to answer that question and a few
more which may be confusing to
some of you. Mike and Billy Musick, sons of
The law states, “Not more than an<^ blrs W. F. Musick Jr., of
100 hooks altogether which may be Iredell, arrived here last Sunday to
used in any combination of the fol- SI>tn(* This week with their grand-
lowing: pole and line, rod and reel,! Parents, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Rier-
artificial and natural baits, hand- son-
line, set line, or throw line, and
not more than two trotlines with
more than 50 hooks each; hooks on
throw lines and trotlines must be
spaced not less than three horizon
tal feet apart.
"Minnow seines not more than
20 feet in length for taking only
minnows, bream, perch, or rough
fish.
"A spear gun and spear or bow
and arrows for taking only rough J
fish, but it shall be unlawful to
possess any fish other than a rough
fish when using a spear gun and
spear or bow and arrow.”
Rough fish are defined as the
following species: carp, suckers,
buffalo, gar, shad, Rio Grande
perch, and drum.
As you can well aee, the law does
not state you cannot use perch or
bream for bait. I am sure the rea-
son it states that you can use a
20-foot seine for taking this species
is so that you may use them for
trotline bait.
There is no size limit on any
species of fish in this district (Ham
ilton and Boaque Counties). How-
ever, there is a possession limit on
channel, blue and flathead, or yel-
low catfish. There also is a posses
sion limit on largemouth, small-
mouth, or spotted black bass. The
daily bag limit on any of the above
mentioned catfish is 25 per day or
50 in possession of a single species
or in aggregate. The daily bag limit
on any of the abovementioned black
bass is 15 per day or 30 in pos-
session of a single species or in
aggregate.
I would like to add that the laws
above are good on any lake or
river or pond in these two coun
ties. However, on any private lake
or pond the property owner does
have the right to regulate these
laws to fit bis own taste.
There have been some good
catches of both yellow and channel
catfish made on all three rivers in
this area. I believe the largest in
our area has been a 92-pound yel-
low cat caught In the Brazos above
the Kimball Bridge. There have
been several yellows caught in the
Bosque weighing up to 20 pounds.
The channels have been going from
two to ten pounds at Meridian State
Parte. I have seen as much as 40
pounds of channels caught there in
one night, but I believe they have
■lowed down since the water has
CONG. POAGI REPORTS
Two Large Appropriation
Bilb Shew Reactions
May 22, 1964
Dear Friends:
The House continues to dlsposa
of the Appropriation bills, while
the Senate continues to discuss the
Civil Rights bill The House is mak-
ing very good progress and before
long we will apparently be waiting
on the Senate.
This week we passed and sent
two major appropriations to the
Senate for action whenever that
body can get to them. The first was
the Agricultural bill and the second
was the Independent Offices bill.
They are both big bills but as
passed they resulted in a consid-
erable reduction as compared with
last year’s expenditures. We are
all happy to see these reductions in
the budget but 1 am sure that we
will soon be hearing more com-
plaints about the items which were
left out than about those which are
in these bills.
One of the sharpest and most
stubborn fights developed over an
item of $1,600,000 for a peanut
“utilization" laboratory in Georgia.
This is an old fight and will prob-
ably come up again. Generally, I
strongly favor research but we can
get too much of a good thing and
in this case I did not feel that this
proposed laboratory was a “good
thing" even if it had cost us noth-
ing.
There arc three peanut areas in
the United States. North Carolina
and Virginia grow "Virginia” type
peanuts. Texas and Oklahoma grow
“Spanish" peanuts. Georgia, Ala-
bama and Florida grow some Span-
ish but far more “Runner” peanuts.
These Runners were long consider-
ed only good for bog feed. The New
Orleans Regional Laboratory was
established to study all Southern
crops—including peanuts—and it
has done so so successfully that
their Runners now compete with
all other peanuts. While we recog
nize that we must meet competition
we feel that any further peanut re
search should be carried on at New
Orleans where it can be done most
cheaply and certainly that it abould
not be put in any one of the three
producing areas where it would
hurt any other type of peanuts.
Naturally, the Georgia people
have tried to put this Laboratory in
the Runner area. They are very in-
fluential and each year we have
had to defeat this move. This year
one of the Georgia Representatives,
Mr. Forrester, had done a very
thorough job of lining up votes.
While he waa sick this week, many
Members felt that they should vote
for him rather than for the merits
of the Appropriation. On the first
day they beat us on a teller vote
but on the second day we were able
to take this item out by a Roll Call
Vote.
This is a good illustration of how
personalities get involved in legis-
lation and how we get lots of un-
needed items in appropriation bills
—of course, I voted against this
item.
