Uncle Dan cites a Georgia man building a backward running watch and a Rhode Island professor creating a 100 foot soap bubble as examples of odd innovation. He jokes about the ideas while lamenting real issues like a Wyoming man sentenced to 30 days for beating his wife with a T-bone steak and comments on meat prices.
Nearly one million Chinook salmon and over 100000 steelhead trout were estimated to have passed the Brownlee and Oxbow dams in a 112 month period from July 1, 1957, to June 29, 1958. The two year cooperative study by Oregon Idaho fisheries agencies US Fish and Wildlife Service and Idaho Power assessed timing size and numbers of downstream migrations. Objectives included migrations timing and dispersal in key tributaries to mitigate fish losses. Idaho upland game seasons were favorable last year.
Data from hunter questionnaires indicate a strong fall harvest for migratory waterfowl and cottontail rabbits. The projected totals break down into pheasants 700,500. doves 144,200. forest grouse 166,000. ducks 552,500, with cottontail rabbits making up the remainder.
The article notes harvest trends for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in central Idaho and reports 255 hunters produced 37 rams last year. It explains regulations reducing harvest by age and curl, with 40 hunters in controlled hunts and 215 in general trophy hunts. It also discusses trout handling, noting released fish can survive if hooks are swallowed but quickly released, and warns bait fishing can be fatal to fish. Phone your news to No. 8.
The article notes grasshoppers and other insects cause billions in crop losses annually and highlights Standard's research into better insecticides. Since 1907 they claim over 650 products for plant disease and insect issues from home to farm use, with last year saving food to feed over a million people.
