IN OUR
VALLEY.

Valley are worrying.
Worrying about the early OPEN
ing OF the citrus shipping season.
We hope and they hope that the
new juice content tests will keep
immature, bad tasting, fruit from
going out.
r. c. Morris of Brownsville
phones us about tn 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-
0ange In a recent bulletin eau
tons about too early shipping.
xncloses a letter from a Houston
fruit jobber warning the Valley
against too early shipments.
Curb your impatience.
Don't ruin the market before the
season begins.
Hold back your fruit until you
are SURE Il is palatable.
Until you KNOW 1t is what Tex
rs Citrus Fruit is advertised TO be.
TICK ERADICATION work
probably spells little In your lie
or mine.
Correction-it spells a great deal.
but we have not known how 10
spell 1t.
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 58
herds infested.
with such a percentage OF elimi-
nation the way Is open TO Cameron
county farmers TO import gccd 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
IN the quality Of Valley herds
caught the fever and died.
Result-our herds became run
down-unprofitable.
Now. officials in charge an
nounce, 10 will be safe 70 bring ID
Yah bred stock
We can safely undertake the
purchase Of such stock.
our herds can be bred UP.
To a profitable basis OF mix
production.
Meaning that our dairy farmers
can make more money.
To spend for clothing ano SHOES
and groceries and automobile 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 l investment.
Which investment should be
protected BY a continuance OF the
work.
SEYMOUR LOWMAN IS assist
ant secretary Of the treasury.
He lives, officially at least, In
washington. -,
Perched on high in his official
capacity, Mr.. Lowman has ideas.
Which Is alright.
If his ideas were based on knowl-
edge.
So Mr.. Lowman. having these
ideas. based on ignorance OF true
conditions, passes orders
Affecting the peoples OF two
friendly nations.
Closes the International bridges
at Brownsville and Matamoros.
~ n - ss~t4f = q ~
And not only that. but refuses
TO allow the bridges to remain open
sl night during the celebration
fE yesterday and today in Mat
&poros.
Is glad for Brownsvillites to
mingle with residents OF Matamor-
os, but wants the mingling to stop
at 9 D. m.
OF course the fact that the cell
ebration continues until midnight
would have no effect on Mr.. Low
man.
For he is a government official
who has ideas.
And as the result Of his ideas,
a custom of 80 years standing hits
the discard.
HUEY LONGS IDEAS on cot
ton regulation may or nay not be
all right.
His ideas on the Texas legisla-
ture are all wet.
Huey max have the right idea
OF how 10 boost the price of cotton.
He must admit that at the best
it * a controversial subject.
He must admit tina. there are
al least two sides to the question.
And he has no right TO impugn
the motives behind the Texas leg
islature IL that body refuses to
coincide its ideas with those Of
Huey.
Huey should know that the peo-
pIe Of Texas reserve TO themselves
the right TO cuss their legislators.
It's all IN the family.
And Huey just doesn't belong to
the family.
' we are personally full OF SYM
pathy for those men now in session
In Austin.
They are up against a knotty
problem.
Trying TO find a way out which
will benefit their constituents.
And are entitled TO respectful
consideration.
And 10 freedom OF interference
from the chief executive OF any
stair. Texas and Louisiana both
