WAR BUYING |

NEW YORK—Business man-
agers adjusted factory schedules
to a lower scale of production Sat-
urday but hopefully scanned the
spring outlook for signs of another
wave of war-stimulated buying.
Well-maintained retail demand
for goods despite difficulties of
shopping in the bitter weather en-
couraged industrialists to expect
quick consumption of stocks ac-
cumulated id recent months.
Meanwhile, evidence multiplied
that industry generally was in a
let-down from the tremendous surge
of buying in textiles, steel and other
lines during the early months of
the war.
In steel, focal point of the reviv-
ing heavy industries, operations
were reduced this week tn 77.3 per
cent of capacity compared with a
peak of 94.4 in December. Trade re-
ports forecast a further shrinkage1
at some steel centers next week (
A similar drop in n -dcr backlogs
was noted for textile and other
industries sharing in the initial war
boom.

HARLINGEN — Belief that "Vai-
ley Meat Week” to be staged be-
ginning Monday, will do much to
promote Valley consumers' pre-
ference for Valley-fed meat and
i increase in stock
feeding in this area, was express-
ed here Saturday by John McKel-
vey, one of the operators of the
Southwestern Packing Company
plant in Harlingen, which is aid-
ing in sponsorship of greater stock
feeding activity in the Valley.
In Harlingen, Mayor Hugh
Ramsey has issued proclamation
for "Valley Meat Week.” urging
Valley citizens to call for Vai .y
meats during the week to stimulate
increased activity in the industry.
There is little question that Vai-1
ley-fed meat is the equal of the
best shipped into thia section, lead-
ers explain; and local consumers,
by calling for the home-grown
product during the week can prove
this to themselves.
Auction Results Good
Fat stock bought by Valley
banks, merchants, markets, and in-;
dividuals during the auction staged
at the Valley Mid-Winter Fair
brought excellent prices, it was
pointed out Saturday, with 4-H
club and F F A. boys as well as
adult stock feeders realizing nice
profits on their feeding porgrams.
Much of this stock will be sold
at retail in the Valley this week.

Traek Holding,! Up
■ ■ — ------ Track holdings of grapefruit went
up again Saturday in the face of
heavy salvage shipments from Flor-
ida. Loadings were down again
Friday with Texas shipping 75 cars
and Florida 49 but trackholdings
were up to 152. the highest since
January 22 when they were 196
Track holdings were down as low
as 84 cars Thursday. A Florida em-
bargo went into effect Thursday
for a week to prevent shipment of
frozen fruit.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture weather bureau issued a report
for the period ending January 30
in which it was stated Florida had
■ the most severe freeze in 25 years
and that unharvested oranges, rep-
resenting more than half the total
crop, tangerines and grapefruit were
nearly a total loss. Temperatures
ranged from 15 to 22 degrees in
citrus areas there and 18 to 27 de-
grees in truck crop sections.
Valley Damage Light
Citrus trees were drought shock-
ed in Florida and were in semi-
dormant condition with no tender
growth and they probably weather-
ed the freeze with comparatively
little wood damage although severe
defoliation is expected, it u*as said.
The report said Valley citrus ap-
parently was not harmed as much
