Bass Catches in Depleted Texas Lakes Can Be Doubled, Says NTSC Scientist (P) -A biology fessor at North Texas State College says bass catches in depleted Texas lakes can be increased 200 to 300 per cent. Dr. J. K.

G. Silvey, professor of biology, tells small lake owners: "Restock your pond every two or three years with little bass if you want to be assured of continued bass fishing." Silvey has been studying the habits of fish in small Texas lakes for 10 years. has conducted his research at Lake Ferndale near Pittsburgh, Lake Crockett near Crockett, Lake Greenbriar, Lake Hitts and Lake Park, all near Tyler, and private lakes in the Dallas and Denton areas. He works with a staff of advanced and graduate students at NTSC. Dr.

Silvey says: Like Cultivated Field "A small Texas lake is like a small cultivated field. When you have a small field, you don't try to grow six or seven crops on it, but concentrate on one. You clear out the weeds that would hurt the and fertilize the field in crop order to have a larger harvest. "In a lake, weed out as many of the- undesirable fish posas sible so you'll have a good harvest of Texas' best game fish- the bass." What Students Learn Dr. Silvey and his students say they have learned that: The average small lake in Texas, for instance, is only good fishing for about three years.

Fish in Texas just won't live 12 or 15 years. Bottom feeders are the biggest enemies of bass. It is a mistake to stock black bass and bluegill together. Early each summer, Dr. Silvey and students in biology 545 at NASC assemble in Denton for their biggest trip into East Texas.

They draw boats, motors and supplies from the college service center and are off for six weeks to -study and check the eastern Texas lakes. Check Fish Population Moving around the lake in steel, motor driven boats, crews of students weave from 6,000 to 8,000 feet of, gill nets among the lily pads and cat tails. They set out the nets in the afternoon. Early the next morning, they are drawn in and the fish counted. Size of the fish population in the lake is estimated.

It is then possible "to determine the condition of the lake and which fish need to be replenished or removed. "First the undesirable fish must be removed," Silvey says, "and the lake fertilized naturally." He doesn't recommend the use of artificial fertilizer which increase plant growth in the lake "Commercial fertilizers keep everything alive," he says, "and increase the rough fish as well as the game fish you are trying to keep." Fertilizing Lake So the lake is fertilized in this manner! During the summer the lake is drained off, This is not. harmful to the lake itself. In explaining this, Silvey says, "we have found that we are able to reduce the water volumn of the lake only about fifty per cent." As edges of the lake begin to show and vegetation shoots up in the mud flats, members of group immobilize a part of the fish. This merely means reducing the fish population, either through organic processes or use of an electric device which stuns the fish.

Study has disclosed that bass are not too easily thinned out by this process. Restock in Fall When the fall rains come, the lake is restocked with bass and if possible with golden shiners, which will not destroy black bass eggs and spawn. The results are amazing. "We hav found, "Silvey smiles "that increases in catches will run 20 to 300 per cent in a year." Silvey is careful to explain that the lake will have to be stocked again from time to time. The black bass just don't live very long in Texas, and its eggs and fall prey to many other young fish.

"The life expectancy of our game fish is quite short," Silvey states, "no more than three or four years on the average." Dr. Silvey and his students work on a year-around basis. It was through a twelve month survey that Charles Estes, graduate student, determined the spawning habits of the bluegill, one of our bream. Taking a as his thesis problem the spawning hibits of some 715 bluegill, he discovered that they lay eggs not once or twice, but five times each summer in warm shallow water.

19 (AP)Children who recover from polio, even if crippled, show no mental damage and only slight personality changes. This result of several years study of Minnesota child polio victims was reported to the American Psychological Association today by Dr. Dale B. Harris, Institute of Child Welfare, University of Minnesota. He said that after 'these children had returned from hospitals, the parents of two-thirds of them said the youngsters were restless, irritable, impulsive and given to early fatigue.

But two years later, these same children when studied at school: appeared to have recovered from all these distressing signs. Dr. Harris said there was no difference in after-effects, except for crippling, no matter what type of polio a child had. 1 Nor any difference due to prolonged CHESTER GOULD KNEW HE DIDN'T WANT PROFESSOR-I SAW HIM LEAVE.

The cleanup and rehabilitation programs were so efficient not a single high-water victim went hungry or.

homeless. So to most residents the May flood is just a bad memory. But city fathers have taken to heart the lessons learned, and a program is going forward rapidly to keep the Clear Fork of the Trinity henceforth in captivity. And a disaster committee has been set up to guide rescue and relief operations in event of any future calamity. Wide Area Flooded 17 following a 10 inch rain.

Thirteen persons lost their lives and property damage was estimated at from $5,000,000 to $25,000,000. About 10 square miles of Fort Worth were flooded. It was a sparsely settled lowlands district, an industrial section and an area of modest and substantial homes. "Less than five per cent of our business establishments, less than five per cent of our municipal area and less than five per cent of our citizens were affected by The Trinity burst through levees in seven places and smaller streams went out of banks May the flood," Web Maddox, Chamber of Commerce president, said. Record Relief Task Edward R.

Neill, executive secretary of the Tarrant County Red Cross Chapter, said 3,800 families appealed for aid. $1,700,000 has been spent so far," Neill said. "It's the largest operation in one city and county in a Red Cross history," he added. James T. Nicholson of Washington, general manager of the Red Cross, said the organization is spending more in Worth alone than the $1,250,000 which all of Texas contributed to the Red Cross last year.

Newspaper Raises Fund In addition to Red Cross money, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram has raised a fund of more than 000, which was used for types of rehabilitation the Red Cross does TODAY AND TUESDAY SAY YOULL ME MEET Starts Wednesday Another Big Show THUNDERING YOUR STAMPeDE ROD CAMERON GALE STORM JOHNNY MACK BROWN DON not handle. Donations for this fund came from Fort Worth business firms and, residents, and contributions were received from other parts of Texas and many states. The Red Cross is repairing and rebuilding homes and replacing furniture and household goodsexcept luxury items. "We even replace electric refrigerators in cases where the need for them is sharpened by children in a family," said Neill. "However, most electric refrigerators damaged have been repairable." Benbrook Dam, 10 miles southwest of Fort Worth on the Clear Fork of the Trinity, will be rushed to completion by 1951.

The dam will cost about $16,520,000. Dam Would Have Helped "Had Benbrook Dam been completed, I believe there would have been no flood damage in Fort Worth," C. F. Swenson, U. S.

engineer in the Fort Worth area office, said. "The amount of water to reach Fort Worth would have been reduced about one third." The entire Trinity program has been worked on for two years and embraces flood control, soil conservation and canalization. Had this program been completing ed one and one-half or two years ago, the entire flood picture in all areas between the headwaters of the stream and the Gulf would have been altered and many millions of dollars saved, according to the Army engineers. Repair All Levees Broken levees have all been repaired and Army engineers are now drafting final plans for strengthening Trinity and deepening the river's channel. On recommendation of the Army engineers, Congress authorized $500,000 in 1945 for the preparation of these plans.

After the May flood, the money was appropriated. The city government of Fort Worth is extending drainage systems and storm sewers in the lowlands and in any future flood, the city water plant, which was inundated in May, will be well protected.

"We're going to do these things," said Amon Carter, Fort Worth publisher and chairman of the Citizens 1 Flood Control Committee. "We're going to raise the money, whatever is necessary. I am not.

in favor of getting up and saying somebody has got to help us. Let's get in and help ourselves and get the thing going." RFC Helps Business Aid to businesses which suffered in the flood was extended by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The REC set up a speedy emergency loan approval procedure and business men applied for more than $1,000,000 in RFC loans. City Manager W. 0.

Jones heads Fort Worth's new disaster committee, which will be put into action in the event of a new flood. The Red Cross would work with the committee. Here are the committee's divisions: Committee Divisions 1. Administrative, which would handle personnel and supply procurement, communications, and would set up an information center at the city hall. The Salvation Army is included in this division.

2. Police. This division would handle emergency warnings and rescue work. It would be in charge of all officers, members of U. S.

armed services and veteran groups. 3. Fire. Its responsibility would include rescue assistance, fire fighting, sanitary' sewers, buildinspections. 4.

Health and welfare. Members of the State Health Department, the Tarrant County Medical Society and the Tarrant County Osteopathic Association would work in this department. 5. Water.
