New reigning Miss Dell City
Boycott Ended?
Farming in Dell ialley
Dell Valley - Cotton stands are more vigorously showing with no
insects bothering them so far. The young plants are free of seedling
diseases for the most part and should start good growth with the
warm weather. Most cotton is planted at a conservative rate so
that no thinning of stands is required.
Many farmers practiced in
the use of herbicides will have
less weed problems this year.
Also post emergence spraying
of herbicides will be done to
cut down or eliminate the hand
hoe work on cotton.
The use of six-row equipment
is increasing as farmers are
doing more of their own work
and cutting down payroll to the
most capable, productive wor-
kers. New equipment is seen
this year as usual on farms
throughout Dell Valley as all
realize that when the equipment
is needed to do the job on a
timely basis, it must be ready
and reliable.
Winter grain is showing the
signs of maturity and only the
later ripening wheat is getting
its last water now. Harvest of
barley will be starting by
monthend.
This is the time of year to
plant home gardens and have
an abundance of products ready
for the Dell Valley Hudspeth
County Fair in October.
Sierra Blanca.....The Sierra
Blanca School Boycott was end-
ed Monday, May 6, after sever-

complaint, but that if it
was unfounded, that a si-

issued against the persons

JANICE PERRY
LEGISLATION TO AID
COTTON FARMERS
Congressman Richard C.
White,told the House Agricul-
ture Committee Friday that
cotton-growers of his District
are united in the request that
the cotton section of the 1965
Food and Agriculture Act be
extended for at least another
four years. Present legislation
expires at the end of 1969. In
behalf of the two cotton asso-
ciations of his District, the
Trans Pecos and El Paso Vall-
ey Cotton Associations, Con-
gressman White asked that
tire action be taken this year
to give farmers the opportuni-
ty to make their plans one
year ahead.
The West Texas Congress-
man told the committee the
three principal purposes of
the 1965 legislation are being
achieved; cotton surpluses
have been reduced, farmer,
income prospects are improved,
and commercial markets for
cotton have been strengthened.
He pointed out the importance
of developing and retaining
foreign markets, since a heal-
thy cotton industry needs a
production of some 15 million
bales a year, and domestic
markets fall far short of this
amount.
White supported the Secretary
of Agriculture's recommen-
dation that the projected
yield of cotton for any state
or county should not be re-

Joe Rivera Says:
Es muy posible que el nom-
bre del oceano Atlantic© sea
el resultado de una equivoca-
cion al multiplicar. Resulta
que al parecer hay pruebas
contundentes de que existio
la Atlantida y que fue victi-
ma de la mayor erupcion
volcanica de que se tiene
cOnocimiento. Una erupcion
de tai magnitud que todas las
bombas de hidrogeno puestas
juntas le harian los mandados
- solo se salvaron aquellos
"A tl anti dos" que andaban en
otras tierras y no en la cuen-
ca de lo que hoy conocemos
como el mar Mediterraneo,
que fue el lugar precisamente
donde se desarrollo un pueblo
con un indice tan alto de ci-
vilizacion, que sus figurines
podrian adornar cualquier sa-
la contemporanea con el ca-
racter de arte modemo y no
como antiguedades o curiosi-
dades. Sea como fuere, cuenta
la historia o la leyenda que
ese gran pueblo se llamc At-
lantida y que su existencia
fue explica da por los pocos
que se salvaron y que en una
curiosa forma de escritura de-
jaron datos que llevaron a los
sabios Griegos a efectuar una
interpretacion en la cual al
medir la extension de tierra,
metieron la pata y le agrega-
ron un cero, sacando tai can-
tidad de millones de kilome-
tros que no cabian en el mar
Mediterraneo y por lo tanto
se supuso que la Atlantida ha-
bia exist!do mas al norte, pre-
cisamente en un oceano para
el cual no se tenia nombre y
zas le pusieron El Atlantico.
Eso de que hallamos dicho
"una curiosa forma de escri-
tura" no tiene nada de burles-
co, por el contrario, cuando r

My campaign for Sheriff
has been conducted at the
highest level - I have pro-
mised progress and increased
protection to the lives, and
properties of all residents of
Hudspeth County, but I have
not promised jobs. I have
spoken strongly in favor of a
Sheriff's office that will de-
serve the respect 6f all citi-
zens. This can only be acc-
omplished by total dedication
without outside interests, and
I am willing and capable of
earning said respect. In addi-
tion, I have pledged myself to
the County of Hudspeth and
NOT to a particular town,
individual or group. In the
selection of Deputies, I will
follow the recommendation of
responsible citizens, and I will
put special emphasis in their
training.
(Pd. Fbl. Ad. Pd. for by Joe
David Rivera)
I want to express my appre-
ciation to the residents of
Hudspeth County for their
help and support at the polls
last Saturday, May 4th. As
you know, we -are having a
special election to decide the
Democratic candidate for the
position of Sheriff of Hudspeth
County on Saturday, June 1,
1968. We must, therefore,
return to the polls on said
date.
