will give the farmers Of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley all aid possible In
securing 4 protective tariff for vege-
tables and all other farm products ,
was the assurance given BY Congress
ran Harry M. Wurzbach Of Seguin.
Texas only republican representative
in congress, at a meeting Of several
hundred Valley growers here Satur-
day.
"The farmers Of the Valley are en-
titled TO protection; they should have
the same protection accorded other
industries, and the reason that TcNis
farmers have not secured re ugni-
ton in this respect is due 70 the
fact they have always indicated by
their votes they were opposed % he
protective policy" the congressman
stated
Willard Ferguson Of Mission, presi-
dent Of the Farmers Protective s0-
ciety Of that district, presided at the
meeting. and the congressman was
introduced by Lloyd Thompson OF
Harlingen.
Thompson Praises Wurzbach
In his Introductory remarks Mr..
Thompson stated he is a democrat,
but that Wurzbach's record as a
friend OF the Valley had won for the
congressman in this part Of the state
the same high regard the voters of
the San Antonio district have re-
peatedIN. shown By electing a repub-
lican in a strong democratic district.
Mr.. Thompson also expressed the
opinion that all the effort now being
directed toward organization Of the
farmers with the object of improving
marketing conditions would prove Of
no avail unless a protective tariff is
placed upon vegetables and other
farm products. He cited the fact that
Valley growers are. in direct compe-
tition with the cheap lands and
cheaper labor Of Mexico Hundreds
OF carloads OF vegetables from Mex
leo were shipped 70 the market the
past season in competition with Val
iey grown products, and the Valley
growers are fully aware VI the re-
suit" he said.
Urges Republican Support
Congressman Wurzbarh urged
those farmers or the VALLEY who
we're in favor Of a protective tariff
20 support republican representatives
70 congress. "The republican party
" pledged to that n0licy.r ~ stated
Every tariff measure has received
the opposition Of Southern democrats.
