TOUGH WINTER, IS DANGEROUS TO FISH POPULATION Illinois' toughest winter in more than a decade is proving dangerous to the fish population of lakes and farm ponds in the northern third of the state, it was revealed here today by Director Glen D. Palmer. The prolonged cold wave which began in January has frozen ice to a thickness of more than a foot on many impoundments. Further aggravating the injurious conditions was from 5 to 10 inches of crusted snow on most of the bodies of water. Director Palmer,' pointing out that heavy snow crust curtains out sunlight and shuts off the manufacture of oxygen in the water, said that department fisheries biologists have been making regular inspections of each department lake in their districts and as many other impoundments as there was time. . "It's a long and difficult, procedure,'/ Palmer explained. "Our men work in zero temperatures on the ice, sometimes for hours, taking temperatures and water samples, and then spend another hour in the back of their station wagons, where it's mighty cold, testing the water samples." Where possible, on small lakes and where the ice is strong, sweeping off the snow can alleviate the danger. On the larger lakes, the accepted method of treatment is to move in a large portable pump and to pump water out of the lake itself on top of the snow and ice. This relatively warm water melts the snow. City fire departments often cooperate by loaning the use of one of their pumpers. Many farmers save small gasoline pumps which would be adequate for use on their one-acre ponds.
