EARLY CITRUS
FROM FLORIDA
FLOWI_ I
Citrus Commission Is
Appointed to Make
Fruit Conform To
Maturity Act
(Special to Tb« Herald)
HARLINGEN. Sept 20 — Valley
fears that the market might be
hurt by the shipment of Immature
Florida grapefruit have been al
layed.
Although the first shipments went
out unrestricted, the governor has
now appointed the Florida Citrus
Commission as provided for under
a new state law passed some months
ago. Delay by the governor In nam
ing the commission resulted In early
shipments leaving the state with
out being subjected to requirements
of the new law.
Strict Enforcement
Practically the first act of the
new commission was to place the
new maturity laws Into effect. Since
enforcement will be strict, it is be
lieved in Florida that green fruit
shipments have ceased for good.
Consideration is being given by
the commission to a national ad
vertising campaign which it is em
powered under the law to carry out.
An advertising tax of one cent a
box on oranges and three cents a
box on grapefruit would provide
$400,000 for advertising purposes
this season. The Florida citrus in
dustry confidently expects national
advertising to increase consumption
and help raise prices generally.
Besides the advertising assess
ment, a two cent per box charge
for maturitv tests will be made.
- Even when tests are not applicable,
a one-cent inspection charge will
be made.
All Florida citrus not grading U.
8. No. 1 or 2 will be unclassified
and must be marked ‘•culls."
The commission has ~o power to
regWate shipments bv volume and
cannot aay what fruit (except un
ripe) can or cannot leave the state
although it can compel shippers to
label shipments by grades, ’pro
rating of shipments must be at
tended to by a control committee
working with the sec’-etarv of seri
culture, and a move for such a body,
which It Is expected would
operate heartily with the stu e com
mission, is now in progress.
Maturity Aet Stricter
The new maturitv act provides
juice tests and grapefruit must ba
at least 2 1-2 tf 13 per cent juicier
than under the old maturity law.
The sugar acid ratio also has been
raised from * to 1 to 7.5 to 1.
The board also has the color
added act to work with which pro
vides that consumers will get only
a superior brand of fruit If “color
added" is stamped on the orange.
Only fruit better than -verage can
be colored artificially. Added color
has been under fire In several states
Irhlch fear that artificial colorint
is used merely to cover Inferior
quality.
The Growers Cost Act is Intended
to stop all traffic In citrus fruit
when prices vre below production
eosts. The aet is technical and U is
hoped In Florida that it will never
need to be considered seriously.
Tampico Man Looks
Over Port Project
The port of Brownsville should
result In Increased business for the
port of Tampico. Mexico, in the
opinion of A. Valdez Gomez, presi
dent of the Tampico Chamber of
Commerce, who was a visitor he:e
Friday.
Mr. Gomez visited ports at Gal
veston. Houston, and Corpus Chrlstl.
and came here Friday, calling at
the chamber of commerce, and
looking over the port and airport
with Arthur Hipp. city commissioner
and head of the Desel-Boettcher
company here.
The Tampico official pointed out
that lower freight rates to the port
of Tampico will undoubtedly be
granted when the por here Is
completed.
He was optimistic about the future I
of the Brownsville port, expressing
the belief it would get much of the
Mexican tonnage now moving out
through other Texas ports because
of It* proximity to the border.

By WILLIAM S. HOWLAND
Central Press Correspondent
NASHVILLE, Sept 20. — Once
again a man named Lee is leading
the armies of the Southern Confed
eracy to meet the armies of the Un
ion at Gettysburg!
The very names cause tingles to
course along southern spines, al
though it has been three score years
and ten since the Stars and Bars of
the “Lost Cause" were folded over
the last battlefield.
But the Lee who leads the Con
federacy today is not “Marse Robert"
of Virginia, long since gone to
"fame s eternal camping ground.”
Instead, the Lee now in command is
General Harry Rene Lee, of Ten
nessee. named commander of the
United Confederate Veterans at the
recent reunion of the Graya
A Final Reunion
And the Gray armies he Is leading
on to Gettysburg are going, not to
do turtle with the Blue, but instead
to meet the thinning survivors of
the Grand Army of the Republic in
a joint and perhaps final ic'inion on
the fields once soaked Vith the blood
of so many thousands of their com
rades. The reunion will be held in
1938.
Pennsylvania issued the invitation,
which the Confederate veterans ac
cepted. The Orand Army of the Re
public, meeting the other day in
■Grand Rapids. Mich., also accepted,
after it had voted down a resolution
which would have required the
southern veterans to promise not to
display the Stars, and Bars at Get
tysburg.
In the meantime, the armies of the
Confederacy will be taking their
orders from a Lee — no relation to
General Robert E. Lee — who has no
more surrendered to the onward
march ol years than he ever did to
the foe during three years of fight
ing under the Stars and Bars or six
more years under the Union Jack of
Greaf Britain.
Going on 90 vers of age. this Gen
eral Lee still is straight as a ram
rod and still puts in his full day's
work at the Tennessee pension
board. Furthermore, he walks two
miles to work and two miles back
again every day that the weather is
fit for anyone except ducks. No get
ting soft for General Lee—no siree.

had to watch his big brothers and :
father go marching off to the tunes
of "Dixie” while he remained home.
The following year, however, men
were getting scarcer for the Gray

After the war. life In Nashville was
too tame for the young soldier, so
off he sailed to Join the queen’s navy.
In which he served six years. He
served with the present King George

the British and Italian fleets are

Mustered out of the British navy,
he returned to Nashville and until
two years ago served as a proof
