Rough Fish Kill
Scheduled For
Possum Kingdom
The enlarged program for rough
fish eradication in Possum King-
dom lake is a chemical treatment
process and no poisoning is involv-
ed, according to the Director of
Inland Fisheries.
“Studies now are being made
by biologists,’’ the Director said.
“During the latter part of July we
will move enough men with boats
and planes onto the water to cover
the lake thoroughly in one day.
This definitely is not a poisoning
program. Through sampling we
have determined the amount of
chemical treatment necessary for
removal of certain types of rough
fish.
“This treatment affects the gills
of the fish, which makes it impos-
sible for them to breathe in the
treated water. When they are sur-
faced they are picked up or they
wash ashore and are destroyed.
“After this treatment the fish are
still edible and thousands of
pounds will be picked up by per-
sons who will use them for food.”
This treatment program on
Possum Kingdom Will be the lar-
gest of its kind ever attempted,
according to the Director. It will
involve the use of scores of men
and boats and possibly airplanes
They will be equipped for spread-
ing the Chemical over the entire
lake.
The program has the full sup-
port of all the sportsmen of the
area, many of them offering as-
sistance when the event is sch-
eduled.

LIGHT-STRONG-BEAUTIFUL
Use Pesticides
Only Fw Hieir
Intended Purpose
College Station, Tex.—Never use
plant pesticide* on liveitock. This
rule for protecting farm animals
from chemical poisoning was de-
veloped by U.S.D.A. scientists in-
vestigating occasional cases of
livestock poisoning by insecticides
and herbicides.
Though the same material may
be used in preparations designed
for use on animals as for plants,
the concentration and chemical
formulation may be vastly differ-
ent. The difference can mean a
sick animal. Pesticides arc "safe”
only when used as intended by the
manufacturer and in accordance
with his directions, points out
C. F. Garner, extension entomolo-
gist.
Never over-treat plants to be us-
ed as livestock feed, advises Gar-
ner. Some highly poisonous insec-
ticides can be used safely because
directions call for quantities too
small to cause animal poisoning.
Less toxic compounds may be
more dangerous where larger than
recommended quantities are used.
Always follow the manufacturer’s
directions and never guess at quan-
tities, cautions Garner.
Poison symptoms appearing in
animals fed pesticide-treated ma-
terials may mask even more serious
disorders such as rabies, pseudo-
rabies and encephalitis. Diagnosis
is difficult, but animals suffering
from pesticide poisoning alone will
usually recover completely under
good care, providing the poisoning
is not too severe.
Chlorinated hydrocarbon insec-
ticides such as DDT, TI)E, meth-
oxychlor, benzene hexachlor, iso-
drin and endrin act on the central
nervous system. Symptoms range
from severe depression to violent
convulsions or respiratory paralysis.
Organic phosphorus compounds
used for plant pest control arc
closely allied to the nerve gasses
developed for chemical warfare.
They include parathihon, methyl
parathion, malathion, Dipterex,
chlorothion and Guthion. They also
affect the nervous system, and ani-
mals poisoned breathe with diffi-
culty, slobber and stiffen.
Chemical weed killers rarely poi-
son livestock, despite claims to the
contrary. The only danger, accord-
ing to the USDA scientists, lies
in consumption of freshly treated
plants. This can be avoided by re-
moving livestock from treated
areas for one or two weeks. Ar-
senical compounds are well estab-
lished as poisonous, but they are
less frequently used than formerly.
The common weed-killers 2, -4-D
and 2, 4, 5-T are much less toxic
to animals.
Garner suggests that copies of
the various insect and parasite con-
trol guides, both for plants and
animals, be obtained from the lo-
cal county agent or the Agricultural
Information Office, College Station,
Texas.
