Looks as if the argument
among DeWitt county sports-
men regarc ing the best means
of preserving game in this
section is i.ttracting attention
not only in Cuero but in some
of our neighboring cities.
Andy Anderson, sports writer
of the Houston Press, in his
regular column, "Fishing and
Hunting With Andy,” reports
quite a bit bf interest in De-
Witt county’s movement being
evidenced m Houston. "A very
enthusiast! i hunter phoned
me today t< > discuss the move-
ment by DeWitt county farm-
ers to have the quail season
closed,” Andy* writes. “I be-
lieve that hunters from the
large cities, especially Hous-
ton, have antagonized the
farmers. I know of instances
when so jailed sportsmen
have broken down fences,
shot at quf il close enough to
' 1 farm houses to endanger the
lives of the} farmers’ families,
and committed other viola-
tions of the sportsman’s
code,” And ;rson’s informer
declared. Tie Houston Sports
writer’s information is en-
tirety correct. DeWitt farmers
are not exactly antagonized.
They are Just seeking the best
iheans of conserving a fast
