What the Great Commoner —W. J. Bryan—thinks of Lower Valley of Rio Grande,

T N a speech made by W. J. Bryan in the* locality of Pharr, Texas, he said: “This land is much better than I had expected to see and l am greatly astonished at the wonderful development that has been made here in a short length of time. “You have an ideal country here, a climate that cannot be surpassed. Besides having the natural advantages that God has given you, you have the advantages that very few countries can boast of, ana mat is irrigation. ..... * These three (the land in its natural state, the water, and Mexican labor) intelligently combined, will create land values that will surpass even the present prices of So. California.’’ Mr. Bryan at present owns 200 acres, has erected a beautiful bungalow, and is contemplating the erection of a $50,000 southern home. Why Exist in the North, when, on a small investment, you can Live independently in Texas?
