Rumors have spread to the effect that John Kairis, the Holy Name society president has been away on a probated vacation. One local rooter for the "Indefatigable Jake" has, however, reported that his honor is resting his weary limbs after the arduous winter, at his summer home at Lake Quassa paug. John "Bren- ners" Vaitukaitis and Rev Gradeck, two ardent disciples of Isaac Walton, travelled out to Sandy brook and returned with q catch of fifteen and thirteen trout respectively.

TOMATO PRICE
HIKE Is SEEN
Marts May Grow Stronger
Next Week; Minimum
Is Removed
Especial to The Heraldl

HARLINGEN, June l.-PoSSibili-
ty OF a raise in the price of Valley
tomatoes after the peak movement
has been reached in Mississippi and
East Texas about the middle Of the
week. was forecast Saturday eve
ming by Homer p. Huntley, secre-
tary of the Lower Rio Grande VAL
ley Vegetable Growers association
and chairman Of the sterilization
committee in a statement in which he
also removed the minimum Of two
cents per pound which has been af-
fective for several days.
MIR. Huntley's statement follows:
In spite OF the fact that the mar
ket has been very good. Mississippi
tomatoes are being sold on a basis
OF around two cents a pound to the
grower. While Mississippi has quite
an advantage in freight rates and
train time in some shorter TO east
ern markets, nevertheless Valley
tomatoes have brought a premium
Of from Is TO so cents in the lead
ing markets Ct the country.
Daily shipments have not ex-
ceeded demand and there EXISTS no
real reason why the market should
not be strong.
IF the Valley had rs per cent Of
the tomatoes being shipped out at
present, we could maintain a fair
price. Dut, under the circumstances.
we are obliged to discontinue the
tun-rapt v,fnfrntrv. nrfra u-hfrh NC
set several days age by the stabiliza-
ton committee.
The indications now are that IN
less Mississippi and East Texas come
in with heavier shipments the first
OF this week, a fair price should be
maintained. Some shippers Satur-
day afternoon indicated they would
probably pay n and one-half cents
per pound Monday.
Since We have quite a large acre
age which was planted after the sec
ond freeze, there is a possibility Of
a very good price for our tomatoes
after the peak movement of Missis-
s!ppi and East Texas, which Is ex-
pected 10 materialize the early part
o. this week.
1T Is also quite possible that we
may have tomatoes after the other
two districts are through"
The number OF carloads of toma-
tots equal to the normal consump-
ton Ct the nation for the first week
Of June was shipped over the coun-
try Friday. Two hundred and sixty
six carloads moved with 1873 cars
from Texas, "a Of which were from
the Valley.
Florida shipped 1873 carloads with
the remainder divided between Mis-
eissippi, Ohio and other tomato CEN
ters.
Huntley stated that normal con-
sumption IN the nation ranges from
255 TO 300 carloads until the mid
die of June, when it jumped to about
100 cars.

has been working since that time.
using surveys made by ". L. Conrad
OF Brownsville on order of Judge
Bennett. and by r. q. Norfleet un-

The tremendous nature Of the task
may be realized from the fact that
In figuring the interest OF heirs OF one
landowner In the property 1t was
necessary to use a common denom-
inator in the hundreds Of thouS-

And the huge Willacy county ir-

part Of the tract.
On the south and more toward

water for that portion Of II.
Most OF the land Is Of fine text

crops.
The principal immediate develop
ment Is expected TO be in oil.
Geo-physical tests the past few
years have convinced oil men the
tract Of land has wonderful oil
possibilities. The western tip Of the
tract. in Hidalgo county. Is near
Edcouch, and only a short distance
from the Mercedes well.
Several oil companies, including
some majors and some independ-
ents, have arranged for leases In
the tract, and at least three of
them are ready to sign contracts
to start drilling as soon as the
Judgment is filed.
Practically all the tract will be
under lease in a short time.
There are two tcwnsites in the
tract. South Sebastian on the
northwest, and an old townSite
called San Dominic on the south
east. which has never been devel-
oped.
II is considered certain some new
townsites will be developed in the
tract in the near future.
Hundreds Of people have been
waiting for years TO develop land
