Valley Scale Problem Shows Acuity Similar to Last Year
The brown soft scale in the Lower Rio Grande Valley remains as acute as last year due to insecticide drift from cotton control. Parasites are killed, ants hinder biocontrol, and scales reproduce rapidly, with females laying 1000 to 1500 eggs in 30 to 60 days. Trials with Sevin, Sevin and oil, or rotenone and oil are under way, plus emphasis on thorough spray coverage and ant control. Ann Marie Caudill and Judy Bodreaux arrived home after shopping in Corpus Christi and visiting Weslaco.

Heat May Kill Small Salt Fish Along Texas Coast
Terrance Leary of the Game and Fish Commission warns hot still water along the coast, especially Galveston, could cause a heavy die-off of small fish like menhaden this summer due to low oxygen. He notes Port Arthur hosts a menhaden plant, and the die-off would shock only sports fishermen but not alarm them.
