tags are of no value and our
expense and efforts are wasted.”
“Sport and commercial fish-
ermen harvest the fish along the
Texas coast,” continued Lee.
“We rely almost entirely on
these people for the return of
tags.” In every case, an indi-
vidual sending in a tag is re-
warded with the history of his
particular fish. The U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service pays 50c
for each marked shrimp that is
returned to its offices in Gal-
veston.
Most fish tags are made of
plastic. They are usually clip-
ped on the edge of the gills or
fastened into the fleshy part of
the backs. The marked shrimp
will have green and blue heads.
If one of these is among your
catch, simply turn it over to
your game warden or send it to
the Marine Laboratory in Rock-
port.
The Colored County agent of
the County, J. J. Adams, re-
turned last week from graduate
study in the South-wide Re-
gional training program at Prai-
rie View, Texas A&M College.
He, along with 55 other farm
and home agents from seven
States, spent three weeks in in-
tensive study at the Texas in-
stitution. The training is de-
signed to enable the agents to
better serve the rural colored
people of the county.
Courses offered included: Ru-
ral Development, Rural Socio-
logy, Development of Extension
Programs, Extension Supervi-
sion, 4-H Club Organization and
Procedure, and Agricultural
Mass Communications.

IT IS LEGAL
TO CATCH
TAGGED FISH
Austin. — Contrary to what
some fishermen believe, it is
legal to catch tagged fish. In
fact, according to Howard Lee,
director of coastal fisheries,
Texas Game and Fish Com-
mission, fish are tagged for the
purpose of being caught.
Several biologists at the
Coastal Fisheries staff meeting
recently held in Rockport re-
ported that many fishermen
catching tagged fish are not
sending the tags to the Rock-
port office.
Biologists claim that most
fishermen refuse to return tags
because they believe catching
tagged fish is illegal. This, of
course, is not so. “Unless the
fish are caught,” said Lee, “the

The Annual District 4-H
Leadership Lab is being held
at Texas Lutheran College, Se-

• As shoppers, most of us
look for a “bargain.” To many
of us, a bargain means some-
thing that we buy at low cost.
Others look for the value of the
article. Milk is a bargain in both
respects—price-wise and value-
wise. It is still one of the low-
est priced foods in terms of
food value. Not one drop of
milk can be termed as “waste.”
• Planning a family trip? If
so, put aside the road maps and
travel folders long enough to
place valuable household papers
in order.
Loss of a valuable paper from
theft, fire or carelessness could
spoil your vacation. A safety
deposit box at your bank is one
of the best places for wills,
stocks and bonds, insurance po-
licies, family records of birth,
marriage, citizenship, military
service, deeds, leases, promis-
sory notes and other docu-
ments.
A household inventory is an-
other valuable record. Before
leaving on your trip, make du-
plicate copies or bring existing
ones up-to-date. One copy can
be placed in the bank box and
the other kept at home. You’ll
be glad you did if you have to
settle a theft or fire claim.
Take with you a list giving
the name of your automobile
insurance and hospitalization
insurance companies. Include
the number of each policy and
the names and addresses of the
agents.
If you carry travelers’ checks,
don’t forget to make one or
more lists of check numbers to
be carried separately from the
checks.

HOW TO CHECK FOR
BOLL WEEVILS
Examine cotton weekly for
boll weevils. Pull 100 squares,
at least one-third grown, at
random, removing a few
squares at several representa-
tive place in the field. If 15 to
25% or more have weevil punc-
tures, begin treatment. Two or
more applications of insecti-
cides are required to control
boll weevils. DDT is included
in these mixtures for bollworm
control and may be omitted
where bollworms are not a men-
ace.
HOW TO CHECK
FOR BOLLWORMS
Examine the terminal buds
(upper 3 to 4 inches of the
plant) of 100 cotton plants and
100 consecutive squares and
bolls at each of several points
in the field. Begin treatment
when bollworm eggs and 4 or 5
young worms are found per 100
small bollworms. Use of DDT
terminals or 5% of the small
squares and bolls have been in-
jured by small bollworms. Use
of DDT alone for bollworm con-
trol greatly increases possibility
of aphid infestations. Both cal-
cium arsenate dusts and toxa-
phene spray may be used for
boll weevil control but they are
less effective for bollworm con-
trol than other listed materials.
During heavy weevil infesta-
tions shorten intervals to 4 days.
For boll weevil or bollworms
use one of these (dusts): (1).
Low-lime calcium arsenate plus
1% parathion, (2). 2%% en-
drin—40% sulfur, (3). 20%
toxaphene—40% sulfur, (4).
2%% heptachlor—10% DDT—
40% sulfur, (5). calcium ar-
senate, (6). 2%% aldrin—10%
DDT—40% sulfur. Apply dusts
at 10 to 15 lb. per acre at 5
day intervals.
Apply sprays at 5-day inter-
vals. Any of these may be used
as sprays: (1). Endrin, (2).
Toxaphene, (3). Heptachlor and
DDT, (4). Aldrin plus DDT,
(5). Toxaphene-DDT, (6). Diel-
drin-DDT.

spray and what to use may be

Plastic Bags
Dangerous To
Small Children
Austin. — “Thin plastic cov-
erings—such as laundry bags,
vegetable bags and dry goods
wrappings — were responsible
for more than 20 deaths during
the first quarter of this year.”
J. O. Musick, general man-
ager of the Texas Safety Asso-
ciation made the above state-
ment today, in his Austin of-
fice, as he discussed one of the
newest hazards to appear in the
American home.
Musick said that no accurate
statistics have been compiled
that would as yet give a true
picture, but that a poll of 48
state health departments were
recently made by the National
Safety Council and revealed
that as many as 100 children
may die during 1959 in mishaps
involving plastic coverings.
“News reports alone, in re-
cent months, have been suffi-
cient evidence that thin plastics
are a menace when left within
easy reach of small children,”
Musick said.
He explanned that the danger
lies in the fact that thin plastic
will cling to the skin, some-
times causing infants to suf-
focate.
“Static electricity, similar to
that on a comb, after having
been run through hair, is gen-
erated on the thin plastic in
handling. Any youngster getting
the bag close to his face is like-
ly to have it literally grab him
through an electrical attraction.
“Also, in at least two cases,
children have died from chew-
ing off bits of plastic which
lodged in the windpipe.
“Another hazard, especially
among older and stronger chil-
dren, is created if the child puts
the bag over his head. Before
long he is breathing deadly car-
bon dioxide. The dizziness, in-
ability to react promptly and
muscle spasms occur with more
rapid breathing. Before the vic-
tim realized it, he is too weak-
ened to tear the plastic from
his face.”
The safety expert said the
remedy for such accidents is
merely one of common sense
and that once parents are told
that these particular plastics
are dangerous, most of them
will simply keep the plastics
away from small children, just
as they would a poisonous in-
secticide or medicine.
