Fishin’ with Flury
I
BY A1 Flury
Just got back from treating
Lake Bentsen in Bentsen State
F*ark, 8 miles southwest of Miss-
is. The lake had been pumped
dtfwn to about 10 of 12 acres
and we applied a chemical to kill
all the fish in the water. The
fishes gills are paralyzed and they
suffocate but remain good to eat.
iftie idea of this work is to kill
all the fish where they are too
many gar, buffalo or perch and
tjjen a few months later we plant
bass and perhaps perch and cat-
fish because they are more desir-
able for sport an deating. By
the end of next year Lake Bent-
sen should be about 100 acres of
number 1 bass fishing.
y Apparently the catfish in Lake
Corpus Christi haven’t found out
that the lake has gone back down
t onormal level and they are still
biting. Several good strings of
ttfue and channel cat were caught
by fishermen out of Dot’s Camp.
The largest of the fish were about
8 to 10 lbs. Two opelousas catfish
about 5 lbs. each were also
*caught. One fisherman from Gris-
ham’s camp got a 20 lb. blue.
Mrs. Lacey reported that fish
fcwere still biting good and quite a
few fish had been caught on soap
and shad and some cut gar. L.
J. Raska and son from Sinton
caught 65 lbs. of bluecat weighing
up to 11 lbs. The R. V. Forsyth

party from Big Springs had 39
fish weighing up to 6 lbs. each.
Alvin Woods and his wife from
San Antonio got 25 lbs. of blue-
cat up to about 8 lbs. George
Mitchell from Corpus fished a
tight line in water about knee
deep and got 45 lbs. Many fish
were being caught in the daytime
and rod and reel fishing for gas-
pas.gou (fresh water drum) was
pretty good. Mrs. Clines at the
State Park boat dock reported
quite a few good catches. The
Arthur Voigt party from San
Antonio had caught 499 lbs. in
about a week and a half of fish-
ing. I saw a good part of these
fish myself and there were some
beauties. Voigt fishes just a few
feet off the bottom in the main
body of the lake and uses cut
bait. E. C. Huffman of Freer
got a 9 pounder, J. D. Gibson of
Corpus, a 10 and several smaller
ones, W. H. Kale of Alice had
a 6 pounder, J. D. Pierce had a
9 and ap 8 pound bluecat and
James Lowe of Beeville got a 6
pounder and 9 others about 2 1-2
lb. G. G. Geesie and E. D. Foster
from Freer got about> 50 lbs. in
two nights fishing, the ’largest one
was about 9 lbs. A. Me. Luckie
and Mrs. Wilkinson from Houston
were lucky enough to get an 8 lb.
blue and several smaller ones.
Doyle Williams of Freer caught a
38 pound bluecat, the best fish
reported this week .The W. H.
Jones party from Corpus got a
very good string as follows: 33
lbs., 22, 9 1-2, 6, two 5 pounders
and a 2 1-2 pounder. A mess like
that will do more than just dirty
the skillet.
You’ve heard of the man who
couldn’t see the forest for the
trees? Perhaps we’re all some-!
thing like that. I just found out
last week that this Lake Corpus
Christi State Park, just 5 miles
frofh Mathis, is a pretty big thing
as state parks go. Did you know
that there were nearly 300,000
visitors to the park last year?

graved on the plaque. The best,

the State. If one manager can
get the trophy three years in a

travels every year. That park has
lots of picnic tables and barbe-

ming area with a life guard and
two ’boat docks with about 40
boats for rent. With this hot
sweltering weather coming on why
not try to get out there by the

is almost always a nice, cool
breeze blowing and just take th-
ings easy.

The last in a series of three
local Farm Bureau Meetings was
held in Taft last Thursday, ac-
cording to Bill Schmidt, president
of the organization.
The first of the three meetings
was held last week in Mathis
and the second was held Tuesday
night in Sinton.
west states contend they face cuts
in cotton acreage of 45 per cent
and up while cotton growing states
in other parts of the country
stand to be trimmed as little as
5 pqr cent.
The growers are going on the
assumption that — because of
large cotton stocks and declining
The purpose of the meetings, markets — Secretary of Agricul-
according to Mr. Schmidt was to
discuss pending farm legislation
and acreage allotments that are
forseen for the 1954 season.
“We hope to bring before all
of the farmers in this county the
basic facts on acreage allotments
in order that they will have to
make up their minds as to what
course to take before the annual
county-wide meeting of the Farm
Bureau this fall,” Mr. Schmidt
said.
“In this way we will be able
to present San Patricio’s idea on
acreage allotments to the State
meeting and then finally to the
national level. In this way we will
have our say in how the program
will be set up.”
At the present time farmers
have been given to understand
that an acreage cut of about 18
per cent will be asked in 1954.
It is not so much this 18 per
ture Benson in the fall will find
that there is a cotton surplus. If
this occurs, growers will choose
between acreage allotments with
price supports or no allotments
with no supports.
It is felt by most farmers in
this area that the allotments and
supports will be chosen.
“It is our hope,” Mr. Schmidt
summed up, “that every farmer
will have an opportunity to study
the impact of impending changes
in laws affecting agriculture and
then voice their opinions.
Collision Saturday
Injures One
Sinton — Two cars and a
pickup were in a collision on
farm market highway at 10:30
p,m. on Saturday night. Arrests
were made as follows, one for
driving while intoxicated and an-
i other for driving without a driv-
cent that is worrying some farm- j ers ijcense. TheTe were no in-
ers so much as the chance that j jurjes to passengers of the ve-
the cut will run as high as 30 j Nicies, but the cars were damaged
per cent in San Patricio County.
This week cotton growers from
five southwestern states appeared
in Washington to get what they
call “a more equitable shake”
from acreage allotments they
forsee for 1954. These states were
California, Arizona, New Mexico,
Nevada and West Texas.
It is the plea of West Texas
that has some cotton farmers
worried in this area. They feel
that if too large a portion of
the state’s acreage allotment is
given to this section it will hurt
the traditional “cotton growing
counties,” of which San Patricio
is one.
The growers from these south- 1
