Apparently the Corral car,
driven by Manuel became
stalled on a train track in
Mexico where the Corral's
were visiting relatives.
Thrown out of the car from
the impact, Manuel and a
brother-in-law luckily only
suffered minor injuries.
Burial for Mike was held
Sunday in Mexico. The Corr-
al's expect to return to Dell
City this week.

tendent, H. W. Harmon,

will begin Monday, August 28.
El Paso -Despite our longer-
term bearish outlook for catt-
le prices, we would not press
the short side of the market
at this time because of the
seasonal price factors involved.
We do feel, however, that the
current price structure may
offer opportunities for some
profitable spreads. Two spreads
which are at an extremely
narrow difference now, and
we feel could widen are:
(1 )Buy October and sell Feb-
ruary, 1968. This is a seasonal
spread which, at current price
levels, could prove beneficial.
The months of February through
April are historically poor
months for the beef trade, as
cattle which have been put
on winter feed come to mar-
ket. Also, October of this
year should benefit from a
seasonal price rise in Septem-
ber and an optimistic outlook
in the trade. (2) Buy August,
1968 and sell February, 1968.
This again is a seasonal
spread which should benefit
from the historical weakness
in February and should widen
going into the winter of next
year.
The summer rally in beef
prices is usually well under-
way by August, and both of
these factors combined should
make current price levels
look attractive.
ATTENTION
14-15 YR. OLD DRIVERS
The Texas Department of
Public Safety would like to
urge all licensed drivers, 14
and 15 years of age with a res-
tricted drivers license, who
have completed both phases of
a driver education course, to
be sure and go to your nearest
drivers license office and take
your driving test and have the
restriction removed before
August 28. The new drivers
license law age changes go
into effect on that date. If

Dell Valley -Some 170 Sou-
thern New Mexico Ranchers,
comprising the newly lormed
Southern New Mexico Grazing
Association, turned out last
week to meet with Bureau of
Land Management Director,
Jim Anderson, and James Young
of the District Office.
The growing controversy be-
tween the association and the
BLM concerns a new land man-
agement program if ranchers
continue to use public land. In
the past, ranchers have had use
of such lands under the Taylor
Grazing Act of 1934, which en-
titles them to the use of the
land under a 10-year term. Now
ranchers are faced with the loss
of the 10-year term, which is
being replaced by 1-year per-
mits. Ranchers allege that this
new ruling will prohibit plann-
ing of their yearly livestock
production, or declaring such
lands as fundamental in acquir-
ing bank loans on their property,
Ranchers attending the meet-
ing strongly voiced their objec-
tions to a management program
and government controls.
Bob Jones, spokesman and
President of the newly formed
Association, read a policy
statement issued by the assoc-
iation to representatives of
BLM which stresses as unfair
the one-year permits and asks
for a replacement by a 10-yr.
tenure permit.
Director Anderson in describ-
ing the ELM'S position, said
that by directions from Wash-
ington, all ranchers using
public domain lands will come
under the land management
program within the next 20
years. The BLM contols pub-
lic domain lands in 11 western
states.
Anderson said, "It is good
that the association has been
formed, " but added that the
real purpose might better be
served with the association
acting as an information dis-
tributing center for the ran-
chers.
The BLM officials, after
questioning, said the one-yr.
permits would not affect loans
to ranchers by financial insti-
tutions. They said they had
no such report of any problems
in their dealings with ranchers
thus far. When such matters
came up, BLM officials
"worked things out" with the
individual ranchers.
District Director, James
Young stated that the federal
government, in its portion of
the management program,
would erect new fences, water
retention dams and other land
improvement projects which
would benefit the rancher.

Activity was again slow in
Western cotton markets accord-
ing to the Consumer and Mar-
keting Service, USDA. Repor-
ted sales represented cotton
recently acquired from CCC.
Growers were reluctant to con-
tract new-crop cotton at the
present level of prices offered.
There was considerable inter-
est in the August 1 forecast of
cotton production.
Domestic mills were actively
seeking San Joaquin Valley
new-crop at 37.00 cents for
Middling (31) 1-3/32" (35)
landed southeast mill points
but no contracting was repor-
ted.
Foreign activity involved PL
480 sales of Arizona and Im-
perial Valley cotton to India.
PL 480 inquiries were received
from Korea and India.
Spot cotton quotations were
unchanged from a week ago.
Middling (31) 1-3/32" (35),
3. 5 to 4. 9 mike at Fresno was
35. 00 cents. Fhoenix Strict

34. 50.
American-Egyptian Grade 4,

quoted at 48. 50 cents. Grade

quoted at 49. 75.
The crop was making good
progress.

Dell Valley -Growth on all crops has seen, very good with the
hot weather. Some showers were spotted over the valley lately and
some heavier rains in the higher elevations on the ranch country.
Insects on cotton so far have been limited to lygus and fleahopper
with very little bollworm showing. No pink bollworm has been
fround in Dell Valley this year. Poisoning has been done on many
ties for tomatoes are being
readied now.
Proportions
San Angelo -The Texas
screwworm situation is reach-
ing serious proportions as late-
summer sheep and goat shear-
ing goes into full swing, said
Worth Durham, president of
the Texas Sheep and Goat Rai-
sers Association. The associa-
tion is urging ranchmen to use
all possible preventive practi-
ces and to watch their livestock
closely. The rapid spread in
recent weeks, particularly in
the western part of the state,
has alarmed association offi-
cers.
Durham pointed out that the
infestation has reached such
proportions in the Big Bend
area that the Southwest Screw-
worm Eradication Laboratory
in Mission has set up a tempo-
rary branch station in Sonora.
It is hauling laboratory-sterili-
zed flies there by truck to re-
duce the flying time for air-
planes carrying out the "drop"
patterns in the far weatern
parts of the state and to pre-
vent their having to go all the
way to Mission for reloading.
This will enable them to treat
a wider area in less time.
"The entire industry worked
hard to get rid of the screwworm
on Texas ranges, " Durhams
said. "We can't afford to suffer
a setback now. If we all watch
and treat our livestock, we can
control this situation.

Sin lugar a duda en todas las
teorias quep uedan aplicarse al
nacimiento y desarrollo de cr-
eencias y cultos existira siem-
pre un comun denominador Ha-
rn a do temor. El hombre pre-
historico que se enfrentaba con
una fiera sentia temor; mien-
tras que al encontrar una man-
zana no tenia que reunir su fuer-
za y procurarse armas, simple-
mente la cortaba y disponia de
ella a su antojo y sin esfuerzo.
El temor debe haber forzado
la pronta aparicion de la pala-
"no" en el primer lenguaje: no
hagas eso, no te arrimes, no
te subas. Resulta casi imposi-
ble decirle a una persona todo
lo que si puede hacer y por lo
tanto optamos por decir lo que
no puede o debe hacer. Sabe-
mos que aquellos seres al sen-
tir que temblaba la montana,
creian que esta estaba disgus-
tada con ellos y relacionaban
cualquier suceso reciente con
el supuesto enojo, asi es que si
poco*antes del temblor, alguno
de ellos habia cazado un pajaro
de color azul, consideraban que
a la montana no le gustaba
aquello y para contentaria lle-
vaban semillas para que corn-
ier an los pajaros y las deposi-
taban en lugares especiales;
alii tenemos el primer ofreci-
miento a un set superior al
cual tenian miedo.
Las leyes de la tribu, la man-
ufactura de las primeras armas
de caza, el temor, la venerac-
ion, todo esto constituye una
culture. Existiendo en el mun-
do de esa epoca, diferentes
grupos de seres y estando estos
grupos separados por mares y
por inmensas distancias que
impedian que se comuni caran
unos con otros, es curioso en-
contrar gran numero de cultur-
as que escogieron el sol y la
serpiente como idolos. Con el
