silvery moss about one another and
over the pink festoons, late in the eve

All dogs in Kingsville must lie vac-
cinated for rabies on June 1, is the
dictum of Chief of Police J. S. Scar-
borough, Jr.
It lias been the custom of the city
fathers during the past few years to
require this vaccination rather than
issue a dog license the cost of which
went into the city treasury without
giving the public the protection
against the danger of rabid dogs
which Is afforded under the present
system.
The dog owner pays the cost of
having his pet innoCulated by a vet-
erinary surgeon and the city issues a
certificate to that effect and a dis-
tinctive tag to be attached to the
dog s collar.
After vaccination day, Chief Scar-
borough warns the owners of dogs,
all untagged curs will he executed.
This program has found favor with
the general public in that it has not
only protected the community from
the dangers of rabies but has rid the
town of the scores of ownerless and
worthless curs that used to roam the
streets.
It is hoped that everyone having a
dog they think worth protecting will
comply promptly with the order of
the police department, Scarborough
says, adding that the duty of killing
those not innoculated is most unpleas-
ant but one which he must perform
without an exception being made.

MoPac Poultry
Specialist Returns
For Inspection
F. W. Wesco, poultry development
agent for the Missouri Pacific Lines,
spent May 21, 22, 23 and 24 in Kle-
berg County working with the county
agent in the betterment of his demon,
strutiou flocks and assisting him in
establishing u general dipping and
culling program for the Kingsville sec-
tion.
About 150 poultryment attended the
seven demonstrations in dipping and
culling given on the various farms of
this county, 4500 hens being culled
and then dipped for lice control while
the specialist was instructing in the
proper methods to be used in these
operations.
Wesco was the principal speaker at
the regular meeting of the poultry
association, where he gave detailed
instructions on the fattening and con-
ditioning for market of the thousands
of young cockerels that must be
placed on the market each year.
The specialist lias visited Kleberg
county before, Mr. Baldwin president
of tiie M. !\ having sent him here af-
ter his visit this spring when Mr.
Baldwin visualized the possibilities of
the poultry business here. Wesco
states that he notes u decided im-
provement. in the conditions of the
flocks and an increase in the number
of liens in the trade territory of Kings-
ville. He estimates 60,000 as the num-
ber of hens in tiie trade territory and
says that that number must be in-
creased to 150,000 before car lot ship-
ments of eggs can be made. This in-
crease he believes should he made as
soon as possible as the car lot ship-
ment plan means several cents per
dozen additional in price to the farm-
er. Commenting upon tiie quality of
eggs being handled through the local
creamery, Wesco said that 80 per cent
of them would grade class A.
Piano Recital
V'
/
The recital given in the College
Auditorium on Wednesday evening.
May 22 by pupils from the class of
Lillian Wheat Kennedy assisted by
four pupils from the folk dancing
classes of Miss Woodson was consid-
ered quite a success by the apprecia-
tive audience.
The majority of the piano pupils
were under twelve years of age, they
appeared on the stage with such poise
and confidence as to depict the abil-
ity and careful attention to detail of
the teacher, the correctness of notes,
time, phrasing, and technic of these
young pupils was marked, and there
was talent shown in the finished play-
ing of the older pupils.
The solo dance and encore done by
little Miss Lynch was very artistic.
The Russian dance given by Misses
Audrey Barber, Pauline Hargrove,
Alice Langlols and Siddie Grace Blud-
worth in Russian costume was most
perfectly interpreted and very beau-
tiful, showing the character of work
being done by Miss Woodson’s class-
es. The audience felt that Mrs. Ken-
nedy should be gratified with the suc-
cess of her year’s work.
Although relatively a new crop.
Texas now ranks third in citrus fruit
production in quantity and first in
quality.
Texas ranks second in the value of
exports with raw cotton first in value
of its exports.
