2 And that brings me back TO the
matter Of urging the cooperation Of
! our housewives in the establishment Of
q better market for the farming prod
] There is no limit to the influence our
good women might WELD in this direc-
ton If once they would get il into their
minds TO make ii a point TO ask for
valley prOducts-valley hams. valley
vegetables, valley butter, valley fruits.
J And there is another thing L want to
{ say right here
You drop off the train at any little
/ station in California, and you'll find the
I bill Of fare on the local lunch counter
/ fairly bristling with the local products.
! II your stop is made al Marysville,
! you'll be offered Marysville oranges.
T Marysville grape fruit larysville vans.
NarysVille hams, Marysville. Marys-
Z vile, Marysville, till you can't rest
They raise good stuff, and they don't
mean for minute to let you forget the
fact
Ell Paso stuff Neglected.
Now take IL here in FL PasO. Did you
ever see on the bill Of fare in an FL
! Paso cafe the mention Of such an ar
ticle as an FL Paso pearl And yet We
grow the finest Bartlett pears on the
face Of the earthi Nowhere in America
do they raise better onions than in our
valleys; but you never see them men
toned on our menu cards Our cafe
Z folks ought TO be prodded good and
hard about this. It's one big thing that
they could do for the vaLeyS-and they
ought TO get busy at il.
Not long ago Prof. Garcia Of the
New Mexico College of Agriculture and
| Mechanic Arts sent me a list of our val
] ley products, with the approximate
, dates at which they may be found upon
the market a copy Of this list should
/ be pasted in every housewives cook
book. or placed where she could see
| IL daily as she makes ready TO do her
/ ordering from the markets. The gen
/ eral observance Of the hints it contains
would go a mighty long way toward
J spelling prosperity for US all
When to Get Vegetables.
