VALLEY

COTTON ACREAGE reduction
looms for Texas in 1882.
Vegetable acreage reduction
should be looming for the Rio
Grande Valley in 1892.
We are no farmer.
Don't have enough sense.
We do have sense enough to know
that a huge vegetable acreage
planted this coming season will
Inevitably result in a low price.
Better for everybody if the acre
age is cut down and the number
of vegetable varieties planted Is
increased.
Less expense is involved.
Less labor is involved.
More mixed cars may be shipped.
Resulting increased price will
mean that farmers and shippers
will make more money with less
effort.
Must watch our step, or the same
thing will happen to the vegetable
crop that has happened to the cot
ton crop.
Only difference is that surplus
cotton may be stored.
Surplus vegetables rot.
TOO MUCH Grabbing" going on.
we commend a rod or a gun 10
our readers.
Jar loose from the family and the
business for a couple OF days.
Bag a few white wings.
Hook a tarpon and take your bad
feelings out in exercise as you try
to land him.
Play a little bit.
Every time you get a crouch you
pass Il on to somebody.
And he passes It on to somebody
else.
The darn thing becomes an end
less chain.
Let's stop II.
Successful men and women are
Aable 10 relax.
I They forget their troubles and
enjoy themselves.
They attack their work with re-
newed vigor and refreshed minds
capable Of better things because OF
the relaxation.
UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS au-
thorities have been invited 70 send
an expedition to the Valley.
To investigate the lost city"
Give it the look over.
To be sure the city is not lost.
And was not a city.
But it should have several points
or historical interest.
we hope the university sends a
man or two 10 view the Padre Is
land site.
And to view other points Of his
torical interest in the Valley.
we would like TO see a bulletin
from the university dealing with
the historical points Of interest In
this section.
And telling some OF the tales Of
the early days.
Wondec why some ambitious mar
or woman seeking z PHD. or a
masters degree does not base his
or her thesis along those lines.
is THERE SUCH a thing as
private property any more?
Question arises from the martial
law situation in East Texas.
The oil that comes from the
ground unquestionably belongs TO
the owner Of the ground or the
nan who has the ground leased.
X What right does the state have
to tell him he cannot develop his
own property?
If the state does have that right,
does Texas have the right 10 stop
farmers from planting cotton?
Or Kansas to sop the planting Of
wheat, or Virginia the planting OF
tobacco?
An interesting principle is in
volTed.
LETTER FROM Col. Sam Rob-
ertson anent the subject Of storms
as news.
Comments the way the Herald
has been handling them for which
We thank him.
Brings up again the subject OF
the construction OF a mile or 50 Of
pavement at Boca Chica.
Not through a bond issue.
Not through a warrant issue.
But BY a self financing plan
whereby the county takes over the
toll bridge and gives the road as a
consideration for the bridge.
Says with q good road people
with nerves could get away from
the beach in Just n few minutes.
