Deer Stocking

area rather than in the middle
of it. I’m two miles from the
county line, on Aquilla Creek.”
HUBERT RAINER _ There’s
some bad about it and some
good . . . but the boys who have
timber will be helped by it. I
just have a patch of land ... 35
acres . . . but several pretty
good places join me. W. H.
Smith and Charley Jones . . .
and it’s ideal there. It’ll help
them, and because of that. I’m
for it. Besides, I go to Jolley-
ville near Austin to hunt deer,
and I’d a lot rather go here,
and be back home by 9 o’clock
in the morning, rather than
drive down there and spend the
night or maybe two nights.”
Biologist Emmett Smith, who
is in charge of trapping and re-
stocking of deer for the Parks
and Wildlife Department, said
if 10,000 acres is made avail-
able to the program, it would be
stocked with 100 deer . . . half
bucks and half does.
He said the landowners will
have nine months to get
enough agreements signed to
put the program into effect.
If it goes over, stocking will
be made sometime after next
October.
How good is the proposed area
for deer?
‘ I’d say it is about average,”
Smith said. “Maybe better than
average . . . some of it is real
good. I’ll say this, I’ve seen
deer on areas a whole lot
worse.”
And what does Smith think
of deer as an added crop for
landowners?
’'’Deer, when properly har- |
vested, can be the best stock a
landowner has. During the
drought, I’ve had a lot of land-
owners tell me deer made them
the only clear money they made
. . . when they’d get their deer
lease money, they’d go buy feed
for their cattle.”
And that may be the point
which puts the program across.
They call it the lure of that
greenback.
At the time of the Civil War,
'some 80 per cent of our popu-
lation lived on farms. Now,
barely 20 per cent do.

Farmers Vote
To Continue
Cotton Curbs
Initial returns from Tuesday's
farmer referendum gave top
heavy endorsement to continua-
tion next year of federal pro-
duction controls on cotton.
Preliminary returns from four
of the 20 states gave 12.602 votes
for marketing quotas and 982
against. This was a favorable
margin of slightly more than
92 per cent — far above the
necessary two-thirds.
McLennan County farmers
backed the cotton marketing
quota by a vote of 338 to 3V.
The control program is de-
signed to help prevent overpro-
duction of a crop of which there
is a surplus.
Under the program, growers
will be free to market only the
cotton grown on their acreage
allotment. Excess cotton would
be subject to heavy penalty tax.
Growers have never rejected
controls on cotton.
Mrs. Treva Leverton of Dallas
has been undergoing medical
treatment in a Dallas hospital.

Tokio Robber v i
Pleads Guilty;
Gets 7 Years
Because the district attorney’s
office knocked a reference to a
gun out of an indictment, Bob-
by Joe Foy was able to enter a
plea of guilty to robbery by as-
sault in 54th District Court. He
received a seven-year sentence.
A grand jury indicted Foy for
robbery with firearms of a store
in Tokio on August 28. This is a
capital offense and calls for a
jury trial. The waiver filed last
Thursday in effect reduced the
charge and enabled Foy to enter
his plea before the court.
Robert Lee (Coal OiDSpratt
received a 10-year sentence last
Friday for the same robbery and
a third youth was sent to the
state training school at Gates-
ville.
