More Than Half Of
World Supply

WASHINGTON, June 10. R1-
Official records disclosed Monday
that the government LIS potential
owner of more than half Of the
worlds supply Of American cotton.
Through the 10 and IN cent loans
ON the 1888 and 1884 crops, advances
totaling $3i5.6 22, 370.02 were made on
q total CT 6.0Ol ,649 bales. Much OF
this money was advanced by ranks
and private agencies, but under the
loan program, the government has
guaranteed the loans.
The loan due date recently was
extended fom July until February I,
1896. and should the loans be un-
paid on that date, title To the more
than 6,0O0.0 900 bales would revert to
the government.
The world carry-over Of American
cotton August 1. 1894, was reported

While expressing belief that the
problem would be solved satisfac-
torily, some AAA officials acknow-
lodged that the question might be-
come serious. and the government
might find itself confronted with
the same situation which brought
much criticism to the old farm
board.

duced In the world, therefore. we
have a splendid foundation for pub
licity work. Based on q population
OF approximately LIS 900. 900 In con-
tinental United States. the average
per capita consumption Is something
less than ten grapefruit annually,
and II this per capita consumption
could be increased to fifteen grape
fruit annually, an actual shortage Of
this fruit would result. IL Is by
no means a stretch of the imAgtna-
ton TO say that net returns to grow
ers would be Immediately and sub
stantially increased thereby. Not
only would growers receive cost OF
production but a substantial profit
In addition thereto, which they so
rightfully deserve and 50 badly need.
The United States Is by far the
worlds largest producer Of grape
f. and IL for no other reason, we
should then be the worlds largest
per capita consumers OF grapefruit.
While the export demand for grape
fr IL should not be overlooked. let us
consider the following statistics that
have to do with the possibility for
foreign consumption as compared
to American consumption as referred
to In the preceding paragraph.
In the seven years from 1928
season to 1933-34 season, the United
States produced an average of 49,
982. 400 boxes Of grapefruit. During
the same period Porto Rico. the
worlds second largest grower OF
grapefruit. produced an average of
$4,000 boxes, or only $50 OF hat
Of the United States.
The Isle Of Pines, which ranks
third In grapefruit output. produc-
ed an average Of 220,700 boxes for the
seven years ending with the season
l933-34. The three largest produc-
e-s OF grapefruit are countries Of the
British Empire. Dr. r under Brit
ish mandate. They are South Africa,
Jamaica and the Palestine. The
production Of grapefruit In the coun-
tries mentioned for the seven years
ending in l933-34 shows an average
increase OF more than 1907 yer the
preceding years.
There are other competitive grape
fruit producing areas In the world
which have more economical access
70 foreign consuming markets. par
ticularly the United Kingdom.
Grapefruit Is produced in substan-
tial quantities In not only Porto
Rico. the Isle Of Pines. Jamaica and
the Palestine but in the Philippine
Islands. South Africa, Mexico, Aus
tralia, Trinidad and other countries
including several republics in South
America.
With this tremendous increase In
available world supplies OF grape
fruit, 1t is clear that We must first
build up demand for u fruit In
continental United States and Can
ada in order to bring about security
for grapefruit producers in this
country and more particularly. grow
ers In the Rio Grande Valley OF
Texas. To accomplish this we must
make known In every manner pos
sible to the consuming public III our
own country and Canada. the merits
Of Texas grapefruit and in addition

The Rio Grande Valley Citrus
Growers Exchange has committed
itself to an advertising program In
the interests Of Valley citrus in
duStry as a whole and Of course, more
particularly in the interest Of Ex-
change grower members. While
much has been done and written In
various and sundry ways, ii must be
agreed that very little has actually
been accomplished up to the present
time along this line. The Exchange
Board Of Directors and growers are,
without exception, In agreement that
an intensive consumer advertising
program plus sales promotion and
dealer service work, Is Of such vital
importance as to demand prompt
attention and vigorous handling on
the part Of everyone interested in
Rio Grande Valley citrus fruit. The
need for investment In advertising Is
apparent TO all. therefore, undivid-
ed support should be forthcoming
Immediately that some organization
or group Of either growers or ship
pers, or both, VIII assume the reSpon-
sibility Of leadership.
The Exchange. being the largest
single shipper of citrus in the VAL
ley, attempted, with the assistance
Of q few other shippers, to assume
this responsibility in the summer OF
1884. The history and results Of this
move need not be recounted herein
as everyone is familiar with what
happened. Now the Exchange feels
1t should make another attempt and
will do so with or without the CO.
operation and support Of non-Ex-
change shippers and growers, even
though by no process Of reasoning
can 1t be said that the Exchange
family Of growers should carry the
entire load financially and other
wise Of this much needed investment.
Assuming that an advertising pro-
gram for Texas grapefruit as a COM
modify will be set up in the immedi-
ate future. we must then answer
satisfactorily the following questions,
which are Of prime importance:
/. Through what medium shall
funds be accumulated for the pur-
pose OF investment in such publicity
work?
2. Should an advertising commit
tee. or other governing body. be Sc
lected OF elected and incorporated
for this purpose?
3. Shall an attempt be made
through state legislation or shall IL
be voluntary on the part Of all pro-
ducers and-or shippers?
4. What amount per package, or
other unit. should be the basis Of
accommodating such funds?
5. Shall such an advertising pro-
gram be National or Regional in
scope?
The Exchange Is prepared to meet
with any group Of growers and ship
pers or others interested in this mat
ter for the purpose OF analyzing and
answering these and other questions
pertinent to the accomplishment Of
the desired results.
The Rio Grande Valley OF Texas
produces a substantial quantity Of
grapefruit and oranges. The quality
Of our fruit Is second to none pro-
