FARM INDUSTRY
Development of small, localized
industries, based on the agricultur- j
al production of a section, pre-j
senft real opportunity in South!

tion to the east, we are not restrict-
ed to the local markets for dispo-
sition of product. There Is an ex-
ample. in the several cheese plants
opened in recent years, of what
may he done in this line. The '
plants, broadftaing the outlet fori
niilk.Tnake cheese for consumption 1
not only in South Texas hut also
for shipment to more distant'mar-
kets.
The field for development is
wide open. This is the greatest
cotton production district in the j
nation hut we have only one small
cotton mill. We- produce winter
vegetables for much of the nation
but have no commercial canneries.
Thousands of tons of peanuts art-
grown in South Texas which, how-
ever, has not one processing plant.
Many thousands of head of fine
beef cattle graze on South Texas
ranges but only a few are finished
and slaughtered here and they are
for home markets only. This hut
indicates, the open field which ex-
ists.

Miss Congo, the smallest gorilla ever
j and one of three lady gorillas in the whole country—there are seven
gentleman gorillas scattered around in zoos—is taken for a ride by her
j trainer, Sam Parratt, at the Brookfield zoo, in Chicago. Miss Congo
was the last of her kind to fall into the hands of man before the recent
international treaty forbidding the export of gorillas from Africa went
into effect.
LARGER MARKETS
Our present farm production fur-
nishes the material for a diverse
industry based on agriculture and
much of which has not been touch-
ed in this section. Development of
such industry in turn will stimulate
farm production, providing a big-
ger market for the products of the
soil of South Texas.
It frenquently has been pointed
out that South Texas has the ad-
vantages which could make it a
leading poultry production center
of the world. As it is. production
with the exception of our turkey
crop and for home consumption is
restricted to the Gonzales county
area where there has been notable
progress in chicken raising with
products being marketed outside of
the state. A limited home market
holds Imck the development of a
poultry raising industry. Provis-
ion of packing and shipping facili-
ties to enable South 11 xu chick-
ens and eggs to he marketed prof-
itably in the larger consumption
centers would result in develop
ment of the poultry industry here.
It is possible because of water
transportation facilities.
IDEA IS SOUND
Successful operation of t h e
Siuthern \lkali Corporation chem-
ical plant at Corpus Christi, up-
setting more than one industrial
tradition, has proved that manu-
facturing plants may lie located*
near the source of raw materials,
when water transportation is avail-
able. rather than near the market
for the finished product. It should
work equally well in the matter of
industrial utilization of the pro-
ducts of the farm.
BUILDING ACTIVITY
The sound of the saw and the
hammer is heard in the land and
the din shows no signs of decreas-
ing. New building activity contin-
ues at accelerated pace throughout

more than “a way to make farm-

stock and poultry which produce
the best balance of cash in a ser-

is a more comprehensive plan than
diversified farming as the ’after has

the soil and to bring in continuous

daily, according to W A Scrivner,
vice-president of the company.

The Universal Car
ONE NAME comes quickly to mind
when you think of “The ly’niveraal-
Car.” The description is distinctively
Ford. No other car is used by so
many millions of men and women in
every part of the world. Everywhere
it is the symbol of faithful service.
That has always been a Ford funda-
mental. Something new is constantly
being added in the way of extra value.
Each year the Ford has widened its
appeal by increasing its usefulness
to motorists.
Today’s Ford V«8 is more than ever
^The Universal Gar” because it en-
circles the needs of inbre people titan
any other Ford ever built. It reaches
out and up into now fields because it
has everything yoti need in a modern
-automobile.
The Ford V-8 combines fine-car
performance, comfort, safety and
beauty with low first cost and low cost
of operation and up-keep. It depre-
ciates slow ly because it is made to last.
There is no other car like it.
