NOTICE

TO All Whom This May Concern:
Notice is hereby given that or
Friday, May 18th. 1880, at ten o.
clock a. m, in the county court
room in the courthouse in Browns
vile. Texas, a hearing will be had
upon report made under the direc-
ton Of Honorable George B. Ter
rell, commissioner Of agriculture Of
the state OF Texas, in accordance
with Chapter Is. laws Of the 4lst
Legislature OF tire state Of Texas,
second called session, said report
being in words and figures as fol-
lows:
TURE. STATE OF TEXAS
AUSTIN
April 10. 1880.
Hon. Commissioners Court,
Cameron County, Texas.
Gentlemen:
I am directed by the commission
er OF agriculture to report 70 you
whether the Mexican fruit fly.
A~nastrepha ludens, exists in your
locality and, If so. what method or
means may be employed TO effect
its control or eradication. as pro-
vided in Section 8 Of Chapter 10,
Second Called Session OF the Forty
first Legislature.
I have to report that this insect
has been found TO exist at several
places IN the citrus belt OF the
Lower Rio Grande Valley. OF which
your county constitutes an import
ant part. This pes. has been known
to exist in some parts Of the Re-
public OF Mexico for a number OF
years. whence 1t was undoubtedly
introduced into your section. Re-
ports from that country indicate
that II is a very serious fruit pess.
The adult fruit fly deposits its eggs
underneath the peel OF the fruit.
The young, or worm stage OF the
insect. lives on the inside OF the
fruit. rendering IL unfit for human
consumption. IN this manner. the
pest may render an otherwise valu-
able citrus grove Improbable. The
Mexican fruit fly Is known TO In
fest all citrus fruit except lemons
and sour lines. II is also known 20
infest the guave. ounce. peach
apple, pear. Nance CMammen
americana), sapote (Achras Sa-
pota), Sapota Nucuma species)
and circuelas species CSponidas
species). These will hereinafter be
referred to as The host fruits"
The proper method Of control
or eradication will be to create each
year, from about March lst TO
October 3lst, a non host fruit
period. during which time the pest
shall be subjected to starvation.
Your host fruits that ripen during
the fall and winter should be re-
moved from the trees by about
March 1st OF each year and sold
or stored under proper conditions.
Other host fruits which serve dur
ing the spring and summer to
perpetuate the pest should be
destroyed. Also the various orchards
should be cleaned of fallen fruit by
the beginning Of the host : free
period, and also the off-bloom cit
rus should be removed from the

trees while green. Groves should be
kept clean Of drop fruit and ex-
cessive weeds and grasses during
the shipping season. Packing plants,
canning plants, stores or other
premises should be kept clean Of
fruit debris.
Since the Secretary OF AgrIcul-
ture OF the United States has de-
cided to prevent fruits infested
with the Mexican fruit fly from
entering the channels OF interstate
commerce, your fruits cannot be
profitably disposed of unless ef-
fective eradication measures are
permanently enforced. Your local
ity being on the border, the pest
is liable to be reintroduced at any
future time. Hence. your plan OF
eradication should be made per-
manent. Therefore, the simplest,
most practical. and most efficient
procedure is to take out entirely
the host trees that ripen their fruits
during the host-free period.
The uncared-for host fruit trees
or grove OF even grapefruit or or
ange becomes q menace. not only
as a place where the Mexican fruit
fly may breed but where other
serious pests may be propagated.
Hence. We would recommend the
destruction of any host fruit trees
which are neglected by the owner
thereof TO the extent that they
are, or may become. a breeding
place for the Mexican fruit fly.
The introduction and planting OF
host fruit trees other than citrus
or the planting Of the seed Of such
trees should be prohibited.
1t Is possible that infestation OF
the Mexican fruit fly may be found
occasionally in your commercially
valuable host fruits. which. II not
promptly checked. might become
general during the ripening sea-
son. Hence. we would recommend
that you appoint an advisory COM
mittee to outline and abate such
incipient infestations. When such
infestation Is discovered, the move
ment Of host fruit from the infest-
ed premises should be stopped until
such time as your committee can
determine the nature and extent
OF the contaminated area and clean
it out by processing or destroying
the fruit.
All host fruits stored or exposed
for sale should be screened SO as
to avert the possible propagation of
the fruit fly.
In order to carry out the pur-
pose OF this program. a systematic
inspection Of groves should be au-
thorized.

mankind. If it were not for pain
many diseases would progress so
far that their relief would be i'm
possible. So, while it is disagree
able to have pain, we must be
thankful for its existence.
If pain in the abdomen is more
than ordinarily severe, or if it lasts
longer than a brief period, it indi-
Gates serious trouble. 1t is not a
condition to be treated by home re-
medies.
Most of the acute abdominal pains
are first felt in the "pit of the
stomach" This is due to the ar
rangements of the nerves of the alb
dominal cavity, which has,, among
others, a switchboard at that level.
Incoming calls from the entire cav
ity are received there. Trouble on
the line anywhere registers prompt
ly.
One of the first diseases we think
of which may cause acute pain in
the abdomen is acute appendicitis,
because it is the most common. No
age is immune to it. The infant may
have it. So may his grandparents.
The first symptom is always pain.
Usually it is bad enough to compel
one to go to bed. Nausea and vOmit-
ing, as a rule, follow either at once
or within a few hours. If gangreme
happens during an acute attack, the
pain stops at once. So that the ces-
sation of pain may be a signal, too.
Another kind moves from the pit
of the stomach around on the right
side across the ribs and up to the
right shoulder and is followed by
nausea and vomiting. 1t is intense,
and gripping in nature, but is not
apt to last long. It is due to disease
of the gall-bladder, is often called
"gall collie" or "gall-stone collie.
Once the gall-bladder is diseased

it is almost a certainty that other
attacks will follow the first one.
One of the most severe pains
which may occur in the abdomen is
that due to a rupture, or a perforat-
ion, or an ulcer of the stomach.
This is not as common as appendi-
citis or gall-bladder disease. The
beginning is extremely sudden, is
first felt in the pit of the stomach,
is agonizing, and is accompanied by
collapse. The severeity of the pain
is due to the escape of the acid con-
tents of the stomach out into the abb
dominal cavity. In a few hours the
pain is all over the abdomen and
the muscles become as hard as a
board. This hardness is called
"board-like rigidity".
A natural query is what layman
should do when confronted with any
one of these conditions. The best
advice for the emergency is to send

at once for his physician. While
awaiting his arrival: 1. Lie down.
2. Apply a hot water bottle or an
ice-bag whichever is more COM
fortable) to the abdomen. 8. Take
nothing by mouth, absolutely moth
ing, and above all, not cathartiic.
This cannot be emphasized too
strongly. The unwise use of cathar-
tics in the presence Of acute abdo-
minal pain costs many lives.
But the best advice of all is to
forestall most of these pains by let

The. following letter from Free
man Bennett was received this
week:
Milford chronicle., 1930-01-31

The Annie L. Russell was built in
1873 and she was commanded by
Captain Hendrixson continuously
for 23 years, and he was her sole
owner for many of the later years.
Some others who ran packets from
Milford were Captains Charles
Johnson, Joseph Hubbard, David
Still, James Deputy, Caleb R. Smith,
James Sipple, Joseph Dickerson,
James H. Millman, Alfred Stevens,
AL Scott, Edward Williamson, Elijah
Williamson, VIM. Murphy, Daniel
Walls and Henry Laws.
Captain Laws took the schooner
H. w. Laws to Virginia about 1882.
His son, Harry, lived in Milford for
several years and now resides in
California.
Captain HendriXson is authority
for the statement( which will doubt
less surprise many readers) that as
many as 20 vessels were tied up at
the Milford wharves during the win
ter season and that schooners once
sailed out of the Mispillion to Prov
idence, r. l., and to points between
that port and the ports of the Caro-
linas.
There was tragedy which will be
remembered by many that saddened
and shocked our community, for
true it is that "men who go down to
the sea in ships" often meet with
disaster. A three-mast schooner
The David Milligan-sailed from
Philadelphia one day, met severe
storms at sea and ne'er was heard
of more. Her captain was Curtis
Robinson; mate, Mark Fountain,
and Edward Wilson as cook. Several
there are who mourn the loss of
these brave men to this day, though
this loss happened in the early SOS.
In closing, we are glad to record
that there are many industries con-
tributing to Milford's prosperity that
were unknown in the days of which
we have here undertaken to write,
one of more of which have gained
nationwide notice (if not world
wide); yet the decline in the busi-
ness of wooden shipbuilding is re-
membered with regret by all old
timers.
