University has completed
a study which holds great

Production of fish in a

2. An additional source

With the Langeton trio

Schwartz and Glen

These projects will be
funded with state and
federal dollars, with the
latter being the greater
portion.
But, the federal mat-

RECOMMISSIONED
Navy Seaman Recruit
Troy C. Maxwell, son of
Claude S. and Gertrude
M. Maxwell of Route i,
Perkins, Oklahoma, is a
crewmember aboard the
battleship USS Iowa,
which was recently
recommissioned in
ceremonies at Ingalls
Shipbuilding, Pascagoula,
Miss.
The present Iowa is the
fourth ship to be named
for the midwestern state.
The first was retired in
1882. The second Iowa
was commissioned in
1897. In 1898, it was
2.42 cents per gallon
gasoline tax increase. The
passage of that legislation
will generate sufficient
funds for us to project a
contruction program of
more than $300 million
for the coming year,
although even more
federal dollars are
available than we will be
able to claim.
I must agree with the
Governor when he said
this is one instance when
Oklahomans will see as
quickly as possible the
results of their tax dollars
at work. In supporting
the fuel tax increase, I
believed most of the
citizens of our state
wanted the services we
are now able to provide
with the additional
funds--rehabilitation of
dilapidated state bridges
and roads, and construc-
tion of new ones. I still
believe that is true.
Because of the addi-
tional funds now
available, an addition to
the construction projects
programmed for Payne
County projects for June
letting include:
--an industrial road sur-
facing west of Perkins on
Knipe Street;
--widening and resurfac-
ing of State Highway 33
south of Stillwater bet-
ween US 177 north and
US 177 south;
--street signals at the in-
tersection of State
Highway 51 and Jardot
Road in Stillwater;
Other projects of in-
terest to Payne/Lincoln
Counties:
--the widening and
reconstruction of
Highway 33 west of
Cushing is approximately
30 days fTOm right,)f-way
acquisition and approx-
imately 90 days from field
activities.
--the industrial access
road to Fleetwood In-
dustries in Cushing is 62
percent completed.
--traffic signal work at
the intersection of
Highway 18 and Linwood
Ave. in Cushing is about
15 percent completed
{bids were opened
January 27, 1984).
--the resurfacing of 6.7
miles of Western Avenue
in Stillwater was started
March 6, 1984. Bids were
let at $658,846{bids were
opened November 22,
1983).
--bids on the Coyle Road
project in southeast
Payne County were open-
ed in September of last
year. The project is
estimated at $538,626.
Work on the project was
ordered in April, and will
soon begin.
--funds for the Lone
Chimney Road bridge
north of Glencoe have
been approved by the
Transportation Commis-
sion and work on the
bridge is pending county
activity.
None of these projects,
nor those to come in the
next year, would likely
have been possible
without the fuel tax in-
crease and the support
that increase by
citizens of our district. I
think it is fair to say that
SENIOR CITIZEN

Forty-nine attended pot
luck dinner Wednesday.
Quite a lot of work was
done on Maybelle White's
quilt. It has different
kinds of birds on it and
they are solid embroidery.
We wish to extend our
condolence to the
relatives of Mrs. Mark
Bain.
As usual we had a nice
crowd for Monday night

Doris Mansfield were
hostesses.
Out-of-state visitors
were David Ham,
Houston, Texas; Jane
Laudenback, Portland,
Oregon; Eddie and Nita

It was so nice to see Mr.

Cowger back after being
away several months due
to Mr. Cowger's health.
There will be Gospel

Gebhart, assisted by
OSU's O. Eugene
Maughan and the
Oklahoma Cooperative
State Fishery Research
Unit, results proved that
this enterprise is prac-
tical, profitable and
feasible.
While several methods
of raising fish are known,
cage culture is a practical
and inexpensive one.
Many water bodies can be
utilized such as canals,
pits, swamps, lakes, farm
ponds, and reservoirs.
The fish crop can be easi-
ly and completely
harvested by removing
the cages from the water.
The overall operation is
relatively inexpensive if
an existing body of water
is used. Also home con-
structed cages are less ex-
pensive than purchased
ones.
Recently, Langston
conducted a fish sale--
cage raised rainbow trout
which sold foe $2 a pound
not dressed:,' These~ fish
had been placed in cages
in a lake last fall when
they were a few inches in
size. Over a six months'
period they grew in size to
three-quarter pound
average. Baked or [Tied,
the rainbows had a
delicious, fresh flavor.
These fish were fed a
protein diet. Since caged
fish cannot forage for
food in the pond, the mat-
ter of feed is especially
important.
Water survival
temperature for rainbow
trout must be below 70
degrees. The exceedingly
cold winter of 1983-84
was, no doubt, a plus for
the growth and develop-
ment of these fsh.
