HARLINGEN, June 12.-Three out
Of the thirty Texans who sailed last
week from Annapolis. Md, aboard
the battleShips Wyoming and Ar

midshipmen hail from the Valley.
One OF them Is Robert Lee Town

a third is Lawrence H. Birthisel, Jr.,

The local boy is a son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John ID. Townsend. He gradu-
ated from Harlingen High school IN
1927 and atteT-ied Brownsville jun
Tor College one year. He made high
grades in IL, naval academy prep
school before entering the academy
itself last June.
Born BroC 5 is the son Of Boyd
Brooks who lived for a time IN
San Benito and Harlingen before
removing to Corpus Christi. He
graduated from San Benito High
School several years ago and at
tended Marion Military Institute IN
Alabama before going to Annapolis.

ed out in real earnest to make the
performance Of the general run OF
plants come somewhere near the
performance Of the individuals. My
first real encouragement came in
the winter Of 1923. when obServa-
ton OF several hundred plants set
at Miami Beach led me TO believe
that while / only succeeded in
breeding up a type that would
come about 40 per cent true TO

teristics. that l could set four
plants in a hill and be able TO

o! fruit sold readily at five cents
per pound on the tree.
Because Mr.. Stambaugh has be-
come convinced that the finer
grades Of papaya can not be prof
itably grown in Florida on a COM
mercial scale. and believes that they
can be successfully grown in the
Valley, Mr.. Ladd was able to ar
range for him to transfer his act
ivities to this section and devote
all Of his time and talent to max
ing the Valley the principal produ-
Ger Of papaya for the American
markets.

ROOTS PRODUCE
FEW GROWTH

AS Mr.. Stambaugh sizes up the
situation IN the Valley. there is
only one unfavorable factor TO be
considered in the growing Of the
improved type Of papaya on a COM
mercial scale. and that is the dam
ger OF freezing. as the papaya is
more liable to frost injury than is
citrus fruit. However. when a pa
paya grove in the Valley is frozen
down, the roots will put out suck
ers and this new growth will pro-
duce a crop OF fruit by the follow
ing August. The papaya produces a
heavy crop OF fruit each year. and

in Florida that the better Grades

FLORIDA MAN SEES VALLEY AS
PLACE FOR SUCCESSFUL PAPAYA
y y = y = = =
CULTURE; PLANS BIG ACREAGE

The Lower Rio Grande Valley
may become the heaviest producer
o. nigh grade papayas In the Unit
60 States. In fact. the present indi-
cations are that 1t is the only Sec
ton IN which this fruit can be prof.
itably grown on a commercial scale.
The citrus fruit industry is firm
ly established in the Valley. The
superior quality Of our grapefruit
gives reasonable assurance Of pro-
fitable marketing Of the better
grades OF Valley citrus, even Ia the
lace OF a heavy increase In produc-
uon, but II has long been felt by
many OF our forward looking CT
tzens that our soil and climate
areAyell adapted to the growing CT
cert In tropical and semi-tropical
fruits. which are not at this time
produced in commercial quantities
In the United States.
Among these fruits the papaya
has been given considerable at
tenticn because OF its rapidly OF
growth, heavy production per acre
and medical qualities Of the fruit.
II. @. Stilwell of Brownsville. has
been quite successful in his expe-
riments with the papaya. Because
OF the results obtained by Mr..
Stilwell, Chas. r. c. Laid. who Is
at this time developing the 9,400
acre tract OF Valley land known as
Adams Gardens became very much
interested in the development OF a
papaya industry here. which would
ultimately rank next to grapefruit
IN the amount Of profit realized
per acre.

GOOD PRICE
RETURN NOTED

The ability OF the papaya TO
produce an enormous amount OF
fruit per acre that will bring a good
price Is. Of course, the important
thing from an economical stand
point. Nearly 500 plants, capable of
producing a field average OF 100
pounds per plant in twelve months
from the time OF setting, may be
grown upon an acre OF land. Two
years ago I received fifteen cents
per pound wholesale for my i'm
proved fruit, when the regular mar
ket was seven cents.
The n real difficulty with the
commercialization of the papaya
has been the inability Of the exist
ing types to come true to type from
seed. To make the papaya come
true to type from seed has been
my principal aim in life for the
last seven years. Certain individual
plants that came under my obser-
walton made 500 pounds Of fine

In papayas. some 1875 varieties had
been introduced into FLORIDA by

had become crossed with the infe-
Irior papayas native TO Florida.

hat was palatable and worthy of
being placed upon the market. The
\ problem which confronted him was
Ito develop a papaya which would

n After several years experimental
v ton. he finally succeeded in stand
ardizing a variety Of papaya which
/. could be grown from seed, and be-
cause he found 1t possible to dis
| tinguish and select those plants
which were true to type, he was
able to supply nursery stock which
produced fruit Of uniform qualty
and flavor.
In introducing Mr.. Stambaugh at
the forty-third annual meeting OF
the Florida State Horticultural So
ciety. April, 1880. Mr.. G. /. Brooke.

HEALTHFUL
FRUIT, SAY EXPERTS
In talking OF his experiments
with the papaya, Mr.. Stambaugh
said:
The papaya is really fine, palat-
able and a very healthful fruit, de-
serving much more attention than
IL has had in tn. past. A good
papaya Is among the finest Of break
fast melons. From the palatability
angle. the specification a good
papaya' is used adyisedly, as the
majority Of papayas offered for sale
are not good. But the best OF the
new types are quite as good as the
salmon fleshed canteloupes and will
find favor with the most exacting
purchasers. Several OF the types
come true TO seed in a rather
small but definite percentage, and
they al be selected for character.
Another item that must not be
overlooked Is the health value OF
the papaya. When men like DR..
John II. kellogg, OF Battle Greek
Sanitarium, go on record and
ascribe specific healthful qualities
to a certain fruit there must be
some reason for Ii. He has COM
mended the papaya principally be-
cause OF the vegetable pepsin con-
tent OF the fresh papaya and its
resulting tendency to correct digest
I've disorders.
Il have established the fact that
the improved type Of papaya can
be shipped, without refrigeration.
to any point in the United States
and arrive IN good condition. Two
years ago I shipped to Bristow,
Oklahoma. a crate OF ten papaya,
picked for color IS per cent yellow.
These papaya were packed in
crumpled newspaper in an ordinary
pepper crate. car being t-ken that
they were packed tight enough so
that they could not move about in
the crate; were shipped without
icing and were seven days on the
way. This crate was shipped TO Mr..
Claude Freeland and he afterwards
told me that the last one was not
ready to eat for ten days after ar
rival. or seventeen days from
picking.

RECOGNIZED AS
SPECIALIST

After a careful investigation, he
found that Scott u. Stambaugh, OF
Miami. Fla, is recognized as spe-
cialist in papaya culture and Is
acknowledged by horticulturists TO
lave made wonderful progress in
the development Of fruit which can
be successfully and protitably
marketed. Arrangements we're made
for Mr.. Stambaugh TO come to the
Valley, and after an intensive
study of conditions existing here.
he states that he Is convinced that
the Rio Grande Valley is much
better adapted TO the growing OF
papayaS on a commercial scale
than Florida. He found that the
growth here is much more rapid,
and that production costs. because
fertilization does not seem neces-
sary. will only be about one-tenth
of that required in Florida.
Mr.. Stambaugh has been expert
menting with the papaya in For
ida since 1916 and has developed a
variety which is as palatable rs the
finest ca%nteloupe and Is such a
good shipper that It can be market
ed In any section OF the country.
