The key to controlling aquatic
vegetation is proper weed identi-
fication. Guessing can be expen-
sive Aquatic plants come m all
sizes and shapes but generally
tall into one ot tour categories:
algae (often called "scum"),
submerged plants (often called
"moss"), floating plants, and
emerged plants, plants rooted in
the bottom of the pond that grow
above the water.
Fresh samples may be sub-
mitted to the County Hxtension
Office fqr identification and con-
trol recommendations. However,
it is best to call ahead of time
to make sure I am in the office.
Fond owners with Internet
access can visit the Extension’s
Website called "Aquaplant." The
site provides photos, sketches,
descriptions and control options
for more than .SI) common weed
species. In addition, labels for
various herbicides can be (down-
loaded to help determine the best
course of action. The Website
address is http://aquapUmt.tamu.
edit/.
Fond owners have three
options to control most plant
species: chemical, biological
and mechanical. Chemical and
biological methods can be very
effective if done tight and at the
right time.
Chemical control involves the
use of one ot more approved
herbicides to control targeted
species. As with the use of any
pesticide, pond owners should
closely follow label directions.
Severely infested ponds should
he treated in sections with a
week resting period between
treatments. Do not treat more
than 25 percent of the surface
area during a summertime treat-
ment; too much decaying vegeta-
tion over too short ot a time may
result in oxygen depletion
The most common type of
biological control is the use of
diploid grass carp When stocked
at the piopcr density, grass carp

ever, pond owners mttst buy it
pemut through Texas Parks and
W'ddlite be I ore purchasing grass
carp. They may only be pur-
chased from a fish tann holding
an exotic species permit. To find
out more on the triploid grass
carp go to WWW.tpwd. slate.tx.us/
Jish/infish/ponds/.
Tilapia, a fish species native
to southern Asia, has also been
used to selectively control fila-
mentous and other species of
algae. Tilapia can be purchased
at many Hast Texas fish farms.
Mechanical control involves
the use of weed harvesters, seines
or hand removal This technique
is usually of limited value in
typical farm ponds. Mechanical
control will most likely have to
be done each year.
When visiting with pond own-
ers, many times I get the same
response, “I've tried everything
and nothing works.” There are
many reasons why aquatic weed
control is a painful process. The
main reasons consist of incorrect
identification of the target spe-
cies, inaccurate calculation of
the area or volume of the site to
be treated, and improper applica-
tion of the control technique.
Don't guess at what you’re
trying to control. Get a positive
identification of weed species,
atid then assess your options as
whether to go with chemical,
biological or mechanical tech-
niques.
Lastly, I must stress that the
control methods I am talking
about pertain to pond manage-
ment. Many of our readers live
around the shoreline of Lake Fork
or Lake Tawakoni. In order to do
any type of weed management
program there, you must contact
the Sabine River Authority to
discuss management options and
to obtain permits.

remember when you purchased
that sugar or Hour and as my
Granny tarene used to say. ’ll
youi ingredients aren't Irexli, then
your recipe won't turn out as
well." Alice Henncman. MS, RI).
Extension Educator and Joyce
Jensen, RLHS.CFSF Lincoln-
Lancaster County Health Depart-
ment have written the following
article that will help you know
the proper amount of time to keep
your staple ingredients and how
to test for freshness.
Storing Kitchen
Cupboard Foods
T he following storage tips are
based on food stored at a room
temperature of aboyf 70 I The
times are those generally cited
tor maintaining best food quality.
A range of times and the more
conservative recommendations
are given to allow for age ol
the product when purchased, how
long it has been open, etc. READ
LABELS CAREFULLY - they
often contain important storage
information and recommended
“use by" dates.
Baking Powder - 12 to 18
months or expiration date on con-
tainer.
Storage Tip: Store tightly cov-
ered in a dry place. Make sure
measuring utensils are dry before
dipping into the container.
Testing for Freshness; Mix I
teaspoon baking powder with 1/3
cup hot water. If it foams vigor-
ously, it still has rising power.
Baking Soda - 12 to 18 months
or expiration date on container.
Storage Tip: Store tightly cov-
ered in a dry place. Make sure
measuring utensils are dry before
dipping them into the container.
Testing for Freshness: Place
1-1/2 teaspoons in a small bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon vinegar. If
it fizzes, then it will still help
leaven a food. If it doesn’t fizz,
use it as an odor catcher in the
refrigerator.
Shortening - 3 to 8 months
opened; 8 to 12 months
unopened.
Storage Tip #1: Store in a
tightly closed container in a cool,
dark place.
Storage Tip #2: Times report-
ed by shortening companies and
other sources varied. For more
specifics, see “Kitchen Cupboard

Storage ITp #3: Shortening
th.il h.i' been stored t*h> long
will go rancid and develop an
undesirable taste and odor If you
haven't used a shortening for a
while, smell it before using it in
a recipe
White'Hour ft to t2 months
Storage I ip *tr Sr<we in »
cool, dry place It s important to
stoic flour in an airtight container
or free/er hag to preserve the
Hour’s moisture content. Expo-
sure to low or high humidity will
affect the flour s moisture content
and may influence the outcome of
a recipe.
Storage lip #2: For longer
storage, keep white llouis in the
refrigerator in an airtight contain-
er. All purpose and bread flour
will keep up to two years at 40° F
m your refrigerator, according to
the Wheat foods Council innc.
wheatfouds.otg. I hey can be
stored indefinitely in the freezer.
Storage Tip #3: As a gen-
eral rule, if measunng flour from
refrigerated oi frozen flour, allow
your measured portion to come to
room temperature before using it
in baked goods. Remove the flour
for your recipe a few hours before
use, so if doesn’t affect the action
of other ingredients such as bak-
ing powder or yeast.
Brown Sugar - 4 months to 6
months for maximum flavor.
Storage lip: It’s VERY
important to store brown sugar
in an airtight container to retain
its moisture and prevent it from
becoming hard. Either store it
in its original plastic bag, tightly
closed, or transfer to an airtight
container or a heavy moisture-
proof plastic bag, such as a freez-
er hag.
To Soften Brown Sugar:
Brown sugar becomes hard when
the moisture in it has evaporated.
Several methods have been sug-
gested to help restore the mois-
ture. The following is an over-
view of those mentioned most
frequently:
• Oven Method. Heat the
brown sugar m a 250 F oven for
a few minutes. Watch it carefully
and as soon as it is soft, measure
the amount you need. When the
sugar cools, it will become hard
again. Warning; the sugar will be
very hot.
• Microwave Method. Place
brown sugar in a microwave-safe
container and cover loosely with
a clean, white, wet (but not drip-
ping wot) paper towel. Microwave

While Granulated Sugar - 2
years
Storage Tip: Store sugar in
an airtight container or a heavy
moisture-proof plastic bag, such
.is a free/er bag Properly stored
<ugar keeps indefinitely.
To Soften Hardened While
Sugar: When white granu-
lated sugar absorbs moisture, it
becomes hard The following are
some possible suggestions for
breaking up hard sugar:
• Put hard sugar in a sturdy
food-quality bag and pound it
with a hammer, meat pounder or
flat side of a meat mallet.
• Smash smaller pieces with a
mortar and pestle.
• Break up small pieces in a
spice grinder.
Vegetable Oil - 1 to 6
months opened; 6 to 12 months
unopened.
Times vary according to type
of oil, method of processing, etc.
Some companies recommend up
to I year opened and 2 years
unopened for certain of their oils.
For oils with a shorter storage
time, some companies recom-
mend refrigerating the oil after
opening. See “Kitchen Cupboard
Management 101” at the end of
this article for suggestions on
how to contact the company for
more information. NOTE: If the
container has sat unopened for
the total storage time, it no longer
may be fresh the entire “opened"
storage time.
Storage Tip #1: Store in a
tightly dosed container in a cool,
dark place.
Storage Tip #2: Some of the
oils that may have a shorter stor-
age life include walnut, sesame,
hazelnut and almond oils.
Storage l ip #3: Oil that has
been stored too long will go ran-
cid and develop an undesirable
taste and odor. If you haven’t
used an oil for a while, smell it
before using it in a recipe.
Storage Tip #4: You can pro-
long the life of oils by storing
them in the refrigerator. Some,
such as olive oil, may become
cloudy in the refrigerator but usu-
ally clear after sitting at room
temperature to warm up.
