"The boy who has never lain barefooted and with his face to the sky on a load of freshly-cut corn or cane has been denied a glorious adventure Dream ships of youth flaunt white sails easily on the blue inverted sea and the song that swells in the young heart will continue to vibrate against the metallic walls of So writes Douglas Meador, Mata dor editor, in his book, "Trail in which home-spun philosophy alternates with fine-spun beauty. And this: "Prairie grass, ambassador of time, spreads a soft carpet over the sharp edges of old cow trails which have ceased to echo with the clatter of passing hoofs. It heals the winding "slash of roads made by grinding wagon wheels that have long since rolled into the silence of the past. Patiently it waits outside the barbed wire fences for the decap of plow, as if a thousand years would pass with sunset.

THURSDAY, MAY 30. 1940 natural till he sprinkled gravel in them. The reverse of that one is the story about the little boy the city who discovered a pile" of condensed milk cans and ran to tell his mother, "I've found a cow's nest." Mr. Anonymous, -who has written so many fine things, is the author of this: "All this talk about an editor" not being appreciated is nonsense. We read an account where an; editor in a nearby county was presented a handsome bouquet by a number of fellow citizens.

On the same occasion, a quartet from a local church sang a few songs and the minister made a brief talk. After the minister's talk, six husky citizens carried the popular editor from the house and placed him in a model 1940 plumed and the whole town stood at attention. Later the appreciative crowd returned to their homes, serene in the thought of having provided one bright day in the life of their local news if they had to wait until he was dead to do so."

The latest lake to be stocked is Possu'n Kingdom. Bass numbering 71.000 were planted, in it recently, it was announced by the executive secretar; of the Dept.

That was the first many shipments which will be place( in the lake. All the new lakes being stockei by the Game Dept. are being studiet by aquatic biologists to determine the amount of fish food the various bodies of water will produce. Too they are determining the species fish most suitable for each lake. The state hatcheries producec more than 5,000,000 fish' last year but by using improved fertilization, some of them developet by Texas Game Dept.

aquatic biologists, and by making use of othei recently discovered methods of propagating fish, it is hoped to double the hatcheries' production this season. To date it appears the hatcheries will reach the 10,000,000 mark set for them, despite the fact late freezes killed more than 1,0001,000 small fish in the hatcheries. Caught Three Fish at Once L. D. Flowers of Uvalde was plenty satisfied recently when he caughl a 16-inch bass, but he wasn't amazed until he cut into the fish anc found a four-inch bass in its stomach, according to a report to the Game Dept.

Investigating further Mr. Flowers opened the smaller bas and discaovered a two-inch perch. Both the four and two-inch fish were whole. Maybe catching two bass and one perch on a single hook is a record.

The most recent reported to the Game Dept. was a turtle which was lassoed and finally hauled in by four men. The turtle had" been by a tanker a few minutes earlier in the Sabine channel.

The sturgeon was 24 inches long and weighed one and a half pounds.
