The Lower Rio Grande
Valley of the ' Gulf Coast
Country, the location of the
Rich La Lomita Lands, at
MISSION
Hidalgo county, is called
the Gold Fields of Texas
because of its enormous
wealth - producing powers
If tho Lower Itlo Grando Valloy
woro underlaid with tho richest
gold, It 1h doubtful If It would bo
como a center noted for Its wealth
creator than It will assumo as a
truck and sugar cane producing
country.
To a person unacquainted with
tho possibilities of tho Valloy, Its
resources are astonishing. It has
proven by ncdinl rcNiiItM to bo a
vorltablo gold mlno, and each year
sees its products adding millions
to tho vast wealth pouring Into It
from shipments of vegetables, cot
ton and sugar cane, going north by
tho tralnload.
No year has shown tho advan
tages which tho La Lomita Lands
at Mission, In tho Lower Rio Grando
Valloy, possosb over all othor parts
of America so much as tho year
1909 and tho beginning of tho pres
ent year.
tnWi,r,.CIibonSi0 Bol,,n ,n th ?old at $38 per ton and tho average yield
10, 1G and 20 tons por acre, it Is easy to seo why tho Lowor Rio Grande
Valloy has boon appropriately called tho Gold Fields of Texas.
