Rio Grande Valley's Growth Praised In Local Year Book
A 1946 year book of the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas is praised as a pictorial testament to regional agricultural and horticultural expansion. The Krugers of McAllen, Texas, sponsor the volume, noting vast growth from brush and cactus to fruit and field crops driven by favorable climate and soil. The piece contrasts valley residents with Iowans, highlighting pride in oranges, grapefruit, cabbage, onions, and tomatoes and recounts local booster sentiment.
