Dell Valley -If you are not already watering the lawn, trees and
perennial plants, please do so. The first burst of growth on plants
indicate a dire need of plenty of water. Now would be a good
time, too, to apply a nitrogen fertilizer to shade, trees that are
well established. If you are setting out new shrubs and plants, don't
apply fertilizers until the plant is settled and growing well. A
good mulch of cotton trash, leaves or well-rotted manure, is al-
ways beneficial in Dell Valley's dry climate. A mulch will cut
down on the watering also.

Mrs. Joe Abb Neely
they were camped near the ri-
ver. They soon hurried off to the
fishing holes where several of the
the scouts hadgoodiuck( if you
call a 5" catfish and a 12" carp
good luck. They fried the fish
for dinner and the general co-
mment was "too many bones".
Saturday night was clear and
the moon and stars were shining
brightly. One of the most enjoy-
able parts of a camping trip is
sitting around the fire watching
the stars and talking about the
good times of the day. Sunday
the boys found running low on
food but high in enthusiasm. Af-
ter another quick round of fish-
ing they broke camp and headed
for Sierra Blanca about noon.
***
Many people helped in making
the trip a success. The Sierra
Blanca Lions Club who sponsors
them, Lonnie Montgomery with
his time and quick: thinking,
Dalton West with his truck,An-
dy Vlrdell with his truck, J antes
Peace with his water tank and
Joe Arthaud for permission to
camp on the ranch. Above all
the Moms helped most with
kindness and patience.

DOLPH BRISCOE
UVALDE -Hard work and
Dolph Briscoe go hand-in-
hand.
Work is the name of the
game so far as this prominent
Texas businessman-rancher
is concerned because he has
built his fame and reputation
on just that.
Briscoe, of Uvalde, who is
a candidate for the Texas
governorship, is famous in
Sie Lone Star state's farming
and ranching circles for tak-
ing on tough jobs for no pay
and coming up with the tough
jobs well done.
Briscoe, who would be the
first to deny that he is a mir-
acle man, has the happy fa-
culty for "coming up with a
miracle, " fellow Uvalde
citizens and friends are fond
of saying.
"He can make it do every-
thing but rain on command, "
says one, "and sometimes
I'd be willing to swear he
can do that, too, if he puts
his mind to it. "
Briscoe's formula is simple:
"Progress" in his mind is
the keynote and action is his
byword.
The gubernatorial candi-
date's qualifications and acc-
omplishments are almost too
numerous to mention.
He is a banker, businessman,
civic leader and a former
state legislator. He is marr-
ied to the former Janey Slau-
ghter of Austin, and has three
children, Janie, 17, Chip 15,
and Cele, 11.
The tall, distinguished-
looking Texan looks upon his
campaign to eradicate the
screwworm in Texas as one
of the landmarks of his career.
Several years ago, when
many people, including some
scientists felt the screwworm
pest would never be conquered
in the Lone Star State, Bris-
coe never lost heart of faith.
He worked hard for the succ-
ess of the program, and in
the process, he was instrumen-
tal in saving Texas stockmen
tens of millions of dollars.
Briscoe is at present comple-
ting his fourth term as presi-
dent of the Southwest Animal
Research Foundation, which
directs the screwworm eradi-
cation program, and has ser-
ved as president of the Mo-
hair Council of America.
This intense, hard-driving
gubernatorial candidate has
been a ranchman virtually
since the day he was born in
Uvalde, in 192 3.
His father, Dolph Briscoe,
Sr., was a prominent ranch-
man, businessman, wool and
mohair dealer and agriculture
leader before him.
It was from his father that
Briscoe developed his love for
the land and his fellow-feel-
ing for the men who work the
land.
He is a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Texas and was first
elected to the Texas House of
Representatives in 1948 where
he served eight years.
He was never opposed for
re-election.
During his tenure he auth-
ored the Farm-to-Market
Road Act of 1949. Today
more than 36, "'>00 miles of
paved rural roads are inclu-
ded in the Texas farm and
ranch road system. He also
sponsored the Rural Tele-
phone Enabling Bill.
Briscoe was one of the ma-
jor supporters of a bill to
increase teachers' pay and
helped launch an investiga-
tion of the Veterans' land
scandal which erupted in
heart trouble that doesn't seem
too serious. His condition was
diagnosed as a
and his blood pre assure and tem-
perature were below normal.

The Sierra Blanca Boy Scouts
went on a two day camping trip
last week-end. Those in attend-
ance were Terry Guerra, Billy
Addington, Andy Virdell, "Sugie"
West, James Lujan, Trinidad De
La Rosa, Greg Madek, Ben Can-
aba and scouts to be Delvin Dan-
iels and Jual Rodriguez. The
boys met after school Friday
and headed for the vicinity of
Bob Love Point on the river. Af-
ter a "little" excitement and a
few wrong turns > the caravan of
two pick-ups came upon a wash-
out in the road. They made camp
at that point and it was about
dark. No one was exactly sure of
just where they were. They set
up one tent for shelter but a
couple of boys dig holes near
the fire and slept in their ’graves"
They explored the area by moon-
light, ate supper and hit the sack
Saturday morning came early
for Scoutmaster, Richard Curtis
as he was awakened by the noise
of ten boys who dTscovered that
