A Merger of Citrus CO.. Operatives

Revived talk Of a possible merger Of some Of the
too many citrus co-operatives handling the Valleys
citrus crop reviyeS hope that the citrus marketing
problems Of this section mag be worked out before
the opening of another marketing season.
II Is an open secret that the past season brought
anything but pleasure and profit to growers and ship
pers alike. and II is a further open secret that If

disaster and generalization face the citrus industry
OF the Valley.
The Brownsville Herald realizes that there are many
tender toes likely 10 be tread upon in any discussion
Of merging co-operatives. or If any discussion OF a
unified plan OF citrus marketing. for that matter.
But The Herald does feel that the time has come
for these toes TO be tread upon. If that is necessary
to insure the future Of the citrus industry Of the
Valley. The citrus industry is more than that. II
Is the future Of the Valley in a very real sense. Ask
any one who has sod farm land in the Valley II the
prospect Of raising citrus has not been the main SELL
ing point throughout the years Of the Valleys de-
yelopment.
Not a tourist who comes 10 this section but wants

away from here but leaves Boosting OF the high
quality Of Valley grapefruit. Not a person whom
has tasted that fruit. whether in or out Of the VAL
ley. but sings the praises Of this section as the pro-
ducer Of the best favored fruit in the world.
Citrus Is necessary to our continued development If
for not other reason than its value as a talking point.
The Valley cannot let the citrus industry die. can
not let il lapse.

Although doctors are divided over the cause Of
kidney stones. they're agreed about one %thing-that
mere removal Of the stones is not enough to cure
the malady.
To prevent other stones from forming. even after
removal. every tiny piece of gravel that may be
present must be cleaned out, because these may de-
velop into larger stones.
Furthermore, If infection is present. that must be
cleaned up before the operation can be regarded as
completed. II there are any distractions in the
urinary tract or kinks OF various kinds, these should
be Strengthened out. and any other constructing
points should be eliminated.
Stones in the kidney can be discovered easily BY
use Of the X-ray. after which surgery can be en-
ployed.
After an operation Of this kind, the doctor should
table foods. with plenty Of vitamin A, that will help
prevent recurrence OF this ailment.
This Is the generally accepted procedure I'm the
case Of kidney stones, though the medical profession
is divided over causes Of the disease.
One group Of investigators believes that the stones
are the result Of infections and that the invading
organisms are the center around which the stones
form.
Another group is convinced that stones form be-
cause there are distractions TO the free flow Of fluid
from the kidney and that distractions Of the
passages at any point set up conditions in which in
lection Is simple and formation OF stone likely.
A number Of investigators feel that errors Of diet
are primarily responsible. particularly a deficiency Of
vitsmin A. The idea is that this deficiency brings
about a weakness in the tissues lining the paths in
the urinary tract, and that portions Of tissue which
slough off form the center for the stones.
There are Others who believe that the stones are
caused BY abnormal products developed in the excre-
ton from the kidney. Some feel that formation Of
stones in the kidney is related to disturbances Of the
actions of various glands which are involved in the
manner in which the body takes care Of calcium and
phosphorus in the diet.
This is particularly true of the parathyroid gland.
Overaction Of this gland will withdraw calcium from
the bones. Underaction leads to a wrong use Of
calcium BY the body.

None So Blind

Whatever the exact wording Of the quotation in
question. it's effect runs something like this
There arc none so blind as those who will not see"
In other words, you cannot convince a man who
will not be convinced. who adopts the attitude Of GER
tain pupils in our schools who sit back and literally
dare their instructors to teach them anything.
You cannot convince those of this class. for in
stance. that things are getting better. that the up
grade in business has been reached. Figures mean
nohing in their young lives. They would rather car
~ the chip Of a crouch on their shoulder. They
revel In hard times and now that good times are on
the way. they feel out OF place.
Actual statistics on record with city building i'm
~spectors the Valley over. for instance. show that
homes and business properties are being erected In
greater number right now than at any time since the
flush years Of 1923 and 1929. Lumber yards report
that more repair and remodeing jobs are under way
These records. these figures. these statistics. mean
nothing to those OF the class that will not see. For
years they have been thriving on the depression
Unable TO gain a place in the sun Of achievement
they have assumed a dubious leadership Of the forces
that maintain that everything is headed for the dem
