tract Of land ard cleared IL In what
was then a great stretch Of wilder
ness. II don't know whether that
man foresaw what the Valley ID TO-
day, but ] must believe that IL Is
impossible for any man to foresee
en place IN the Valley in the last 20,
Three yearr ago ! was in the
Valley. Since then three buildings,
two OF them five stories, and one
nine stories, have been erected in
Harrington. 1 was here on another
occasion a year lax last August
Since then n Of the five-story
buildings, and the nine-story build
ing have been completed.
THE history of Harrington IN the
history OF the rest of the Valley;
what has happened here, has hap
pened in other Valley cities.
Every time we come here we have
cause 70 marvel.
Best known Part Of State
II believe the Valley ia the best
advertised. and the. best known Sec
ton Of Texas outside the state. with
the exception, Of course. OF the larg-
er cities. such as San Antonio. Fort
Worth. Dallas and Houston. People
ali over the country know Of the
Valleys produce, and what you are
doing here.
1.-The Valley II blooming and
fiourishing now like no other part
Of the state. and / shy this in the
belief that IL will not encourage Or
engender animoSity on the part Of
any other section.
When you get a long way from
Texas and see the big hotels with
Texas grapefruit Notwithstanding
at a higher price than other fruit,
~ makes y feel proud Of the state
and the Valley"
Governor Moody said the Valley
Fair compared favorably with other
fairs he has seen in Texas, and de-
clared he talked at dozens or them
this year.
After a short plea for harmony,
and unified effort In the empire
state Of Texas, the governor said
the prosperity which the Valley is
enjoying will reflect in other sec
tions of the state, and will benefit
the state as a whole. Prosperity in
one part Of the state helps another
he said, and bad times in one part,
hurt the entire state.
II for one wish that cher PARTS
Of Texas may enjoy prosperity as
YOU are enjoying Ii here"
Praises State Colleges
A discussion Of development In all
lines Of endcavor was entered intc
BY the governor. He praised the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical
college. and the work il has done in
raising the standard Of agriculture
In Texas from that ar the pioneer
day 10 the scientific farming Of the
present. The college has done the
same good work with livestock, Gov
ernor Moody said.
"A. a NJ. college has done Us
much good, II not more good than
any other institution in the state, +
the governor said, but eountered with
the statement that "A. & VI. has 3
sorry football team, and declared
that the score OF the game ut Col
lege Station on Thanksgiving did
not suit him at all. He was = spec.
tator at the encounter.
He declrcd the advances made
Ia agriculture due 60 the work ui
the college would more than pay fol
al the money spent on il.
Have Many Problems
we still have many problems d
learn in agriculture" he said. Agri.
culture has fl0nrished in the Nalley
~ In no other part or Texas, but wF
still have things TO learn.
~One thing that is basicaliy
wroar il the fact that the men and
women whose time and labor produce
the crops have nothing to do with
the market or price. The law Of
supply and demand probably has
much "a do with this. but there nrp
other factors which effort car
change.
we must bend every effort To
the end that the price az cnmmodi-
ties may o be affected BY spccu.
iators. and 70 the end that the men
and women who toll may have .
say in the price.
The governor next made q plea
Nor development Of industries in
Texas. One way 20 help control the
price of cotton. M said. IL To extah-
lish textil mills in Texas. and keep
the cotton hers. Development along
these lines will help To bring &C
realization the promise Of prosperity
and progress IN the future.
IF all Texas develops ms you have
here. we will have a great state, n
