Austin, Tex.—T«m' drouth re-
lief program is in high frtr again.
President Eisenhower announced
a double-barreled shot in the arm
for cattlemen’s feed buying proj-
ects.
Grain subsidies were increased
from tl to $1.50 per hundred-
weight and the aid period extend-
ed 60 days to Dec. 31.
An additional *5,000,000 was
allocated to the hay and rough-
age buying program. This had
been sailed for nearly a month
after the original $1,000,000 grant
ran out. Certificates good for a
$7.50 per ton subsidy jre again
available to eliifible'lrvestock own-
ers through the Farmers Home
Administration;
To increase effectiveness of this
project, officials said western
tail roads agreed to make a 50 per
cent reduction in freight rates on
carload'lots of hay sent to the
drouth areas. Reductions were to
k take effect this past week-end.
Both parties lost no time in
making political hay with the new
farm assistance. GOP National
' Committeeman Jack Porter saitj,
“This will help greatly to win
Texas for the Republicans."
Sate Agriculture Commr. John
White, a staunch Democrat, ex-
pressed gratitude, “regardless of
the politics! aspects.” B u t, he
In addition, Texas’ own top
Democratic brass, Sen. Lyndon
Johnson, Speaker Sam Rayburn
and Governor-Nominee Price Dan-
iel, will be in the field.
For the Republicans, Vice Pres-
ident Richard Nixon made a sec
ond visit and termed the Texas
race “neck and neck.” But, he con-
tended, Eisenhower repr e s e n t s
Texas Democrats’ views better
than Stevenson.
Each party h a d a “big event”
within days of each other. Repub-
licans saluted Texas-born Ike with
a statewide birthday party Sat-
urday. Democrats, hard-pressed
for operating funds, slated door-
bell ringing on “Dollars for Dem-
ocrats Day” Tuesday.
Polio Funds Unusod—T HU
stands to lose some $2,500,000 in
federal funds unless polio vacci-
nation is greatly stepped up in
the next eight months.
Sate Department of Health of-
ficials said Texas so far has spent
only $540,000 of the $3,064,121
allocated. If not used by June 30,
1857, funds wjll revert back to
the U. S. Public Health Service.
■At the present rate of inoculation,
say officials; a sizable portion will
be left over.
In urging more widespread vac-
cination, they cited statistics.

The powderhorn also tried Nil-
ghai antelope from India. These
big "blue bulls” as theyare some-
times called, grow to a weight of
600 pounds. “We released about
a dozen,” Dehman said, “and a
few youngsters were bom, but
the herd gradually died out.”
The Nilghai, however, has
done well on the King Ranch, he
said. About a dozen were releas-
ed some 15 years ago and Den-
man says he thinks there must be
more than 100 roaming the wilds
of the huge ranch today,h
Bal Lehmann, King

biologist, says they had elk there'
for a while. There were three, a
bull and two cows. The bull and
one of the cows were said to
have been killed by poachers
within a few months, but the
other cow livod sad was Hgft
regularly for about eight years. •
The big elk herd in Texas,
however, jji located In McKittrick
Csnyon in the Guadalupe Moun-
tains. The Hunter-Grisham Co.
imported 44 from the Rockies in
1928 and within 10 years, there
was a herd of more than 400 an-
imals.
Wildlife biologists have
thought for some time an at-
tempt should be made to reduce
the elk population and have urg-
ed that hunta be staged.

to steal the bait.
“I saw this red-winged black-
bird fly up and sit on the end
of one of the pbles,” - Durbin
said. "After a while that bird
reached down with his foot and
grabbed the line. Using his beak
and fept, he pulled the bait right
up.”
Durbin yelled and scared the
bird away..
“But he came back after a
while and started to reel ih an-
other line,’’ Durbin raid. “HI

habitat is on such mountainous
islands as Corscia, Sardinia and
Cyprus.
Mark Moss of the Bar O Ranch
at. Llano, introduced the mouf-
lon and also has stocked his
ranges with the Indian Black
Buck, the same breed Hindu
princes used to -hunt with chee-
tahs.
He tried the spotted axies deer
from India, as well as sikas and
asiatic tahr, deer-like residents
of the high Japanese Himalayas,
but these didn’t fare well. But
the mouflon took to the Texas
'hill country as though born to
it.
The aoudad, or Barbary sheep,
a huge half-goat, half-sheep, a
native of the Atlas mountains of
North Africa, was planted in
Palo Duro Canyon by the Game
and Fish Commission. A- curious
looking animal, scientists argued
for years over whether the goat
or sheep family should include
them.
Fawn colored and high shoul-
dered, their scimitar- shaped
horns are totally unlike those of
any American wild sheep. Throw
in a long set of whiskers from
their jaws to their briskits and
the effect adds up to something
most Amercan siportsmen have
never seen.
Black buck, Japanese sikas, In-
dian sambar, and axies deer have
been tried on Bear Creek ranch
along with the African eland,
largest of all antelopes which
sometimes reach a weight of
1,200 to 1,500 pounds.

horn Ranch at Port O’Conner al-
