month Mr.. and Mrs. DeHaas have
been visiting in Milwaukee, and
rather expected 10 remain there
through the winter. But the
longing for plenty of room and
fresh air and good eats, as Wal
ter explained IT, brought them
back home. They drove up from
Milwaukee and found the high
ways in perfect condition. The
weather. so Mr.. DeHaas states, IS
not any worse than in Milwaukee
in fact is much warmer, even
though the mercury drops way
down in the bulb occasionally.

about the matter but you informing everyone
who sees what you have written of the fact that
you have indeed place which is showing rapid

place where the editor of the paper goes out and
sees the beautiful homes. the grassy lawns the
happy and contented people and the progress be-
ing made. and then goes back to his office and
cannot put into words what his thoughts are. 1t

INcREAsINc DEMAND FoR cRApes

Grape growers in fact, report an unprcccdent.
ed call for grapes. resulting IN rapid increase In
prices obtained for certain varieties Where for.
.merly the growers received about s35 ton. they
are now getting about 800 ton Naturally this
has stimulated grape growing where vineyards
flourish.
Shippers report the demand TO be for grapes
in large quantities This has exhausted the supply
to such an extent that small package shipments Of
Delawares and Conoords that formerly sent
to many cities throughout the country have been
almost discontinued
Why the demand for grapesp They are
wanted il is claimed. to make grape fruit beverages
and also for home brew. OF course home made
wine is frowned on by the law but homemade
grape juice is not barred Only it must not be
fermented
If the demand for grapes continues to increase
as it has increased during the last two three
years greatly enlarged vineyards may be looked
for where cultivated grapes are grown, and new
vineyards may spring up in sections where grapes
can be grown to advantage
Wine may be sold only for medicinal sac
ramental purposes The demand being so limit
ed that the wine cellars OF California stocked
to OVERLOOKING but ahe California grape growers
have had trouble marketing their fruit in the
East at greater profit it is said than by turning
il into wine
Grapes grow wild in many parts OF Texas, but
there are few vineyards in the State. If the de
mand Tor cultivated grapes continues mere IS OPP
portunty for a new and profitable industry in
Texas.-For Worth Record.
The South Plains is a splendid grape growing
region. and this no boubt could be made one OF
the great money-making propositions in this sec
ton. The grape crop is reasonably sure. The late
freezes seldom ever destroy the crop. With
the demand increasing for the grape products, we
believe that our people would do well to pay more
attention than heretofore to the production of
grapes the South Plains. There is a section OF
country two hundred miles square around Lubbock
that is unquestionably well adapted to the growth
of grapes

A FRIENDLY FEELING TOWARD THE FAIR

There is a general friendly feeling in the coun-
ties nearby regarding the fair. and II is the general
opinion among the people of the twelve or fif-
teen counties that comprise the South Plains proper
that there is need for fair of the nature that Lub
book has started and is trying to build up, and
that Lubbock is beyond any question the place
where the fair should be held They are willing
to Join in the fair and there is nothing but praise
for the manner by which the South Plains Fair has
been conducted in the past and we confident
that there will be no occasion for other than good
words and commentator of the way things will
go this year Lubbock of course, bore the expenses
to large extent in carrying the fair thus far but
there will come time believe, in the very near
future that with the financial aid of the several
counties that will eventually in, in very
substantial way that the burden will in a measure
be raised from the Lubbock business men and each
county will share in the proposition, which in all
probability will not continue to be burden but
rather an asset and that it will become one of the
real attractions Of the Southwest This year there
will be great increase in the exhibition building
floor space, and this viii give the county exhibitors
a chance 10 show their exhibits more satisfactorily
II will also give the individuals better opportu
nifty 20 display their products, and everything viii
be more convenient and much better in every way
than ever before. There comes to the manage
rnent Of the fair words OF encouragement from every
part of the South Plans and the success OF the
fair seems assured this year which is probably one
of the hardest that will ever have to cope with
Lubbock is proud of the progress that has been
made in the fair and we are glad of the good feel
ing that comes to from neighboring coun-
ties We bid all a hearty welcome to the city and
to the fair and hope that you will be more
favorably impressed with the way il is conducted
after you have attended the Ninth, Annual Expo
stion than before.

CUT OUT THE TOWN FIGHT

There is really nothing that wildly identifies
place as a small town does the town
fight stuff When towns really get into the city
class they stop such stuff always picking at the
neighbor towns The really progressive town is the
one where the people all work together for the up
building of their own town and bid the other cities
Godspeed and good luck. II shows real tleness
as well as acknowledges defeat deficiency when
a person has to Try to build up their town on al
legged dement's Of another he South Plains Is
reasonably free from such as this but once in a
while some little upstart who expects to set the
world On fire every time he writes few lines,
thinks this IS a popular string to jerk among his
home people and continues to harp. harp away,
abusing has neighbor towns, trying to betle them
every time he speaks and seems to think that will
build his own town up. Few people believe in
that kind Of stuff, and It is not appreciated by the
broadrninded sensible people of the community.
IL is only the dry goods box whttlers. the fellows
who sit on the street corners and aches that voice
that kind OF stuff as the way to build towns. The
Avalanche has no patience with such methods
the folks that try to put it over. Lubbock has
enough to do to build and take of the needs
that the public demands of them and time to
knock on the other fellow. Every fellow should
get in the collar and pull for the development OF
the South Plains. The growth of every town
helps the development OF this section and we
should everyone be in line to put forth the best
effort possible for this great undeveloped country
Thousands upon thousands Of acres OF rich. fertile
land remain yet untouched Do your bit toward
getting people it. and make it productive OF the
things that is needed TO feed and clothe the IN
ereasing millions Of inhabitants OF the land and
you viii be counted among the number that has
accomplished something for your town and the
South Plains
