v The Brownsville Heraio 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
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 10000 boxes from the record breaking
crop Of %, 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 lndica-
tons.
Valley fruit Is reported 20 be IN better condition
than ever before and there will be a greatly increased
yield. permitting this section to more nearly meet The
incseased 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
che shoulders Of the Valley industry which must be
met squarely and fairly.
