ALVIN, WHEN MY HAIR HAS TURNED'
BACK TO BRUNETTE AGAIN 7*
BRIGHT INSECTS
*pED HAD a week’s vacation and
went to the country for the first
time. It was the month for light
ning bugs and mosquitoes. In two
days Ted was home again. “What’s
wrong?” he was asked. “Why are
you back so soon?” “I’ll tell you,”
replied Ted, “it’s bad enough to
have to put up with ordinary mo
squitoes, but when they start car
rying lanterns to hunt you, then it’s
time to get out.”
PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Two friends met on the street
after not having seen each other
for some time. One.of them was
using crutches. ^
“Hello!” said the other man.
“What’s the matter with you?”
“Street-car accident” said the
man on' crutches.
“When did it happen?”
“Oh, about six weeks ago.”
“And you still have to use
crutches?”
“Well, my doctor says I could
get along without them, but my
lawyer says I can’t.”
Out of Danger
Mr. Newlywed: “Darling, today
I insured my life for $50,000 so you
will always be provided for.”
Mrs. Newlywed: “How clever of
ytm, dear. Now you wop’t have to
go to that old doctor anymore.”
Short Cut
Pastor: “Mr. Grump, I have
come at the request of your neigh
bors. They wish me to help you get
the profanity out of your life.”
Mr. Grump: “Well, sir, let me
tell you that the quickest way to do
that is to help me get rid of my
wife.”
Hard to Hit
Myrt: “Did you try those moth
balls I recommended?”
Marge: “I sure did, but I think
I need to take target practice. I
spent the whole evening firing
those things, and I didn’t down a
solitary moth.”
Painful Reminder
Jealous Wife: “Every time you
see a pretty girl you forget that
you’re married.”
Patient Husband: “On the con
trary, my dear, there is nothing
that makes me more aware of it.”
All Right With Him
Parent: “My boy, if you ever
hope to marry my daughter you’d
better stop taking her to night
clubs.”
Suitor: “I’m grateful to have you
say so, sir. Perhaps you could per
suade her to see it your way.”
EAST TO PLEASE
“We had quite a prominent actor
as a guest at our house the other
evening.”
“Gracious! didn’t you find it hard
to entertain him?”
“Oh, no, we just handed him a
bunch of photographs and a num
ber of his own was among them.
He amused himself for hours.”
FIRST SERVED
Hilda, the cook, was given a
steak, with instructions to pre
pare it for the evening meal.
“Mmpf,” she sniffed, “this won’t
go far in the family.” At dinner,
when the steak was served, it
seemed considerably shrunken,
and there was not enough for
everyone. “What happened to the
steak?” Hilda was asked. “1
said there wasn’t enough,” she
replied. “Why, as • matter of
fact. I’m still hungry.”
Fish Killer?
Throughout the summer of 1949,
instances of fish dying in ponds
near cotton fields that had been
dusted with the new organic cot
ton insect poisons were reported
to both the Alabama department
of conservation and the agricultur
al experiment station. The two org
anic poisons reported to have
caused the death of fish were toxa-
phene and the BHC-DDT mixture.
One report of toxaphene killing
fish was from the Kilby prison
farm near Montgomery. On this
farm there was a small fish pond
located in a pecan grove that was
planted in cotton. When the boll
weevil infection became heavy
during the early summer, this cot
ton field was dusted with 20 per
cent toxaphene by airplane.
Since the cotton was protected
by the pecan trees, it was impost
sible to get good dust coverage
with an airplane. To overcome this
difficulty, the pilot tried swooping
down over the pond with the dusk
er still working, thereby blowing
dust under the trees onto the cot-
ton., This dusting was done late one
evening and the Warden reported
that not only the dust released over
the pond but the dust fog from the
entire field seemed to settle over
the pond after the plane left.
The following morning there
were large numbers of small
* dead fish along the pdnd edge,
and many more were in dis
tress and diving in deeper
waters. The fish continued to
die for about 48 hours. When
the fish stopped dying, the
pond was drained and no live
fish were recovered.
Death of these fish was assumed
to be caused by toxaphene, since
it was known that very low concen
trations of this material would kill
fish. However, there was no infor
mation on how toxic this 20-per
cent dust form was to fish. To ob
tain this much needed information,
a number of tests were conducted
by the Experiment Station during
the summer of 1949. The more
common pond fishes, bluegill bream
and largemouth black bass, were
used in the tests.
Results of these experiments
showed that six pounds of 20 per
cent toxaphene dust (one-half of a
normal field application) applied
to an average one-acre pond would
kill fish.
Since this 20 per-cent toxaphene
dust was found to be poisonous in f
small amounts, it is believed that ■
the drift from dusting large , areas«
may , be sufficient to kill fish in
nearby bodies of water. It is pos
sible that this drift of dust was
responsible for the death of fish in
most of the cases that were report
ed during 1949.
AAA
Put 'Em Back!
If care is exercised in release,
most small fish that are “turned
back” will live to grow and bite
again, say biologists of the Tennes
see state game and fish commis
sion.
Survival-of fish depends'entirely
upon ’ the extent of injury. A fish
snagged in a vital organ will cer
tainly die but those with just
mouth injuries can live. In fact,
most fish that are hooked have at
least a 50*50 chance for survival.
Tests have proven that unless the
handling is especially severe and
prolonged, fish will survive treat
ment with dry hands, flopping
about on the bank or in a boat and
the swift jerk out of the water.
Tom Bingham, Tennessee chief
of law enforcement, cuts off hooks
hopelessly lodged in small fish for
he is convinced they can live. The
“Chief’ once fished Cumberland
Springs Lake frequently and land
ed h largemoutji bass weighing 8
pounds, 2 ounces. Deeply imbedded
in the fish was a hook and short
section of line. He knew the fish
had been previously snagged by a
friend because the hook Was a 1
hand-forged specialty. There have,
been other cases of fish living for
long periods when attached to
plugs, leaders and long lengths of
loose line.

Un-Posting Spreads
Wisconsin is in with an encour
aging report—one that should stim
ulate sportsmen in other states to
learn the why and wherefore. Wis
consin reports that this year—for
the first time in many years—
land-owners are “un-posting” more
streams than are being posted.
This is attributed to the state con
servation department’s rigidly en
forced rule against planting trout
within a half-mile of any part of
a stream that is posted.

Cheesecloth Strains Fat
When you deep fat fry foods
allow the hot fat to cool before
straining and storing it. This way
it will be easier and safer to han
dle. A good way to strain the fat is
to put a few folds oft cheesecloth in
a sieve and pour the fat through it
into a container that can be cov
ered tightly.
