Del Rio Wins First
Game from Sonora
The High School baseball, season
opened with a slow game between the
Del Dio High team and the inexper
ienced Sonora team. The game was
marred by the poor playing jf the
Sonora team, the majority of the piny
ers being extremely nervous for the
first few innings. However, after
they survived the first part of the
game, they played fairly good brand
of high school ha eball. Several

New Wool and
Mohair Specialist
at A. & M. College

Special to the Devil’s River News.
COLLEGE STATION, Tex., April
5—W. H. Dameron, who recently suc-
ceeded Frank Grayson, resigned, as
wool and mohair specialist for the Tex
us Agricultural Experiment Station,
comos to the Texas Station with an
unusual acquaintance with the* details
and the practical problems of the
<hcep and goat industry of Texas
As an infant only two years old,
Mr. Dameron was introduced to the
industry in Texas when his parents
moved from Virginia to n »heep and
goat ranch at Mertzon where he was
peared. He is now 29 years old and
his entire career has been given to
making the “heep and gont industry
successful, not only from the stand-
ooint of ranch nractices but in the
light information.
Before coming to the Texas Sta-
ion Mr. Dameron spent four years in
Wyoming, taking a course in the
State University at Lai anile. Last
fall nnd summer he was assistant
county agent in Park County, Wyo-
SILVEIV.TOWN ON THE AIR.

ming, where the sheep ar.d wool In-
dustries are important. On comple-
tion of his university course last year
he received his Bachelor’s degree, hav
ing specialized in wool under Dean
John A. Hill, nationally recognized
authority on this subject.
Among the principal duties of the
wool and mohair specialist of the Tex-
as Agricultural Experiment Station
is the operution of the wool and mo-
hair scouring plant of the station
wherein the shrinkage and general
qualities of the fleeces are determined
und the producer udvised accordingly.
The exact knowledge of the market
grad* of his wool und mohair and of
its percentage of shrinkage enables
the grower to know exactly what he
has to offer and about what it is
worth when he comes to market his
clip. The wool and mohair scouring
plant ulso plays an important part
in the scientific sdudies of wool and
mohair production problems. Much
of the wool und mohair produced at I
Substation No. 14 nenr Sonora is
sent to the wool and mohair scouring
plant for detailed studies of shrink-
age, fineness, strength, und other im-
portant characteristics.
Under the direction of J. M. Jones,
chief of the runge animal husbuudry
department of the Experiment Station
system, Mr. Dameron assumes lead- |
ership in the wool and mohair re-1
search activities of the leading state |
in wool and inohair production. The
1925 Yearbook of the United .Hates |
Department of Agriculture “hows Tex
as produced 24,985,000 pounds of
wool in 1925 as against 22,.'160,000 lbs.
for Wyoming, the next highest pro-
ducer. When it comes to mohair, all
the other states combined do not pro
duee quite one-fourth as much as 'lex
as, according to the authorities on
the Angora goat industry.
Marion Stokes went to his ranch
this week but did not stay.
Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Murchison of
Menard were in Sonora lust week-end
visiting relatives and many friends
here. Mrs. Murchison was formerly
Miss Willie Mae Winn of Sonora and
was one of the very popular and
pretty girls reared here.
Mrs. Fred Turner of Del Rio is vis-
iting on the Russell Martin ranch this
week, and with Mr. and Mrs. Martin
and daughter, Elizabeth, were in town j
Wednesday. Mrs. Turner was for-
merly Miss Bill Martin, another very
popular girl of this place.
