Seen Despite
Slow Pre-Easter
tBy The Associated press

Generally disappointing pre-
Easter retail trade last week vas
tempered BY quickened activity IN
basic industries.
Merchants for the past four
weeks have reported increased busi-
ness. with the exception OF local
conditions that obtained for inter-
mittent periods. but the final drive
before Easter was set back by snow,
rain, cold and dust storms on a
wide front.
Bad weather prevailed the first
half OF the week. but favorable eli
matte conditions during the latter
rart OF the week In many Eases did
not bring sales 10 the peak that
had been expected.
Many sections reported, however.
that retail sales this year we're

total April trade will be suostan-
italy above 1884.

Huntley Warns
Against Unripe
Tomato Loading

HARLINGEN. April 20.-The su1-
gestion OF immature tomatoes to be
avoided in order TO protect the VAL
ley's market for this product has
been made by the Valley Vegetable
Growers association office here in
charge Of Homer p. Huntley, secre-
tary.
Too early shipments of tomatoes
have done material harm to the
market in previous years and every
effort should be made TO prevent
this recurrence. Mr. Huntley said.
His statement was as follows:
A few early tomatoes will be NOV
ed this next week. Again Ve wish
to warn the growers and the ship
perS Of the danger OF shipping i'm
mature tomatoes: regardless Of adj
vice Of some field men who want
tomatoes, growers should not begin
the first picking until there is a
fair showing Of pink tomatoes in
the field. This fact will serve as a
fairly good indicator that the field
has a reasonable amount Of green
wraps ready for market.
If everybody will work together
and avoid shipments of immature
stock, We can make a much better
record for the Lower Rio Grande
Valley tomatoes. The custom of
having U early crop rejected. re-
acts very unfavorsbly and is mex
cuSable. The growers organization
is making an honest effort to ship
a quality tomato and eliminate i'm
mature and inferior grades.
BY all working together on this.
We can avoid these pitfalls and build
up a reputation and get the confid-
ence Of the receivers and the buying
public.
