The Valley fishing worm has
found another champion in Harr
L Sexton who recently returned
here from ins duties as clera to
the minority leader m the house
at Washington.
“Sure, there are lots of fish
ing worms in my yard" he said.
The great worms controversy was
: then explained to him ana he ex
pressed surprise at the declara
tion of the Valley Worms, lac., to
the effect' that there were no
worm* in the Valiev
When he was told of the com
I pony's East Texas expedition to
: bring worms to the Valiev, he was
prompt in rallying to the Valley s
support "No doubt the stock here
could be improved through con
structive breeding he said, bu*
stated that it was his belief tha*
; the newcomers should be in-bred
wu.h native stock “This would
produce a hardy worm, embodying
the best characteristics of the
Last Texas and Valley worm.'* he
said
“lu m; back yard I have some
of the fines: worm sires to be
found south of San Antonio. In
the interests of constructive
breeding I will loan these to the
San Benitam but they must
promise not to touch them with
a fish hook " Sexton said.
The San Beni tans were a little
broad m their statement that the
"Valley” has no real he-mar. fish
ing worms. Doc" Jones, local
angler maintains They should
have said "San Benito" has no
worms, he declares
Henry and James Skelton are
the latest to rally to the support
of the Valley worm They promise
to produce fusing worms on short
notice from their backyards
Doc" Jones is planning a trip
to East Texas m the near future
and will bring back a few choice
worms he says
He proposes that the two fac
tions rate- near O.rr.ito and settle
