possible that the demand for citrus
might become greater than the
supply sometime in the future, they
insist that there always will be a
market for a superior product such
as the Valley produces.
They take the position that the
government Is presuming a great
deal, If the reported bulletin ac-
tually has been issued, IN that
grapefruit Is perhaps the least
known and the least advertised of
all the major fruits produced in
this country.
They insist there is no possible
way TO tell to what extent demand
for the citrus will be increased by
an advertising campaign Of world
wide proportions. They point out
also that a vast market can and
will be opened for grapefruit In
continental Europe.
Granted that the price OF citrus
will decline. the growers and ship
perS call attention to the fact that
the Valley not only can grow the
best fruit. but can grow II more
cheaply than in any other area OF
the United States.
These fatcors. they argue, must
have been ignored without justifi-
cation In the reported government
bulletin. They are hopeful that
Texas representatives In congress
can bring the necessary pressure 10
bear in Washington TO remedy the
situation.

In glazing contrast to the heated

may not be so much as one clash
from the rostrum this year.
A large proportion Of the incum-

without opposition. Candidates for
those few offices which are contest

clashes before the voters.
Only three races-sheriff, district
clerk and Judge Of the county court
at law-give any indication Of de-
veloping fireworks. Frank Brown.
incumbent in the sheriff'S chair. is
opposed by Mike Manahan. who
gave him q close race last election.
Both are actively combing field for
votes. but 1t is not likely that they
viii take the stump.
District Clerk John Seaman IS
opposed by J. j. Bishop. present
county auditor, and James Browne.
Browne Is conducting a vigorous
campaign over the county by per-
sonal solicitation. Unless action is
taken within the next few days,
neither OF these candidates will face
the voters from the stand.
Judge John /. Kleiber Of the
county court at law Is opposed by
N. @. Cofer and z. T. Yates. Both
OF the latter are Brownsville bar
risters. Yates Is active with a cam
paign Of personal solicitation. Judge
Kleiber has expressed himself as IN
favor OF stumping the county with
