INSECT SCOUTING
SCHOOL JUNE 28
Sonny Berry, Hudspeth Count
Extension A gent-Agriculture
has announced that the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service
will be conducting an Insect
Scouting School on June 28,
1991, beginning at 9:00 p. m.
at the Dell City High School
Vo-Ag. Classroom.
According to Berry, "Dr.
Charles Allen, District 6 Ento-
mologist with the Texas Agri-
cultural Extension Service, wil
be the instructor for the Scout
School. The school is open to
all individuals interested in
learning correct procedures,
methods, identification and
economic thresh-holds concen
ing scouting for detrimental
insects in field crops. "
The school will begin at 9:00
a. m. with a slide presentation
and discussion of scouting resp
nsibilities. The class will thei
travel to various cotton, vege-
table and alfalfa fields to obta
hands-on training and should
conclude by 4:00 p. m.
"Over the past four year, Ext
ension result demonstration
work in the Dell Valley has
proven that scouting crops for
insects is preferable, both
economically and ecologically
to scheduled spraying. I hope
anyone interested in learning
more about how insects are
affecting crops will take the
opportunity to attend this
Scout School", Berry said.

Ryan Ziler, who, if I remember

I don’t know whether Alma

two beautiful ladies, have been
reading the Tribune, or not,
but they "cornered " me in the
Camp Fire Cafe (Friday 21)
and they said: "We’ve been to

According to Frank Dobie,
David Crockett had a pet bear
that would sit on one side of
the fireplace and smoke a
pipe while David sat on the
other side. The bear was so
much like a man that he took

Congratulations and Good
Luck to Janie Cedillo, who has
opened a Variety Store on Dell
City’s west side. Janie and
husband Robert, are old friends.
Several years ago Janie and
her sister, Mary, took me
through the Penitentiary in
Juarez.
Most of the information in this article was given me by Fem
Lewis Prather, who, with her husband, Ed Prather, were and are
our friends of many years.
Fern: "Glen, my only brother, was bom in 16 Springs Canyon,
about 16 miles from Cloudcroft (Nov. 3, 1924, as I remember).
One of my aunts, on my mother’s side, was the mid-wife at Glen’s
birth. We started home in a covered wagon and got caught in a
snowstorm and stopped at the ranch home of my Aunt Olief Lewis,
who had married Buckskin Jernigan. When Buckskin remarked that
he might have been well-off if he hadn’t had so many "drop-ins",
we left pretty soon. I was six years old and Aunt Olief had some
frozen apples and I remember we roasted them over the fire in the
fireplace.
"Our mother was Virginia Wooten Lewis, whose father was Ben
Wooten of Cloudcroft, a Deputy Sheriff. He and the Sheriff, H. N.
Denny, in 1907, captured Bill Mitchell, alias John Davis, alias
Baldy Russell, one of the most noted outlaws of the West who was
a fugitive from justice for 47 years. Our mother also taught school
and at one time she was postmistress at Cienega, here on Crow Flat.
"On the Lewis side, we (myself-Fern) Glen, Zelma (Stephens of
El Paso) and Norma (Stringer of Dell City) were all children of
Dempson Lewis, son of David Lewis. The seven sons of David
Lewis: Sam, Martin, David Crockett, B, John A., Dempson and
Denman, and two of their sisters came from Bandera County, Texas
and settled at Weed, New Mexico, and Crow Flat, around the turn
of the century. The Lewis brothers all played the fiddle. They
were cowmen and liked to race horses. Dempson and Denmon were
rotordPngssssional fiddlers. Many of their songs were early day
Fern: ’Glen was not a Lewis, per se. He once told our mother
that he would never own a fiddle or a race horse or drink beer. So
far as I know, he stuck to it. Our mother told him: ’That’s good. ”’
C. W.: Our friendship with Glen goes back to 1956 when our son,
Jerry, bought some land here on Crow Flat from Glen’s parents
Dempson and Virginia Lewis.
When we moved to Crow Flat in 1960, Glen and his wife, Georgia
(Watson) Lewis were our nearest neighbors. Their children: Betty
Carol (Perry). Bobbie (Brown), Cathy, Clay and Larry were growing
up. All of the family, except Betty Carol, moved to Carlsbad
several years ago. We want to extend our sympathy to Georgia,
tier children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and to other
members of Glen’s family.

Friday (21) in the afternoon, I enjoyed a call from Larry Henderson,
manager of Guadalupe Mountains National Park. He said that they
were go mg to Arizona to help Mrs. Henderson’s mother celebrate
her 77th birthday, by taking her up in a hot air balloon, and then
they were going to Colorado to visit their oldest son, whom they
.had not seen for sometime. I hope to visit Larry and other friends
at the Park, some time in July.

In regard to the Herald’s publisher, Mrs. Lynch's letter (Page 2,
June 21, 1991), if I have understood what I have read in the papers,
El Paso County officials have led the fight against locating a waste
disposal dum p in Hudspeth County, while we have Hudspeth County
officials (Commissioners Court) asking the people of Hudspeth
County "to work cooperatively with State officials to open the
State Low-Level Radio-Active Dump in Hudspeth County. "
The time is propitious (1992 being election year) for the voters
of Hudspeth County to do some "house-cleaning" at the polls.
