10Y Gl1ll
HARLINGEN, Sept. 16.-Rumors
that quantities of green fruit are
being shipped from the Valley we're
branded false by green fruit law
officials here this morning. No
Valley fruit has passed the official
tests, enforcement chiefs declared.
w. A. Canon. state market divi-
sion chief. said that present re-
quirements are taking care OF the
situation and that no green fruit
is leaving the Valley.
He declared that a better quality
Of fruit will leave the Valley this
year than ever before. due in part
TO more stringent regulations.
Canon also took a shot at Valley
shippers who have in previous
years sent bulletins and letters to
Texas dealers. warning them OF
green fruit shipped from the VAL
ley. The practice, Cannon said. re-
suits only in giving Valley citrus
fruit a bad reputation. 1t Is al
right. he continued. for such bull
letins TO be given Valley growers.
but they should not be circulated
outside the va.iey.
Green fruit shipments from the
Valley also arc curtailed because Of
the lateness of the Florida season
and little competition TO Valley
growers in state sales.
