ing the Valley. The other might not
be readily brought to mind, but 1t
is a slam which has been taken at
South Texas hay.
With references TO the black list
ing Of certain Texas realty concerns
by q governing court established II
Wisconsin for such purposes, Gov
n Moody has asked the COVER
nor Of that state to send a delega-
ton to the Valley for first hand in
formation.
The Valley presents a section OF
peculiarities the like Of which 1t
will be hard TO find anywhere else
in the United States. 1t Is always
best to know the Valley before
acting for or against it. It is a good
step. Members OF the delegation will

M, yes. we we're about to forget
that hay business. Well, it seems
that the South Texas hay deal
ers are being given a black eye. The
grass growing section around Hous-
ton Is affected most.
It seems to be mostly because the
army, buyers Of most Of the bales,
will establish a new grading basis
on color. Hay growers around Hous-
ton claim that horses and cows are
not particular about the color OF
their hay. What Dobbin, or Bessie,
wants to know is what 1t tastes like
ana how much there is OF 1t.
Those interested have sent 10 A.
& NJ. for further official data. Au-
thorities there have written back TO
the effect that they are not much
in the hay business, but that GER
tainly chemical content. which in
turn gives the taste TO Dobbin and
Bessie, should be q quality basis.
One thing that is fretting the
South -exas district is that 1t has
taken forty years, o or less. for
army and other buyers to discover
that color is q basis for refusing or
ders and leaving huge crops on the
hands Of growers. II matters come
to the worst the growers might go

business for q certain class Of ho-
tells We have in mind.

This time comes a letter to Sam

to tell how good both were. Certain

m A letter has been received in
the Valley from New York. 1t
reads TO the effect that the COM

there is a grapefruit grown here
which is of a blood red color" and
which is delicious beyond compare.
Samples were requested, and II

start ballyhooing this particular
grapefruit for their own commercial
