State's Visiting
Fishermen Down
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —
Oklahoma’s streams and lakes
gained more support last year
from Sooners, but out-of-state
visitors just didn’t buy fishing
licenses like they did in 1964.
An audit of the Department of
Wildlife Conservation just com-
pleted by the office of the state
I Examiner and Inspector shows
293.326 resident fishing licenses
sold in 1965 compared with 24,
| 500 fewer sold in 1964.
Non-resident fish license sales
dropped from 52,531 in 1964 to
47,683 last year.

as wells go dry.
Nelson says farmers and
large cities are becoming
very conscious of filing for
water rights but many small
cities have failed to file.
Priority in water rights is
similar to staking a claim in
the Oklahoma land runs. The
rights go to the person who
first staked and proved his
claim, both for surface and
ground water.
For example, an applicant
for irrigation water has two
years from date of filing his
claim to put the water to
beneficial use and an addition-
al five years to complete the
system.
The board cites the follow-
ing hypothetical case in es-
tablishing priority for surface
water:
Let us assume there are
four farmers, A, B, C and D,
in a given area.
Farmer A in 1944 applies
for a water right and pro-
ceeds to put the water to

use cards pertaining to the
amount of water taken from
the Lake Lawtonka and Lake
Ellsworth watersheds to main-
tain the water rights.
(Water rights on Deep Red
Run and West Cache Creek
watersheds southwest of Law-
ton have been allocated to
Lawton and other area com-
munities, but the water has
not been impounded for mu-
nicipal use.)
Information on the cards
will be key-punched and fed
into a computer operated by
the state department of edu-
cation. After surveys are
completed, the data will be
used to measure surface and
ground water use and fore-
cast danger signals due to
over-consumption.
Forrest Nelson. assistant di-
rector for the water board,
points to wells in the Texas
Panhandle as an example of
what can happen when water
is pumped out faster than in-
soak. The water table has
fallen, and fanners are forc-
ed to drill deeper and deeper
• By HARRY CULVER
AKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) —
• A state employe stands
at the console of a pastel blue
and white computer and
punches a button.
Lights flash, reels of tape
turn, and in seconds a high
speed electric typewriter
prints this information:
“Ground water in Basin A
in X County has 1 million acre
feet of water. The water ta-
ble is receding at three inch-
es per year. Water is being
pumped out at the rate of
100,000 acre feet per year. In-
soak is 90,000 acre feet per
' year ” . .
The information is a red
flag to the Oklahoma Water
Resources Board. It means
that unless pumping is reduc-
ed, the water will be “mined
out,” and all will suffer.
The above account of the
computer has not happened
yet in Oklahoma. But it will
become possible when a wa-
ter survey, now under way, is
I completed.
Water use survey cards are
being mailed at this time to
I water right applicants to de-
I termine future use.
Failure to answer the ques;
I tions, the board warns, could
I mean that the board would
I assume the water was no
I longer being put to beneficial
I use and would be considered
I to again be public property.
(The City of Lawton will
I be required to return water

his farm. In 1950. Farmer B.
and in 1952 Farmer C join
their neighbor by applying for
water rights and putting the
water to beneficial use.
Now, Farmer D began irri-
gating in 1944, when Farmer
A did. and had used the wa-
ter continuously but had fail-
ed to apply for a water right.
Then in 1954, a construction
agency of the federal govern-
ment asks that the stream be I
adjudicated to find out how I
much unappropriated water
there is in the watershed, an-
ticipating construction of a
larger dam.
In the adjudication that fol-
lows. water rights of Farm-
ers A, B and C are recogniz-
ed. Although Farmer D had
put the water to beneficial
use he had no way to prove
the 10 years priority, so he
loses his rights to use the wa-
