In actual production means anything,
the Lower Rio Grande Valley is destin
ed to become a heavy producer of lem
ons. This fact has been demonstrated
on the W. K. Mendenhall farm two miles
east of Brownsville. On this place is
something less than one-third of an acre
of Villa Franca lemons which were set
out four years ago. The trees are now
beginning to bear, and it is estimated
that something like eight boxes will be
taken from the orchard this season.
Mr. Mendenhall, talking of his orch

said:

Wedding Bells
At the pleasant home of John
Zaiger and wife, wealthy farmers of
Cameron township, occured the mar
riage of their daughter, Miss Lena
to Peter Ehlers on Wednesday last.
A very large number of friends were
present to witness the happy event.
She was born and raised to woman
hood in Cameron township and is
considered one of that township's
most excellent young women and
sturdy daughters. Uer virtues are
many, her weaknesses few. She will
make a most lovable wife.
The groom is one of the ambitious
young men of the county, honorable
and honest in his dealings, and res
pected by all who know him. The
Journal bespeaks for these young
people a pleasant life full of happy
events.

years ago. I have never seen a more
rapid and healthful growth. This con
vinces me that these two fruits are es
pecially adapted to this section of the
country, and I expect to increase the
acreage this fall with many varieties.
The lemon trees are now beginning to
bear, and while I will get about eight
boxes, I am of the opinion the next crqp
will be quite heavy. The box of lemons
1 placed on display in town is recognized
the equal to any ever brought to the
city. They are smooth and of a medium
size, good packers and will keep well. I
have twenty-five acres in my place and
hope to have it all set out to fruit, prin
cipally to lemons and grape fruit. I will
have many other varieties of fruit, but I
will give more attention to these two.

^Read these clippings, then ask yourself if this is not a good place to invest a few dollars while land is cheap
and benefit in the raise which is bound to come. For the reason that land hungry people throughout the en-,
tire Northern and Eastern States are beginning to find out what a grand country we have—where two and
three crops are raised on the same land every twelve months—the present low prices of our fertile soil cannot,
be maintained much longer. Where the land is cleared, properly cultivated and irrigated, the profits from one
crop are frequently sufficient to pay the original cost of land, improvements and all expenses of planting
growing and harvesting the crcp.
£/ThAT is land actually worth that will produce like this? If the half that is said about this wonderful country is true these

that are not one-fourth as fruitful? Does this mean nothing to you who have money to invest and are paying 1&96 taxes

PRETTY FERN DISH
TABLE
Plants That Are Inexpensive and
Require Little Care Are the Best
—To Keep Them Always.
In Healthy Condition.
The increasing interest in home dec
oration by living plants is. well shown
if the present popularity of ferns in
'fern dishes. People are learning to
'appreciate more fully the beauty of
the small ferns used for tbis purpose
and are recognizing their value as
units of decoration. While the ferns
.are not so striking in appearance as
,many of the flowering plants they
have certain advantages which the lat
ter lack. The ferns thrive away from
direct sunlight they have so small a
root development that several plants
can be crowded into a small, shallow
dish they have an unexcelled variety
ot beauty in foliage forma and show
lovely and satisfying tones of green,
.They are inexpensive and require very
little care.
Among the sorts with coarser leaf
age the well known holly fern is one
'Of the best for fern dishes, provided
lamall plants are chosen. The green
ot the young leaves of this variety is
much fresher and more attractive than
•that of older leaves and the roots ol
young plants are not too large to go in
the dish. Consequently young plants
must be chosen for transplanting
rather than one or two older ones.
When they outgrow the dish they
imust be replaced by others.
Some of the best ferns for shallow
dishes belong to the genu3 peterls, a
large group in which very diverse
'forms are found. The while-lined
|pterls is a very attractive sort with
narrow leafage which Is green ana
(white. The closely related magnifies
variety is somewhat similar, the slen
der stems and spreading leaves giving
a fine effect when massed in a low
tfern dish.
The variety of pteris known as Wil
son's fern is certainly one of the very
Ibest sorts for use in fern dishes. II

followed by thirty six more, making a
total of thirty-seven bales on thirty-five
acres. These bales averaged 500 pounds
each and were sold for an average price
of 13 cents a pound, totaling $2,405. Out
of this cotton came eighteen and one
half tons of cotton seed, which he sold
at $21 per ton, or a total of $388.50, mak
ing a total of $2,793.50, The entire cost
of production, seed, three irrigations, six,
cultivations, picking and ginning, was
$485.24. This left a net profit for the
thirty-five acres of *2,308.50. On this,
same land Mr. Wagner had planted Cal
fornia pink beans which will mature in,
time to be harvested and marketed by
December 1, in ample time to plant a
spring truck crop. This method of ro
tating makes possible three crops in 12
months from the same land. Several
other farmers in the Valley have done
nearly as well this year as Mr. Wagner.
Who would-wish to do better?

Perhaps the commonest cause o]
failure in.keeping the plants in fern
dishes in a healthy condition is that
of allowing water to stand below the
inset in the dish so that the bottom
of the soil is always soaked. A good
way to avoid tbis is to take the inset
,out and water thoroughly when need
led, and then put it back in the recep
tacle.
