M. r. Donelson of the McAllen Cit
rus Association writes today 70
point out that there Is no reason
Why the Valley should not get a
reasonable price for its Marsh seed
less grapefruit. Here Is what he has
TO say:
1T eems well at this time TO in
form the citrus growers of the Rio
Grande Valley, especially the grow
ers Of Marsh SeedlesS grapefruit
Just what the conditions are. 1t is
true that Florida has one Of the
largest crops they have ever known,
but the greater part Of their fruit
is OF the Duncan variety. and they
90 not ship Marsh seedless fruit
until very late in the season. and will
not likely place Marsh seedless on
the market before the latter part
CT March or the first Of April. The
central states especially demand
Marsh seedless fruit, and there is no
reason why we should not demand
a reasonable price for our fruit OF
this variety. The only thing that
keeps us from 1t is the unorganized
condition of both the shippers and
the growers. We believe that If the
growers who sell for cash would de-
mand a reasonable price for their
Marsh seedless fruit before il is
taken from the trees, u would 60 a
long way toward stabilizing the
market.
There Is no Marsh seedless grape
fruit available from any point ex-
cept Texas at this time, especially
IN the central states, and with the
exceptionally short crop we have
In the Valley, this fruit could be
sold at a reasonable price before
Florida even starts the shipment of
Marsh seedless."
THE Valley Morning Star in Valley
Views today gets out OF line TO
say that The Brownsville Her.
AID is campaigning to get the names
Of the streets printed on the curb
and the houses numbered. It goes
on to say that the Laredo Times
has done that thing and TO ask rs
the Laredo Times more potent with
its influence than The Herald?"
The Herald does not set itself I'D
10 brag OF its influence, but 1t hopes
it will never exhibit being as sound
asleep as the Star does in referring
to a campaign TO paint the names
OF the streets on the curb.
AS q major objective Of the local
K;wanis club, backed by The Herald,
and because the city fathers saw
the need, the commission at no lit
tic expense Is erecting all over
Brownsville street corner signs to
compare favorably with any In Tex
as. For financial reasons that same
commission has not seen fit to mum
Der the houses. But In time that
viii be done. But not because any
one attempts TO establish himself,
OF any publication. as a would be
Valley dictator-as some things from
others in the Valley these days
smack Of.
MANY letters are received by The
W Herald to the effect that If the
Star would pick a few more sub
jccts other than the alleged short
comings of The Herald its readers
would be more pleased as one today
frankly asserts we do not care for
the harangues Of two editors. What
90 we care Of their affairs?" II asks.
rOL. William Talbot. republican
Il, candidate for governor spoke TO
a large audience at Harrington
last night. and delivered a political
address seldom heard. Not a time
did he lambaSt the character of his
opponent, but all through stuck to
an address OF proposed Texas de-
I elopment. II was a buy-it-made-
&n-Texas plea. which although not
new is q sound doctrine. But it was
pleasing to hear 1t as a change in
political stump speaking. Following
the address a Valley chamber or
commerce secretary was heard to
remark that Bill Talbot should be
a Texas Chamber of Commerce Sec
rotary, instead Of running for gov
ernor.
But despite Mr.. Talbot's seeming
earnest endeavor to have Texas peo-
rle do something for themselves he
will fail to be seated In the COVER
uor's chair for two reasons. These
are that he Is running on a repub-
Iican ticket in Texas and his cam
najpn has no facetiously popular
hot dog slogan a la wz6dv Tate.
