During the past fiscal year
the report showed oil production
Ir. 136 Texas counties. Five years
ago, in 1934, production was
found tn only 103 counties.
Over that period of years, the
two principal counties in the
great East Texas field—Oregg
and Rusk—have maintained
their leadership as the principal
oil producing counties of the
state, and Duval was third, fol-
lowed by Nueces, Ector, Brazoria,
Winkler, Wichita, Harris and
Gray.
In 1934, the Conroe field plac-|
ed Montgomery county In third
place, Pecos county, In West
Texas was fourth largest produc-
er: Van Zandt, in which the Van
field is located, was fifth. The
other four leading counties were
Gray, Upshur, Fort Bend and Ar-
cher.
Next year, in 1935, Pecos had
supplanted Montgomery for third
place; Archer was pushed out of
the list, Duval was among tlm
first ten In 1938-39, excepting
for the two leaders, the picture
Sheppard’s report showed- tax
payments during the past fiscal
year amounted to $13J6IJ73, re-
presenting an average tax of
3.91 cents per barrel on 469,630,-
6M earai; imo previous risen
year, the tax was $16,066,077, or
3.96 cento per barrel on 469,894,-
309 barrels.
The state tax Is not less than
9 3-4 eento per barrel, not more
than 2 -3-4 per cent of vatae, and
fluctuations In price between
those extremes made for the dif-
ference. Average tax In other
years: 1937, 3.01 cento per barrel;
1936, the year the tax was In-
creased from 2 to 2 3-4 per cent,
2 11 cents per barrel; 193S, 2.03
gents per barrel; 1934, 2.05 cento
per barrel.

AUSTIN With the hunting
season in full sway In Texas, the
Texas Game. Fish and Oyster
Commission has issued an appeal
to every sportsman to treat eve^y
gun as if it were loaded, and has
best ptnC out a series of rules.which If
observed, would do much to les-
son the tragedies of accidents in
fields and woods.
"It Is the 'unloaded' gun which
does the most damage." the game
chief pointed out, "And if the
following rules are observed
there will be more sportsmen to
take the fields another day:"
Carry only empty guns, taken
down or with the actions open,
into your automobile, camp or
home
Always be sure the barrel and
action are clear of obstructions
Always carry your gun so that
you can control the direction of
the muzzle, even if you stumble
Never point a gun at anything
you do not want to shoot.
Be sure of veur target before
you pull 'he trigger
Never leave a loaded gun un-
| attended
I Never climb a tree or fence

Texas sportsmen are becoming
more sportsmanlike, in the < pin-
ion "f the Game Department,
which has received numerous re-
P rt from many game wardens
-.nee the dove season opened de-
tailing fewer violations this year
Mum ut any time In the history
if file department
There was a time when the
ri ve hunter, if :i covey of quail
got up in front of him.wasn't
the slightest bit reluctant about
firing into the birds. However,
law enforcement and the educat-
ing nf sportsmen to the needs of
pioper observance of game laws
has brought about the change,
the game department head be-
lieves
Few wardens have found It
necessary this fall to file cases
against sportsmen for hunting
quail out of-season, the Executive
Secretary said. The quail season
does not open until December 1
Texas i.s richer thany any other
State in the number ol' birds and
the variety and species found
there Approximately 700 species
and sUb-species have been listed
The warm climate 1n winter
along the Gulf coast Is a natural
attraction to migratory birds and
these supplement the native va-
riety which includes the Mock-
ingbird and many others, among
which is the lovely plumed
American Egret whose range Is
on the Texas coast and, when
the nesting season Is over, is
sometimes found wandering over
the southern and central part of
the State. This beautiful bird,
with others, once faced extinc-
tion when it was hunted chiefly
for the plumage with which to
adorn ladles' hats. It was sav-
ed by the Federal Migratory Bird
Law of March 4. 1913.
In south central and west Tex-
as it is probable there ^ire more
wild turkeys than anywhere else
in the country.

Thousands of Texans, knowing
Lhe early fall and winter months
are better for (L«hlng than the
summertime, are haunting their
favorite lakes ajid streams and to
these, in answer to many inqui-
ries, the Oame Department’s
chief aquatic biologist has been
sending word that no parasites
which live In fishes found In
,,Texas waters are harmful to hu-
man beings if the fish are well
cooked Even the dreaded tape-
worm Is killed by cooking, but
the biologist is stressing the fact
that all fish should be WELL
COOKED.
