Dear Roy:

The problem of frogs continues to show up in the literature and the number
of possible causes grows.  You mentioned electricity as a possible cause.  

I have time for only a few words on this now but will write more later.
The dairy farmers have noticed frog numbers connected to their stray
voltage problems.  A published report from Michigan about effects in dog
kennels and electricity supports the possibility that electricity in the
ground can cause similar deformities in pups as in frogs as well as reduce
or stop the reproduction of the dogs.  The scientists who did the
investigation also found no insects around the dog kennel, no fish in a
near by stream, no mice or rats around the kennel, and similar deformities
in squirrels in the vicinity.  On dairy farms electricity does affect the
reproduction of cows and cats usually die or leave the farm.  As possible 
effects of electricity have been studied, the source of electricity which
has not been considered is that which is in the ground from the
distribution system.  Water appears to be a major carrier of the current in
the ground.  Where do the frogs that are known to be affected most live?

I think there is sufficient evidence to place electromagnetic energy as a
suspect in the frog problem.

Duane
