Junior Club Big Aid
The Beaumont Junior Rod and
Reel Club is another organization in
Texas through which boys are aiding
in the conservation of wildlife, it is
reported to the Game Department
by N. E. LeBlanc, secretary of the
Gulf Coast Rod and Reel Club of
Beaumont, sponsor of the junior or-
ganization.
Among the projects being handled
by the more than fifty members of
the junior club Is the policing of
Twin Lakes near Beaumont. Form-
erly. boys seined and used nets in
the lake, destroyed many small fish
and did other damage. Now the lake
is patrolled by members of the junior
club and the fish supply has in-
creased. it is reported.
The Gulf Coast Rod and Reel Club
is another of the many organizations
tn the state which are backing the
attempts of the Game Department
to obtain a universal license and
regulatory powers.

Rabbits Battle Snake
Many times the statement, “Truth
is stranger than fiction" lias been
used in connection with many fact
stories. “Believe it or not” is the
phrase that should be used in this
story even though this incident is
truly stranger than fiction.
Odel Morris, acting relief pumper
for the city of Comanche at Lake
Eanes, was standing in the door of
the pump station recently when he
noticed a small rabbit about one
third grown hopping along near the
station. Suddenly a snake grabbed
the small rabbit and he began to
squall. Here the old snake got a
big surprise, because there appeared
two full grown cottontail rabbits and
jumped on the snake and forced him
to release the baby rabbit. Papa,
mama and baby rabbit went off in a
hurry, while the old snake took off
to a lumber pile nearby for cover.
This story was confirmed by Elbert
Stewart, regular pumper who wit-
nessed the odd occurence.

Judge Dunklin is in fine health and his mind is
quick and active. He has not been absent from his
desk or from the Court sessions 15 days since he was
elected to this Court. When the elevator is not run-
ning Judge Dunklin walks to the third floor. He not
only does his share of the Court work but he is one of
the most capable judges in the State of Texas.

Three-fourths of the payments
made in Texas under the 1939 AAA
program went to producers operat-
ing small farms.
On the other hand only 45 of the
594.304 payments made under the
piogram amounted to between $5,000
and $10,000, a study of AAA records
disclosed.
The tabulation of payments showed
that 453,536 were for less than $100,
into which payment classification
fall the bulk of the small-scale
farmers in the state. Payments
from $100 to $200 totaled 94,199;
from $200 to $300, 23,866; from $300
to $400, 9,355; from $400 to $500,
4,801; from $500 to $1,000, 6,523; from
$1,000 to $5,000, 1579; and from
$5,000 to $10,000, 45.
Under the present AAA program,
no payment to any Individual, part-
nership or estate can exceed $10,000,
George Slaughter, chairman of the
AAA committee, explained. Tills
provision was first used in the 1939
program.
Approximately the same situation
prevails as regards the size of pay-
ments all over the country.” Slaugh-
ter continued. ■ “The AAA. by in-
creasing the small payment and by
limiting the maximum amount to be
paid and in other ways, is giving
special aid to the small farmer, the
one who needs help most. These
aids will be continued In the 1941
program.”
IT'S CLEAN—no smoke, no
soot, no greasy vapors to
blacken pans, smudge walls
and curtains.
Those opposing Judge Irby Dunklin’s re-election
to his second term as Chief Justice of the Court of Civil
Appeals for this District went over the twelve counties
in the District a few days before the July Primary and
told the voters that Judge Dunklin was so feeble in
mind and body that he could not and did not go to his
office and attend the Court sessions regularly; that he
had to be carried to the court house and assisted to his
chair; that he slept during the court proceedings and
that he was not able to do his share of the work, and
was not giving the court any assistance.
Here are the facts:
IT’S ACCURATE—measured
electric heat prevents over-
cooking or undercooking,
ends guesswork.
IT'S ECONOMICAL—saves
cleaning and redecorating ex-
pense, cuts meat shrinkage
losses, prevents food and fuel
waste.
IT'S HSALTHFUL—preserve*
health-giving vitamins, makes
meats more tender and easily
digestible.
IT'S TIME-SAVING—ends pot-
watching, allows more time
for leisure.

money.”
Many county agricultural agents'
are reporting that farmers, who have
tried the legume, are well satisfied
and that the acreage will be increas-
ing this fall and next spring.
Here’s what E. A. Miller, agronom-
ist of the Texas A. and M. Extension
Service has to report on hubam
clover: It is well adapted to the en-
tire blackland area of North, Central,
and South Texas, and the Gulf
Coast Prairie.
Hubam clover which is the annual
white blooming sw>eet clover, grows
well on soils that have considerable
lime, but will not do well on acid or
i sour land unless it is limed. The
clover is planted in the fall in the
southern half of the state, but in
North Texas it is safer to seed it in
the spring on account of the danger
of winter-killing. A good way to
plant it is in rows 18 inches to 3 feet
apart at the rate of 6 to 8 pounds of
seed per acre. It should be planted
shallow on a firm seed bed.
It is a fine soil-building crop as it
gathers nitrogen from the air and
the roots penetrate deep into the
soil. The clover makes considerable
tonnage for grazing and to be turned
under as green manure. Cattle may
pass it up at first, but will eat it with
relish when used to it. Because
hubam makes most of its growth in
early spring and late summer, it does
well even in fields infested with
johnson grass. Experimental tests
show that hubam clover is superior
to other winter legumes in South
Texas. While it is also well adapted
to North Texas, the white and yellow
biennial sweet clovers should not be
overlooked in that area, as they have
the advantage of growing two suc-
cessive seasons and supplying graz-
ing or a hay crop the first summer
and much grazing or hay the second
spring or summer before going to
seed. In North Texas they should
be spring-planted either alone or
with spring oats in rows two to
three feet apart.

Pheasants Do Not Thrive
Pheasants will not do well in
Texas except in captivity and oc-
casional reports that the birds are
spreading are minimized by the
Game Department. Records show
that in few sections of the state will
the birds do well in the wild. For
example, approximately 50 pheasants
remain out of the 152 young birds
liberated in the spring of 1938 on a
large tract of land in Colorado
County. At least seven broods were
reared in 1939 and pheasant eggs
were found this year in March. Some
of the pheasants have roamed as far
as five mUes from the point of
release.
Will Trap More Deer
Trapping and distributing of wUd
deer by the Texas Game, Fish and
Oyster Commission next winter is
expected to keep apace with other
progressive moves made by the De-
partment. A total of 100 deer traps
have been ordered buUt. Twenty-
two were constructed and used with
great success last winter in the HUI
Country.
The Department, despite a late
start with the new traps, captured
more than 100 deer and transported
them to regions depleted of big
game. With a total of 122 traps op-
erating next winter the Department
hopes to trap and transplant several
hundred deer.
Few deer were trapped in past
years due to the lack of a trap
which operated successfully. How-
ever, the trap now being used, which
catches one deer at a time, was de-
veloped.
The executive secretary of the De-
the partment, highly pleased with the
way the traps operated last winter,
ordered the additional 100. In the
past many of the deer distributed
have been tame or semi-tame deer
which were picked up by ranchers
as fawns. Those will still be col-
lected and distributed, but the ex-
ecutive secretary has high hopes of
far more rapid and successful re-
stocking due to both the Increase
in number of animals trapped and to
the fact that they will be wild deer,
better adapted for restocking pur-
poses.
