(Special to The Herald)
I HARLINGEN. Aug. 7—The Lower
Rio Grande Valley Is preparing now
fa,t a record homeseeker traffic dur
»]■; the coming winter season, and
wff.'road officials declare thev ex

During the nresent summer there
has been a steady, although com
Iparativelv light, movement every
week. This week there are about
150 homeseekers in the Valley.
The increase in number of home
seekers is attributed to the fact

past, when only three or four htiae
tracts were usually under develop
ment at one time.
There are Hawns of tracts of from

NEGRO TRACT
IS UNCERTAIN
Development of Proposed
Valley Subdivision Is
Met By Disasters
(Special to The Herald)
WESLACO. Aug. 7.—Just how
long the developers of a proposed
negro subdivision near here will
continue building bridges to the
property, only to have them blown
up and burned down is a question
which Weslaco people are discuss
ing at the present time.
W. M Miller and If. B Stewart
conceived the n!a:i of a negro sub
division north of the city.
The subdivision was. and appar
ently still is. to be developed in con
junction with a proposed negro col
lege. site for which was left in the
center of the tract, and a negro pas
tor has announced opening meetings
August 12 to dedicate the collage
and break ground.
The subdivision is scheduled to be
opened then also.
But it must be connected with
other streets by a bridge, crossing
a drainage ditch, and so far nc
bridge has lasted longer than twe
days.
The first bridge was built and in
sured. and the first night it was
t/.own up with gasoline.
Another bridge was built in its
nlare, and it has also been burned
to the ground.
The owners of the subdivision
were threatened w-ith court action
early in the game, but won in court
when an iniunction to prevent the
negro subdivision was rrfused.

LEGISLATION '
AIDS GROWERS
California Standardization
Act Authorizes Impor
tant Changes
LOS ANGELES. Aug. Several
changes of importance to Southern
California growers were made at
the past session of the legislature
in the California fruit and vegeta
ble standardization act. according to
Paul K. Wilson, deputy commis
sioner in charge of fruit and vege
table standardization.
Avocadoes: As amended, the law
provides that containers of un
packed avocadoes must now be
marked with the name and address
of the grower or packer. Among
new defects specified are fruits seri
ously damaged by freezing, sunburn,
rancid and overripe fruit.
Oranges: A change for strength
ening the maturity standards on
oranges was the insertion ot the
clause that oranges which are sub
stantially or at least 70 per ccm
colored at the time of picking shall
be deemed mature if the juice con
j tains soluble solids equal to or in
excess of 6 1-2 parts to every parr
of acid contained in tne juice.”
Other maturity standards for or
anges remain the same.
Cauliflower: A standard has been
provided for cauliflower in contain
ers and crates must be marked with
the number of heads.
Lettuce: The irregular pack has
been eliminated on lettuce and a
variation of not more than three
heads from the count as marked 1:
permitted in 10 per cent of the
J crates in any lot. Provision has
! been made for packs of two dozen
and two and a half dozen in addi
tion to the packs already provided
for. The amount of Ice in a crate Ir
no longer limited. The provisions on
mislabeling have been strengthen
ed to include not only false or mis
leading statements on outside of the
package, but are prohibited on
1 wrappers, linings and placards
Markings are required to be on the
: main portion of the container and
1 not on cleats and other moveable
1 i portions. Several new rtandard
, containers have been added to those
; already defined.
None of the above amendments to
the California fruit ant! vegetable
. j standardization act of 1927 will be
come effective until August 14 of
