Everybody Talks About the
Weather

There are times when II appears that the attitude
Of the Delta country OF the Rio Grande somewhat
resembles the popular attitude noted by Mark Twain
about the weather. when he said that everybody
talks about the weather but nobody does anything.
And this attitude or the Valley would seems to ap-
ply with particular emphasis 10 the tourist future
cf the country.
All OF uS seem to agree that a great future lies
ahead OF the Valley aS a winter tourist center. we
talk about our climate, about our grapefruit and
oranges. our hunting and fishing and all that sort
Of thing, then drift vaguely off into talk Of an "ad-
v~ertising campaign and o forth and 30 on.
But the things At hand, the things that all of us,
mo matter how humble our position in the sphere
Of things. can dove neglect. Ask the average
winter visitor what impreSses him as he spends his
with his answer. Nine times out OF ten It is the tall
palm trees and the brightly blooming winter flowers.
Yet. how many homes will you find that have a
single palm tree planted against the future. not a
single hibiscus, poinsettia or flame vine with its
CHEEKY note? Plenty.
That is ono thing We may all do to further the
interest Of the Valley az a tourist center. Plant
palms, plant brightly blooming flowers and shrubs
that blossom forth during the winter months. And
then take care Of them. A palm lined main high
way through the Valley has been talked for 20 years.
Had those palms been planted back 20 years ago. the
valley would today have an asset the value OF
which could not be exaggerated.
Perhaps that is too formidable an undertaking, but
surely the setting out Of a palm or two around a
residence lot Ia not such an insurmountable task.
and the planting Of a few Towering shrubs will not
break many backs
The Valley is missing an easy bet when it fails TO
DO these things.

Publicity That Takes

Because he wrote a yarn about the Valley that
does not contain ono single word Of propaganda. =
yarn that touches on the exotic characteristics Of
this section. that hits human element all the way
through. that appeals to the average man and woman
the country over. Sherwood Anderson has contributed
one OF the most valuable pieces Of Valley publicity
we have ever seen.
"A Valley Apart" In the forthcoming issue OF
To-day" win interest valleyites, will interest those
who have never visited this section still more.
