The Valleys Citrus Industry

Newspaper publishers. shippers and growers Of the
Valley we're represented at a gathering OF the Valley
Press association in Mercedes Friday night At which
the past, present and future Of the citrus industry Of
the section was given a thorough going over. An
nounced as a discussion Of a proposed citrus adver-
Using campaign on behalf Of Valley fruit. IL soon
became apparent that any discussion OF citrus a-
vertsing inevitably leads to a discussion OF the in
dustry in general. When the discussion becomes
general. ii Immediately becomes apparent that in the
opinions Of newspaper men. shippers and growers
who have given any concentrated thought to the
matter. the industry is right now facing a crisis.
Friday nights discussion brought out some salient
facts that certainly give food for much mental
thought on the part Of every citizen Of the Valley.
II was stated. for instance. that during the past
shipping season 66e applications for certificates al
lowing the shipment OF citrus fruit we're made to
the Texas Citrus Control committee by that number
of shippers. OF that ridiculously large number Of
shippers, only SO shipped 10 cars or more.
Continuing the discussion brought about BY this
bit OF information. the opinion was expressed that the
so shippers who shipped 10 or more cars undoubtedly
found their respective markets hurt by the activities
OF the $40 shippers who shipped only N car or
less. Furthermore. the opinion was expressed that
any advertising campaign which attempted to hold
an umbrella" over the entire $50 shipping interests
would react to the harm Of the shippers Of good fruit
Gil 90 Vic H0RA IanbtE oAAAA N1AAa eNAhS s"~
same label OF Texas Grapefruit. and there appeared
to be no way to stop IL.
This one point Is typical Of the difficulties en-
countered by those participating In the discussion
as they attempted to outline any sort OF an adver-
Using campaign for Valley citrus fruit.
One the main point all we're agreed, that Valley
citrus fruit must be advertised If It Is to hold It's
own in the face Of competition not only from the
California and Florida shippers Of fresh fruit, but
IL ii is TO hold its own in the face Of competition
from the manufacturers Of tomato. pineapple. prune
and sauerkraut Juice, to say nothing OF the COMPETE
ton presented from the manufacturers Of grapefruit
Juice and canned grapefruit right here in the Valley.
While ON the face Of II the results OF the attempt
on the part Of the Valley press to assist in the for
mutation Of an advertising campaign may seem most
discouraEing. The Brownsville Herald feels that much
good will come from the conference and the discus
sion flour Valley newspapers. shippers and growers
are brought 10 a realization OF the needs Of the in
dustry and II they are pushed into q careful study
OF the m Of the marketing end Of the
industry.

Secretary Ickes makes q good point py informing
the senate munitions committed that w funds
spent on naval construction produce less employ
ment than a good many other public works under
takings.
This statement has some significance In view OF
the fact that the PwA has allotted some s2Ss.OOo. 600
to naval construction.
The issue here Is not whether we need more war
ships. Considering the uncertain state Of interna-
tional relations, a great many citizens will feel more
comfortable when our fleet Is built up to treaty
strength.
But II we are to do that, why should w not make
straightforward appropriations OF the money need
ed. in the customary fashion?
Money for public works is supposed. primarily. to
increase employment. II naval construction l. not an
especially good way Of attaining that goal. II might be
wise to allot the money somewhere else.

Plenty of Right Food
Will Add Weight
ley DE NORRIS FTsHBEN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association
and Oh Hygeia. the Health Magazine

Some Of my readers have written, pointing out that
] have been discussing proper diets and suitable con-
troll for persons who are overweight. but that I have
said very little TO aid those who arc underweight.
Well, here's the advice they are seeking.
II you are underweight, you should know that
this involves consideration not only Of the food that
you eat, but also your daily habits. Failure to gain
weight may be due to overactivity, or to excessive
smoking, to nervous exhaustion or lack Of sleep.
II you take In enough food with a sufficient amount
Of Galleries, and If this food is properly used In your
body, you should surely gain weight.
Sometime ~. the tissues OF the body burn up the ma
terial too rapidly. In such event you should have a
basal metabolism test to determine the rate Of your
body chemistry, and II the test turns out to be a
high ~plus-that Is to say. u to IS or over-your ply
sician will advise the necessary measures for restor-
ing your body chemistry to q suitable rate.
Sometimes II Is impossible to get people who are
underweight to take suitable amounts Of rest and
relaxation. without putting them in a hospital or a
sanitarium where they are completely under control.
There are. Of course. certain foods which are more
useful in adding weight than others because they pro-
vide large amounts Of so-cslled food value without a
great amount Of bulk. Milk. cream. butter, baCsn,
breads. and vegetables are some foods which provide
large numbers Of calories. and peas, lima beans. rice,
macaroni, and spaghetti are considered to be exceed
ingly useful In diets for gaining weight.
The diets may also be enriched by such substances
as matted milks. dried milks, and olive oil. You may
have to eat something not only at the usual hours
for the three meals daily. but also at 1880 In the
morning, 4 o'clock in the afternoon. and again just
before going to bed.
Above all. you should see that your appetite Is
sustained and that you do not avoid food because Of
lack Of appetite. While overactivity should be avoid
ed, a certain amount OF exercise in the open air Is de-
sirable As q means OF increasing the appetite. The
milder types OF exercise. such az walking and golfing,
are preferable.
Another factor that may be useful In building up
weight because Of improvement OF appetite Is a tenn
porsry visit TO a vacation resort. where you will be
away from business and domestic worries and where
the whole atmosphere Is conducive TO q healthful
type OF living.
