HOW TO TRAP THEM
Muskrots Ruin Ponds
BY CHARLES COVELL
Outdoor Editor

1t wasn't so many years ago
that a young fellow could en-
JOY the outdoors and make
some money, too, running a
winter trap line.
Back when raccoon coats and
blazers rather than narrow
lapelS and tapered trousers
spelled Ivy League, furs of all
sorts brought fair prices.
Now with the competition
from modern fur ranchers,
synthetic fabrics and the prime
pelts brought down from Can
ada and Alaska, Virginia or
Maryland-caught fox, skunk,
'possum or raccoon skins aren't
worth a dime.
Fred Brown, Fairfax County
game warden, said the other
day that the only animals
worth trapping are beaver,
which brings about Sc, mink,
although it takes a mighty good
one to net $5 or Sc, and musk
rat, worth about 80 cents.
Muskrats and Mink Plentiful
There are quite a few beaver
in Virginia now, he added, and
both muskrats and mink are
plentiful, but there are few
trappers. Fairfax still has some,
mostly youngsters trying to
make pin money, but the only
major operators are in the big
tidewater marshes.
On the other hand, if one
is fortunate enough to own a
farm pond, of which there are
many in nearby Maryland and
Virginia, it might be well to
give muskrat trapping a second
look. MuSkrats can do con-
siderable damage to a pond
with their burrowing and
trapping would eliminate a
nuisance as well as yield a
little revenue.
James w. Eng!e, jr., of
Swoope, Va, district biologist
for the Virginia Game Com
mission, has a very interesting
article along this line in the
last issue of Virginia Wildlife.
In a recent letter, he also Of
fered some pertinent advice on
getting rid of another farm
pond nuisance, turtles.
Appear Unexpectedly
Engle points out that though
normally thought of as in
habitantS of swamps and
marshes, muskrats can become
adapted to life in creek banks
and ponds. They also have
way of showing up in the most
unexpected places.
Breeding starts in early
spring and, depending on the
length of the summer, they
have up to four litters Of kits.
Thus, a population of two in
the spring may be 10 or is
by fall.
Along with digging roots for
food, they are very active in
digging burrows and in a pond
that is where the trouble starts.
A well-built farm pond dam
rises to four feet above the
water line. The fill material is
usually clay or loan. If the
steep banks are close to the
waters edge, it is in the dam
that the muskrats start bur-
rowing.

are started below the new lower
waterline and then the dam
leaks even more. In a short
time the pond is ruined.
In some ponds, welded fenc-
ing buried just below the
ground, extending two to three
feet below the water level and
one or two feet above the water
level, provides some protection.
But Engle believes that for ef-
ficiency, the fairly new trap
called the Conibear is the an
swer.
This trap works on a diff
ferent principle than catching
an animal by its foot. 1t has
two squares that are folded in
such a manner that the musk
rat passes through the squares.
In doing this, a trigger is
tripped and the animal is
caught around the middle and
killed.
Evening star., 1962-01-02
Thousands Saved

Engle says the trap is a
natural for setting over musk
rat burrows under water be-
cause it is almost impossible
for the animal to trip it with
out: being caught, something
that is lacking in ordinary
traps.
The biologist adds that
several thousand dollars were
saved at the Game Commis-
sion's Stevensville Fish Hatch
cry this year by use of these
traps.
State law provides for the
game warden to issue permits
to land owners to kill or have
killed muskrats doing damage
at any time, but trapping
throughout the State is legal
through March 10. In Mary
land, the season extends
through March 15.
How to Catch Turtles
AS for turtles, which can
decimate a farm ponds fish
population, Engle writes that
in Eastern Virginia, where
"snappers" sell for about -
cents per pound. "turtling" is
a regular means of making
money.
"The most common way
of catching turtles is to use
a. single, medium sized fish
hook on a cord eight to 10
feet long (such as chalk line)
which is tied to the base of

Nixon is perhaps in the tough
est situation. He must win over
Governor Pat Brown in the state
which Is seen to be the most
populous in the nation. and there
are more Democrats in that
state than Republicans.
Kennedy has two and a half
years left in his presidential
term. but whether he can get his
program enacted will probably
be determined in the next four
months. in the upcoming congress

receives a stiff setback in the

likely 10 achieve little in the next
two years. And that could cost

Washingtonians are marveling

unions have proposed the same
remedy. an immediate tax cut.
As July arrived this was being
con 5 dered by Administration
leaders. though no action had
been taken.
Another possible approach
would be enlarged federal spend
ing, which. in turn, would in
crease the deficit and the nation
al debt, which is now growing
beyond 800 billions. II is even
possible that spending will be
increased as taxes are cut That
