I'm OUR
VALLEY


tween the passenger station and the
Chamber Of Commerce.
The spot already has some nice
trees, all willows.
In time IL can be made into one
Of the beauty spots Of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley.
Would like to see at least one
real beauty spot developed that
would serve as an example to fu-
ture development along this line.
The Valley is short Of beautified
spots placed where the entire public
may benefit.
Every town in the Valley should
have from three to q dozen Of them.
THE SOUTH TEXAS Chamber of
Commerce is preparing for its first
convention.
1t is hoped to bring from 10000
TO 10000 South Texans to this great
gathering.
Many problems Of importance TO
South Texas will be discussed.
There are many problems in this
section Of the state that are equally
as important as those Of West Texas.
West Texas. for example. recently
had terrific uproar about water
| and water division.
South Texas has interests at stake
along this line.
/ South Texas does not propose, of
course, to sit idly by and permit
West Texas 20 make irrigation laws
i for the state when South Texas has
. irrigation interests scores Of times
i more important than those of West
/ Texas.
That's one thing that will be TAX
N en- up at the Forthcoming eonven-
tion.
Let's not permit West Texas to
make laws to govern South Texas
development.

iting 10 The Herald, Mr.. Ear
says:
'hy should the word 'quaran-
be used in connection with the
and federal control of ship
= Of citrus from the Valley?
he word quarantine is defined
enforced isolation of any per-
N N or place infected with CON
AUS disease AS ! understand il,
is no quarantine, strictly
wing. of any citrus shipments
from the Valley; of course. II fed
eral inspectors discover the citrus
fiv in any orchard. that particular
orchard will be guaranteed, but
other orchards would not be affected.
"The word quarantine is objec-
tionable: IL makes you think Of a
yellow flag. The so-called quaran-
tine has been advertised too much.
The citrus people Of this wonderful
il Valley will do well 70 clean up their
orchards, keep them clean, comply
with all state and federal regula-
tions and forget about the citrus
fly. Old-timers in the Valley say that
the Mexican citrus fruit fly has been
i here for twenty years; however. even
y 4 this is true il can be destroyed
- while this is being done or
kards are being cleaned as never
before"
