Of $50 had been cleared for the

Transforming burros into pork is
the latest and n Of the most
profitable industries in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley. But as q result
of the industry, Jackass Prairie in
eastern Cameron county, will lose
the herds of wild burros from which
il gained its e~uphonious name.
The wild burro herds are being
depleted at the rate Of approximate
ly 20 burros per week, and from the
Naranja ranch shipments Of fat
porkers will start in a few weeks TO
the northern markets. The porkers
have considerable value; burros are
considered a liability instead Of an
asset.
Each day an expert rifleman
mounts his trusty steed and HES out
across the sacahuiste flats and salt
grass marshes where the burros have
roamed for centuries. Two or three
burros are shot, thei location mark
ed. and the SINNERS are called upon
to perform their task. The meat is
carried to the Naranja ranch, where
it is cooked in huge watts, and ground
into the grain and other feeds upon
which the porkers are being fatten-
cd. The hides are marketed in
Brownsville.
Another market has developed for
the burros since the advent Of the
racing dogs which will do their stuff
on the Matamoros tracks. The dogs
are supplied with burro meat. Train
ers state that while it probably will
not increase their speed it should
make them tiugh and hardy. Wheth-
er it will develop a latent character
istic Of stubbornness has not been
determined.
At the Naranja ranch, where the
Garcia Land and Livestock company
is fattening hogs on burro meat. the
wagonloads Of meat are being
brought in from the salt grass re-
gion daily. Those in charge assert
that every time the porkers hear n
burro bray they will begin to squeal
in anticipation Of the feed to come.
The proposition of getting rid Of
the herds of wild burros, which now
number over 1000 head, has been a
problem for the for seve. III
years. There was a time, n half
century ago, when the burrO was
considered indispensable along the
lower border, but his period OF use
fulness ceased several years ago.
Wild burrors have roamed the salt
flats for centuries. their p%rogenitors
having escaped from the herds OF
the Spanish conquistadores. In the
old days when a burro was needed
i was customary 10 mount . horse,
rope the burro, and drive or drag
him to the corral where he was
taught the tricks of his trade, ac-
curing proper domesticity in q few
days.
Several years ago an effort was
made TO popularize burros In the
north as mounts for children, and a
few carloads were shipped out. but
their popularity did not last. the

FARM RELIEF
ACTS PUZZLE
Congress Undec d
Whether to Begin
Now or Not

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-tP-Rs-
publican leaders in congress remain
divided on the question Of whether
to attempt farm relief legislation at
this session or leave the problem to
an extra session promised by Her
bert Hoover If it is necessary.
There are signs that some of the
Hoover members Of the party prefer
fer to leave the farm relief problem
to his administration entirely feel
ing that this was a vital part Of his
campaign and that he will be held
completely responsible with its dis
position
Also, there are rumors from some
Of the farm leaders outside Of con-
gress who supported the McNary-
Haugen bills vetoed by President
Coolidge that they would prefer to
have the legislation go over TO the
newly elected president. Their con-
cern is reported to center about the
appointments the president would
make TO the proposed federal farm
board.
Other republicans interested in
disposing of a farm marketing bill
and avoiding an extra session for
farm relief until the fall when they
feel the tariff revision can be un-
dertaken, are hoping TO draw from
Mr.. Coolidge some indication of the
view he will take toward inaugural
ing the farm relief administration,
il il is authorized late in his term.
Senator Borah Of Idaho, one Of
Mr.. Hoover's hardest campaign work
ers. is insisting on the extra session
promised by the president-elect for
the consideration Of farm relief and
tariff revision. He says tariff re-
vision is a vital part Of a~gricultu-
raj improvement and should be con-
sidered with any farm marketing
legislation.

THESE SIMPLE RULES
MAKE TEETHING EASY

Be careful OF Baby's diet during
teething. Do not cverfeed him. Watch
his stomach and bowels and at the
first sign of indigestion, gas or con-
stipation, give him a few drops of
harmless, pleasant-tasting Fletcher's
Castoris. These simple rules are max
ing teething easy on millions of
babies-and mothers, too. For over
thirty years Castoria has been the
trusted standby Of mothers every
where. II soothes wakeful, cross
babies TO sleep quickly and easily
and it's purely-vegetable so you can
give it as often as needed. 1t does the
work of castor oil better and more
gently. For your protection, the bot
tie Of genuine Castoria always bears
the Fletcher signature.

IL 10 estimated that within an

wild burros will have disappeared.
For several years there has been no
appreciable increase in their num-
bers, due it Is said to placing cat

"varmints" take their toll OF the

occasionally forced to swim the Rio
