fled that the picturesque Houston

Hopes States Will
Remain Friendly
Especial to The Herald.)

SpeCld 10 lie EcIdll.l
HARLINGEN, March 28.-When
all the difficulties between Wiscon-
sin and Texas have been settled,
and some adjustment provided for
operations Of Valley land agents in
the Badger state. the Valley will
emerge much the better for all the
recent publicity coming from the
tangle with the Wisconsin Real
Estate Brokers board.
This was the opinion expressed
by George r. Kull, secretary OF
the Wisconsin Manufacturers as
ISOLATION. who arrived here uhis
morning for a tour Of the Valley to-
day with Earl G. Bacon and other
Valley men.
Talks With Moody
The party came from Austin,
where Kull came early this week
for conferences with Governor
Dan Moody. He had no intention
at first OF visiting the Valley. ne
said. coming TO Austin as emisSary
of Wisconsin manufacturers TO eS-
tablish friendly contact with Moo
dy and discuss the situation arising
from WiSconSn's ban OF Valley
land sales.
The only solution l can see,
Kull declared, is for the two states
to maintain friendly relations until
a more thorough investigation can
be made and any injustice which
might have been done the Valley
can be corrected.
The Wisconsin Real Estate
Board IS created by the state, and
the laws which it has put into ef-
feet could not be changed until
next January. II Is possible
that some adjustment and change
in the law will be made at that
time, and I hope that the two states
can maintain a friendly attitude
until then
Wisconsin Friendly
Wisconsin people are generally
friendly toward the Valley. accord
ing 10 Kull. and while they are not
entirely familiar with the situation,
are willing for Texas TO have JUS
tice in the matter Of land opera
tons in the state.
The widespread publicity which
has been general Throughout ali
states since the difficulties between
Wisconsin and the Valley will re-
dound to the good of the Valley.
Kull believes. and really draw
more attention to this section in
the future.
Il want to find out II Valley
people are happy and c~ontented,'
Kull said. That. in my estimation,
will be a big argument for the Val
ley"
A banquet will be given tonight
for Kull by Earl Bacon which viii
be attended by Mrs. Kull and a few
Valley men. The Wisconsin couple
may remain N the Valley for more
