Band for Solution
OF Problems

The Texas Farm Bureau Fedora
ton is carrying on an intensive
membership campaign IN Can ron
County this week. Several leaders
OF the state organization have been
In the county for over a lex con-
ferring with farm leaders. As a re-
suit. a meeting was held in San
Benito Monday which was attended
by one or more farmers from near
lv all the communities in the
county.
AT this meeting 1t was decided
that Cameron County farmers
needed a strong county organiza-
ton to aid them in solving many
problems that the individual
farmer has not been able to cope
with. These problems are Of sew
eral kinds and can most readily
be handled by group action in fact.
some Of them in no other way, 1t
was decided.
1t has been found that fertiliz-
ing citrus trees with the right
amount Of a certain kind has IN
creased the size Of the fruit. An
extensive experimenting, 70 be
carried on In cooperation with the
county agent, will fix tie amount
and kind Of fertilizer TO be used
to produce the highest percentage
Of large uniform fruit and so great
Nv increase the value of the crop.
The organization will be in a posi-
ton to secure the manufacture Of
the right mixture and to provide
the members with it at a reasonable
cost.

Albuquerque, N. M., Rt-f'rank J, Mullen, an eastern tcnderloot, is somewhere out on the endless plains of tho southwest today with q pack burro and a police dog as his only companions.
 He set out from here yesterday much in the same manner as the picturesque old sourdough of an other day, clad in boots. blue jeans and a lumbcriacks shirt. He was carrying q bcdrolI, cooking utensils. provisions a rifle, q plckaAe and shovel in the burro pack,
 "Thcy told me the old west has disappeared" said Mullens as he started on d prospective 2,500 milo trek across New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. "T'm going to sec if cant find it and I'm going out just as the old sourdoughs did. I'm go- ing 10 knock along, picking at rocks, shooting ton cans, laying over when want 0 cook my own grub sleep out in the open and forget about shavinG."
 Unlike the picturesque prospectors of the old west, Mullen is seeking neither. fame nor the fortune in gold that lies in the hills Of the western country. The light haired lanky young man is seeking 10 re- gain the health he lost through strain of ovorwork as steel sales man in Detroit.

When the Collips boy discovered the body of Amos Pettingill crum- pied up near a rail fence in his un- per pasture, his shot gun along side, and a wound in his side, they ran to the village.

 "Tut-tut - it doesn't seem pos- sible," the doctor agreed.
 Neishbors came up to get the body down the steep pasture 10 the Pettingin home where Amos had lived with only a housckeepcr and hired man for many years.
 The neighoors would not have believed it, either if they hadn't seen it.
