[VALLEY
BY* HE Lowe^^tio (Irande Valley
B^ approximately ^75 miles from th'>
Bistrict in Texas where foot and mouth
Bisease has been (fieroven d.
B That is almost as far from the in-
Bected district as portions of Oklahoma
Bf Ark^^aas and most of Louisiana.
f Thurwforc it would seem highly un-
just that a section so far from the sea'
of infection should be so thoroughly
quarantined against.
But that is neith* r here nor there.
The fact remains that there is some
sort of quarantine against all of Texas
by* mqrt of the states of the union and
the e'#n ounccment that ten states have
let down Ahe bars to the point wh‘ r°
they will permit the entry of properly
kaertified shipments from this section
|Bl received with a great deal of satis-
Hction.
W These states include Kentucky t 'olo-
p»do. Tennessee. Maryland. Virginia
^Pennsylvania New York Florida Min
nesota and Arkansas.

Almost every quarantining state has
it* own ideas about h w vegetable*
* must be parked before entry is per-
mitted. Mississippi for instance re-
q|Hii parking in new containers and
inlrw clean paper new shavings new

relations reads as fellows:
‘Fresh fruits vegetables and similar
praiucts of the soil may be shipped

cial federal or state certificate show

There i rohably no reason why
most cf e regulation outlined by
these * .« cannot be met and with
vt rrffb i ns by the Inspectors repre
sea’ ■ ae I'nited States Department
of ulture already in the field the
situ.’ n appears to have brightened
greatly. Valiev shippers almost in-
variably use new containers and new
packing.
Doubtless other slates will lie in-
eluded from time to time in the list
permitting entry of properly certified
packages from the Valley and by th°
time vegetables an I fiuits begin to
move into states < utside of Texas n<>
■»rious difficulty in reaching our more
distant market'- should tie encountered.
In the meantime T* xas if-c|f is prob
ably using most of the tuff being
shipped out of the Valley.
We may consider out -e|vc fertunate
In at least one respect in thi- foot
and mouth disea e hiisine-s. Much wa 1
Darned about quarantines a a result
of the California infection early last j
spring and many modifications have
been made. Also we are foitunate that
the disease was disc' vrred well h> fore
our shipping season opened and now
seems to be well in hand.

What Brownsville People Think of Buying Park
The hHi'f that Inn I on Kliznheth
s'reet. or on the highway anil very
near the sity wo>i!il be a better loca-
tion for a park for Hrownsville than
the proposed site east of J* fferson
street and north of the railway track
across Kiizahe'h street was expressed
this morning by several persons in
connection with the proopsal to buy a
park for the city. Opinions on the
i|ii»stion are;
John K. Hot ledge—“In my opinion
the land between Jefferson street and
Klir.a belli street north of the high
school and south of the highway would
I " ■ *:■
be the best possible location for a
park. This land can be seen front the
highway and is near the city. A park
placed away from a main traveled
highway would l>« frequented only if
it were highly improved and developed
and I dn not believe the city can de-
velop a large tract now.
••The site has some low land in it.
* blit it copld be levelled easily by
dragging dirt from the hill east of tbe
low |»licf.j Such a park would not
only be a benefit to the city from the
viewpoint <W pleasure for ltd residents
but would fie * find acini did in that
it would tend to bring more people
her*. 1 am infavor of any reasonable
project however if the city ran afford
to devrlop if.~
I>r. \V. K. Spivej “I believe that a
|*ark. in rase the city buys one should
be locat'd where it can be seen from
the main street of Brownsville. One of
the purposes of a park is to serve as
an attraction to the tourist a. and in
order to do this best the park should
b< in such a location that it ran be
aeen from the road into the city.
“While I am in favor of Browns-
ville’s buy in* a park. I am opposed to
the sale of Washington park l'arks
1 1 »
are needed in the city. ns w«ll ns on
the outskirts and if developed Wash-
ington park could be made an attrac-
tive location.**
L. B. \\ imins—‘‘The city of Browns-
ville will save mon<y l».v buying a park
at the present time. It is natural that
the price of land will g'o up with the
increase in population. In purehusing
a park site now. Brownsville will be
preparing for} inmased population in
two respects; buying land before it
gue* up in price and getting a park
before the imputation increases to
Ritfh an extent that all large tract* I
arAcut up.** j
