Deep in The Heart Of Texas
A Series on the 'Lone-Stdr' Stote
. By B. B. GAUMER

Letters of travel, relating COM
mon-place experiences and OBJ
servations, are of great interest
to many readers, not only to those
who have travelled much but to
those who have travelled little.
While / have returned home from
my vacation, these articles will
continue for a few issues. Much
of the contents was written IN
Brownsville and San Antonio,
Texas, but some of it since my
return to Marysville.
This trip was intended as a
comparatively short one, although
! came home 10 days earlier than
/ had anticipated. Having seen
all | wanted to see, and having a
longing to see good old Marys-
vile and home again, to say moth
ing of honest winter, / took an
early start on the trek back north.
Brownsville, Texas, is a beauti-
full city of about $4,000, with more
than half the population being
MexicanS. Some are poems, but
some high grade business and
professional men. Everywhere are
TO be seen palms of various kinds,
Towering shrubs, cactus, and, of
course, grapefruit, orange and
other citrus fruit trees may be
seen in most yards.
A few years ago, the Rio
Grande valley was desert land,
growing only cactus and the mes
quite shrub or tree. Now, all this
land up the Rio Grande for a
hundred miles or more has been
reclaimed from the desert and is
today one of the greatest garden
spots in the world.
Early in its start as a citrus
fruit territory, a pink grapefruit
was discovered here and by in
tensive experimentation and cult
vation was developed the seedless
pink grapefruit. The wholesale
price of the ordinary white grape,
fruit which is generally grown il
Florida is $40 a ton while the
pink grapefruit is today quoted
in the same markets at $40 ton
Huge plants for the compression
of citrus juices have been erected
in Brownsville and big busines!
in this line is being developed. II
addition, all kinds of vegetable
are grown here the year rounC
and shipped north in refrigerato
cars.
At one time the Rio Grand
river was a fairly impressive rive
and steamships could come a
! far as Brownsville and New Mat
amoros, across the river Toda,
the river here is about as i'm
pressive as Mill Creek in Marys
vile. The Rio Grande always los

into the dry ground and latel
both Mexico and the Unite
States have taken the most of tn
water which flows into this lon
} river for irrigation purposes, S
there is not much water left b
the time it reaches the gulf.
A huge canal has been dredge
nearly to Brownsville, and ocea
steamers from many of the count
ries of the world now call at tn
port of Brownsville. This cana
must have cost many millions q
, dollars.

17-Hour Day

Dave spent 40 days helping har-
vest and thresh his own and neigh
boris grain this summer, under a
neighborhood cooperative help
agreement. During this time the 4
till 9 schedule was really rough,
with an extra heavy load on both
Dave and Fannie. Since harvest,
Dave has plowed so acres and ham
mered one stack of hay, which meant
he was still working at a good pace
with the dairy operation to handle
in addition.
Just how much work the young
couple have put into the farm is
indicated by the fact that they have
denied themselves any form of
recreation. Trips to town are usually
not made over once a month and
then aren't easy with three small
children in a pickup truck.
But Dave and Fannie don't like to
be in debt, and they know plenty of
hard work is the only way out.
And what about the future?
"Well." said Dave, 'when we bought
the place everyone advised us to
wait until land prices 1eveled off a
little, but since that time things
have gone up a lot more. Everyone
kept thinking farm prices would
drop in a few years, but now it looks
as though there will be at least a
few more good farm years. With
these few more probably good years,
l can really get on my feet and get
all but the basic debt on the place
cleared up. Then when things do
drop, the dairy business is still a
living whether times are good or
bad. And under the FILA variable
payment plan, when my income goes
down, SC will the payments on the
place"

Check Fertilizer Needs
Now, Expert Advises

DON'T MISS A BET-even if it is
fertilizer for your soil. w. A. Willis,
economist of the Wyoming agricul-
tural extension service, urges farm
ers to order the kind or kinds Of
commercial fertilizer they will need
for the type of land they have.
"Don't depend on your dealer to
anticipate your needs and wants."
he said.
Because many operators do not
know the kinds of fertilizer they
need, county agricultural agents,
soil conservation supervisors and
reclamation personnel will supply
information On farm fertilizer tests
and demonstrations that have been
run in practically every area in
Wyoming. Extension meetings on
o and soils is another source of
information.
Farmers should then start taking
soil samples on the farm-incIuding
samples of every soil type and on
every 20 to 40 acres. This type of
factual data properly used in man
agement of soils will mean increased
yields without comparable increase
in costs. Correspondingly, there will
be an increase in net income-an in
crease that is at faster rate than
the increase of the gross income.
Orders should be placed as soon
as possible SO that dealers can fill
them when they're needed. Improv-
ing soil fertility cannot be stressed
enough, Willis adds, since it will add
to the net income that makes pos
sible improved standards of living,
better homes, more conveniences,
education and recreation.
