the wild game, deer are the most
sensitive to their habitat. They need
a place for shelter and the right
kind of diet. A white tail deer will
starve to death on a grass diet, but
will thrive on leaves from certain
bushes and trees that grow in the
brush country of South Texas. And
they will not eat just anything.
They will eat some sage brush, but
mainly for “seasoning” (we think).

ROUND-UP
LEAD POISONING—DOES IT
REALLY KILL DUCKS?
A Texas Parks & Wildlife biolo-
gist has made a study of lead
poisoning of ducks and geese dur-
ing the 1973 season and has found
it has very little effect, except in
one county, Jefferson. Out of 359
ducks collected from the Panhandle,
1.1 per cent had lead pellets in
their gizzards. Out of 721 ducks
collected in the central region, 2.4
per cent had lead. (This computes
out at 8.5 ducks—a very meagre
number) In the coastal area, 357
birds were examined (excluding Jef-
ferson Co.) and 2.8 per cent had
lead. In Jefferson Co., where all
the samples were collected from
public hunting areas, 22.1 per cent
had lead.
The astonishing thing about the
entire report, hone of the birds col-
lected in Jefferson Co., where the
lead count was so high were in poor
condition and showed no evidence
of an emaciated condition. The
Parks and Wildlife biologist who
made this study, C. D. Stutzenback-
er, says additional study and in-
formation is needed.
The Jefferson Co. ducks were
taken from a refuge now operated
by the state which was previously
a highly productive private hunt-
ing club for years, and tons of lead
were deposited in the lakes during
that era.
Since the are was secured by the
state in 1958, a total of 280,000
rounds have been fired (estimated
of course) in the lake areas. With
an average of 150 pellets pey
round, this would mean 42 million
plus pellets of lead were deposited
in the area. How many pounds or

to give them an edge on their com-
petition in District next year. The
Bears will be back in ’74-’75!”
tons this is, we have no idea.
One thing for sure—a very small
per cent of the ducks that come to
Texas eat the pellets. For those
that do, it does not seem to have
a noticeable effect.
Several questions: How long does
the pellet stay in the gizzard? For
the life of the duck, or is it dis-
charged? Also, how many pellets
are necessary to provide the poison-
ing to kill a duck? Also, we would
like see the figures from biologists
on the estimated number of ducks
that die each year from lead
poisoning?
We would think the biologists have
to come up with a lot of answers
yet before a switch is made to steel
shot or some other type of shot.

ODDS AND ENDS PICKED UP
here and there in the world of sport
— Federal Customs agent for the
border area, who has offices in Mc-
Allen, told the, Valley Sportsmen’s
Club at a recent ijneeting that his
office has a year Tan which to file
charges against those who exceeded
the import limit on white wings for
any one week. He said that some
hunters apparently thought they
could cross at Brownsville one day,
at Progreso the next, and Hidalgo
the next and would not be checked
on, but he assured the club this was
not so, as all the import declara-
tions come to his office, and he in-
dicated there were a number of vio-
lations and that he would be
“knocking at their door” before the
one year expiration was up. . . •
Game biologist says reports from
Game Preserve books show that
Willacy Co. had 20 per cent less
deer kill in 1973 season, compared
to 1972. He said this county was
easily checked because it had the
fewest number of hunting leases of
any county in this area. . . .We
would guesstimate that the figures
for Hidalgo Co. will be 25 or 30 per
cent less, mainly because of fewer
acres for hunting compared to the
previous year. If the demand for
land continues, and grain prices
continue high, we would say that in
five years, there will be half the
acreage leased for deer hunting,
compared to the year 1972. Of all

The Pharr Unity Ticket has pledged from the day of its
first announcement, to conduct a clean and positive
campaign, and they have adhered to this pledge. In
keeping with this pledge, here are some of the accom-
plishments of our administration during the past 18
months:
1. —- Improved street lighting — PHARR IS NO LONGER A DARK CITY.
a. 300 new 4,000-lumen street lights.
b. The existing street lights increased from 2,500-lumen to
4,000-lumen.
2. — Replaced more than 80% of street-name and traffic-control signs.
(Hardly anything makes a city more “down-at-the-heels” than faded,
weather-beaten signs. AND NOW WE KNOW WHERE WE ARE AND
WHERE WE ARE GOING!
3. — REPLACED 800 worn-out or obsolete water meters.
4. -4- Improved pay of city employees to a level competitive with that of our
neighboring city, stopping loss of qualified and experienced pebple,
and also providing incentive for better service to tax-payers.
5. — Established “open-door” and “citizen-involvement” policies at City
Hall — 57 citizens now serve on 5 different city advisory boards and
committees.
6. — Pharr police are now known as competent, professional, fair and hon-
est — not politically-influenced or “speed-trap” minded.
7. — A feeling of confidence and stability has resulted in more than 4 mil-
lion in new building permits last year, and over 50 new business
establishments or professional offices — Result: MORE sales tax reve-
nue and MANY new job opportunities.
8. — New and improved parks — summer recreation programs — a clean
and beautiful city — and NOW a feeling of pride in our city.
