COUNTY AGENT’S
CLIPPINGS
By John Campbell
Sodium Arsenite Solution
(four pounds of Arsenic Triox-
ide” per gallon) is recommend-
ed to reduce or destroy many
species of submerged weeds and
surface algae in reservoirs of
standing water.
From two and one-half to
seven and one-half parts per
million gallons-of water, depend
ing on size and depth of the
water area, is recommended.
There are many kinds of mos-
ses requiring certain chemicals
for control and if you are not
sure of the exact kind of vege-
tation you want to kill it is ad-
visagle to have the plant prop-
erly identified.
The best way to bring in an
aquatic plant specimen is to pull
the plant out by the roots, if it
is a rooted plant, and press the
entire plant between the leaves
of newspapers. Put something
heavy on the newspaper so that
the plant will be pressed and
completely dried. Then wrap it
and send it to me, the local SCS
or Wildlife Department at A. &
M. College.
To determine how much So-
dium Arsenite to use, the num-
ber of surface acres and aver-
age depth of water must be
known. Average depths may be
determined by sounding the
pond or lake with a long pole
marked off in feet. This should
be done as accurately as possi-
ble. Surface area in acres multi-
plied by average depth in feet
give the acre feet of water to
be treated.
This formula is used to deter-
mine the quantity of a 40 per-
cent Sodium Arsenite Solution:
acre ft. x 2.7 x parts per mil-
lion required (this will range
between two and one-half and
sevon andv one-half parts per
million) divided by four equals
number of gallons of Sodium
Arsenite.
For example: a lake having
five surface acres and an aver-
age depth of three and one-half
feet- is to be treated at ive parts
ppr million:—5 acres x 3.5 ft. x
5 p.p.m. divided by 4 equals 59.5
or 60, gallons of Sodium Arse-
nite.
There are over 21,000 acres
of deferred grazing in Kendall
County with tlie ASC Program
for 1957.
Of course many additional
acreage has been deferred or
will be deferred due to the ran-
cher’s good management. Since
Kendall County has 400,000
acres of ranch land, the deferred
figure with a one year’s period
of time should read 100,000
acres. It is practically impossible
to know the exact number of
acres deferred in a year, but a
good rule is to defer, one quar-
ter of the pasture land a year.

You can add years of life to
wooden outdoor furnishings by
treating them with a wood pre-
servative.
Wood decay is caused by the
action of fungi—small plant like
organisms present everywhere
in the soil. Numerous insects
also attack wood. Rain soaked
and all wood in contact with the
soil are ideal for their destruc-
tive activity.
The most satisfactory wood
preservative is Pentachlorophe-
nol, often referred to as “pen-
ta.” It is sold under different
trade names but the container
label will tell its content. The
preservative is poisonous to both
insects and fungi. Mixed with
oil, it is not soluble in. water,
and wood soaked with it be-
comes water repellent.
Protect your picnic furniture,
swings, gloders and other furn-
ishings for lawns and backward
with penta. Tables, benches and
chairs can be made longer last-
ing by letting each leg stand
over night in a container filled
with the solution. Other vulner-
able spots can be treated by re-
peatedly flooding the surface
with the preservative and allow-
ing it to stand until it disap-
pears into the wood.
The wood should be dry and
unpainted. If desired, paint can
be applied over the preservhtive
after ft is thoroughly dry.
