after he is killed, the flesh is likely to
become tainted.
From Brownsville as the hub from
which the sportsman would radiate. it
rs only approximately % miles by rail
road and less than 80 by good automo-
bile road to the coast town of Point
Isabel, the fisherman's haven. There
one can secure accommodations at a
newly remodeled and ~.re-managed .Iotel,
where the comforts suitable TO any
case can be secured and the service and
food supplied in the dining room will
be favorably commented on by all.
At Point Isabel the accommodations
for the fisherman as regards boatmen,
boats, bait, etc, can be secured and a
great varieties, if not the best fishing
on the entire Texas coast will be found.
The season for the CUR is regulated
by the state and federal game laws, but
the entire year is open to the man with
the rod at the coast and there is some
type Of sport fishing for each month.
The tarpon, the king of them all is
a migratory fish and leaves these
waters for the warmer countries along
in September, not returning until
April. Though the ta:pon grows to be
more than seven feet long he is by no
means the largest fish to be found here
abouts, as to weight. The June fish
grows to weigh 500 pounds or more and
a great many people prefer landing one
of these to a tarpon. 1t is a different
type of sport and as a rule is not con-
siderei as fascinating to the expert
enced angler. Another large fish that
affords a great deal Of sport to many
people is the shark, which abounds in
great numbers at the mouth of the Rio
Grande. Fishing for shark is q matter
of strength of tackle and muscle. 1t is
no unusual thing for an alligator gar to
be hooked either at the mouth of the
river or just inside Of BraZos Pass, six
or seven feet long and weighing up to
two hundred pounds.

interest which they offer WE presume

kn6wn. The large ones that are com-
monty taken, weigh 40 pounds, and
whether hooked in the Laguna Madre
or in the surf of the Gulf Of Mexico,
they are a sport fish that affords a
great deal of entertainment. The pack
fish and trout are both good game fish.
And during certain seasons of the year
when the run is on the so-called sane
trout, known in the north as weak fish,
entertains the lay public and the fairer
sex with big catches. 1t is lively sport
watching these beautiful light silvery
fish and as a rule they bite about as
fast as the line can be baited. A string
Of 80 or 100 makes a beautiful sight.
We do not want to overlook the gig
ging of the founder. Many lanterns
can be seen in the shadows of the La
guna Maire shore along into the wee
hours of the morning and those who are
game for that method. enjoy the spear
ing Of these fish in the bottom of the
shallow water. 1t is considered by
many, one of the best fish flesh we
have in these waters.

watet fishing, and we do not want to
omit a reference to the various types of
fish Astounding in the resacas and irri-
cation systems inland. The black bass
never has abounded in this section nat
urally but has been introduced and
many good bass holes can be. found where
bait casting will produce a good bag of
these game fish. The so-called perch
there being a number of varieties he~e.
and belonging to the sunfish family,
are abundant under proper conditions,
and as well the gaspergou, attaining a
weight sometimes Of 20 pounds.
To the novice there is enough in this
section of the country without the eX-
p~erience of the true angler or hunter,
whereas to those who have graduated
and are on the alert for the higher class
of rod and gun work, as We rave already
stated, there is no place like the Rio
Grande Valley.

BENITO FARM
PAYS OFF OLD DEBT

M. p. Sherer was $4,000 in debt when
he came to the Valley from Alabama
and settled near San Benito four years
ago. Since that time he has paid for his
farm and is worth several times that
amount.
His record crop was a tomato patch
which made him $1,000 per acre, he says.
In 1928 twelve acres yielded more
than $4,000 worth of tomatoes and later
he grew three quarters of a bale per
acre Of Gotten on the same land. This
sold for $500, q total income of $4,000
from the 12 acres. -
