BLANK FORMS FOR DEPARTING KINGS

and opportunity for drawing up a manifesto complete

demand for blank forms which can be filled out on

popular:

which I have not stressed very
much in discussions Of this subject
in the Valley papers is that one
big Valley-wide cooperative mar
keting agency Is absolutely neces-
sary If We are TO have an adver-
Using campaign large enough TO
create an adequate market for
Texas grapefruit.
There Is now one well establish
ed brand in the Valley-TexaSweet.
Ii is a good name. A lot Of money
has been spent building Up this
name. This brand name Is a good
will asset that should be conserv-
ed. To start building up a compe-
titive brand is a waste Of the grow
ers money. No matter which mar
keting plan Is adopted. this estab-
lished trade name should be pre-
served. Now Is the time to act. A
big crop is II prospect for this year.
Why wait several years 70 90 the
thing that must eventually be
done?
If YOU growers want TO get good
prices for your fruit this coming

you want action. There is no need
OF letting financial depression hang

When?

purpose but will the road be paved
-No-nor should IL be done under
the present conditions.
The writer has studied the con-
ditions existing along the proposed
route to Be paved and has come
tc the conclusion that ID will be a
mistake to pave that road as IL Is
now laid off as a county road all

that IS q suitable layout for a
permanent county road.
Judge Dancy and Commissioner
Logan have had to stand for a
great amount Of criticism on ac-
count Of that road not being paved
but my unbiased opinion now Is
that both have been watching an
economic condition which exists and
have withheld putting the county
monev in that road as II now
stands.
The obstacles and their removal:
LIST. We are agreed that Il roads.
the hard ssrfaced roads which are

the highest points or land IN this

IL is a feasible plan to run a hard
surface road through RanEervilie

reasonable man would say not pave
