Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Cam-
bron, owners of the JB Ranch
southwest of Electra, have
been plagued with packs of
coyotes coming into their cor-
i*als in recent weeks and kil-
ling four ewes, two weathers
and two rams.
Fourteen of the Cambrons
lambs were killed in the
spring of 1970.
Efforts by the state trap-
per for this area have turned
up numerous coyote corpses
and evidence that the packs
arc eating their own dead.
Desperate need for food
and water has given the wild
animals courage to move into
lots and corrals of the ran-
chers. Mr. Cambron has
caught several raccoons and
skunks in traps. They have
killed all of his chickens and
peacocks.
Frost, freezes plus dry and
windy weather have material-
ly increased fire hazards
throughout the state, Pasture
and range fires can swiftly
completely wipe out winter
feed reserves, destroy wild-
life and its habitat and leave
the soil bare and unprotec-
ted from water and wind ero-
sion. Keep fire plans active
until the soil moisture situa-
‘ tion improves.

Basal treatment of individu-
al trees is best done when
soil is dry and cracked away
from the trunk of the tree
at the surface. Conversely,
mechanical methods like chain
ing are most successful when
soil moisture is adequate to
permit uprooting.

Nearly three-fifths of the Na-
tion's land area is privately
owned rural land. A high per-
centage of this land Is in
crops, pasture, range or other
non-forest agriculture. Thus
the watersheds that sustain
municipal and industrial uses
are largely agricultural. And
even the most highly urban
populations, whether they re-
alize it or not, must look to
farmers and ranchers for
protection of their basic re-
sources.

----- Former Electran
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Nail
of Oklaunlon are the parents
of a daughter, Katrinna Dian-
ne, first baby born m Wil-
*• barger County this year.
' Mrs. Nail is the former
'Rosemary Spears, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Spears
of Electra. Her husband is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam
Nail of Vernon. Great-grand-
parents of the infant are Mr.
and Mrs. Clem Nail of Ok-
launion.
The seven pound, four oun-
ce infant was born Saturday,
Jan. 2, at Wilbarger General
Hospital. Dr. M. J. Moore
was assisted by Mrs. John
Neighbors, a veteran nurse
who was also present at the
old Vernon Clinic-Hospital and
assisted when both the father
and mother of the first baby
were born.
Also welcoming the infant
was a brother, Douglas Nail
Jr., bom June 20, 1969.
A large variety of gifts
was presented to the parents
and the baby from Vernon
merchants.
Mrs. S. B. Faulkner has re-
turned from a Christmas vi- .
sit with her son, Robert Faulk- .

her way she stopped to visit
Rev. and Mrs. Foy Thomas

whose husband died a couple
of months ago. Enroute home
she visited Miss Dorothy Gil-
bert in Dallas.

Total manhours required in
farming have declined from
23 billion in 1930 to 15 billion
in 1950 to 7 billion in 1968.
Consequently, output per man-
hour doubled in the two de-
cades between 1930 and 1950,
and almost tripled in the 20
years since 1950.

Deaths from accidents in
the U. S. last December to-
taled 10,100. Down slightly
from the year before but 700
more than the monthly aver-
age. Top killers were motor
vehicle accidents, followed by
fire and falls. National Safe-
ty Council studies show that
it pays to be doubly careful
during the Christmas and New
Year’s holidays. The life you
save could be your own.

Animal parasites, most of
which could be controlled,
cost livestock producers mil-
lions of dollars each year.
Total losses are even higher
when diseases to which para-
site-weakened animals fall vic-

It is rather easy to note
infestations of external para-
sites, but much more difficult
to know about those which
work internally, explains Coun-

Harmony is found in ba-
lance. Only when all elements
of the musical composition
are in balance, with no one
part dominating, is harmony
attained. The glands of the
body must function properly,
keeping the internal chemis-
try in balance before the har-
mony known as good health
can be achieved and main-
tained. The illusions are end-
less - income must balance
with outgo, work must ba-
lance with play, wakefulness
must balance with sleep.
Upset the balance significant-
ly in any of these relation-
ships and disharmony is the
consequence.
The Bible-believer recog-
nizes that, even more impor-
tantly, the material must be
balanced with the spiritual.
Man is a religious creature
and to be in disharmony with
his Creator is to invite, among
other things, illness and un-
happiness. When the spiritual
needs of the human being are
given little or no attention,
the scales tip heavily in favor
of the material and the balan-
ce necessary for enjoyable
living is upset. In their more
honest moments, most people
admit that their lives lack
deep and full meaning but in
trying to fill the void they
merely add more things with
which to occupy the mind.
The result, of course, is that
the imbalance becomes great-
er, the disharmony grows
more severe, and tension- fil-
led unhappiness multiplies.
The only solution is to restore
the proper material- spiritual ,
balance. Start with the Bible.
Wga.The littlest Chevy ever.
It wasn’t changed from anything.
Before building Vega, we read
everything we could get our hands on
about little cars. We talked to owners.
We studied little cars up one side and
down the other and, literally, tore them
apart. We found out what made them
tick, or why they didn’t tick.
What ticked were gas economy and
dependability. What didn’t were
underpowered engines, cramped quarters
and getting blown around in the wind.
In our little Vega, everything ticks.
It’s not just another little car. You
didn’t want that. It’s one little car
that does everything well.
Caprice. The biggest, most luxurious
Chevrolet ever. A complete change.
Bigness in itself is nothing.
But if it allows you to lengthen the
distance between the front and rear
wheels (which we did), then you’ve got
something.
You’ve got a smoother ride.
The idea in the 1971 Caprice was to
give you the looks and comfort of a
six- or seven-thousand-dollar car,
without asking you to pay anywhere near
that much for it. And above all, to build
in as much dependability and security
as possible.
So we changed the body structure
for 1971, too, We made it stronger. And
we made it quieter by putting a double
layer of steel in the roof.
Caprice, as you can see below, is a
lot of luxury at a Chevrolet price.

TULSA—Independents and
^combines bolstered,,with -fi-
nancing from reserve-starved
gas companies dominated the-
■bidding at the Offshore Loui-
siana federal lease sale Dec.
15.
i While it is impossible to ar-
rive at a precise amount
spent by gas pipelines and
gas-oriented producers, it is
apparent that about 60 per-
cent of the total high bids
were made with at least some
gas-industry money, The Oil
and Gas Journal says in its
Dec. 21 Issue.
A stunning $851,388,598.76 in.
total high bids surpassed the
previous federal sale record
of $602.6 million for Santa
Barbara Channel wildcat
tracts in February 1968. And
for a time the long-delayed
gulf sale appeared to threat-
en even the $900-milllon total
spent in Alaska's sale of
state leases on the North
Slope in September 1969, the
Journal says.
Though there were token
bids on almost all the acre-
age, the heavy bidders put
their big money on tracts
within the zone of so-called
subsurface "control’’ and near
developing production - al-
though operators with sup-
posedly the most knowledge
of specific areas were not
always successful. And the
Journal notes that several
tracts in far-out deeper wat-
ers also attracted considerab-
le ’interest as bidders relied
largely on geophysical data
for guidance.
Pennzoil Offshore Gas
Operators Inc. (POGO) ap-
peared to have participated
in the biggest cash outlay -at
the sale. POGO and its part-
ners had high bids totaling
$153.3 miliion on nine tracts.
POGO, bidding on its own
and at times with Mesa Pe-
troleum, Ashland Oil and Re-
fining Co., Texas Production,
and Mobil Oil Corp, made of-
fers on 45 tracts in all.
Most of top-dollar acreage
lies between the 150 and 240-
foot water-depth contours in
West Cameron and East Ca-
meron areas and in a tight
section of Eugene Island area
in 200 to 240-feet. of water. -
The sale’s high bld Was for
Eugene Island Block 296,
which cost a combine led by
Trans Ocean Oil Inc. $38.2
million (7,636.87 an acre for
5,000 acres).
The tract is just southeast
of Block 273 gas field and
southwest of oil in Block 276
field. Forest Oil Corp, is ex-
panding a 10-block gas search
not far to the west.
The most expensive lease
per acre turned out to be
2,500-acre East Cameron Block
270, the Journal says, which
drew $32.2 million from a
team of POGO, Mesa, Texas
Production, and Mobil. The
bid of $12,874.79 per acre top-
ped a per-acre mark estab-
lished in 1959 when Shell paid
$10,442 per acre for some
wildcat acreage.
The Journal notes that East
Cameron 270 has rank wildcat
credentials. It Is at least 15
miles from nearest gas pro-
duction in Block 265 field on
the west.
The oilmen interviewed at
the New Orleans sale by the
Journal expressed the general
view that the size of sale
wasn't surprising because Off-
shore Louisiana is one of he
coming areas and most were
sorry they weren’t successful
on even more acreage.

Change. Thatis what itk all about
this year. And thatis what we mean
by putting you first.
These are uneasy times.
There are major concerns. About
pollution. About safety. About the
economy. About your hard-earned
dollar. We know.
For tiie past 10 years Chevrolet
research people have questioned
thousands of people on every subject
from rising taxes to the size of the
glovebox in their cars.
We’ve found that price and
maintenance costs, trade-in value and
quality have become tremendously
important.
Your car has to work. It has to
last. And each new model must have
more built-in value.
At Chevrolet, we understand.
You want meaningful change. And
our aim is to give that to you, as you’ll
see in the 1971 Chevrolets.
an when internal parasites
are suspected.
The best way to control pa-
rasites is to break their life
cycle. This may be done by
preventing infection of the ani-
mal by the free-living forms
of the parasite, through prop-
er nutrition, pasture rotation,
cleanliness, and good sanita-
tion practices. In areas of in-
tense livestock production, slat
ted floors for penned animals
held prevent reinfection from
contaminated wastes.
Most livestock need regular
worming treatments to de-
stroy internal parasites until
the animal is old enough to
establish immunity. Even af-
terwards, periodic worming
may be helpful when com-
bined with proper manage-
ment says the county agent.
External parasites are best
controlled by the application
of recommended sprays or
’dusts or systemics.
Serious parasite problems
call for the advice and assis-
tance of a veterinarian.
Most livestock producers will
find information contained in
Extension publication, MP-691,
‘Texas Guide for Controlling
External Parasites of Live-
stock and Poultry’’ valuable.
Copies are available from the
county agent’s office in Wi-
chita Falls.

Consumers can thank the
Nation’s farmers and their
efficiency for helping keep
food prices stable during the
past decade. The American
farmer produces over 20
percent more on six percent
fewer acres than he did in
the 1957-59 period.
In 1969, one U.S. farmer
supplied the food and fiber
for 45 persons, up from 23 in
1957-59. Output per manhour
on the farm increased
percent between 1957-69.
Food prices rose less than
three-fourths as much as all
other consumer goods in the
past 10 years.
The county agent notes
that prices for food away
from home have increased
much more than- food served
at home. By June 1970, prices
for restaurant meals were 55
percent higher than in 1957-59.
Prices for all food at retail
stores were up about 28 per-
cent.
