BETTER PACK
Is ESSENTIAL,
EXPERT Says
Marketing Specialist
Advocates More Uni
form, Better Pack
For Vegetables
Especial to The HERALD


SAN BENITO. June THE Lower
Rio Grande Valley is building a name
for itself in some Of the market cen
tiers OF the United States on some
products, but the main handicap
which IL has in the larger marKe1s
now IS the sllp-shod way IN which the
produce IS packed a shipped.
IA was the statement mere OF
q. 4. Crawford, research marketing
specialist OF the Texas A. a. M. Cor
iege, who has just competed a study
OF Inc marketing Of NaIIey products.
Mr. Crawford arrived IN the Valley
Wednesday, and viii remain the rest
Of the week, looking over the stu
alton here. Some time ago ne MADE
a STUDY OF the growing and packing
Of vegetables IN the Aasley, n more
recently he mas made a study OF the
marketing end of Valley produce in
the Northern and Eastern markets.
lie divulged some interesting fig
ures in connection with the division
of the return from produce which the
consumer pays. A record on n car
showed that of the dollar which the
consumer pays the grower receives
about 10 cents, the carrier about -
cents, the retailer as, and the re-
malnder is divided between the carlot
and less-than-carlot brokers, the
brokers receiving a comparatively
small percentage IN comparison with
that Of either the carrier or the re-
tailers.
Il find that the Valley has created
a market for some of it's produce
through Standardization Of pack and
brand he said. he mentioned in
particular potatoes, which have been
shipped out in the main under the d.
rection of the potato growers associ-
alton. But the tomatoes are shipped
and packed badly, he said, the carrots
are the wrong variety, and are not
packed right.
The specialist brought out strong
liz the importance Of a uniform pack.
The retail merchant wants TO know
just how many punches of carrots
he is getting in a crate, and just how
big these punches are. The Call
fornia carrots are more in demand
for this reason, as they are packed
five dozen to the crate, while Valley
carrots are crowded into hampers,
of varying numbers.
The specialist urged the Valley
growers to use more care in the Sc
lection Of their varieties, saying that
the tomato and carrot varieties are
not the best. He also urged more
judgment in selection of shipping
points, mentioning that some green
wrap tomatoes have been shipped 70
Fort Worth, where they had to be
held some time before ripening,
while some June pinks were shipped
as far away as California.
Mr.. Crawford is making a series OF
talks TO farmers and civic clubs IN
the Valley. He urged Valley people
to take advantage of their climate
and soil and beat other sections 70
the market with their products. This,
he said, eliminates competition TO q
large extent, and vii prove a great
aid in settling the marketing prob
lem.

Demons Defeat Dickinson 2I-12 in Uninteresting Game
MICHIGAN IS
PURDUE FEAR
DURING WEEK
Boilermakers' Defeat Will
Scramble Race-Badgers
Play Notre Dame

Chicago, Feb. 6.-(R)-Michigan's
fast pivoting team held both the
hopes and fears Of conference .ead-
ers today as the Big Ten basketball
race entered upon its home stretch.
They hoped the Maize and Blue
machine. which has already won
three consecutive victories, would
crush Purdue in their game at Ann
Arbor Saturday thereby topping
the Boilermakers from first place.
Likewise, they feared to meet Ben
ME Oosterbaan and his mates as
they must do before they can end
the season.
Michigan, after losing its first
two games to Wisconsin and North
western, has so mastered its diff
cult pivot play that Indiana, Ohio
State and Chicago have fallen in
the path Of the onrushing Maize and
Blue.
OF the six conference games this
week, the Michigan-Pur game
will be the most important. A de-
feat for Purdue likewise would
scramble the race.
Two Triumphant Trays
Two conference games will be
played tonight but neither is con-
sidered important because both in
volve second division teams. Ohio
State will play 1t Chicago and Min
nesota at Iowa. Purdue will have q
warming up session for the Michi-
gan game by tackling Franklin col
lege at Lafayette.
Another important game Of the
week is the Northwestern Illi-
nois game at Urbana Wednesday.
Although the Illini are near the bot
tom Of the conference ladder, their
upset Of Wisconsin has stamped
them as troublesome.
Wisconsin will return to the floor
after an absence Of three weeks,
when it meets Notre Dame in .
non conference game at Madison to-
morrow night. Saturday the Badg-
ers will play Minnesota, present
conference cellar occupants, also at
Madison. Indian will return to
conference play Saturday, meeting
Iowa at Bloomington.
In last Saturday nights games,
Michigan defeated Chicago, % to 10,
and Ohio State surprised Minnesota,
