230km NW Villa Hayes rd, Deer Pt Hayes, Paraguay
in which the trees are planted & no more. No
garden now, but did have one. The soil is
saline clay, which Estegarrilba says "goes" in
deep. No sand underlayers as at exp'tl station.
Most of work done by hand - they have a
broken bulldozer & no tractors. Serpentas
are cheap at 1-1,500/month. Cowboys too
at 3,000/month.
Estegarrilba talked to a person flight in 1970.
Betty - horses & cattle show no signs of
rampires. 6 or 7 years ago rabies was epidemic,
but brought under control (they say) by
stopping up holes of hollow trees. There are
2 know roasts nearby which are allowed
to go for a few months, then the leaves don't
a parasite. Apparently it's has come back.
Unfortunately the description of the bat killed -
"murcielago colorado" - gets Noctilio little,
than Dremole & very description of its
gray & white Vesperly drew blank stare
flock of very white roseal spoonbill
many were as we came up, about 1/2 way
