Del Rio, August 2—After the ware-
house men had again lest its place
on the program yesterday evening, the
officers and members of the Texas
Predatory Animal Eradication As-
sociation had a meeting at the court-
house, Thursday night at 8:30 o’-
clock.
The president of the association,
Mr. Roy Hudspeth, being absent, H.
W. Birschwale of Junction took the
chair, and received a motion, which
was duly seconded, that C. R. Lan-
don of San Antonio, be made chair-
man of the meeting. /
Men familiar with the work of pre-
datory animal eradication were called
on for addresses, and Judge Oscar
Calloway of Comanche, made a short
address and told his listeners that
the eradication of the wolf in Coman-
che and adjoining counties was the
means of saving ranchmen and farmers
in that section more money that any
move that had ever been undertaken
and that through the efforts of ex-
perienced trappers in his section of the
state had been practically freed from
a menace that was piling up heavy
tolls each year, and many in his sec-
tion today are raising sheep who could
not do^so before, on account of the
fact that sheep and goats and woU
ves cannot live in the same pasture,
and went further and made the state-
ment that bank deposits in Comanche
county had practically doubled since
the advent of the sheep and goat in-
dustry. ", v •
Robert Real followed Judge Cal-
loway, and agreed with him that if
the range could be kept free of the
wolf, then the .industry would reap
a large reward each succeeding year
over that experienced by trying to
run sheep and goats in pastures in-
jected by the wolf.
It is the intention of the associa-
tion to get representation in each and
every county in the state where not
only sheep and goats are raised, bag
those animals that infect the barn-
yard and chicken bouses will come
under the eradication program.
The membership fee in the associa-
tion is as^ follows: For 1000 head of
sheep and goat6, $10; 500 head, $5;
less than 500 head, $2.50.
Hon. Oscar Runge of Mason, is the
attorney for the association, and told
those present quite a good deal W
regards the securing of the state ap-
propriation $70,000, toward this work.

Chamber of Commerce to send a
strong delegation to Washington to
aid in the fight. Mr. Hudsepth is
right, if the bill gets on the floor of
the house it will carr}'.’* •
The Fort Worth attorney made use
of terms even more scathing than
those of the Congressman to give his
opinion of John Box of Texas.
“John Box has always been afflict-
ed with a conscience. He preached
from the pulpit for a while but this
didn’t suffice. I am perfectly willing
that he go back into the pulpit. He
may be able to do some good there.
But as far as his political equipment
is concerned he is the most selfish,
narrow-minded member of Congress
it has been my opportunity td meet in
all my experience in Washington.”
“The thing to do is try to kill Mr.
Box’s bill in the legislative commit-
tee.” 5 >
After explaining some of the “inner
workings” of the National Legisla-
ture, Moses declared that he is a “lit-
tle more optihistic about the chances
for killing the bill than Mr. Huds-
peth.”
“But remember,” he concluded,
“Claude Hudspeth can’t do it all al-
one.” <
Acting chairman Martin at the op-
ening of the session called the roll of
the committee, the following answer-
ing: E. K. Fawcett, Del Rio; Baker
T. Buie, Coleman; J. T. Baker, Fort
Stockton; J. E. White, Brady; V. A.
Brown, Rocksprings; W. C. Bryson,
Uvalde; W. W. Nipper, Brackettville;
J. A. Whitten, Eldorado, and C. B.
(Dutch) Wardlaw, Del Rio.
Mr. Martin described the proposed
immigration restriction as the most
serious problem confronting the sheep
and goat industry of Texas today. He
.declared he has found that, as far as
the Texas representatives are concern-
ed, those who are now trying to beat
the Box bill in Washington are about
the same ones that supported the bene-
ficial tariff bill.
He named in particular Represent-
ative Hudspeth and Representative
Augustus McCloskey of San Antonio
as proponents of the Hawley Tariff
bill who are now fighting against the
Box measure.
“Sixteen Texas representatives vot-
ed, against the Hawley bill.” Mr. Mar-
tin said.

announced that Kerr county would

tion. ., |
The secresatry’s report showed that
the association is now operating in
40 counties in Texas, and has a cash
balance on hand of $558.50. : % -
Two things were' apparent late
Thursday night at Del Rio, which in~
dicated the re-election of T. A. Kin-
caid as president of the Sheep and
Goat Raisers’ Association of Texas,
and the selection of Brady as the cott*'
vention city in 1930.

“My understanding of the measure
is that it proposes to put Mexican
immigration on a quota basis so that
only 1,500 Mexicans may enter this
country annually under any condi-
tions. This means that you ranchmen
will be paying from 50 cents to 75
cents to have your sheep sheared and
that the laborers will be telling what
yon must do.
“The same situation will confront
the truck farmers of the state.”

she is a part of the ranching country
of the west, while San Antonio repre-
sents principally the fruit and vege-j
table section of the Valley country.
At the time of writing this (Thurs-
day afternoon) we have no idea which
city will win, yet if we were on the
scene Brady would get our vote.
Brady has many things to justify
the 1930 cenvention going there. Bra-
dy is the center of a great ranch-
ing country, and some of the most
prominent members of the association
reside in McCulloch county, of which
Brady is the county seat.
It has been but a few years since
the association held its annual con-
vention in the Heart of Texas city,
and at that time received a hearty
welcome, were well entertained and
cared for during the stay in Brady.
Since the last convention was held
at Brady, the town has grown in
size, improvements of various kinds
have meed made, and now as Brady
asks for the 1930 convention of the
association, she realizes that she is in
better position to entertain and
care for the convention that at any
previous time.
Brady is asking for the convention
because citizens of the town and the
Chamber of Commerce think that
Brady is the only logical place for the
convention to be held in 1930. Last
year the association met in convention
at San Angelo, this year at Del Rio
and in 1930, the association should go
to Brady for the annual convention.
Brady serves as a market and ship-
ping point for a large cotton, cattle,
wool, and mohair producing territory,
and is served by the Frisco and Santa
Fe railroads, and is the junction of
five of the great highways of the state
and nation.
Livestock has always been an im-
portant industry in McCulloch coun-
ty, and because of this fact, Brady
has been recognized as a market and
shipping point for livestock, wool and
mohair, and the town serves a large
ranching section of the south and
southwest.
Hon. Cecil Story, member of the
house of representatives, who mater-
ially assisted Hon. Dayton Moses and
Hon. Coke R. Stevenson in the Robi-
son matter, was at Del Rio, setting,
up his compaign for attorney general.
We have stated in these columns that
we would support no man for state
office who was in any manner impli-
cated in the persecution of Hon. J.
T. Robison, and it would givte us much
pleasure in offering our services, lit-
tle as they might be, to the man who
stood by that gentleman in the try-
ing hours of his fading life. For that
reason we are offering our support
to Hon. Cecil Story, a very capable

The Ranchmen are awakening to the fact
to get the best results from their flocks it
essary to feed their Bucks and Billies
mixed Feeds.
No Ranchman can expect to win a prize on
stock unless he feeds them the properly
tioned Feeds. Why guess at it when
buy a PURINA feed for every purpose.

“This Meat is Tough”
Once in a while this is the case, but more often it is the fault
of the one who cooks it, for so few people realize the value of the
different cuts of meats, and pay little or no attention as to pr
way they should be cooked, some attempt to fry the cuts
should be roasted, or roast the cuts that should be used as i
meats.
