Refugio.-—Two men and a girl
were injured about 12:40 a.m.
Monday, July 25, near Refugio
when the foreign convertible
auto they were traveling in
went off the road through a
fence and overturned.
'Jay Wilson, 25, of Amarillo,

possible broken pelvis, and was
transferred to Spohn Hospital

cars new grain in from dif-
ferent areas in Refugio county
for a total of 347 cars.
'Farmers will start defoliat-
ing cotton in about two weeks
in areas Where cotton is the
most mature. Cotton yields are
expected to be spotty just as
the grain is. Beside the water
damage, insects have been
taking a toll or will be so ex-
pensive because of the continu-
ous application of insecticide
that profits will be way down
from last year.
Refugio County cotton pro-
ducers have had more insects
this year than in many years
past. The Austwell-Tivoli area
reports boll worms, tobacco
bud worms and boll weevils.
Ranges are starting to dry,
but are furnishing good graz-
ing. Ranges are better than a
good number of years. Beef
cattle are still in excellent con-
dition, although hot weather is
causing some shrinkage. Sec-
ond crop hay is being harvest-
ed or will be harvested soon.
