ministration should be authorised
to insure as much as 30 per cent

banks.

it has acquired under the price
support program. The CCC is sell-
ing cotton seed meal at $52 a ton

fixes the price to domestic cattle-
men at $57 per ton.
the City National Bank of Wichita
Falls, in a letter to Ikard.
"The widespread drought of the
last two years,” he wrote, “has
placed the rancher of the South-
west In a position that he must
reduce his herds to s very min-
imum.
"Much of the ranch country is
so badly damaged that it will take
two years of good rains to bring
the ranges back to where they
will support an average run of
stock.
"The average cattleman does
not want nor expect the federal
government to expend large rams
of money to dole him out of this
situation. He only asks for a rea-
sonable market where he can dis-
pose of his feeder type cattle at
a price which will at least absorb
a reasonable portion of the loss
which be has sustained."
Rep. Thornberry told the House
many cattle raisers in his South
Central Texas district were In
desperate straits and were look-
ing to Washington for action.

Benson Urged to Act Death Dulled
Poage would not predict what welll Wwolwe
will happen but said he had urged
Secretary Benson to take such ac-
tion.
Poage said the average rancher
is not able to buy feed to hold
on to livestock which no longer
can eke out an existence on parch-
ed rangelands.
“Most small banks over the est-
tle country can't afford to assume
the full risk involved snd let the
hard-hit ranchers have enough
money to tide them over." Poage
added
"Many banks already have ex-
tended their credit to the limit.
They don’t want to foreclose and
take over livestock put up as se-
curity, because that would only
further depress the market.”
Rep. Ikard said the drought to
acute over a wide section of
West Texas and adjacent areas of
New Mexico snd Oklahoma.
Government Corn
Ikard said a possible solution to
the problem is to sell government-
owned surplus stores of corn to
the cattle growers st s discount.
Another proposal, opposed by
the Midwestern corn growers. Is
to remove price supports on the
grain so it will go on the market
at a lower figure.
The situation is described by
Charles Morrison, manager of the
Farm snd Rsnch Department of

Accidental
RANGER, June 9 (RNS)-Death
of Mrs Alts Louise (Blue)
Graves, 37, who was shot shoot
4:30 p. m. Sunday while on a hunt-
ing trip 15 miles south of Ranger,
wrs ruled accidents! by Justice of
Pesce Charles Bobo Tuesday.
An inquest wss held Monday but
a verdict was withheld pending
further investigation. Justice Bobo
said Tuesday morning that Elmo
Boyett, 9, son of Mrs. Anns Bell
Boyett of Ranger, was holding a
.22 caliber rifle when it was acci-
dentally discharged. Mrs Boyett
and her two sons, Elmo and Bob-
by Gene 7, were hunting with
Mrs. Graves.
Justice Bobo said the led was
putting the gun on safety when it
was discharged. The bullet entered
Mrs. Graves’ back just under the
shoulder and passed through the
heart area, he said.
Both were looking for a squirrel
in a tree when the accident oc-
curred.
Funeral Held
Funeral for Mrs. Graves was
held at 10 a. m. Tuesday in the
Ranger First Methodist Church
with the Rev. D D. Bryan, pas-
tor of the Second Baptist ′ Church
here, officiating. Burial was to Ev-
ergreen Cemetery under the direc-
tion at Morris Funeral Home.
Mrs. Graves was born to Miami,
Okls, May 29, 1916. She was a
member of the Methodist Church.
Pallbearers were Roscoe Hop-
per, Ralph Pancake. George Bog-
era, Jack Mace Chick Brown and
Garland Pancake
Survivors include a son, Johnny
Hayden Graves, 17, a Ranger High
School student.
SKUNK FOLLOWS BURGLAR
THROUGH BROKEN WINDOW
If the theory of police and an Abilene service station
operator is true, a would-be burglar probably left fast
Monday night after breaking a window.
Police said a window was broken in the H. T. Fleming
Service Station, 1050 Treadaway Blvd. For the past seven
or eight months, Fleming has kept a pet skunk named
‘ Stinky" at the station. The skunk, deodorized, runs
loose like any other house pet.
Police said the glass was neatly picked from the
window casing. They theorized the burglar stuck his
head in the window, then retreated.
Fleming said Tuesday noon the skunk also was miss-
ing, but said it may have wandered off, perhaps through
the broken window. "Stinky" is the same skunk which
was captured running loose in Abilene recently by a po-
lice officer, who didn't know at the time the skunk was
deodorized. ”
Tuesday is the second time the animal has been missing
since it has been staying at the service station, Fleming
said.
