2 ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, February 12, 2009
By NEIL SPERRY
Dear Neil: Last year,
and again over the winter,
we have had small red ants
that were so active around
our flowers and vegetables
that they have stunted them
for several weeks. Sevin dust
seems to stop them for a few
days, but they pop up else-
where and are just as dam-
aging. What should we use?
There are almost as many
ant controls as there are
types of ants. It always helps
to have the proper identifi-
cation before making recom-
mendations. However, you
may have fire ant mounds.
The ants are below ground
and sedentary much of the
winter, but warm, sunny
days will generate a lot of
activity, particularly when
you accidentally disturb
their mounds. You can use
the long-term fire ant baits
around the perimeter of
your garden. There are oth-
er contact insecticides, both
organic and inorganic, that
can be applied within an ex-
isting garden to eliminate
mounds for a short time, but
WISE NOTES
By TANYA DAVIS
Wise Co. Extension Agent
It’s easy to get fat in Amer-
ica. Every day we are con-
fronted with an abundance
of delicious food that is easily
accessible not only in restau-
rants and gas stations, but
also via drive-thru and home
delivery. That’s one reason
why the average American
gains one to two pounds a
year, the equivalent of eating
only 100 to 200 extra daily
calories, such as a few extra
cookies, a second handful of
chips or an extra helping at
lunch.
Following are three weight
management strategies from
the American College of
Sports Medicine that can help
minimize fat gain and opti-
mize desired fat loss without
feeling denied or deprived of
enjoyable food.
■ Strategy No. 1 – Boost
your calcium intake. Eating
three to four servings of cal-
cium-rich low fat dairy foods
per day contributes to the loss
of more fat and less muscle
compared to dieters who ate
less dairy.

follow the label directions
carefully.
Dear Neil: We had about
10 percent as heavy a pecan
crop this past fall as last
year. And, those that did
form were rotted in their
shells. They were covered
with black spots, and they
had meats that had a very
bitter taste. We threw all of
them away. What can we do
to avoid such problems this
year?
First, it is absolutely nor-
mal for a pecan tree to bear
heavily one year and then
very lightly the following
year (maybe even no pe-
cans at all). That’s called
“alternate bearing,” and it’s
typical of all nut-producing
trees, even including oaks.
You can nurture the trees
to get somewhat heavier
yields, but this is still going
to be an issue you have to
learn to live with. As for the
problems you encountered,
it sounds like you had pecan
scab (black husks and pre-
mature drop), bitter kernels
(pecan weevils) and rotted
kernels (probably hickory
shuckworm damage). Find
the Homeowner Fruit and
Pecan Spray Schedule on-
line from Texas A&M, and
follow its suggested dates.
Dear Neil: I am the di-
rector of a food pantry, and
we’re trying to grow our own
vegetables to some degree.
FOR CONSUMERS
■ Strategy No. 2 – Eat
breakfast. Although skipping
breakfast may seem like a
good way to eliminate calories,
breakfast skippers tend to be
fatter than breakfast eaters.
When people eat a larger-
than-normal breakfast, they
end up eating almost 100
fewer calories by the end of

Unfortunately, I have john-
songrass and nut grass in
the garden. Can I use Round
Up to kill it? Does it have any
lasting effect in the soil that
might be of harm to people?
Round Up and other
glyphosate herbicides are
effective only when they are
sprayed on actively growing
grass tissues. They do not
leave any residue in the soil.
While that’s a good thing for
starters, it does mean that
you can’t use them until the
weedy grasses are growing
vigorously in the spring and
summer. By then, you would
need to have your vegetables
planted and growing. You
should probably consider de-
veloping a new garden plot
in a nearby area that does
not have existing grasses.
That would give you produce
for this year, plus it would
buy you time to eliminate
the johnsongrass this spring
and summer. As for the nut-
sedge, the answer is about
the same, but the products
are different. In spite of the
fact that many people call it
“nutgrass,” it’s really a sedge
(triangular stems). Grass
killers, Round Up included,
won’t help much with it. You
need to use Image or Man-
age this summer. Read and
follow label directions if you
want really good control.
Dear Neil: The neighbors
say I have Japanese hol-
lies. They’re very spiny, and
the day, an amount that can
curb creeping obesity.
■ Strategy No. 3 – Eat
more fiber and whole grain
foods. Fiber rich foods are
satiating (the point that you
feel full and choose to stop
eating). They also tend to be
bulky, which in turn helps

4 ALL AROUND WISE, Decatur, Texas, Thursday, February 12, 2009

By GARY CLAYTON
Wise County Extension Agent
Late winter is the time to prune fruit and nut trees. The
most rapid wound healing occurs in spring and early summer.
Therefore, pruning cuts made now with clean, sharp pruning
tools will heal rapidly with the onset of spring growth.
I see more fruit trees mispruned, or not pruned at all, than
almost any other plant. Fruit trees need good pruning in or-
der to build strong branch structure and produce good crops
of quality fruit. Your county Extension office has free infor-
mation on proper pruning for various fruit and nut tree spe-
cies.
Check your fruit trees for scale insects. With the foliage off
of the plant, it is much easier to detect and control scale dur-
ing the late dormant season. Make sure and apply oil sprays
before growth begins in early spring.
Plant fruit and nut trees as soon as possible to give them
lots of time to settle in and start to establish a root system

By CLAIRE CURRY
It’s always fun to take a
drive through the country-
side. It’s even better when
you have time to stop and
look at all the birds. Often,
you can see birds that would
not normally visit your feed-
ers or that might be too shy
to approach on foot. Mom,
our friend, Judy, and I did
this just a few weeks ago
and enjoyed a wide variety of
winter birds.
We started out around 10
a.m. on a cold, but sunny
day. Sparrows were flying
up as we drove slowly along.
White-crowned and Harris’s
Sparrows perched in brush
alongside the roads.
Fence lines are always a
good spot to look for birds for
two reasons. First, the fence
provides a convenient perch
for the bird, allowing you to
get a good look at it instead
of it landing in the grass.
Second, birds poop along the
fence regularly and create a
brushy fencerow habitat that
attracts more birds.
Near a pond, we saw an
Eastern Phoebe sitting on a
branch over the water. These
small flycatchers are the only
flycatcher that we have here
during the winter, but they
do stay to breed.
This is not the case for many
of the sparrows around; all
but a few depart for the north
in the summer. The only one
we saw that does is the Field
Sparrow. Several were feed-
ing in grass along with Sa-
vannah Sparrows, Vesper
Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos
(a type of sparrow, despite
their dapper gray and white
plumage), and the aforemen-
tioned White-crowned and
Harris’s Sparrows.
Meadowlarks were every-
where. We discussed whether
they were Eastern or West-
ern, but never did decide. The
two species are notoriously
difficult to identify. Eastern
is usually more common here
and stays year-round, while
Westerns are only winter
visitors.
The best way to distinguish
the two is by their vocaliza-
tions. Eastern has a clear,
whistled song, while West-
ern’s clear, whistled song
ends in a cascade of bubbling
notes. Call notes also differ:
Eastern is “drrzt” or a series
of “drrzt” notes; Western says
“quip.” We didn’t identify our
meadowlarks because none
of them were talking that
day.
We saw lots of blackbirds
in plowed fields and with the
cows. Now, when you first see
a flock of blackbirds swirl-
ing over the fields among the
cows, they all look the same.
Once they settle down, you
can start to see the different
species.
Brown-headed Cowbirds
are a very common species.
Males have black bodies with
shiny brown heads, while
females are dull brown all
over. Both are chunky with
conical beaks. Red-winged
Blackbirds are quite familiar

to most with males having a
red patch (edged with yellow;
this is not always visible)
at the bend of the wing. Fe-
males can be a bit more con-
fusing; they look like large
dark streaky sparrows with
very sharp beaks.
The final species we saw
that day was Brewer’s Black-
birds. They are one of my fa-
vorites. They are like dainty
grackles. Males sport shiny
blue-black plumage and a
yellow eye. Their beak is thin
compared to a grackle or the
other blackbirds. Females are
dapper gray-brown, some-
what like the female cowbird
but with a slender beak.
The big highlights of our
day were the hawks. First,
a cheeky Northern Harrier
was dive-bombing an in-
nocent Turkey Vulture that
was perched in a tree. Next,
we saw a beautiful Cooper’s
Hawk perching in a wooded
patch. It sat there for sev-
eral minutes, allowing us to
admire its fierce red eyes,
bright yellow feet and the
crisp striping in its wings
and tail as it stretched. Too
soon, it flew away.
Later in the morning, we
began to notice how many
Red-tailed Hawks were out.
We stopped at a lake to scan
for ducks. There were no
ducks, but an Eared Grebe
caught our attention, way off
in the distance. Soon we were
admiring the many Red-
tailed Hawks. One, however,
seemed a little different.

BIRDS AND
We began watching as this
mystery hawk started soar-
ing toward us. It was very
pale on both the wings and
tail compared to a Red-tailed
Hawk. Finally, we thought
it might be a Ferruginous
Hawk due to its extremely
pale plumage.
Of course, then it just had
to land out of sight on the
ground. We couldn’t see it
anymore, but Ferruginous
Hawks do like to perch on
the ground quite often.
We decided that it prob-
ably was that species, which
is a rare winter visitor in our
area, but we weren’t able to
get any photos. Luckily for
us, it reappeared later on the

By ADRIAN ARREDONDO
Wise Co. Extension Agent
Producing and rearing broilers and roasters for show is an
intricate process.
After birds reach 4 weeks of age, their ideal temperature
range is 60 to 75 degrees.
When winter temperatures permit, the house should be par-
tially opened to improve airflow and remove moisture. Supple-
mental heat may be needed when the outside temperature is
low.
In hot weather, fans or evaporative coolers are used to cool
birds more than 4 weeks old.
Lighting
Provide all-night light for broilers and roasters. Twenty-
four-hour lighting (natural and artificial) improves feathering
and increases weight, especially during the summer months.
Hang a 40-watt bulb at least 6 feet above the birds after re-
moving heat lamps.
Feeding
Optimum performance is dependent on proper nutrition.
The feed dealer should be informed of the type of feed required
at least two weeks before chicks arrive so that fresh feed can
be ordered. It is absolutely essential that birds receive a high-
quality poultry feed containing at least 20 percent protein.
Lower protein feeds will not do the job. Some exhibitors start

higher protein feed for two weeks, and switch to a broiler feed
for the remaining feeding period. Continued on page 7
Small amounts of broiler feed lightly moistened with cook-
ing oil and fed several times during the day will stimulate Custom Wrought Iron Gates and Fencing
older birds to eat more and increase growth. This supplemen-
tal feeding practice can be particularly helpful in hot weather
with birds more than 4 weeks of age.
Caution: Do not put out more moistened feed than the birds
can eat in 10 to 15 minutes, and do not moisten the feed until
feeding time. Be certain all birds can eat at the same time.
An adequate level of vitamins in the diet is required to pre-
vent leg weakness. Adequate vitamin intake can be ensured
and leg problems minimized by adding water soluble poultry
vitamins to drinking water at the manufacturer’s recommend-
ed level for the first seven days. Do not add vitamins past this
period. Continued high levels can create health problems. Gate Operators and Entry Systems

Kemp is majoring in business.
Phi Theta Kappa is an honor society
serving two-year colleges. Students
must rank in the top 20 percent of
their class to be invited into the orga-
nization.
Williams
earns degree
Brennan Kyle Williams of Decatur
received a master of science degree in
agriculture from Sam Houston State
University during the winter com-
mencement ceremony.
Claborn named to

major from Decatur, was named to
the president’s honor roll at Stephen
F. Austin State University for the fall
2008 semester. To make the list, stu-
dents must maintain a grade point av-
erage of 4.0 while enrolled in 12 more
hours.
Continued from 6
daily and scrubbed twice weekly.
Feed must be kept before birds at all
times if maximum growth is to be at- picking or cannibalism starts. Trim one-
tained. Tube feeders are recommended third of the upper beak with an electric
because they hold an ample
supply of feed, can be adjusted
easily as birds grow and are
less likely to cause bruises
than horizontal trough feeders.
Feeders and waterers should
be kept adjusted so that the
trough portion is level with the
back height of the birds.
Broilers and roasters re-
spond to attention. Walk among
birds and stir feed three to five ARREDONDO
times per day. This will provide
exercise and increase feed con-
sumption and growth.

given unless birds are sick or
stressed.
Chicks purchased from late
August to early November
should be vaccinated for fowl
pox by 14 days of age.
