Rio Grande Valley Citrus Groves
Scene Of Scientific Experiment
Texas and federal insert ex-
perts stood by and watched with
scientific detachment recent-
ly, while clouds of Mexican fruit
flies swarmed over Rio Grande
Valley citrus groves.
Usually a matter of grave
-concern to citrus growers, the
fruit fly invaders were products
of a Mexico City laboratory
where they had been sterilized
for safety and color-dyed for
easy identification.
>• i ■
“These '/lies are the latest
word in ‘migratory workers'
from South of the Border,’’ ex-
plained Agriculture Commission-
er Jdhn White. "By comparing
the color-coded flies later caught
in traps with their orginal re-
least points, We can learn a
great deal about their traveling
habits. The information will be
useful in establishing new in-
sect control measures to protect
our citrus crops.” ^
The artifical infestation is be-
ing- tried initially on 80 acres of
citrus trees in Hidalgo County,
with releases varying from 10 to
100 flies per acre. Commissioner
White assured growers that
sterilization had made the flies
incapable of laying eggs which
would normally develop into the
destructive larvae.

officials. He hSfrTelFliome^nec-
essary papers in his lab and
was not permitted to enter Tex-
as until identified by TDA Dis-
trict Supervisor J. C. Walling of
Pharr.
“We had one • bad moment
when a border guard wanted to
open the box of flies for inspec-
tion/’ said W’alling.

Research has shown that hogs
can gain 100 pounds of pork on
about 400 pounds of feed when
the temperature is 60 or 65 de-

duce a hundred pounds of gain
in 90 degree plus weather.

Texas Wildlife
by W. H. Long
I think I’ve made a discovery
that will revolutionize bass fish-
ing. It may make fish easy to
Catch, but so difficult to land,
that anglers may give up the
sport of fishing for an easier,
sport like checkers.
Yesterday I took my youngest
fishing with me, she of the mod-
ern generation of music lovers.
She took along her transistor ra-
dio. I was easting pretty seri-
ously and she was listening to
some modern music. You know
the sound, it resembles a bass
purist who has just played a 6-
pounder to the boat only to have
him sit out the lure and go
back where fish tike. to live. |
You could hear the weeping
and wailing, the moaning and
cussing in a foreign tongue, and
the sobbing. You could hear
the minnow bucket getting kick-
ed to the other end of the boat,
the banging of the head on the
gunwale, and the cracking of
knuckles. It was horrible.

IF YOU ENJOY standing in line — IF YOU GET a
kick out of twiddling your thumbs while the wife
puts^on two more coats of school girl complexion
— just skip the rest of this.
OTHERWISE how about getting the car in shape
and getting the inspection sticker on it NOW —
rather than at the last minute.

This seemed to lure fish, big
ones, and they swirled the top
of the water. They probably
thought my lure was making the
hook, and liis first rush brought
him dancing to the top of the
water. When he jumped I could
see his bulldog jaw holding the
lure, his fins in wild disarray,
and his red eyes glaring bale-
fully, at that little radio. In 30
years of fishing I've never seen
a fish try so desperately to get
awayl He was hooked firmly'
but he was listening, and he
wanted to escape the caterwaul-
ing. Our movement in the boat
knocked the radio off the seat
arid this caused the volume to
get really loud and he almost
went into hysterics trying to get
to the other side of the lake.
When I raised his three pouri’js
over the side, he flopped a time
or two and then began trying to
dog-paddle to the other end of
the boat. It took five minutes to
get him in the boat, arid anoth- party
er five to get the net on him,

night, accompanied at the piano
by Mrs. Jjm Caraway. With se-

depicted the various stages of
acquaintance, courtship, love,
marriage, the honeymoon and

fit each stage of the drama.
Mrs. J. L. Lane was honor

Enrollment At Tarleton College
Shows Gain Over 1963 Registration
Spring semester enrollment at
Tarleton State College reached
1,120 on the first day of Regis-
tration Monday, according to
Stuart Chilton, registrar,
This was a 5.7 per cent gain
in students over the comparable
date one year ago, when 1,059
enrolled. Chilton termed the
Monday signup “probably the
largest number of Students ever
registered at Tarleton in a sin-
gle day.” • ,
Spring registration will con-
tinue through February 17.
The sophomore class was the
only one that did not show an
Increase over last year. Fresh-
men enrollment was up from
559 to 586; sophomore totals
dropped from 302 to 297; the
junior class total rose from 122

sigh, artd lay still.
I was tired after the battle,
didn’t dare try to play the radio
again, but spent the rest of he
day fishing the sun-warmed wa-
ters near shore. Casting a shal-
low-water lure near the bank,
retrieving in short jerks, we
found fish in four feet of water,
typical for this time of year. A
topwater Lucky 13 caught one
keeper, but most of them were a
little farther out. Purple worms
fished on the bottom, allowed to
lie, very still, found fish. Warm
winter days are Ideal for the
bass to drive the shad to shore-
lines, chase them in for the kill.
Deepwater fishing, except in 30
feet or more, isn’t too product-
ive, except with live bait or
large jigs.
Big male bass will soon be
rootjng nests in sandy gravel*
bars, and the wise angle- will
locate these areas by trolling a
plastic worm out of the boat,
carefully remembering the rises
and humps in the lake bottom.
This knowledge will pay off in
the spring months. /
Henry Turney, Women of Rota-
ry president.
The Invocation was given by
Rev. Dean Bradley, introduc-
tions of recent members and
guests were made, and the pro-
gram was introduced by Mrs.
Jewel Humphreys. Mrs, T. C.
Granberry and Mrs. Leslie Bill-
ingsley were in charge of ar-
rangements.
The party was closed in the
traditional manner, as Mrs.
Earl B. Moore accompanied and
led the group in singing, "Let
Me Call You Sweetheart.”
HISTORICAL NOTE: When the
State School Land Board looked
over the list of goodfaith. claim-
ants .at its meeting, it noted that
one man who claimed 9.59 acres
of mesquite dotted rangeland in
Zavala County is the grandson
of the man who served as Land
Commissioner more than a cen-
tury ago.
He is Murray G. Smyth Jr.,
whose grandfather, George Wil-
liam Smyth, was Land Comipis-
sioner from 1848 to 1852.
