3,000 Herds
In Brucellosis
Quarantines
AUSTIN-More than
3.000 cattle herds were
quarantined for brucellois as
of June 1. Dr. H.Q. Sibley of
the Texas Animal Health
Commission has reported.
The infection rate among
the 3,042 herds was 2.3
percent. Of the 268,711
cattle tested in May, 6,213
were found to be reactors.
Number of herds pending
tests and other investigations
totaled 2,301.
Sibley said the highest
percentage of infected herds
is in the heavy rainfall areas
of East Texas where cattle
density is high.
Agriculture Commissioner
John C. White pointed out
that the extent of the spread
of brucellosis could seriously
affect the reputation of
Texas cattle in domestic and
foreign markets.
Around 200 farms in
Texas produce livestock
Most of the state - about 90
percent of the 254 ,
counties - has not been
certified brucellosis-free.

"The combined information
submitted by the clubs is
beginning to show the status of
bass fishing in some 50 state
reservoirs," said Seidensticker.
"As expected, Lakes Sam
Rayburn, Livingston and Toledo
Bend are the most popular
tournament lakes."
However, the largest bass
reported so far this year is a
10-pound two-ounce lunker
taken from Lake Texoma.
Seidensticker’s work is part of
of an annual project to keep the
Parks and Wildlife Department
up-to-date on bass fishing in all
Texas lakes. The survey stems
from a project Seidensticker
completed in 1974 on the effects
of bass tournament fishing on
Texas lakes.
This original work found that
insignificant numbers of bass
were taken during the tourna-
ments. Mprtality, however, was
a high as 96 per cent during
some of the summer-month
tournaments.
That figure has dropped to
25-30 per cent through the use
of live wells to keep fish until
weigh-in time.
During 1975, Seidensticker so
far has obtained results from 18
tournaments. His preliminary
findings show that the popular
East Texas Lakes are yielding
many large fish weighing more
than six pounds.
“The average rate of catch,"
he said, "is one fish for every
