tained July 1, 1921, due to receipts
in 1920 having exceeded the $40,000
mark.
The forty or fifty orange trees in
Cuero and immediate country have
borne so prolifically this winter as to
be quite an encouragement to the in-
dustry, and many people are talking
of planting more extensively since the
crop seems to be considerably more
certain than peaches.
all indications, this is going
earliest season for vege-
tables and strawberries known in Al-
vin in a number of years. Large quan-
tities of every variety of vegetable are
being shipped from Alvin now to the

with strawberries.

GOVERNOR FIXES
ZONES ON COTTON
Proclamation Issued Upon
Recommendation of Boll
Worm Commission
Austin, Tex.—Governor Neff Wed-
nesday issued a proclamation estab-
lishing noncotton producing zones in
Grayson, Collin, Liberty and Ellis coun-
ties upon recommendation of the pink
boll worm commission, which submit-
ted its report on pink boll worm infes-
tation in those respective counties.
Marilee Station, on the Collin-Gray-
son county line, on the St Louis and
Santa Fe railroads, is the center of a
zone about one mile in radius estab-
lished as a noncotton area by the gov-
ernor’s proclamation.
Moss Bluff, in Liberty county,- is
the approximate center of the zone
established in that county, and a regu-
lated one, including all the ginning
territory adjacent to Moss Bluff, is es-
tablished by proclamation upon the
recommendation of the commission.
In Ellis county, Ennis is the center
of a three-mile noncotton zone es-
tablished by proclamation and a regu-
lated zone including the ginning ter-
ritory of Ennis and Garrett is estab-
lished.
The report of the commission was
submitted to the governor Wednesday
recommending the issuance of a proc-
lamation, based on investigations made
by the commission which discovered
pink boll worm infestation in territory
outlined.
Members of the commission are Lea
Beaty, chairman; R. E. McDonald. W
D. Hunter, W. D. Farris of the For
tieth judicial district; Robert L. Clay
ton, Fifty-first judicial district; Chas
W. Fisher, Seventy-fifth judicial dis
trict.
The Wilson Foundation.
Austin, Tex.—“The Wilson founda-
tion is one of the most laudable pro-
posals for expressing appreciation of
the great achievements and splendid
qualities of mind and character of
Woodrow Wilson which men and wom-
en of today and of the future will come
more and more to appreciate at their
true worth,” said Governor Pat M.
Neff Friday in commenting on the
movement to establish the Wilson
foundation.
Texas Game Laws Will
Be Rigidly Enforced
Austin, Tex—Texas needs a cam-
paign on game conservation as “a
stimulant of the public conscience to
bring about more co-operation in the
enforcement of game laws,” accord-
ing to W. W. Boyd, game, fish and
oyster commissioner. . .
‘A great majority of hunters wink
at the law,” said Commissioner Boyd,
‘and many of them, besides keeping
their tables supplied with game dur-
ing the open season, expect to put
enough in cold storage to cover the
closed season.
“The law permits cold storage of
game for ten days. Information comes
to the department that this storage
law is not generally understood and
that heretofore it has been observed
but little in some localities.
“It should be made clear to all that
this law is going to be enforced. The
storage plant will share equally in the
guilt. I ask the support of all sports-
men, not only in the conservation of
the game we have but by every con-
structive measure to increase the game
supply if possible. Too little impor-
tance is attached to this department.
Its value to the state will be under-
stood only to the degree that it is
backed up and appreciated by hunt-
ers. It is not only paying its way and
turning in large sums to other state
purposes, but its balance for hunting
licenses and fines is now over $81,000
as compared with $197 in 1916.”

Investigation Discloses Fact That Ma-
jority of Ex-Service Boys Prefer
Single Blessedness.
Three years after the war 61.6 per
cent of the former service men are
still bachelors, according to Gray Wag-
gett, adjutant of the Evanston (111.)
post of the American Legion. Mr.
Waggett has been conducting a cam-
paign to gain information about Le-
gionnaires in the Middle West, and
bases his statistics on 100,000 replies
received.
Of the 38.4 per cent who married
American, French or German girls, 10
per cent have children.
The house owners totaled 13.8 per
cent and the business owners aggre-
gated 15.5 per cent; nevertheless 21.7
per cent are able to drive their own
automobiles.
Legion posts, too, have the billet-
owning fe-ver, 44.5 per cent having per-
manent quarters now, while 26 per
cent will get theirs in a short time.
These statistics apply only to that
part of the country.
