The Valleys Opportunity

Citrus fruit raised In Florida within q mile Of
known infestation by the Mediterranean fruit fly. un-
der modified quarantine regulations. must be put
through a sterilizing process before 1t can be shipped
outside the state.
After 1t is sterili1ed Created to kill any possible
larvae OF the fly) it can be shipped to any place In
the United States except the states Of Alabama. Ar
kansas. Arizona, California, Georgia. Idaho. Louisiana.
Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina. Ok
lahoma, Oregon. South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas.
Utah and Washington or the territory Of Porto Rico.
Fruit grown outside the area where sterilization IS
required may be shipped without treatment 10 the
District OF Columbia. Maryland. Pennsylvania ind I'll
states north and east Of there. or may be shipped TO
foreign countries through these rtates. t
Fruit known to be infested must be destroyed I'm
mediately In Florida.
The sterilization process consists Of keeping the
fruit in a temperature Of 10 degrees r. INSIDE the
fruit) for eight hours under an air humidity Of 10
per cent. or preceding the fruit to q temperature Il
% degrees F. (inside the fruit) for five hours and
then holding It at 30 degrees for five days.
Tests have proved this treatment will destroy the
fly. its eggs and larvae. Further experiments ne
necessary to determine whether the fruit will be in
jured by the processing.
It Is estimated that 90 per cent If the Florida
grapefruit crop is grown in the area where processing
will be required.
Little grapefruit Is grown In the United States put
side Of Florida and the Valley.
The territory In the East where q large part M
Florida grapefruit is consumed Is open to the process
ed fruit this year.
But there are II states in the United States Ghich
will look almost entirely to the Valley Tor It's supply
of grapefruit during the coming season. This IS the
Valleys observation-disclosures for q moment taking
advantage OF the deplorable condition Of Florida
These states will demand grapefruit and the Val
lev should supply that demand. Only the very best
fruit grown should be shipped into the area where
Valley grapefruit is being sold for the first time. A
quality product will prove Valley ruperiority md will
permanently claim these markets for our fruit. oOnly
quality fruit should be shipped at any time 70 tny

II greer fruit, or fruit that is not Of the best quail
tty for any reason is shipped into this new territory
the markets which are ours for this year will return
To Florida as soon as she Is able to enter the field
again.
In this connection every dollar available should be
vpent this year for advertising our fruit In the terri
tory where the Valley Is seeking new markets.
This Is the Valleys opportunity. Her future sue
cess is wrapped up in how well she handles the stu
alton.

began to paint her lips with the
other.
"Chatty," Billie said, after a little
pause. do you really like Bryant
and Winnie-or do you Just 60
around with them because you had
a fuss with Dave Jordan? Just TO
show him that you don't are about
him?"
Chatty laid the lipstick and the
mirror down upon the window sill.
She put her head to n side, con-
sidering.
Il don't know" she said, slowly.
"Of course. / wanted to show Dave
that ! wasn't going TO die on the
vine, Just because he didn't like
some things that I did But I
do like Bryant, heaps. He's so Won
derful looking, Billie. and such
heaps of fun. No girl could help
falling in love with him If he want
ed her to-" Her voice became soft
and dreamy a. she spoke.
You mean If he made love %
her?" asked Billie. stolidly. You
mean if he tried to make her fall
in love with him?"
Chatty didn't know what to say
TO that.
Because that's the cheapest kind
OF love there Is" Billie went on,
picking I'D her mirror ard putting
it in her bag. And it's dangerous,
too. You see, you may think you're
crazy about a man who's making
love to you-when all the time
you're just in love with the thrill
he's giving you"
Chatty only half listened to her.
Her mind was on Bryant. waiting
for her out in the big office.
And so she paid no attention to
Billie's advice. The best advice that
any woman can give to another.
Its called being in love with
love- I believe" Billie said. 1T was
the reason for that marriage Of
mine-and SO I know what I'm talk
ing about, Chat. Never imagine
yourself in love with a man unless
YOU like his brains as well as you
like the way he kisses you. Never
think you're in love with him unless
you can enjoy just talking to him
as much as you enjoy letting hin
put his arm around YOU"
But even then, Chatty wasn't lis
tening TO her.
She was pulling her little BLACK
silk hat down over her forehead
and flattening the little blond curl:
Of hair that lay against her cheek
and busting her nose once mors
with flesh colored powder.
Good night. Billie" she callel

an OlQ Office maCIllQe!
It wasn't fairl
But If she worked hard all day,
she certainly played hard half the
night lately.
For Bryant was one Of those peo-
pie who don't know how TO have q
good time alone-and he was a born
play-boy.
He eve read a book, so far IS
Chatty knew. He never sat down to
talk seriously about anything. He
would not even 60 to a movie unless
1t was a comedy.
At half past five every night ne
was always ready and eager TO. step
into his green roadster and start
off for something to eat-something
to do-Somewhere to 60.
These fellows who hang around
the office late at night. making
dates for the next day. or checking
I'D client lists, give me a pain in
the thorax," he said TO Chatty late
that afternoon, when he waS sitting
on the corner of his desk, waiting
for her to leave her switchboard
and put on her hat.
You mean me?" Dave Jordan
sang out at him from his own cor
ner Of the room, where he was az
work. Because I'm not staying late
tonight I'm going out for din
ner with some friends"
So then he had accepted the
girls invitation for that nightl
"Oh, why should I care?" Chatty
asked herself. "'Why should I care
what he does? Its Bryant that ]
care about"
I'm ready now" she said aloud
to him. "All through with the JOB
and all ready for the evening! OH
isn't the end Of the day lovely?
Nothing to worry about until tomov-
row morning!"
In the cloakroom Billie was put
ting on her little blue hat before the
long mirror. She looked white ana
tired, as II the heat Of these long
summer days wore her out.
Going home with me?" she ask
ed, when Chatty opened the doc;
and came in. 1T should think you'o
want to go home and get int
something cool. My clothes are JUS

CHAPTER xxx

Chatty was so ashamed at being
caught eavesdropping that for a
minute she hadn't Q word to say
for herself.
She just looked dumbly into Dave
Jordan'S angry eyes. and his face
that was red with his fury.
What kick do you get out of all
this busy-body stuff. anyway" he
asked her. "Poking your nose into
other peoples affairs, all the time?
DO you enjoy it?"
He spoke to her slangily ard
crisply, much as Pud might have
spoken during a quarrel.
And Chatty answered him exactly
as she would have answered Pud.
"Oh, fish," she said, impudently.
What difference does 1t make II

TO date you up? Are they so i'm

She turned her back on him.
But he did not go away.
II want to see that you get of

there behind her. waiting until she
finally did get off the line where
he and his girl were talking.
Then he went back to his desk
and finished his conversation-on.y
a minute or two.
Chatty sat wondering whether re

More and more we realize that
food has O more important place In
determining the state Of health. In
tines past, food has been something
merely to appease the appetite.
Anything to I'LL tie daily demands
OF the stomach seemed all that was
necessary.
The real need q food is to supply
energy, TO build a healthy frame
work, strong muscles and red
blood. There cam { be a healthy
brain without an unfailing supply
Of good food. One OF the most in
tereSting facts brought to light in
recent years Is that low intellI-
gence is often the result OF made
quate or poor food.
DR.. John Munroe, Of Long Island
University. has come to the conclu-
sion that intellikO nee is not entirely
an hereditary possession. Several
years ago DR.. Munroe made some
interesting intelligence tests on zoo
public school children. The homes
Of these children were graded ac-
cording to certain food and cookery
standards. Other condition of en-
vironment were also considered. The
tests covered the lives of the chill
dren through school and college. or
business life. It was found that the
students who lost points In these
tests from year to year. we're those
who came from homes where the
food conditions were poor, {. below
the average.
In one experiment, two groups Of
ten children were taken from fam
ilie1 OF fairly h.-h intelligence. Be
sides the regular meals. milk and
eggs were fed twie a day to one
group or ten. TT the end Of tho
experiment. with the exception OF
ore child, IL was found that ali
these children had an increase IL
intelligence superior 10 that a. the
group which had not been given the
eggnogs. IL ~ er were on a nor
NAL home diet.
Poor food Is false economy. Your
child cannot make good grades at
school II he is improperly nourished.
Your little daughter may be fretful
and perverse. Her brother perhaps
has a low mark in his studies and
department. Look well into Il, for
the fault may not be theirs. 1t may
be partly due to some lack in the
diet.
II Is not necessary to have the
most expensive food, but care must
be taken to have he proper kind.
