Fish Population
Study Being Made
On Lake Greenwood
Columbia. August 11.—The first
large-scale fish population study in
the state is being launched on Lake
Greenwood by the Wildlife Re
sources Department under the di
rection of Jefferson Fuller, chief
of the-fresh water fisheries divis
ion.
This study involves checking the
catch of anglers, aerial surveys to,
determine the number of anglers,
examination of the individual fish i
to determine their age and rate of j
Large Cotton
Crop Expected
For This State
"" ^
Washington, August 1(1 — South
Carolina’s cotton crop this yea^ is
expected to total 725,000 bales,
about 10 per cent more than *last
year’s 657,000, the Agriculture De
partment said Monday.
The department predicted the
nation’s cotton crop will be 14,-
605,000 bales—three and a half
per cent less' than last year’s, but
still large enough to make quotas
almost a certainty for 1954.
South Carolina’s crop is not only
larger than last year’s but above
the 697,000-bale annual average for
growth and the use of chemicals to
learn the kind, number and size of
fish in certain areas.
The chemicals, which are harm
less to humans, birds, animals and
anything not having gills, strangle
the fish by constricting blood ves
sels in the gills. It does not affect
the edibility of the fish. The ef
fects of the treatment wear off in
about 36 hours and other fish move
back into the area.
It is planned tg treat three small,
icpresentative areas of the 13,000
acres in the lake.
After the results of the survey
art studied it can be determined
what action should be taken to cor
rect conditions in the lake, where
fishing success has fallen off sharp
ly in recent years. For instance, if
the ratio of rough fish to more de
sirable species is too high a pro
gram to eliminate or re<Juce certain
species of rough fish can be carried
on. If the study show’s too many
small ,and slow>growing fish, indi
cating too much competition for
the food supply, the catch of small
fish should be increased.
The results of the Lake Green
wood study may be the basis for
similar studies on other large im
poundments in the state.

the ten years from 1942 through
1951.
The state’s yield is high—an in
dicated 324 pounds per afcre, com
pared with only 286 pounds last
year and the ten-year average of
315 pounds.
Washington, August 10 — The
Agriculture Department today fore
cast a cotton crop of 14,605,000
bales this year—a harvest which
would force the government to in
voke rigid production controls next
year.
While 3.5 per cent smaller than
last year’s 15,618,000-bale . crop,
this year’s indicated production is
about 2,600,000 bales above the sur
plus level of farm law requiring
acreage planting allotments and
marketing quotas in 1954.
Secretary of Agriculture Benscon
has until Oct. 15 to make a decis
ion on controls. In the meantime,
his department will issue revised
production estimates in early Sep
tember and October. Officials said,
however, that is was hardly con
ceivable that production prospects
would decline enough to make con
trols unnecessary.
Quotas would require approval
by at least two-thirds of the grow
ers voting in a referendum which
would have tq l?e held between
mid-October and mid-December,
Controls were last invoked on
cotton in 1950.
The indicated cotton crop is the
third relatively large one in suc
cession and is far above the 10,-
year 1942-51 average of 12,215,-
000 bales. Officials are figuring on
domestic demands of about 9 1-2
million bales and exports of 3 1-2
million, totaling 13 million bales.
Supplementing this year’s crop is
a carryover of 5,200,000 bales from
previous crops.
STAMP LICKER
You can save lots of wear and
tear on your tongue when you
have many“'envelopes and stamps
to lick, if you’ll wrap an ice cube
in a thick rag and moisten them
with that.
Should controfs be required next
year farmers would be asked to
plant perhaps between 17 1-2 and
18 1-2 million acres, compared with
24,618,00 this year, unless Con
gress should change the' law and
set a higher minimum planting
figure.
