The Valley Vegetable Growers
Association

More significant than any editorials, more potent
than any speech, is the fact that upwards Of 5000
Valley farmers and their antilles attended the an
nuRl picnic Of the Tri-County Vegetable Growers as
ISOLATION held at Harlingen Thursday.
When that many residents OF the Valley turn out
to any function Of any Valley organization, that or
Ranization may be said to be q real outfit, having
real support from its members.
Work done by the association during the past year
~justifies the assumption that it is here to stay and
TO take a recognized part in the Valley set-up. Prog
ress made toward lower freight rates, efforts to main
tain q minimum price. legislative activity, all have
more than justified the existence Of the Vegetable
Growers association and all have brought benefits TO
the individual members thereof.
Perhaps more important than any other one thing
Is the spirit OF cooperation which Is developing be-
tween growers, members Of the association and the
association itself, and shippers OF the Valley. For
years progress was made impossible due TO the in
ability OF grower and shipper to work together. Not
that 1t has been found possible for these two ele-
ments Of our citizenry to work to the same ends,
progress is being made.

Citrus Control

Once again California comes 70 the front and gives
the rest Of the citrus producing sections ground for
considerable thought. .-...-.-
Recent news dispatches have told OF the decision
Of leading independent shippers Of that state and
Arizona to stick by the A rules and regulations
under which the citrus industry operated the past
season, even though it is taken for granted that these
rules and regulations have been knocked into a cock
ed hat by the NRA DECISION Of the Supreme Court.
OF course, 1t must Be realized that California has
q great advantage over the other citrus producing
sections in that the great bulk Of its citrus tonnage
Is concentrated in one organization, the California
Citrus Growers exchange. But even at that, ship
pers Of the state realize that just a few running wild
through an uncertain market can raise hob with
prices.
So the state decides that the industry needs regu-
htion and the industry itself decides what the regu-
Ation shall be.
Some Of these days both Florida and Texas are
going To profit by the experience Of California, and
when that day comes Florida and Texas citrus grow
srs and shippers viii be in the money.
Until that day comes. California growers and ship
pers will be In the money. with the rest Of us on the
outside, very much on the outside, looking ~wistfuly

Less Food For Thought

II. following noon, YOU have an important confer
ence to attend. or some difficult work to complete,
don't eat too much. Your brain win be slowed up"
and. as a result, you won't be Of much good at the
conference or at the particular task you had laid out
for yourself.
Too heavy a meal, says, DR.. Donald A. Laird Of Col
gate University, draws most Of the blood to the stom-
ach. for the work Of digestion. and SO deprives the
brain OF the blood it needs for thought.
In fact, DR.. Laird has discovered that the brain
responds less quickly to stimuh and that its &C
curacy decreases by four times In proportion to It's
slowness Of response.
In other words, your brain Is almost asleep after q
heavy luncheon. Maybe you'd want 1t so. for a good
siesta. but II you do, you'd better do all your brain
work in the morning.

Labor. for instance. can deal more

a small industry than it can with a

New Wage Plan

It Is an interesting plan which the Nunn-Bush shoe
factory Of Milwaukee has established for its 700
workers. From now on. these workers will draw 81
pay checks a year. regardless Of whether business is
good or bad.
The size OF the checks. OF course, viii depend on
the company,s income. Workers and management
have reached an agreement as to the percentage Of
each dollars income which is to 60 to pay checks, and
, 1935-06-28

a fixed proportion Of profits win be set aside and dis
tributed as a bonus when business In good.
Here seems to be a healthy step In the direction
of the assured annual income. The workers pay
may drop pretty low, at times. under such q plan-but
at least it viii keep on coming through.
It ought to be an excellent scheme for cushioning
the wage-earner against depressions.
