WHEN FARMERS OF THE LOW-
er Rio Grande Valky organise and
fmalte a determined stand to hold up
tiie price-
AH right thinking people are ior
them.
But when they resort to violence
The sentiment swings and they
hurt their own cause.
Naturally it Is difficult in the face
q! an open disregard of what the
farmer is fighting for for the far-
mer to hold his temper—
But it must be done.
Thu. Valley wants no scenes o!
violence such as have taken place
in other farm communities—
The strong pressure of public
opuiion wlil bring victory' to the
farmer in his fight—
If he will temper his determina-
tion with a certain amount of cau-
tion.

THE ARGUMENT THAT TT IS
brtter to give a farmer $4 a ton fer
Ms cabbage than to sec his family
go hungry is no longer valid -
His family will not go hungry—
The same argument was advanc-
ed tor two hundred years is justifi-
cation of starvation wages—
They said—
-It Is better to take 13 a week
than go hungry."
They should have said—“it is
criminal to have to take S3 a week
and still go hungry "
The same is true of cabbage-
Cabbage at $4 a ton is starvation
cabbage.
Pftter U* stop sin oping—stop har-
vesting. and bTing the question to a
point where it must be settled

BUT WE WTSH TO ONCE MORE
call the attention of farmers In the
lower Rio Grande Valley—
To the fact that violence will not
helo their cause.
And that they can win event us llv

To F. D. R.
Belief that $8 000 000 in long-
term loans will be granted tc cit-
rus grove owner* of the Lowe*. Rio
Grande Valley to rehabilitate their
storm-ravaged industry was ex-
pressed Wednesday by Marvin
Goodwin secretary of the Valley
Rehabilitation and Relief Corpora-
tion.
C'oimaUv at Work
In discussing the status Of the
Valley s loan plea with The Her-
ald Mr. Goodwin said that be
and other members o: the relief
organisation feel confident that
the Valley will get $8 000.000 in
loans out of the $40000000 crop
production loan bill just passed
and signed by the President
“I have just received a telegram
from Sen Morns Sheppard in which
he states that he is taking the
matter up with officials of the
Parra credit administration.* Gcod-
wtn said.
The status of the matter at pres-
I ent. including a brief history was
explained by Goodwin as follows:
• We went to Washington to ask
for loans totalling $8000000 to
rehabilitate the storm- .amaged
citrus industry. This was to be
loaned to farmers owning almost
40000 acres of citrus at the rate of
about $216 an acre.
Signed by President
-We found that there was no
agency through which a special
loan of this nature could be han-
dled. so the loan provision was in-
corporated in the crop production
loan bill which appropriated $40-
000.000
• This bill has been passed and
signed by the President. The law
provides that if the president
designates any section as an -emer-
gency area the Farm Credit Ad-
ministrator may make loans in
excess of the regular maximums
set. using his discretion in the
matter.
*We expect the President to
designate the Valley as an emer-
gency area and feel confident that
he will do this in view of the
situation here as a result of the

ON DUMPINGS
FROM HARM
Texas Urged to Eat
Own Superior
Oranges
A move which hi expected to
assume state-wide pi opartlons to in-
duce Texas people to buy Taxaa-
grown citrus fruit was under way in
the Lower Rio Grand# Valley
Thursday.
Definite action Is to be taken at
the next meetings of citrus and
shippers organization^. chambers of
commerce farm meetings and etvir
club meetings in an effort to get
the campaign under way rapidly.
Appeals art to be broadcaai over
Texas.
Orangea Ready to Ship
‘*We have hers In the valley
about 300 carloads of fine Valencia
oranges Just getting ready to stop**
declared Marvin Goodwin of Mis-
sion one of the forces to back of
the campaign. “This fruit cannot be
sold at a lair price in. competition
with 'the low-grade .fruit which
Florid* Is dumping on ail the big
citrus markets of T#x*s. So our only
hope is to to appeal to the Jobbers
retailers business men's organte-
tions and all other organizations
and individuals to Texas to buy our
fruit.**
Goodwin pointed out that to adk-
mg the state to buy Texas orange#
the Valley is asking them to do
something for their own good—for
they are “getting a decidedly infe-
rior fruit to the Florida product."
“All the business men of Houston.
San Antonio. Fort Worth and Della#
need do is take enough interest in
the 300.000 people of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley to encourage the pur-
chase of Texas fruit." Goodwin con-
tinued. “This Valley spends thou-
sands of dollars yearly with those
business men. and we are entitled
to their aid."
Inferior Florida Fruit
Belief was expressed Texas will
consume the 300 carloads of Valen-
cia oranges if the Florida fruit is
kept out of competition. The Val-
ley has moved several hundred car-
loads of oranges to Texas markets
already this season.
Goodwin said he will bring the
matter up immediately before gath-
erings of citrus growers shippers
and others and expecta the cam-
paign to get under way.
Various chambers of commerce tn
the Valley when interviewed about
the matter today by The Herald
stated they would immediately get
into action.
