Licenses Sold
This Season
AUSTIN, Ti'x.—Fishing license
sales almost doubled during tile
fiscal year ending August 31, ac
cording to the- Fiscal Director o
the Game and Fish Commis-imi
Texans bought 782,3.18 rr-ide-n
fishing licenses this year as com- j
pared with 1956-57 sales of 430.794.
“The increase is due mainly to,
broader coverage since some ex-
emptions were eliminated in the
present fishing license law." the
director said. This was the first
year a license was required to
fish in coastal waters, and with any |
kind of bait when using a winding ,
device.
Resident hunting licenses totaled]
399,765. This is a slight decline |
from the 413,819 licenses sold in
1956-57, the director said, hut all
other types of licenses showed in-
creases.

New Controls
By Biologists
Help Fishing
AUSTIN. — Constant research
by fisheries biologists is leading
the way to new control methods
and improved fishing, according to
the Director of Inland Fisheries
of the Game and Fish Commis-
sion, Recently a statewide program
of research projects was initiated
in each of nine regional labora-
tories of the division.
Each project is different so over-
lapping of work has been eliminat-
ed, the director explained. This
program will help determine prin-
ciples to adopt in the future con-
cerning management practices.
Of interest to fishermen as
well as the biologists is the
“fish calling" project being carried
on at Austin. Different species will
he placed in a large “live box”
where a hydrophone will pick up
sounds made by the fish. The
noises will he tape-recorded then
played hack to the fish to study
their response.
Selective kills in flowing streams
may become practicable with the
tests being run at San Marcos.
Chemicals are metered out for a
certain portion of the stream. At
a point downstream neutralizers
are introduced, therefore limiting
the treatment to that part of the
stream between the two points.
Biologists at Mathis are making
pellets that will bloat fish to make
them float to the surface. If no
fish takes them, reaction with the
water will dissolve the pellets after
30 minutes.

FISCAL YEAR 1958

past year. Scouring process on
these fleeces shows that there is too
much oil in the fleece. In the
heavy weight fleece only 46.2 per
cent was clean mohair, or 46.2
pounds of a 100-pound lot of mo-
hair before scouring. He agreed
that the fleece needed a certain
amount of oil to keep soft and
that is possibly one reason mills
prefer Texas mohair over South
Africa, but he expressed a doubt
as to breeding for too much oil.
It was also brought out that
ranchers are noticing that the goats
are having foot trouble and crook-
ed legs. With scarcity of labor to
watch over the goats at kidding
time, it has become necessary for
the goats to be turned out on the
range more and more at this time,
and that the development of the
hoof was important as well as good
conformation and other character-
istics of a fine Angora goat.
Lack of government-set price
floors on mohair with the fiber on
a free-wheeling basis of its own is
keeping the industry above par and
consequently above the ailments
that are plaging cotton and other
commodities with price supports
and floor prices.

0CIAL OECURITY
Severely disabled people have
two forms of protection under the
social security law. Those under
50 and unable to work may safe-
guard their and their family’s fut-
ure benefits by “freezing" their
social security records. Those 50
or over, and their dependents,
can received monthly payments.
For further information see your
social security representative, Mr.
Luke F. Wade who will be in
Rocksprings at the County Court-
room on Friday, October 31, at
9:00 a. m.
* * *
Beginning January 1, 1959, work-
ers and their employers will each
pay two and one-half percent social
security tax on yearly wages up to
$4,800. Until the end of 1958, the
tax remains at the present level,
two and one-fourth percent on the
first $4,200 of wages. Self-employ-
ed people will contribute three and
three-quarters percent on their
net earnings for 1959. This increase
in the tax rate and in the amount
of taxable earnings will help pay
for higher social security benefits
now and in the future.
