at least 28 Texans died from ac-
cidents.
All but six of the tentative
total cliea irom gunfire. Five
drowned and one died of a bro-
ken neck sustained in a fall
from a deer stand in a tree.
At least six other persons died
from heart attacks attributed to
ever exertion while hunting.
The'Chief Clerk said the total
for the last season would ap-
proximate that of the previous
season when at least 35 were
listed as having died from as-
sorted causes including heart at-
tacks.
The number v/ounded during
the recent season was estimated
at “in excess of 50.”
The Chief Clerk said the totals
to date show that 13 hunters
died from self-inflicted wounds
and that seven were killed by
guns handled by others.
In addition, one hunter was
mistaken for a turkey, dying
from a shot through the headv

The Chief Clerk observed that,
while the casualty total remained
high, the number of accidents
from hunters being mistaken for
game appeared to be less than
usual.
The seven fatal wounds which
were self-inflicted included such
common causes as leaning on
the gun barrel, crawling through
a fence, removing a gun from a
car, barrel first, and striking the j
butt end of a
ground.

Mr. A. I. Waters, cooperating
with the San Patricio Soil Con-
servation District, has planted
about 25 acres of Hubam clover
and oats, which he is grazing.
His farm is located about 7 miles
west of Sinton.
Carey Eads, whose farm is be-
tween Sinton and Odem, and C.
E. White, located west of Odem,
have run their KR seed that they
stripped last summer through a
Hammermill so that it may be
planted with a cotton planter.
By running _ the Hammermill
slowly and using a 14-inch screen
the seed will not be damaged and
yet the unthreshed heads and
stems will be ground up so that
there will be no large particles,
j After processing, the seed' was
sent to a laboratory for a com-
plete analysis so that the seed
may be sold for planting pur-
poses. About 450 lbs. of seed
were processed.
R. E. Marburger of West Sin-
ton has purchased a sandy land
farm about 8 miles west of Sin-
ton and is putting it in shape
to seed to Buffel and Birdwood
grass. He is having the brush
removed and plans to have an
earthen tank dug so that his
milking Shorthorn cattle will not
have to walk too far for water.
Mr. Marburger said he needed
a farm with a sandy soil type
for his cattle, especially in wet
weather when his blackland farm
gets very muddy.
Dave Odem is preparing about
150 acres of land along the
Nueces river near old San Pa-
tricio to seed to Buffel grass.
Odem is hoping that Buffel grass
is the grass for this deep sand
ancf from observations made to
date, it does very good on deep
sands.

Tito Guizar (above), singing star
of stage, screen, rad#o and tele-
vision, will be starred during the
San Antonio Livestock Exposition
rodeo, Feb. 15-24. Guizar and his
“Magic Guitar” have won inter-
national acclaim.
Top Entertainer
To Be Shown
At Exposition
Tito Guizar, who rode his~
“magic guitar” to international
stardom, will be starred at the
third annual San Antonia Live-
stock Exposition. Guizar will be
a featured entertainer at the 14
world’s championship rodeo per-
formances to be staged during
the 10-day shot at Bexar County
Coliseum, Feb. 15-24.
Mexico’s favorite son and four
times winner of her motion pic-
ture academy award for his role
in “El Rancho Grande” and other
Mexican movies, Guizar is now
a star of stage, screen, radio and
television in the United States.
He is winning international ac-
claim through his gifted inter-
pretations of native Mexican and
Latin medodies.
Citing Guizar’s soaring popu-
larity, Livestock Exposition of-
ficials said they considered them-
selves particularly fortunate in.
having been able to sign the star
for the San Antonio show.
The popular singer has not
only won musical fame, but he
also has been one of Mexico’s
outstanding amateur athletes and
sportsmen. Tito played in the
Davis Cup tennis matches in
Mexico City in 1932 and, in ad-
dition, won Mexico’s amateur
middleweight boxing champion-
ship and fought some of the best
boxers that country and South
America have produced.
Other top-flight featured pre-
sentations also will be signed
for appearance during the rodeo.
