Our Agricultural Commission in Texas
Chicago Italian Chamber of Commerce, March 1929
President Foniatti of the Agricultural Commission and the Messrs. Pecci De Nictolis and E. Fiori, at the invitation of the Robert S. Larimer Co., Brownsville, Texas, made a tour of investigation with the idea of establishing an Italian Agricultural Colony.
The same Commission at the last session of the Executive Council presented a report giving in detail facts, particulars, and the opportunities afford by that region.
It is impossible to publish this report in its entirety, because it covers and discusses every angle of the situation at great length; but we note with pleasure that the conclusions reached are very promising.
2Anyone interested in the proposition may consult the Secretary of the Chamber.
R. S. Larimer, the owner of this vast tract of land, was guest of honor at the dinner given at La Rosetta Restaurant. The Italian Consul, Dr. Castruccio, and many members of the Chamber were present to hear a reading of the report. Attorney Rosinia, who is well acquainted with that region, gave his views in a short talk. Other speakers talked in favor of the idea of Italian colonization.
