BONSMA, IN
DELL VALLEY
Dell Valley -Dr. Jan Bons-
ma, the internationally
known animal scientist from
the University of Pretoria,
Pretoria, South Africa, will
be in Dell City on the 27th
of July to lecture at the Dell
City Community Building.
Anyone interested in hear-
ing this lecture is invited to
attend.
In his previous appearances
before audiences of more
than 12, 000 cattlemen, he
has judged cattle for func-
tional efficiency and his
record for accuracy is out-
standing.
Dr. Bonsma, who is the
head of the Animal Science
Department at his Univer-
sity, says, "My whole
approach to livestock pro-
duction is based on the con-
cept that it is our duty as
animal scientists to pro-
duce more and better live-
stock; we have to serve
the livestock industry as a
whole. The true animal
scientist is free from breed
prejudice, and he has to
look at cattle objectively.'

Trading remained slow7 in
Far Western markets, accor-
ding to the Consumer and
Marketing Service, USDA.
Prices were steady to a little
higher. Domestic mill de-
mand was limited to fill-in
needs.
Export sales remained slow.
Inquiries were received from
European and Asian countries.
Growers offered loan cott-
on freely but merchant in-
terest was light. Growers re-
- ceived equities of $1. 00 to
$4. 00 per bale for a small
volume.
The crop made very good
progress. Rain in the El Pa-
so, Carlsbad and Pecos terri-
tories amounted to one-fourth
to one and three-fourths in-
ches.
Phoenix quotations were up
50 points from a week ago.
Middling 1-3/32", 3. 5 to
4. 9 mike, was quoted at
25. 15 cents. Purchases on
the Phoenix Cotton Exchange
totaled 1, 000 bales for the
third consecutive week.
Fresno Strict Low Middling
1-1/8", 3. 5 to 4. 9, held
steady at 24. 25 cents.
El Paso Middling 1-5/32",
3. 5 to 4. 9, showed no
change at 27. 95 cents.
Export acreage under bond
in California totaled 14, 536
acres in the San Joaquin
Valley and 2, 861 acres in
the Imperial Valley.
Dijimos en un principio
que la Diosa Fortuna a ve-
ces sonrie a los pobres, eso
fue hace muchos capitulos,
en este creemos que pode-
mos comprobarlo, aunque
no fue facil ponder en or-
den la informacion que a
torrentes nos daba Juanillo,
el cual con sobrada razon
se excita en esta parte de
la aventura.
Por raro que parezca, los
siguientes datos le son des-
conocidos a nuestro amigo
y cuando los lea, si asi su-
cede, comprendera rapida-
mente el porque de muchos
de los sucesos que a el se le
figuran misterioros.
Despues de revisar los per-
iodicos correspondientes a
la fecha en que Juanillo se
hizo famoso, hemos podido
comprobar que coinci den
con la crisis sucitada por la
Republica de Korea del
Norte al derribar a un in-
defenso transporte militar
norte- americano y matar a
sus ocupantes. Tambien las
dichas fechas estan dentro
de fases de entrenamiento
especial para astronautas.
La pre senci a de pilotos del
espacio en "el cerro de las
piedras" se debe al gran,
parecido topografico y geo-
logico que las recientes
fotos de la luna indican al
set sometidas a los analisis
comunes. El cambio de ru-
ta del convoy, indudable-
mente se debio a medidas
de seguridad tanto personal
como nacional, pues quienes
tripulan un cohete por el
espacio tambien pueden
llevar "una bodega" de
armas nucleates y descar-
garlas desde los puntos mas
ventajosos.
Finalmente era mucho
mas humanitario y honroso
para el equipo militar a-
parecer ellos como los que
"se hallaron" en el desierto
a nuestro amigo y no admi-
tir ni de jar record de que
Juanillo se habia internado
en el perimetro de maxima
seguridad que los "M-P"
habian preparado para los
ejercicios simulados de an-
dar sobre la superficie de la
luna.
El Coronel comprendio la
situacion desde que los fo-
tografos los recibieron en el
aeropuerto. Sus breves con-
ferencias eran solo para
conocer la opinion de los
demas oficiales. Sin recu-
rrir a ningun documento y a
base de efectivo, pusieron
en las manos de Juanillo
una cantidad equivalente
a tres meses de sueldo. Las
fotos tendian a certificar
un encuentro fortuito y eso
ya en el aeropuerto. Un
cabo aparecio con una muda
completa que incluia pan-
talon y camisa del mejor
kaki, continuara.

and DELL VALLEY REVIEW
Texas has before it a plan
for the most extensive and
complex water system yet
conceived by man. The Tex-
as Water Plan provides for
constructing 67 major re-
servoirs and hundreds of
miles of canals to make cer-
tain that water is available
for those who need it, and
at tire same time, to offer
flood protection to many
of those who have been en-
dangered. Enough water to
cover 13 million acres with
12 inches of live-giving mois-
ture will be pumped from
the lower Mississippi River
to Texas and eastern New
Mexico, if current feasibi-
lity studies are completed
as expected, and if Texas
votes yes on Constitutional
Amendment No. 2.
The vote on August 5 will
determine whether or not
Texas is willing to show the
world that our planning is
serious-- that we are willing
to put our money where our
mouth is. While it is a $3. 5
billion bond authorization,
the funds will be used dur-
ing the next 40 to 50 years,
not all at once. The money
will be used for temporary
financing, with none for
gifts or grants. Those who
use the water will have to
pay for it, with interest.

A meeting to be held the
first week of August in El
Paso, Texas, was announ-
ced by Mr. Charles Cal-
houn as an important gath-
ering to discuss and learn
more about the Great Plains
Conservation Program.
The interest local and area
farmers have in this program
. will be determined, and if
found desirable to El Paso-
Hudspeth counties, steps
will be taken to have the
program made available.
The program provides
needed financial and techni-
cal assistance to accelerate
the stabilization of the vast
plains area of the Nation
composed of portions of 10
States.
The basic objective of the
Great Plains Conservation
Program is to provide assis-
tance to farmers and ranch-
ers in applying complete
conservation programs on in-
dividuals units. Special em-
phasis is placed upon con-
verting land unsuitable for
sustained crop production
into permanent grass. The
program provides for cost
sharing on the part of tire
Federal Government.
Dell Valley - Corn grown for silage has reached a height of
eight feet and will continue to grow to twelve feet. Tonnage
of this fabulous crop ranges up to thirty tons of green chop
production per acre.
The crop is planted in April and May and harvest will take
place in August and September. Silage is fed to dairy heifers
principally in Dell Valley.
Dell Valley -A Volleyball
Tournament is planned for
July 18-19.
All proceeds from this
tournament which is spon-
sored by the Future Home-
makers will go to FHA and
to the Ambulance Fund.
The games will start at
7:00 PM both Friday and
Saturday nights.

The National Park Service is now exercising the options to
purchase nearly all of the remaining land for Guadalupe Moun-
tains National Park, spokesmen for the Park Service told Con-
gressman Richard C. White.
Tire options now being
completed will result in the
purchase of all land owned
by J. C. Hunter, Junior,
who is the principal owner
of the lands for the proposed
park. With this purchase,
only some 3, 000 acres re-
main tn be secured for the
National Park, and the
National Park Service hopes
to obtain most of this by ex-
change of other lands. With
the final purchase of all
lands, the new National
Park will be formally esta-
blished.
Funds of $1, 015, 000 for
the Hunter lands are inclu-
ded in the fiscal 1970 bud-
get and must have Congress-
ional approval, though these
funds are already earmarked
for Guadalupe Mountains
National Park, from the
Land and Water Conservation
fund, and their expenditure
approved by the Interior Sub-
committees of tire House
and Senate Appropriations
Committee. Consequently,
since no additional tax
funds are included, it is ex-
pected that Congressional
approval will come without
difficulty.
Congressman White was
author of the bill creating
Guadalupe Mountains Na-
tional Park, passed by Con-
gress in 1966, Since then,
he has been working for
appropriations and funding
of this National Park from
the Land and Water Conser-
vation Fund. Guadalupe M
Mountains National Park is
the second National Park
in Texas, the first being
Big Bend, established in
1940, also in the 16th Con-
gressional District.
