TEXAS GAME, FISH, AND
OYSTER NEWS
Violations Really Vary
While the Texas Game, Fish
and Oyster Commission would
rather, much rather ,have hunt-
ers and fishermen observe the
many laws enacted by the legis-
lature, which total more than
700, it is necessary that some
arrests be made. A check of a
recent monthly report of ar-
rests by wardens made in the
Austin office reveals an interest
ing cross section of the variety
of laws which can be violated
afield and on streams.
Several hundred arrests dur-
ing the month checked revealed
tl\at there were violations in one
way or another of thirty-seven
different laws. They varied
from killing prairie chickens,
upon which there will be no
open season for five years; to
arrests for the lack of bait deal-
ers licenses.
One fisherman got in trouble
for netting during the closed
season. Another was fined for
possessing short fish. Still an-
other went to court because he
was destroying under-sized fish.
Several persons who had killed
deer out of season, or who had
killed doe deer, paid heavy
fines. Non-game bird hunters
paid off, as did persons killing
javelinas during the closed sea-
son. Possessing game birds out
of season wasn’t healthy for the
pocketbooks of several men.
Polluters of streams paid off.
Persons caught taking fish with
their hands found it necessary
to pay in justice court. Several
commercial fishermen and fish
dealers did not have licenses
and were caught up with by
wardens. The use of unlawful
nets got some men in trouble,
while others were arrested for
hunting ducks out of season.
And so it goes each month.
Most sportsmen observe the
laws and strive to know all the
section of the state in which
they are hurttihg or fishing; but
there are those who intention-
ally violate the laws, the game
and fish hogs and they are the
ones the Game Department feels
should be punished so there will
be more game and fish for the
sportsmen who appreciate na-
ture’s offspring for the food and
sport they can provide.
Bird Flew To San Salvador
white-wing dove banded in
Cameron County, Texas, July
31, 1940, was shot in San Sal-
vador, Central America, Oct.
15, 1940, two and a half months
later, according to word receiv-
ed recently by the Texas Game
Department. The distance the
bird covered was more than
1,200 miles, and is one of the
longest on record for white-
wing dove flights.
Another bird banded in Tex-
as was killed in Tampico, Vera
Cruz. The bird was banded and
released in Cameron County in
July, 1940, and was killed in
March of 1941.
White-wings are being band-
ed by Texas and U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service biologists to
help them obtain information as
to the habits of these game
birds. Several hundred were
banded in the Rio Grande Val-
ley last year and more were
banded in the Rio Grande Val-
ley last year and more were
banded during the nesting per-
iod this year.
■ about six feet long. According
I to Mr. Mannering, a patent med
J icine manufacturing company
! sent an uncle of his, Mr. B. G.
jLindley, a small alligator. That
! was twenty-five years ago. Mr.
! Lindley kept the reptile for sev-
! eral days. Then it escaped. The
! Lindley drug store was only a
few hundred yards from Pecan
, Bayou. It is entirely possible
the ’gator is the same one
which is frequently sighted.
Clears Up Mystery
This column recently carried
a story of an alligator which
inhabits Pectin Bayou, near
Brownwood, in West Texas. Al-
ligators are common enough in
deep east Texas, but few have
ever been seep in west Texas.
Now comes word from Mr. L. E.
Mannering of Colorado City,
Texas, which may clear up the
mystery of the Pecan Bayou
resident, which is, incidentally,
Hitch Hiking Scissor-Tails
A “Hitch-hiking” scissor-tail
flycatcher has been reported to
the Game Department by two
of its biologists. They recently
flushed a great horned owl from
a tree where he was taking his
afternoon siesta. A tiny, but
angry scissor-tail immediately
took off in pursuit of the huge
bird and twice alighted on the
broad back of the owl in flight.
The small bird did a good job
of feather pulling each time it
alighted on the owl’s back.

TEMPERATENESS
The temperate are the most
truly luxurious. By abstaining
from most things, it is surpris-
ing how many things we en-
joy.—William Gilmore Simms.
The golden rule in life is
moderation in all things.—Ter-
ence.
It is certainly a very import-
ant lesson, to learn how to en-
joy ordinary things, and to be
able to relish your being, with-
out the transport of some pas-
sion, or the gratification of
some appetite.—Steele.
Be temperate in thought,
word, and deed. Meekness and
temperance are the jewels of
Love, set in wisdom. — Mary
Baker Eddy.

today by Sergeant John L.
Marx, U. S. Army recruiting re
presentative in Victoria.

BANDED COWBIRD SHOT
BY FRANK C. KREJCI
In a letter from Mr. Frank C.
Kfrejci of the Dickson school
community he states that on
Aug 11 he killed a banded
bird on his farm and upon
sending the band number to
the United States Department
of the Interior, he was informed
that the bird carrying that band
number was a Cowbird, band-
ed March 25, 1940 at Monti-
cello, Ark. .
In the letter received by him
from the Service, it was stated
that the Service desires to have
a report on every banded bird
that may be recovered. Anyone
finding a banded bird is urged
to communicate with the Unit-
ed States Department of the In-
terior, Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice, Washington, D. C., and
give the number, date of re-
covery and the locality.

LAVACA COUNTY PEANUT
GROWERS TO RECEIVE
GOOD PRICES
Lavaca County peanut grow-
ers diverting 1941 peanuts into
the manufacture of oil and by-
products through designated
producer agencies will receive
approximately $25 more per ton
than they did under the 1940
diversion program, O. E. Her-
district mes, chairman of the Lavaca
partici- county AAA committee, an-
nounced this week.
Prices established by the
Secretary of Agriculture Aug-
)ust 8 scheduled No.
Arabia Temple s band, drum western Spanish peanuts at $88
and bugle corps and patrol—
each in their attractive uni-
forms—will be one of the fea-
tures of the parade. Military
units from Camp Hulen will
also take part and many civic
patriotic and business firms
will enter gaily decorated floats.
The opening parade is al-
ways one of the features of the
Gulf Coast Exposition and it is
anticipated that thousands of
people will be in Wharton on
this occasion.
Prominent state and national
officials have been invited and
several of them will no doubt
take an active part in the dedi-
cation of this exposition in the
agricultural and livestock en-
tries of the eight counties re-
presenting the district.

BUILDS A GREATER GULF SOUTH
★ It takes more than the work of any one man or organization to build a great industrial
region. It is a job for everybody.
★ For instance, United Gas Pipe Line Company is carrying out a program to help attract new
industries to this area audio develop greater opportunities for industries already here.
Included in this program are monthly full-page advertisements in national magazines, mailed
advertising, and personal interviews with industrialists in various parts of the country.
★ In this program the Company is working hand in hand with the Chambers of Commerce,
Governmental bodies, and other industrial development agencies in this cooperative effort
to build a greater Gulf South.
'k “Teamwork” of all Gulf South agencies has resulted in industrial growth of the area and
we are glad to do our full share toward the further industrial development of this area.
DEPENDABLE NATURAL GAS SERVICE DOESN’T JUST HAPPEN!
Entered as second class mail
matter at the postoffice in Shin-
er, Texas, under the act of Con-
gress of March 1, 1876.
per ton, No. 2 $82 and No. 3 at
$75, and the Southwestern
Peanut Growers’ Association,
Gorman, Texas, has been des-
ignated as an agency to which
growers can deliver their pea-
nuts, be said.
Under the diversion program,
only quota peanuts will be sold
at these established prices,
while “excess” peanuts will be
paid for at current oil prices.
Quota peanuts, Mr. Hermes
explained, are those produced
on the 1941 AAA peanut acre-
age allotments. Federal pay-
ments will be made to the co-
operating producers for quota
peanuts diverted to the manu-
facture of oil and by-products.
The payments will be the dif-
ference between the value of
the peanuts for oil and the
scheduled price plus handling,
storage and selling cost. The
price for “excess” peanuts, pro-
duced on acreage in excess of
acreage allotments, will not be
less than the market value for
crushing for oil on the day of
delivery less estimated costs of
handling, storing and selling,
“excess” peanuts marketed out-
side the designated agencies
will be subject to 3 cents per
pound penalty, the AAA official
pointed out.
If it is impossible to resell
excess peanuts when they are
acquired and the required
prices paid producers are more
than the amount received by
the agency when the peanuts
are sold, Federal payments are
provided to reimburse the agen
cies.
Mr. Hermes said that quota
peanuts purchased by the Co-
| operating agencies likely will
be warehoused until demand
| from the edible trade can be
determined, while non-quota
peanuts probably will be sold
to crushing nfills as soon as they
are acquired. Federal payments
however, will not be made for
quota or non-quota peanuts re-
sold to the edible trade ,or for
any purpose other than crush-
ing for oil, Mr. Hermes ex-
plained.
