N The Brownsville Herald mas pointed out editorially
and in its news columns many times during the past
several weeks that the citrus fruit industry Of the
Valley Is to enjoy its greatest opportunity to become
firmly established during the season which will open
IN another two weeks.
But this is so important that repetition Is justified
for the emphasis that will thus be obtained. Also
there are constantly occurring events which add proof
that this is true.
During the past week there were two announce
ments OF import. One was that the Atlantic Ind Pa
cific chain stores located in the Midwest have con-
tracted for 25 per cent Of the output Of the Texas
Citrus Fruit Growers Exchange.
The other was that southeastern states. always
heretofore supplied exclusively by Florida. are clam
oring for Valley grapefruit and that a favorable rate
to that territory would be made available TO enable
shippers to enter there.
It is estimated that the Florida crop will be re-
duced to Is. 100000 boxes from the record breaking
crop Of "a. 100000 boxes harvested last season. Also
almost half the area OF the United States Is closed TO
fruit from that state on account Of the Mediterranean
fruit fly i~nfestation there.
From this end there are other favorable :ndica-
tions.
Valley fruit IS reported 70 be In better ronditlon
than ever before and there will be a greatly increased
WELD permittinr this section to more nearly meet the
increased demand.
Another circumstance which also will do It's bit 70
make conditions favorable is a rapidly increasing con-
sumption Of grapefruit In the United States discovered
by the department Of commerce
But this opportunity places a burden Of duty On
the shoulders Of the Valley industry which must pc
met squarely and fairly.
Only fi~rst-class fruit must be shipped-wel ripeneo
and carefully cleaned and packed
That the fruit will barely pass the test required
under the Texas green fruit Jaw l. not enough ~
must PASS this test in such a manner as TO assure puF-
chasers receiving what they expect-the best grape
fruit they ever have tasted.
II must not only taste ~good-valley fruit must look
good and must &c packed right.
Meeting these conditions during the present tea-
son will so firmly establish Valley grapefruit IN inc
markets Of the United States that nothing IN ne
future viii be able to close the outlet which VIII pe -
badly needed when Valley orchards reach their max
imum yield.

Safety

That there Is a human side 70 business as well -

In every household. In every fac

men and women work, there should
be materials TO use in case Of acct
