MILLION OFF
CITRUS CROP
u of Crop Yet To
Move, 1900 CARROTS
Shipped TO Market
Early In Season

ezr~Ds return on citrus fruit from
the Lower Rio Grande Valley dur
ing the present season Is approx-
tmately 100000.
This includes the fob. price. and
the total return is estimated on
the basis Of a SITS a box return.
Price on u. S. No. / grapefruit
Is higher than that amount. and
fruit shipped in bushel containers
Is bringing more, but some fruit is
selling for slightly less than that
price, according TO reports, with the
result that Sl.75 a box is consider
ed a fair average.
The Valley has shipped approx
Imately 1900 carloads OF fruit to
date, including slightly more than
400 cars By truck, and close to 1900
carloads BY rail.
The large margin OF rail ship
mentS over truck shipments Is in
direct contrast TO the handling OF
fruit last year, when truck ship
mentS were in the lead during a
large part of the season.
Movement OF Valley fruit is ex-
pected to increase some during
the winter months. the shipments
having averaged close TO so car
loads a day during the past few
weeks. With an estimated 5000 70
1000 cars to be marketed, the bulk
Ct the crop viii move during De-
cember.
If prices hold at their present
level, or increase as Is considered
possible during the winter months.
the present crop Of citrus fruit bids
fair to bring TO the Valley a larger
gross return than any crop in the
sections hitsory with the exception
Of the 1929 crop.
