to the people of

Kant products of

>tbe fruit, if the crop
jjofweived, must be eat-
!?• or preserved for
Ljise. Jflany fruit farmers
iriessee (probably there
Ifajfrumber in Texas
id Upon their straw-
berries for a substantial part of
their annual income. The mer-
chants may advertise straw-
berries to sell but it is difficult
to make the people understand
that ihe strawberry season is
short, and if strawberries are
to be preserved they must be
bought right now, while the
fruit is plentiful and prices are
reasonable. If the merchants
advertise this, the truth of the
fact is made less impressive be-
cause they have something to
se'l. The newspaper may pro-
claim it with greater certainty
that the truth will sink in, for
the newspaper has no strawber-
ries to sell and is acting merely
from a sense of civic duty.
"Let's buy strawberries and
make a home market for our
people." says the newspaper.
This might well be paraphrased
"Let's buy our home manufac-
turer's and home products and
help make a market for our peo-
nle." This is the crux of the
lesson; this is the purpose that
should direct the local consumer
when making his purchases.
Sticking to the strawberry
Top, which is becomming im-
portant to many fruit growers
in Texas, the same advice may
be given here that is given in
Tennessee: Strawberries as a
ripe fruit do not last long. The
market is now supplied with
strawberries and the prices are
reasonable. Buy a crate of
strawberries and make preser-
ves. Sugar is priced reasona-
bly low. Eat strawberries for
breakfast instead of grapefruit
oranges and prunes, which come
mostly from other states. If
you buy strawberries grown in
Texas you make it possible for
a lot of persons to earn money
picking berries, you give en-
couragement to the fruit grow
-rs and you help the cause of
diversification.
FEDDELL GARAGE BURNS
Tuesday night the garage be-
longing to G. P. Redd ell was
completely destroyed by fire.
The fire was caused, we un-
derstand when Newton Gore
and Mr. Reddell were searching
for some tools with a lighted
match and passed too close to
a pan of gasoline which imme-
diately flamed up and enveloped
the entire building.
Newton had a narrow escape
from being burned to death
when he sought to leave the
building.—Alba Herald.
