Newspapers in Cameron county have
published hundreds of columns OF mat
ter IN the paat IL or l5 months in re
gard to the flood control project.
They have carried, from time 20
time, all the information that has ben
available on the project.
In addition, there have been innum-
cradle booklets and other printed mat
ter on flood control.
There is really no excuse for the man
who has failed to inform himself. If
he does not know, he should make it his
business to find out.
County Judge Oscar c. Dancy, En-
gineers Anderson and Washington, any
of the members OF the commissioners
cour, any lawyer, any newspaperman,
will be glad to give any information.
The Brownsville rJlio station has
not been closed.
1t is merely taking an August vaca-
tiOn.
It's pretty difficult rounding up pro-
grams in the vacation month.
September / will see the reOpening OF
the station, is the assurance.
Permission to close temporarily was
given by the inspector in charge of the
Gulf district, at New Orleans.

stations ambition to become a Class B
station, which is of higher rank than
the Class A stations.
1t is during the fall and winter months
that the Valley radio station will give
its best service in the way of adver

the climate here is when others are
burning coal by the tons to keep warm.
Well tell EN- about our oncomin 2
grapefruit crop-the country's waiting
for Valley grapefruit.
Well tell 'em about our thousands Of

The Brownsville Herald today is car
rying the first of series of advertise
ments for the Texas Citrus Fruit Grow
ers Exchange.
The Texas Citrus Fruit Growers Ex-
change, with headquarters at Mission
is the Valley organization to undertake
systematic advertising campaign to
advance it's interests as a cooperative
marketing organization.
In tho nrpnaration of these advertise e.
ments it has secured the services of the
Southwestern Advertising Agency OF
Dallas.
The Texas Citurs Fruit Growers Ex-
change is the first experiment in CO.
operative marketing citrus fruits in the
Valley.
1t has now been in operation for
about two and half years. 1t proved
itself the first year, its reports in
dicate, and more than provsi itself
the second year.
Systematic marketing of citrus fruits
is just as necessary to the success OF
the orchard as is the growing of the
fruit.
No use to grow fruit unless you cap
sell it at a profit.

the Valley that it has ever experienced >
So says W. f. McEnery, travelling
salesman.
He bases his prediction on the drouth
that killed crops in various parts of the
state.
However, the map shows that most OF

that ordinarily produces very fine crops
There is no denying that countie:
like Bell, Williamson, McLennan, anc
others in. that. district, burned out hi:
wear, are ordinarily splendid farming
districts.
Their lands are productive and valu
able. The owners will not turn loose
They know their country.
Bell, Williamson, McLennan and th'
Others cannot compare with Vale.
