Now Is The Time:
Be Careful Of Snakes
This is the time of the year
when poisonous reptiles, such as
the very unpopular but weUknown
rattlesnake, are coming out. Ac-
cording to H. D. Dodgen, execu-
tive secretary, Texas Game and
Fish Commission, March ia the
month when the weather la just
cool enough to keep the snakea
in their dens and just warm en-
ough to make it nice for an out-
ing.
This situation will not last
long,” declares the executive se-
cretary. “Once the warm wea-
ther arrives in force, the rattlers
■will leave these dans and beg
to slip through the brtrtHUffaa* or
just lie behind rocks and drowse
in the sun.”
Dodgen described the large
catches made recently at
Sweetwater as proof enough that
there will be plenty of snakes In
Texas when hot weather comes.
Some four thousand rattlesnakes
were captured during die two day
snake hunt held in that ranching
area.
Be extra careful when on an
outing," he warned. “These kill-
ers usually hide in places where
you’d least expect them to be.
Don’t reach behind a rock or a
stump until you’ve checked far
snakes. When lifting wood from
pile, jab it a few times to

make sore there are got rattlers

and remember them when you're
in the country or even In your
own back yard.”
He stressed the Importance of
at least one in a group knowing
the first-aid for inake bites. “If
you’re going into the woods,
know how to doctor a snake bite.
There are all kinds of pamphlets
out on this subject. Knowing it
may save a life.”
