IN OUR
VALLEY


Worrying about the early open
ing Of the citrus shipping season.
We hope and they hoze that the
new Juice content tests will keep
immature. bad tasting, fruit from
going out.
r. c. Morris Of Brownsville
phones us about IT, matter.
Has a citrus grove himself and
Is thinking about the welfare OF
all his fellow citrus growers as well
as himself.
Texas Citrus Fruit Growers Ex-
cfsnge In a recent bulletin Eau
z ons about too early snipping.
k-closes q letter from . Houston
fruit jobber warning the Valley
against too early shipments.
Curb your Impotence.
Don't ruin the market before the
season begins.
Hold back your fruit until you
are SURE 1t Is palatable.
Until you KNOW II Is what Tex
as Citrus Fruit Is advertised to be.
TICK ERADICATION work
probably spells little in your life
or mine.
Correction-it spells a great deal.
but we have not known how TO
spell it.
Over a year ago state and fed
eral men cooperating began tick
eradication work in Cameron coun-
ty.
At that time there were an es-
timated 1000 herds infested.
Today there are an estimated IS
herds infested.
With such a percentage OF elimi-
nation the way is open to Cameron
county farmers to import good airy
stock.
For the tick brings on the
dreaded tick fever.
Valley cattle had become i'm
mune to the fever.
New stock brought IN TO breed
up the quality Of Valley herds
caught the fever and died.
Result-our herds became run
down-unprofitable.
Now, officials in charge an
nounce, 1t will be safe TO bring IN
4gh bred stock.
We can safely undertake the
TTEGhase OF such stock.
Our herds can be bred up.
To a profitable basis of milk
production.
Meaning that our dairy farmers
can make more money.
To spend for clothing and shoes
and groceries and automobiles and
even for newspapers.
That's why tick eradication
spells something in your life and
mine
And that's why the money the
county has spent for such work Is
an A 1 investment.
Which investment should be
protected by a continuance OF the
work.

He lives. officially at least. in

OF course the fact that the eel

would have no effect on Mr.. Low

For he is a government official

And as the result OF his ideas.
a custom Of 80 years standing hits
