Oklahoma conservation commission urges license hike to boost revenue
The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission proposed raising hunting and fishing licenses to fund operations, with a projected $2.193 million extra for the department. The plan calls for adult licenses to rise from $3.25 to $6, the combined license from $6 to $11, and other increases for non-residents. The move follows cost-of-living rises since 1967 and a 44 percent rise in sportsmen since then, with costs such as vehicles, feed, and gasoline up sharply. The proposal was discussed after an evaluation showed a funding shortfall for ongoing programs.

Sector dikes Could Catch Runoff Water for Irrigation
Arland D. Schneider of the USDA Southwestern Great Plains Research Center says sector wedge shaped dikes in playas offer economical deep reservoirs for storm runoff to supplement irrigation. He notes a Lubbock County study where four playas were modified and one with a straight dike, with diked reservoirs storing more water at about half the building cost.
