(Special to The Herald)
8AN BENITO Feb. 17 —Auction
. prices for Valley grapefruit are con-
- aistently higher than those for Ariz-
ona or Florida fruit even more
so than in past seasons according
to C. D. Kirk of Lovett Sc Kirk one
of the largest Independent factors in
the Valley deal.
He attributes the better auction
prices for Valley fruit to the in-
creased demand for grapefruit from
this section. The markets are being
educated to the quality of Valley
fruit he said.
k The prices are not always higher
‘but consistently so in market re-
* ports.
„ Valley pink grapefruit top6 the
. best price for Texas fruit from 25
cents to more than a dollar a box
depending on the market and ether
factors. Florida offerings receive
second best prices on the suction
-markets while Arizona .represented
more frequently than heretofore. Is
running a bad third. Mr. Kirk said
that Arizona and California grape-
. fruit lacked Juice content which
made them less desirable.
- Most of the Valley fruit crop has
moved and Mr Kirk predicts that
'grapefruit will be scarce by March
II although shipments may continue
under exislting quarantine regula-
tions until April 30 Mtxt of the
crop left consists of oranges the
larger part of which will go to
I nearby Texas markets.
The movement has noticeably de-
creased.

ness I believe the government

Foresees Unification
%
Unification of the banking sys-
tem was forecast by this speak r
who declared that perfection meant
concentration but not necessarily
with any danger to democracy. He
defined democracy as "keeping the
avenue open from the bottom to
the top so that those who are de-
serving may ascend.”
Instead of inflation held up as a
bugaboo by economists me have had
deflation. Owens said "file dollar
was worth two or threj hundred
cents and Roosevelt brought it down
to 100 cents. You would not call
that inflation but deflation" Ownes
declared.
He further delivered himself of
the observation that the depres-
sion was not the main cause for
bank closings. Some 1.800 banks
i closed the year or so preceding the
depression he said
In Accord With
The Dallas banker said he was m
accord with everything the Presi-
dent had done and oupported the
idea o( a * brain trust” to advise
the administration.
He predicted that the present
generation would look back and
egard this as the biggest revolu
tion the nation ever saw.
Owens made numerous refer-
ences to the Bible and it was point-
ed out frerr. the floor that he had
preached a pretty good sermon
while Rev. Leslie A. Boone. Har-
lingen Methodist .had made a fine
I talk on banking.
Rev. Boone was inclined to be-
I lieve that the indivdual had some
responsibility for banking stability
as well as the banks themselves.
He urged the bankers to re-edu-
cate the public t oregard themselves
as the guardians of thc.r own for-
tunes. He urged tlso a return to
persona! values; where a man's
worth is determined by what he
produces and not because of social
standing or other attributes
D E. Blackburn vice president
of the Victoria Bank and Trust Co.
and president of the state associa-
tion. spoke frankly and. some of
them thought rather harshly to
his fellow bankers fwhom he ac-
cused of having thought too much
•bout building up volume than
sound banking. He referred also
to the necessity for doing some-
thing about the increase in rank
robberies.
