try With a view TO working out a
program whereby more American
fruits can be sold in the markets Of
Continental Europe.
AT present, he told those with
whom he conferred, Valley grape
fruit virtually Is unknown in the
European markets. Shipments are
being received from Florida, Porto
Rico. Jamaica, Egypt and elsewhere
but the Europeans are far from be-
ing "grapefruit-minded.
Since other areas also are going
in for extensive development Of
citrus. he said in reply TO questions
from growers the wise thing for the
Valley to do is to grow the best va
riety possible and capitalize on the
fact.
Port To Aid
With deep water and the prS7er
sort Of fast boat schedules, Mr..
Motz asserted. according to those
who talked with him. that a lucra-
tive market In Europe can be de-
veloped.
He was careful to point out. how
ever. it was said, that citrus will
have to be delivered in Europe at
a price which will not be too high,
that IL must be a first class, mar
ketable product and be well pack
ed.
MI. Motz was quoted as saying
that grapefruit Is the least edver-
tised Of all fruits and therefore Of
fers the best possibilities for mar
ket expansion. But he warned
growers that prices must be lowered
and the world educated to like and
use grapefruit.
Another statement attributed 10
the federal economist was that even
should there be an overproduction
OF citrus, II the Valley produced a
superior product and advertised 10
properly. II should be able to mar
ket ii without difficulty.
Those who conversed with Mr..
Motz gathered that IL was hts be-
lief that the Valley should start at
once. If possible. TO capitalize on the
superior quality OF its product. TO
advertise it in q big way through
out the world; that he considered
this the only sure way In which
II can always be assured Of a ready
market for It's grapefruit.
