WE VOTE tomorrow.

Your mind is probably made up
right now, one way or the other.
We hope you have decided that
the manifest advantages or the
district will more than counter
balance any slight disadvantages
which may have been brought out
Whichever way you have decided,
vote your will at the polls.
That's the American way.
And then, If the issue carries.
the district car continue It's work
unhampered.
II 1t does not carry. perhaps all
dissenting elements can get together
and figure out a district that will
carry.
! VALLEY COTTON growers seem
unanimously undecided on the best
plan for helping the cotton situa-
ton.
And unless we miss our guess,
they are in the same boat with the
majority OF the cotton growing folk.
Valley cotton growers do have a
slight edge on those whose sole
means OF support rests on the cot
ton crop.
We can drop cotton entirely from
u list and survive.
TO be sure, what Is usually a
nice money crop would be missed.
But-what with Il usual acre
age OF vegetables and field crops.
we can get along.
Corn, the sorghums and other
feed crops, car be planted on the
land usually given over to cotton.
And undoubtedly viii be. regard
less OF legislative activity, If the
price continues where 1t now lies
PROSTATE.
So, If we may venture TO air an
opinion, II would appear the part
OF wisdom and of tolerance asd
consideration for the Valley to LAY
off, a too decided stand on this
cotton acreage reduction proposal,
and acquiesce in any plan favored
by the strictly cotton growing sec
tions OF Texas.
+ Our Valley representatives seem
to feel that way.
And we believe they are right.
ONE THING WE must watch.
II acreage reduction measures are
passed by a special session OF the
legislature, we must beware any
increased acreage in our vegetable
crops.
Or first thing We know. We viii
be having legislation to cut down
our winter crops.
SUMMER TOURISTS came to
the Valley in increased numbers
this summer.
Figures Of the tourist department
Of the local chamber of commerce
show that the tourist registrations
made a gain Of nearly 100 per cent.
That newspaper campaign helped
some.
We all noticed, We are sure. more
automobiles With out-of-the-Valley
license plates.
Many OF them are still here.
Question
When does a. summer tourist"
stop being a summer tourist'7
Is he a summer tourist today.
"fall tourist" tomorrow and a
winter tourist next month?

the Valley" if-the Valley demands
what the Valley makes.
And this campaign sponsored by
the Valley commercial executives
would MAKE the Valley help to
make itself BY using what the
Valley makes.
It's carelessnes. pure and simple.
That is all.
Every housewife in the Valley
would rather use home grown and
home made products-if she gave
the matter a thought.
Every grocery and retail store
would rather sell Valley products
II they gave the matter a thought.
And this campaign is designed
TO make consumer and retailer
