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
ards to a San Antonio Express reporter,
said:
"I am pleased with the showing that
my lemon and grape orchards have made
Come in and sign a contract, put up ten
per cent of the purchase price, and be in
the "push" when the boom comes. Do
not let this opportunity pass unheeded.

since the time of planting not quite four
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 Bection 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 crop
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^^ll^l||
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 cannoti
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 crop.
|*^ThAT is land actually worth that will produce like this? If the half that is said about this wonderful country is true these
\l lands would be cheap at $500 per acre. Is that not so? Audubon county lands that are selling at $125 and up will not
produce the half of this in dollars and cents. Does this mean nothing to you that are crazy about South Dakota lands
that are not one-fourth as fruitful? Does this mean nothing to you who have money to invest and are paying 1^% taxes
and loaning it at 6%? What are you afraid of, that this is all buncombe, then go and investigate, it will pay you to do it. 1 will
pay the railroad fare and all necessary expenses to anyone who investigates and finds that all these clippings are not telling the
truth, or less than the truth. Can anything be more fair between man and man?
The great movement of new settlers are going south (forty car loads of settlers and prospectors arrived in San Antonio last week) will in
crease the land values of this great Valley to more than double within the next year if not sooner. Then why delay? This $50 per acre land we'*,1'
are now offering will not last long, not over a month longer if that. See the agent at once and secure a piece, if no more than ten acres, and be
independent for life should you lose what little you have here. We will guarantee the land tillable or refund your money, you will lose nothing
and stand to gain a competence.

Of course this is extraordinary, yet it
demonstrates what can be done growing
pepper in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
By War of Illustration
L. H. Romig, a prominent resident of
Mission, while over in San Antonio last
week, in the course of conversation re
garding agricultural matters in our sec
tion of the Valley, stated to an Express
reporter, by way of illustration, that a
farmer named John Wagner, who landed
in the Valley from South Dakota, on
March 13, had made a wonderful record
in farming this year. He rented a tract
of thirty-five acres from Jones & Eangli
and commenced farming at once, finish

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 has planted Cal
fornia pink beans which will mature iji
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.
