two-year drouth in
West texas broken.
San Angclo, Texas, May 3. A
slow general rain Which promis-
es to break the unprecedented
drouth in West Texas fell in this
section Friday. More than 15
counties which have received
practically no rain for the past
two or more years are being
benefited. Rain was reported as
far south as Fredericksberg
Junction, Sonora and Del Rio,
from' 'Alpine: to Harojiri on" $h'c
Kansas City, Mexico and Orient
.and from Sterling City to
Brownwood. More than a half
an inch had fallon at 10 o'clock
with indications 'of. a much
.heavier precipitation.
a-Ea zacharias just the same at
A light sectional rain fell here
' during t heearlier part of this
week, but Friday's rain, accord-
ing to reports here, is general
'"over the section nam'ed and un-
rdoubtadiy will put new life in
'the grass of the cattle ranges.
This section has been suffer-
ing from the worst dry spell
that has fallen on the- cattle
ranges of Texas in years.
Many cattle have died from
Want of grass, while thousands
'of. head have been shipped to
' grazing sections in other parts
of the country. On one ranch
'in Concho county where there
were 2000 head of cattle two
years ago, only 85 remain. In
tnany places 75 per cent of the
cattle had been shipped to other
ranges. Cattlemen have spent
millions of dollars . in feeding
cattle during the past months,
not only because of the scarcity
of feedstuff's, but because of the
long hauls.
Cattlemen say that if the ram
now falling continues a while
the situation will be relieved to
a great extent. Not more, than
10 days would be required to see
green grass on the ranges and
feeding of cattle would be stop-
within two weeks.
SURGEONS agree that in cases of
Cuts, Burns, Bruises and Wounds, the I
FIRST TREATMENT is most im-j
portant. When an EFFICIENT!
antiseptic is applied promptly, there i
is no danger of infection and the !
wound begins to heal at once. For '
use on man or beast, BOROZONE is I

TO THE! FARMERS
OF BELL COUNTY.
Let mo insist that we make
use of our stubble land as soon
as the present grain crop is
harvasted to raise more food
and feed. We can plant Maize,
Cane, Feterits, Any good drouth
resisting Field Pea, Tepary and
Pinto Beans; and where you
have suitable land, you can grow
the Spanish Peanut. This is a
comparatively new crop for Bell
I County but a very important
one, both from a feed and Com-
mercial viewpoint. 1 am especi-
ally anxious that the farmers
try this crop on a snall scale
until you have convinced your-
self that it is a paying propositi-
on. If you would like to try
this crop and are undecited as
to what nature land to try it on,
I would be very glad to visit
your farmj and confer with you.
The Pinto and Tepary Beans
are a very valuable summer
crop for table use and stock
feed; a good drouth resisters
and heavy producers. You can
get the Maize, Feterita, and
Cane seeds from your local deal-
ers, or the Temple Chamber of
Commerce at cost price. If
you are interested in any of the
other crops, I will be glad to lo-
cate the seed for you and give
you all the available information
as to planting and culture.
