
that there was nothing TO indicate
what there is here today. They ar
ried US out and showed US a few
garden patches on five and ten
acre tracts cleared by pioneers. and
we saw the feasibility and a
perspective OF what it might be.

Some Try Too Much
"One OF the big difficulties that
often come to people Is that their
mind enlarges as TO what they
want and desire and they try to
reach out and grasp and absorb

Tells Ii
BY REX b. BAXTER

II prosperity is not already here
and II greater prosperity does not
lie just ahead, then the definition
Of the word prosperity is meaning
less.
Let US read for a moment and,
each for himself, find the answer.
Raymondville is the largest
onion. cucumber and watermelon
market in the Lower Pho Grande
Valley and is the second largest
onion market in the United States.
II is located in the heart OF the
greatest vegetable, citrus, cotton.
grain and dairy section Of the
Southwest.
The potentialities OF this section
have long since been demonstrated
and. as a gift Of nature, further
augmented by the hands Of man,
it is one of the most valuable
within the confines OF the United
States. The Rio Grande Valley
encourages and offers the best
opportunities for an intensive di-
versified farming program OF any
region in the entire Southwest.
Climatic conditions greatly aid
the success OF this program. The
Rio Grande Valley enjoys. on an
average, 3l9 days OF sunshine ev-
cry year and an annual mean tenn
perature OF 70 degrees. The ad-
vantages and opportunities OF this
section are ~unexcelled. the land is
highly productive and nature af-
fords a vegetable growth II months
in the year.
Raymondville Is destined TO be
the undisputed gateway to the VAL
ley and this is applicable TO all
forms OF transportation, bus lines.
motor truck lines, railroads and
air lines.
A most magnificent road system
has been constructed: however.
this work has just begun. The pre-
sent program calls for the eX-
penditure OF $3.50, OO0.O 90. Only the
highest type of roads are being
built. The Hug-the-Coas highway
is a vital factor in the future
growth and development and Is
being watched with a great degree
OF interest. "A good road is now
being completed from RAYMOND
vile 70 Red Fish BAY on the east
coast Of Willacy county where fish
ing. ocean swimming. boating and
other sports may be enjoyed.
The Willacy county irrigation
project, that is being financed
with a $500. 10000 bond issue, IS
the largest irrigating district In
Texas. Much Of the land in this
enterprise will be given over to
citrus development for which the
soil and climate are ideal. There
are 1850 acres included in this
district.
The census enumeration in 1890

500 per cent increase in population
over that Of 1920. It Is estimated
that the population OF Raymond

time this whole country could come
cultivation. Now that made an
impression alright but il did not
make an impression on a group Of
snowdiggers from the north, as
that is what We were. The change
great enough but the idea OF
going out into this brush and cactus
as a lifetime proposition was going
a little bit too far. There wasn't
any OF us that really could grasp IT
and at the same time assume al OF
the burden OF pioneering, and the
grief that would go with develop
ing a proposition Of that kind.
"On the second day Of our trip
we were Carried over to McAllen
and there was a little grove OF five
acres that had orange and grape
fruit trees that were three years
old and some Of those young trees
had a dozen oranges on them. Our
party had never seen an orange or
a grapefruit grow. We were as sur
prised with those little trees with
a dozen or so grapefruit and
oranges on them as land parties
today are to see trees with eight.
ten and twelve boxes on a single
tree. Consequently it made an i'm
preston, but the thing that I am
driving at IS the vision that was
the opening and the beginning of
what has eliminated in this great
proposition. / listened TO the man
that planted that little grove tell
ing us he was born and raised in
California. spent thirty-five years
Of his life there and then went 70

and had been there about fourteen
years establishing the grapefruit

industry OF Florida. He was sent
here to see what there might be in
citrus, and he set out that little
grove. I want to tell you that the
conditions that prevailed in 1912
through the u. $. In the farming
section were very similar 50 far as
prices are today-about ten dol
lars an acre off OF wheat. barley,
oats. rye, and all cereal crops.
This man, DR.. Minter, took us
out into that little grove, the seven
teen Of US, and told us what this
Valley was going TO do some day
in regard to citrus, and. in the
enthusiasm of his success OF grow
ing citrus three years old in this
Valley that were bearing oranges
and grapefruit. gave us the proof
OF accomplishing what folks see
accomplished here today. He went
so far as to say that some day every
acre Of land in the Rio Grande
Valley that vas well adapted for
citrus growing would be planted
and the production here in the
Valley would be very large and the
Valley would be a competitor with
California and Florida and that so
far as he was able to determine.
the quality OF fruit would surnass
theirs. And foretold that when that
day comes in the production Of
citrus fruit, you would see land that
was laying in brush and cactus here
today producing a crop that will
sell for a thousand dollars an acre
every year.

Over-production Grapefruit
Not Probable

Now there may be III your minds
the idea of over-production. that
we will grow too much grapefruit
in the Rio Grande Valley. There
was a man down here from New
York two years ago, whom I had
the pleasure or carrying around
over this Valley. and one OF us
mentioned the matter On the over
production Of grapefruit. He said.
Mr.. Harding. you talk about "a
thousand acres or grapefruit. down
here. or two thousand acres or
grapefruit. Your Valley would be
far better off III every available
piece OF citrus land were planted.
then you would have the means 20
establish the greatest market IN
the world for grapefruit" Well. &C

was absurd. but that has been our

then you would have the means 20

the world for grapefruit" Well. &C
first glimpse you would think that
a absurd. but that has been our
own experience with other crops
down here.
Volume Makes Market
"T remember very well IN 1909
when this Valley grew less than
three hundred carloads or cabbages
that half Of those r0tted by the
railroad track Of marketing and
shipping facilities, yet last year
there were shipped out or the VAL
lev almost five thousand carloads
or cabbages, and some growers
were paid as high as $1,000 O ton
for them, SO Ii was a question OF
producing enough TO make as much
AZ anything else. But production Is
not the only thing that has to do
with citrus growing I'm the Valley.
The facts in regard TO the citrus
growing industry arc proof positive
that there need be no fear Of over
production here III the Rio Grande
Valley. Look upon this proposition
as you would upon a commercial
proposition Of manufacturing in
any other line. regardless OF what
/: may be. IF you r in a line and
your cost or production is lower
than your competitors do you ever
worry about over-prduction? You
say. Well, II prices 80 down. Jones

That has been the theory always
in regard to production OF grape
fruit. You folks have seen the fruit
hanging on the trees. They hang
