comes to the front ranks in agri-
culture-livestock concern nowa-
days.
Screwworm eradication workers
at the s'erile fly plant in Mission
stepped up eradication efforts in
the Brooks-Goliad-Beeville area
where six cases were reported
last week and in the stretch from
Culberson Coun'y to Eddy, N.M.,
where 12 cases were confirmed.
Dr. B. B. Vail Jr. told the Ani-
mal Health Commission that they
need more reports from ranch-
ers.
Dr. S. B. Walker of the Com-
mission and Dr. S. C. Gartman
of the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture's Animal Health Division
asked livestock producers also to
report promptly any signs of sore
mouth condition or blister-like
sores on udders or above hooves
of animals to combat a recent
outbreak of vesicular stomatitis.
In similar farm reports, State
Agriculture Comm. John C. White
announced an emergency quaran-
tine on movement of some fruits
and vegetables from Cameron
County—to prevent spread of
Mediterranean Fruit Fly.
Dr. Walker recommended a
more flexibj'e program for accept-
ing petitions tor Type II control
testing for brucellosis—iiow done
only from counties next to test
counties af'er a break from the
"contiguous county" requirement
has been tested. He said it work-
ed hardships on area vetreinar-
ians.
GRAIN FARMERS CAUTION-
ED—John C. White .Commission-
er of Agriculture, advised Texas
grain farmers to "make certain
votir harvest is stored in, a state-
licensed warehouse and .to de-
mand a valid Texas Grain Re-
ceipt."^
Approximately 70 warehouses
have refused to renew their licen-
ses this year, though 'lie grain
harvest is well underway in many
parts of the s'ate. Grain stored in
hose warehouses is not protee'ed
by bonds and license required by
law, said White.
MORE BOAT RAMPS—Thirty-
three new boat ramps across the
s'ate. making a to al of 94 such
ramns. have been approved by
the Texas Highway Commission.
Twenty of the new ones are ad-
jacent to farm-to-market or park
roads.
These new ramps will increase
launching facili ics by more than
one half and will cost $241,800, or
an average of $7,327 each. Source
of money, provided for under the
Texas Water Safety Act. comes
from Certificate of Number fees
collected from Texas boat own-
ers.
And. speaking of boats, new
boat inspection fees and unclaim-
ed boat gasoline sales taxes are
reaping about $100,000 a month for
tiie state.
According to the State Parks
and Wildlife Department, a new
system is being set up so that
fines collected for boat safe'y law
violations will go to a Sta'e fund,
rather than to county funds
where most other law-breakers'
fines are deposited.
The Hobby Club met Tuesday
night for their regular monthly
meeting in the home of Mrs. Ara
Marquis. Many clever ideas were
on display and a good time was
enjoyed by all. Refreshments of
punch, open face sandwiches and
cookies were served to guests
from Rule, Sagerton, Johnson
Chapel, Wrights Chapel and As-
permont.
