Electricity On
FarmslBrings
Conveniences
Nearly nine out of ten farm
homes on REAfinanced electric
lines have radios more than eight
in ten have electric irons more
thun half have electric washing
machines and nearly a third have
electric refrigerators according to
REAs third annual utilization sur
vey just made public by Adminis
trator Harry Slattery
The survey which shows the
extent of use of various electrical
appliances on newly electrified
farms is based on questionnaires
returned by 43000 families scivcd
by 82 REAfinanced systems in
27 states While the systems have
been in operation for periods rang
ing from six months to a little
over four years Slattery said the
average length of service for consumers
reporting is 136 months
The survey reveals the follow
ing percentages of use for vari
ious appliances Radios nonbat
tery 875 per cent electric irons
841 per cent washing machines
553 per cent refrigerators 316
per cent toasters 294 per cent

At noon u lunch was served

he said is due to the fact that
the 1939 survey dealt with systems
located chiefly in northern
areas particularly in such States
as Minnesota Wisconsin and Mich
igan where farms are larger and
the use of electricty for dairying
water pumping and other farm
operations is more fully developed
Slattery explained that the
new survey is corrected for dis
tribution by states and may betaken
as a reasonably accurate
pictitro of the REAfinanced systems
throughout the nation
It should be noted Slattery
said that many of the items
are diluted In areas where dairying
is a major occupation percentages
of use of dairying equipment
will be high they arc lowered
when combined with figures
from areas where there is little
or no dairying The same holds
true of poultry equipment ect
Percentages on most appliances
are higher in the Northern States
with the crccption of the refrig
erator which experiences its great
est popularity in the South
The survey reveals that major
household appliance purchases are
for the most part made during
the first year after electrification
Use of farm equipment increases
more slowly as was expected
since considerable education is
necessary to familiarize farmers
with the ways of using electricity
in farming and with the equipment
available

Llkes Secretarys Suggestions
Suggestion by the executive
secretary of the Texas Game Fish
and Oyster Commission that the
United StatesMexican border be
fenced is being given serious consideration
in high places In Wash
ington according to word received
here and it is considered entirely
possible the move may be made
soon
soonA properly constructed fence the
entire distance of the border between
the two countries would
not only prevent the infiltration
of coyotes and other predators into
the U S The game departments
interest in the fence but would
aid in preventing cattle rustling
smuggling unlawful immigration
and the like The project has been
placed before proper authorities
in Washington by Texas congress

Tcxans are fishermen That is
proved by a census of anglers being
taken by the State Game De
partment Better than that Lone
Star State anglers know no age
limit They often start fishing
regularly at the tender ages of
four and five and there are enthusiasts
in their seventies
The youngest child found fish
ing frequently was Lillian Kcl
lcy a fourycaiold girl of Val
Verde County Several fiveyear
olds were found among them being
Charles Hall of Brownwood
Janice Glass of Brownwood and
Bill McCarson of Val Verde
Charles Northern of Salado at
the age of six is a consistent
angler So Is Bill Mobly ofBrown
County who is seven years old
The oldest consistent angler dis
rarely lets a week go by without
wetting a hook There are prob
ably older sportsmen
Mrs Floyd 45 of Tarrant County
may win the laurels as the
most consistent woman angler in
the state She frequently fishes as
often as twentyfive days a month
Plains Turkey Crop Good
The Panhandle region of Texas
promises to produce a very good
turkey crop this year considering
the rather limited turkey
LIS
ECE
range in those parts Along the
streams where there Is adequate
vegetation the turkey hatch this
year is reported as extremely good
by game wardens in the aera
One warden reports seeing a big
turkey hen with a brood of 14
young turkeys about the size of
quail in Hemphill county The
youngsters he said were fat and
in a healthy condition
Landowners of the Panhandle
are making every effort to guard
their deer and turkey crops so
that these species may be restored
at least in some sections of that
portion of the State
Muskrats In Panhandle
Muskrats are a great money
crop in the coastal marshes es
pecially in Chambers Jefferson
and Orange counties and the regional
game manager for that section
estimates it could be devel
oped by proper management of

of Texas are campaigning vigorously
against Illegal trotlines and
scores of them 500 to 1000 feet i v
long and equipped with Illegal
hooks have been found and destroyed
by wardens Many game
fish as well as catfish are caught
on trotlines One outfit found recently
had 2000 expensive needlepoint
hooks on it and probably
cost 50 The hooks were not
baited but the line was set In
zigzag style across a channel and
hundreds of fish were caught In
the sides by these daggers
Two wardens had a terrific battle
with a 43pound catfish caught
on one of these daggerpoint
hook equipped lines but finally
subdued the cat and took it to
an Orphanage All illegal game i
and fish confiscated by the garnet
department representatives is donated
to charitable organizations
in various parts of the state
About Fish Sanctuaries
Waters which have been declared
fish sanctuaries by the state
game department are closed to
all activities connected with fishing
the executive secretary of
the department warns and pointed
out ipcclflrully that 11 is illegal
to seine for minnows in the
sanctuaries
It Is unlawful for any person
to fish in any sanctuary with nets
trotlines seines hooks and lines
artificial bait or otherwise in any
manner take or catch or remove
rny 3h from a sanctuary under
penalty of a minimum fine of 25
and a maximum tine of 200
But ifyou think muskrats live
exclusively in the coastal marshes
you are wrong
Ever hear of trappers harvesting
muskrats in the Panhandle
Its a fact On one ranch alone in
that supposedly very dry belt
trappers harvested 600 muskrat
pelts last year according to reports
to the game departments
