500,000 Boxes Valley
Fruit To Be Shipped
To England In 1929
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO, March 27.—Approximately 500,000 boxes of Lower Rio
Grande Valley grapefruit will cross the ocean next season, to supply the
markets of the United Kingdom and other foreign countries, according
to estimates of M. A. Vidal of the Texas Trading company.
Of this total Mr. Vidal has already signed contracts for moving close
to 100.000 boxes of Valley fruit to*-—
England, and he may increase his
orders later in the season, he said.
The estimate of the total is based
on the rapid increase in shipments
of Valley grapefruit across the
ocean, especially during the past
season, when Mr. Vidal moved sev
eral carloads of fruit to England.
“There has been a remarkable in
crease in consumption of grapefruit
in England and Europe in the past
year or two,” Mr. Vidal said. “There
also has been a marked tendency to
ward Valley grapefruit, and I have
received comments on the. fruit
which we moved to England from
scores of person! who handled and
purchased It.
Figures Shown
“With better boating and icing
facilities we expect to move citrus
fruit across the ocean in large quan
tities next season, and to increase
from year to year.”
Mr. Vidal said he has signed a
contract for the delivery of 14.000
boxes of grapefruit monthly through
out the Valley's shipping season in
1929-30. He may increase the or
ders, he said.
Mr. Vidal showed some figures on
importations of grapefruit to Eng
land taken from a report of Pro
fessor H. Clark Powell, and appear
ing in the West India Committee
Circular.
These figures show that the im
portations of citrus into the United
Kingdom increased from 34,318
boxes in 1921. to 606.468 boxes in
1927. Of the latter total. 501.314
boxes same from the United States,
most of this being shipped from
Florida.
Cost Less
The same article showed estimates
of cost of producing citrus in British
Honduras and moving it to England,
the cost being approximately $3.12
a box. Mr. Vidal expresses the be
lief that the Valley can produce
fruit and get it to Encland at less
exnense than British Honduras, and
said the fruit is better.
The article also contained figures
on acreages in the states of Texas
which are producing fruit, showing
that of California’s 11.118 acres.
49.2 per cent is non bearing; Ari
zona.has 2.920 acres, of which 57.2
per cent is non bearing; Florida has
80,037 acres, of which 24.3 per cent
is non bearing; and Texas has more
than 50.000 acres, of which 96 per
cent is non bearing.
“These figures show that only four
per cent of the citrus trees in the
Valley are ber.ring. and that a tre
mendous increase in production
may be expected within a very short
time,” Mr. Vidal said. '
Ship Point Isabel
Mr. Vidal said that this company,
which has offices at Houston and
here, has handled fruit through
Houston this year, but that the plan
is to move fruit next season through
Point Isabel, in case arangements
can be completed to get boats in to
the landing.
For a time this season efforts were
being made to load a boat of citrus
at Point Isabel, but the rough
weather at the time prevented it.
With improved facilities for
handling the fruit, especially with
the icing facilities, the Valley will
start moving citrus across the ocean
in larger quantities than residents of
this section dream at the present
time., Mr. Vidal said.

Seaman Drowned Identified
By Consul As 'Citizen
Of France
WASHINGTON, March 28.—</P}—
France, as well as Great Britain,
and Canada, is now interested in
the sinking of the Canadian schoon
er I’m Alone by an American pa
trol boat in the gulf of Mexico.
This complication has been added
to the case by a report from the
French consul at New Orleans that
the seaman drowned when the al
leged rum runner went down was
a French citizen. He had been de
scribed previously as a naturalized
British subject.
The French embassy immediate
ly cabled this information to the
foreign office at Paris, and is ex
pected to await instructions before
taking up the matter formally with
the state department.
Unlike the British and Canadian
diplomatic representatives, who are
concerned with the broad principles
involved in the sinking of the ves
sel and interpretations of the 1924
rum smuggling treaty, the French
embassy’s interest has to do chiefly
with the death of one of its na
tion’s citizens.
The French consul, however, may
be called upon by the state depart
ment and the Canadian legation to
contribute such information as he
may have about the distance of the
I’m Alone from the Louisiana coast
when first summoned to heave to
for boarding and examination by
the coast guard patrol boat Wol
cott.
U. S. CONSUL ASKS
POLICE PROTECTION
BELIZE, British Honduras. March
28.—(/P)—Special protection was giv
en today to G. Russell Taggart.
United States consul as a conse
quence of high feeling over the sink
ing of the British vessel I’m Alone
last Friday by an American coast
guard boat. Two Belize men were
members of the crew of the ill-fat
ed rum ship and in some quarters
there has been considerable anti
American agitation since the shell
ing of the vessel. Taggart appealed
to the police when it appeared some
of this feeling might be directed
against himself. The authorities
promise devery precaution to pre
vent an attack on the consulate.
