For q good many years II seemed that the much
talked-of Valley cooperation consisted in every
body demanding that the other fellow follow him.
Times change. necessity perhaps having born a
twin brother to invention.
Al any rate. we find that II Is possible for growers
and shippers to cooperate. besides which the enscon-
cling Of the lion along side Of the lamb is a mere
nothing.
Latest example comes in the Wilacy county onion
deal. which finds shippers and growers anxious to
take the speculation out and put fair returns IT.
Congratulations are due growers and shippers and

Julia Cameron Montgomery

one who labored long and faithfully for the best
interests OF the Lower Rio Grande Valley has gone
to her final reward, to the place where there are no
disappointments. where the journalistic 80" is never
written. where there is no desdline to meet.
For Is years Julia Cameron Montgomery was in
the Valley. Perhaps it could be said more appro-
priately that the Valley was lin" Mrs. Montgomery.
For during those l6 years her one thought. the
nnimatinE impulse that guided her every action was
the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Associated with her brother. r. 4. Montgomery. In
the publication Of the monthly magazine. "Montys
Monthly. she dedicated that publication to the best
interests Of the Valley and reaffrrmed that dedication
with its every issue.
From the first, Mrs. Montgomery interested her
self in the promotion OF the citrus industry Of the
section and through her efforts the fame OF the
Valleys premier product became nation wide even
In the days when citrus marketing was even more
haphazard than at present
First formal state recognition of the fruit and veg
etable industry OF the Valley came about as a result
Of the sole efforts Of Mrs. Montgomery and her
brother when the Valley Fruit and Vegetable Week
was staged in Houston back in the early 2Os. And
It may truly be said that the first real recognition
OF Houston interests IN the Valley dates from that
week and that the close cooperation displayed BY
Houston In the interest OF the Valley results at least
In part from those pioneering efforts Of Mrs. Mont
Romery.
Firmly oelleVlng tnat the Nalley should take ad-
vantage Of its natural resources and exploit them
10 the limit. Mrs. Montgomery some years ago inau-
gurated the Rose Cup" competition. awarding an
nually the beautiful token to that Valley city or
town which displayed the most improvement in civic
appearance during the preceding IL months.
Passing Of the years failed to dim the fire Of en-
thusiasm OF MRS. Montgomery for the Valley, IN fact,
each succeeding year found her with still more and
greater ambitions for the section 10 which she dedi-
Gated her ifes efforts.
In her passing. the Valley has lost a great and
true friend. a real citizen. a leader Of that peculiarly
altruistic type whose place will be hard to FIJI.
