BREAK RECORD — Total of 255 Cars Loaded In Valley Thursday; 119 Of Cabbage A new record for the season was established Thursday when the Mis souri Pacific and Southern Pacific reported 25o cars loaded to move out of the Valley Thursday night or Friday morning. The previous high record was established Tues day with 240 cars. The price of cabbage went to $15 per ton throughout the Valley Thursday, and was holding at that figure Friday, despite heavy load ings. The movement Thursday front the Valley was 119 cars, and Wednesday's movement 107. At sev eral points Thursday prices as high as $17 were being paid. Improvement in the cabbage sit uation is partly due to the re-sur vey by the federal department of agriculture, which reduced the earl ier estimate 20 to 30 per cent. The big markets are still well stocked, shippers state, and the bulk of the cabbage is moving into smaller markets, where a fair demand has been developed. Beets and carrots continue to hold at very profitable prices to growers, and the movement has broken all records for this section. Loadings Thursday included 53 cars mixed vegetables, 13 beets, 23 carrots, 24 beets and carrots, 119 cabbage, 1 lettuce, 2 parsley, 1 anise, 1 broccoli, 3 mixed citrus, 10 Circular Letters Bring Sure Results Direct mail has the greatest appeal.

These brought the Val ley’s total to 10,310 cars as compar ed with 10,299 to the corresponding date last year. Despite heavy loadings shippers today were taking a more optimistic view of the situation, especially as to the cabbage market. A total of 210 cars of cabbage were loaded in the United States Thursday. The stored stocks have disappeared, it was stated. The new estimate by the federal department, which is believed very accurate, will tend to strengthen the market all along the line, it was said.

They intend to leave prob ably next week on the return trip home. Mrs. Selter expressed apprecia tion for the wonderful climate found here, the sunshine, and all the things which go to make the city attractive. Mrs. Selter recently wrote a let ter to the Antioch News, in which she gave a minute description of the many advantages of living in the Valley. The letter follows: “Lovely sunshine greeted us when we arrived in Brownsville six weeks ago. The warm weather and the happy expressions on the faces of the Southerners impressed us at once. Brownsville is one of the clenest cities we have ever visited. It has a population ‘of 25.000. Streets for miles around are paved and cared for by sprinkling and sweeping. One can plainly see in the past three years great progress has been gained—many buildings including hotels, stores, schools, churches, banks and both the M. P. and S. P. railroad stations as well as many private homes. The International bridge, called the “Gateway” span ning the Rio Grande is the only river in America, dry on one side and wet on the other, where Uncle Sam, or the U. S.. meets Mexico. Average is 35,595 Brownsville with its tropical cli mate is fast claiming the distinc tion of being one of the play grounds for winter tourists. We are told the climate of the sum mer months gets rather hot, up to about 10 a. m. each day, when a cool Gulf breeze blows in, making it delightful. There are many places cf amusement. Included are the golf course, and its club house. Fort Brown, which is adjacent to Brownsville and the airport, only five miles away, and there are big meter buses running to all points. Over the “Gateway” into Mexico a toll of five cents is asked both ways, walking or driving, and for one week the average was 35,595 persons.. To go to the citv of Matamoros, Mexico, we pay 19 cents, as it is too far to walk. This city is typi cally Mexican. The old church i with two tall spires is abandoned : as a place for services yet doors : are open to the worshippers or j sight seers. There are many curio shop, open air gardens, the market and manv other quaint old things to see. Here we have both sides. Through the kindness of our land i lord we had a delightful auto trio i of 45 mi’ps to Mercedes and his ; ranch. This ranch is stocked with many hogs and some land is under I cultivation. From herp we went to ! a grapefruit grove. We purchased i some fruit there and never have eaten any better. Wc also learned , his fruit has been awarded blue i ribbons. On February 13 we had j another trip throuh citrus groves and newlv developed land. On most of the young groves, vege tables, such as lettuce, onions, beets, turnips, cabbage and carrots are grown between the rows and reap quite a harvest .efore the trees bear fruit, which means three or four years. Colorful Sight What seemed strange to us was | how' the growers irrigate and drain I land. It is all for some purpose. ; Some irrigation ditches are concrete and those that are not will be in time. Producers are now getting in their cotton seed and that is raised t extensively and profitably. The ! most colorful sight one wishes to see is looking over vast acres of beautiful green, then farther on so yellow and this is carrot digging. Many Mexicans doing this work tying them into bunches. There are : many acres in cabbage, beets, let tuce and all sorts of vegetables, being shipped and coming into market. As for tlic flowery scen ery of this city and Valley we can say it is lovely. We have seen roses ever since wc came here and now there arc nasturtiums, sweet peas, violets. larkspur, verbenas and marigolds. All are blooming and the fields are rich and covered with wild flowers. The Spanish dagger is a sort of palm species and has a wonderful large blos soms. We went to the airport one afternoon and enjoyed it. While we did not fly. we were invited in the big Ford plane. We hope to go there on the ninth of March as we are told Colonel Lindbergh will bn there to fly the first mail plane over the border. We always meet real friends no matter where we are, and it as our good fortune to make the acquaintance of a man and his wife who live here, so we have had lovely trips with them. One Sunday we drove to Point Isa bel, on the Gulf of Mexico. Lovely roads all the way and we found this place very interesting. From the old light house with its wind ing stars, one can go up and view the city. The house where the late President Harding lived for two weeks while on a fishing trip is here. Some of the Antioch people sur prised us while here with a land seekers’ excursion. Their time was short and taken up. but we surely did appreciate seeing them. The climate here is glorious, one really never suffers with heat as the Gulf breeze blow’s in. One almost forgets what snow looks like and what cold is. We have attended O. E. S. lodge, and all visitors are made very welcome. We get to Fort Brown often, watch the soldiers drill, see the polo games and enjoy the band. We are al ways glad to receive our Antioch paper, ana keep in touch with home news. We exDect to arrive in An tioch in April.” The Selters also were highly ap preciative of the courtesy shown them by all citizens and declared that it was with genuine regret that they faced the prospect of leaving Brownsville. Railroad Officials See Prosperous Year For Valley Section The prediction that 1S29 would prove one of the most prosperous years in Valley history was made by Missouri Pacific officials who arrived in Brownsville Thursday and are touring the Valley today. The party included Horace Booth, general traffic manager and VV. G. Choate, general manager of the Missouri Pacific lines in Texas and Louisiana. They were accom panied by A. B. Waldren. executive general agent for the Valley with headquarters at Harlingen. The officials are marking a thorough survey of conditions with reference to traffic and tonnage, and state that provisions had been made to assure prompt movement of commodities regardless of the volume of tonnage the lines will be called upon to handle.
