THERE arc two difficulties before
the people OF South Texas to-
dag for ironing out purposes.
One Of these questions the read
er might be able TO guess as the
Wisconsin realty situation regard.
ing the Valley. The other might not
be readily brought to mind. but II
is a slam which has been taken al
South Texas hay.
With references to the black list
ing of certain Texas realty concerns
by a governing court established II
Wisconsin for such purposes. Gov
ernor Moody has asked the COVER
nor of that state 10 send a delega-
ton to the Valley for first hand in
formation.
The Valley presents a section OF
peculiarities the like OF which II
will be hard TO find anywhere else
In the United States. 1t is always
best TO know the Valley before
acting for or against II. 1t Is a good

Everybody else who comes down
here. Also certain manufacturers
and distributors OF machinery and
furniture may whisper into the ears
OF the delegations to find a favor

Million dollar cancellations OF or
ders speak powerful words.
HH, yes, We were about to forget
that hay business. Well. it seems
that the South Texas hay deal
crs are being given a black eye. The
grass growing section around Hous-
ton is affected most.
II seems 10 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 Doobin, or Bessie,
wants TO know is what 1t tastes Ike
and how much there is OF 1t.
Those interested have sent TO a.
a. M. for further official data. Au-
thcrities there have written back 70
the effect that they arc not mucE
in the hay business, but that GER
tainly chemical content. which in
turn gives the taste TO Dobbin and
Bessie, should be a quality basis.
One thing that is fretting the
South Aexas district Is that II has
taken forty years, more or less Ior
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

This time comes a letter to Sam

IA A letter has been received in
the Valley from New York. II
reads to the effect that the COM
