Harlingen, Tex., Feb
To the Plattsmouth Journal:
Thinking that there might be some
of my friends who would like to hear
from this land of sunshine and sum
mer, I will try and give you a few
of the wonders of this land of fruits
and vegetables. In the first place,
will say that I left Omaha on Jan
uary 2th and it was snowing and
blowing and looked as though there
might be a blizzard coming and 47
hours later I got off of the train at
Harlingen. I found the weather
warm, with the trees all green, roses
blooming in the yards, and I also saw
my first oranges, lemons and grape
fruit growing in the orchards, which
to me is a most wonderful sight
and there are many orchards of this
kind all up and down the vallev
!Also have seen corn from 8 to 10
inches high, cotton coming up, pota
toes that will be ready for market
by the 1st of April, while the last
crop of potatoes had been dug around
. nrisimas. And what seems more
strange to me is that they plow and
plant just when they feel like it, al
most all the year round
It is estimated by the railroad com
pany that there is 100 cars of fruits
and vegetables shipped out of the
valley every day. Most every farm
er has from 5 to 20 acres of cabbage
and they are now cutting and de
livering to the shippers at $6.00 per
ton and they get from six to ten tons
per acre. So you see the difference
in the price here and what you pay
for it up there. There are plenty of
carrots, beets and some green beans
being shipped out. There are not
very many ripe tomatoes on the mar
ket. but plenty of home grown straw
berries at 25 cents per box

This county is making great prep
arations for good roads. They have
just voted a 16,000.000 bond issue
for the paving of roads in this coun
ty. There are already 150 miles of
paved road, which they call the Main
street of the valley. v-
Harlingen is a town of about 7.000
population and "is growing rapidly,
as there have been building permits
issued so far thut year to the amount
of $24,000. and there are eleven big
business houes and some 75 homes
under construction for which permits
were issued in 1926. Tots are very
high, running from $500 to $1,500
in the Rio district. Rents are high
and no houses to rent.
The M. P. railroad is building a
round house and engine repair shop
and a large express office, and the
Southern Pacific have just about got
their road completed to this city.
Thev have bought a tract in the resi
dence district in the north part or
town and are now moving the houses
off to make room for their depots
and side tracks. So it begins to look
as though this town is to become
leading city of the valley.

The avalanche of approval for the
