liver County
Farmers over the county have been
busy the past two weeks harvesting
this year’s grain crop. The yield is
good in most cases but not as heavy
as last year’s crop. It is estimated
that most of the crop is running a-
round twelve to fifteen hundred
pounds to the acre.
The market .price on grain ship-
ments has been holding up and the
price received has been averaging a-
nund $2.50 per cwt. However, we
heard of two cars selling Wednesday
for $2.73 per cwt.
Rail shipments are beginning to
move with 1 carloads being shipped
this week and an estimated total ol
about 25 cars to be shipped. Many
shipments have already been made
b.v truck.
Most of the grain this week was
shipped from the Artesia Wells sec-
tion and the Los Angeles section now
harvesting.
Pea Shipping Over
Rluckeye pea shipments have about,
ceased from this area. The acreage
in the county was large this year and
a fair yield was made. Green black-
eyes brought little money to the far-
mers but dried peas brought $10 to
$12 per cwt. Some farmers sold
their crops in the field for $7 per
hundred.
Texas Schools;
loll’d $6 More
Per Scholar
pprmr
Austin, July 14—A supplemental
pei capita payment of approximately
$6 was voted for Texas schools for
the state board of education Monday
bringing the 1946-47 total payment
to $41.
The supplement was based on an
estimate by State Comptroller Geo.
H. Sheppard that there would be a
surplus of $9,441,535 in the availa-
ble school fund as of September 1.
The board adopted a resolution dis-
tributing on a per capita basis the
entire amount of whatever does accrue
in the fund before that time. Phillip
M. Stevenson, hoard member who
sponsored the resolution, said he un-
derstood the increase would amount
to $6.11 per scholastic. Texas has j
approximately 1,500,000 scholastics. |
The board also approved a $4,000-
000 expenditure for textbooks for 1
the 1947-18 Tool year; approved the
$55 per capit payment in 1947-48 as
set up by the 50th Legislature; and
appointed a nine-member textbook
advisory commission.

Four Antelope Hunts
Scheduled For Oct.
Four controlled antelope hunts
have been scheduled for October by
the Game, Fish and Oyster Com-
mission. The first hunt is slated
for Brewster. Jeff Davis, Pecos and
Reeves Counties on October 2, 3.
.and 4th. The second hunt is sei
for October 6, 7, and 8 in Presidio
County, south of the Southern Pacif-
ic Railroad tracks. Jeff Davis
County gets the third hunt on Oct.
9. 10 and 12. The final hunt will
he in Hudspeth and Culberson Coun-
ties on October 13, 14 and 15.
Present plans call for the issuance
of 600 antelope hunting permits.
This number may be increased or
decreased after a count of the ante-
lope is made in August.
Application forms for antelope
hunting permits may be obtained from
the Austin office of the Game, Fish
and Oyster Commission. The hunt-
ing permits will cost $5.00. If more
than 600 applications for antelope
hunting permits are received, the
lucky 600 hunters will be determined
through a drawing.
Under the rules promulgated by
the Game Commission at its meeting
last week. 1946 hunt alterations wul
those who withdrew from the hunt
after obtaiuing a hunting permit will
be given priority this year. Next
in line for tlie special permits will be
those who did not participate in the
1946 hunt. And if there are any
permits left they will be rationed oui
to those who did participate in last
year’s hunt but who want to hunt
antelope again this year.
Owners of the land on which the
antelope are to be bunted are auth-
orized to charge each hunter not more
than $40.00 for the privilege of hunt-
ing on his premises.
Rules of the hunt are the same
as they were in 1946. Antelope may
be stalked, but not chased by an
automobile, nor can a hunter take
a shot at a pronghorn from an au-
tomobile, or shoot blindly into a herd
of antelope. Only antelope bucks may
be shot and one buck is the hag
limit.
At a meeting of the local post of
the American Legion Monday night
plans were discussed for the erection
