160 ACRE LIMITATION?
WASHINGTON—You may be among the scattered
few who think the Federal government by now surely
must recognize that its intervention into the affairs of peo-
ple and private enterprise increasingly does more harm
than good.
You would think that after all the promises of the last
election to roll back excessive regulation, someone in
Washington would consider backing up all the rhetoric
with decisive policy.
Think again.
Fresh examples of arbitrary and often contradictory
regulations crop up almost daily, and a proposed ruling
handed down by the Secretary of the Interior raises some
rather alarming possibilities for the future of the Nation’s
agricultural economy. We all might do well to pause and
consider the implications.
The Secretary’s proposed ruling, stemming from a little-
enforced 1902 law, limits the size of individual farms to
160 acres, as well as outlaws absentee ownership of farm-
land irrigated by Federal water projects. This proposed
ruling throws into question issues which go far beyond
the Federal government’s attempt to make it easier for
small farmers to buy land, and thus to play a larger role in
producing this country’s food and fiber.
Principally arising from a controversy in California, the
ruling could have consequences for all other states, includ-
ing Texas, which have farmland irrigated by Federal wa-
ter projects.
The proposed ruling really boils down to a question of
who has the right to own land, in what size parcels, and
based on whose judgment—in this case, the Federal gov-
ernment’s.
Much more is assumed about the result of this proposed
ruling than the Federal government can justify with fact.
For example, the small farmer who is presumed to be
the beneficiary of the plan might not benefit at all. Resale
of the land large owners would be forced to sell would be
conducted by lottery, and there is every likelihood that
farmers from the middle to upper income brackets would
have the first option to buy.
Would such a large scale land redistribution plan help
or hinder our national efforts for adequate farm produc-
tion at prices consumers can afford and at the same time
allow farmers to realize a reasonable profit? At this point,
it’s clearly unclear.
Many farmers and agricultural experts disagree over the
size farm necessary to be economic in today’s topsy-turvy
economy because of the large amounts of capital required.
Would 160 acres turn a profit and be self-sustaining?
Tractors and other implements of modem day technology
cost a great deal of money. Farmers strapped just to come
up with down payments on choice tracts would face the
prospect of further indebtedness for the required ma-
chinery. Would the plan then only further the growing
crisis of farmers leaving the land because of the increasing
difficulty to realize a return on investment?
Most importantly, should the Federal government be
allowed to assume such unprecedented authority over the
traditional ways in which technology has best utilized
America’s land abundance to maximize growth and main-
tain our preeminence in world agriculture?
Many more questions are raised than can be answered.
And this is just the point. We don’t know yet if wiser
courses are available to us to achieve the same ends. Leg-
islation I have cosponsored would delay such a sweeping
Federal mandate for one year, at least providing time to
assess economic and environmental considerations. On
balance, it’s a small price to pay.

mann Sons Summer Youth
Camp near Comfort this sum-
mer, Louis B. Engelke, San An-
tonio, grand president of the or-
der, has announced.

tended, Engelke said. This year
a total of 1,479 — 850 girls and
629 boys, ages nine through J3

between May 29 and Aug. 13.
Girls have six sessions and
boys five.
Besides the camp director,
nearly 30 carefully-chosen staff
members with special ex-
pertise in various sports and
crafts work at the camp.
Campers receive instruction in
various sports and crafts work

instruction in various sports,
including horseback riding,
swimming, canoeing, archery,
tennis and golf, plus sessions in

Located in the southeast
corner of Kerr County in a typi-
cal Hill Country setting, the
camp is near the Guadalupe
River which flows swiftly
through towering oak and cy-
press trees. Campers live in
air-conditioned dormitories and
enjoy a modern swimming
pool, tennis courts and baseball
facilities.
This season four campers
came from outside Texas.
There was one from London,

HUNTING—
(Continued from page 1)
turkeys and doe permits avail-
able, to as much as $5,000.00 for
the season if leased to a com-
pany or firm ... the company
to determine number of guns,
then, to be allowed or per-
mitted.
Some leases are listed with
exotic game, Barbado Sheep,
some have quail, ducks, wild
hogs, running streams, ponds
and /.or lakes.
The variety of leases and
types of game is varied and
hunters have their choice in
making selections from a nice
range of acreage as well as
prices, accommodations, etc.
DEER HARVEST
Local Game Wardens have
indicated that the deer harvest
this year, for 1977, will prob-
ably exceed that of last year,
1976, since it is expected that
weather conditions will be
better. Last year virtually
every weekend saw rainy or
dismal weather and hunters
could not get out into the
hunting leases as they had de-
sired. The final weekend, last
year, saw the best weather for
outdoor activities and the
Game Wardens reported that
the final weekend for 1976 saw
the best deer kill of that entire
season.
About 14 to 15,000 deer were
killed in the county last year.
Whether the deer are as
plentiful and as big and fat re-
mains to be seen. As always,
there is considerable specu-
lation on this topic with some
landowners indicating that the
deer are in good shape, plenty
of ’em, while from other re-
ports and from other parts of

Sunken treasure
AUSTIN, Texas (Spl.) -
Encrusted globs from the bot-
tom of the sea are being “re-
born” as valuable treasures
from sunken Spanish galleons,
thanks to a University of Tex-
as laboratory working under a
project of the Texas An-
tiquities Commission.
Within the past decade,
UT’s Texas Archaeological
Research Laboratory has
cleaned and preserved hun-
dreds of artifacts (from can-
nons to crucifixes) found in
three Spanish ships that sank
in the mid-1500’s off the Texas
Gulf Coast.
Through complex conserva-
tion techniques it has devised,
particularly in the use of elec-
trolysis to preserve metal ar-
tifacts, the UT lab has ac-
quired an international
reputation for underwater
archeology.

reportedly is not up to par due
to the months of drouth this
summer. Lack of rain in July,
when only 0.02 was recorded
officially for Fredericksburg,
and some other dry months this
summer, probably hurt the
deer. However, there report-
edly are plenty of acorns in
most sections of the county
which should help fatten deer
considerably in recent weeks.
