EIGHTY-EIGHTH YEAR
The JFAffiHffiD Recorder
FAIRFIELD, FREESTONE COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JULY f, 1»m
By VAUDIENR K, BOYD
Summer is here—hot and dry And
from reports this is not a local con-
dition only The scorched, wilted
grasses and plants are cause for
great concern of everyone as the
arid conditions continue Surely the
life-giving rains will come soon.

Political interest and tensions are
mounting as time draws near for
the Republican Convention in San
Francisco and the Democratic Con-
vention in Atlantic City. Of course,
we on the homo front will know
only whet wo see on TV and read
in the papers—that will bo plenty,
but yet not half of what transpires
behind the scenes. We fool anew
the importance of responsible rep-
resentation in key positions—those
with spiritual guidance.

I have received several cards for
my collection since last writing. One
from a childhood friend, Mrs. Jay
Freeman of Fort Worth, who, with
her son. daughter and daughter's
friend were spending two weeks in
Jamaica, one from Lucille and Hugh
Bert Steward from Waterton Lakes
National Park. Canada; one from

Stocking Farm Ponds Rites Monday
COLLEGE STATION - A question
asked by many people every day is,
“What kind of fish shall I put in
my pond?”
ing and spawning seasons are short-
er and more favorable for bass-blue-
gill combinations.
A female bluegill can spawn
“Stock your pond with whatever j many as four times during a single
kind or kinds you like to catch,
or kinds you like to
says Wallace G. Klussman, Exten-
sion wildlife conservation specialist,
Texas A&M University. “If you are
a cat/isherman only, then there is no
reason to stock other species; the
same goes for bass or sunfish. If
you want all kinds, then bass, chan-
nel catfish and redear sunfish are
compatible.”
Evidence indicates that it is not
necessary to stock a forage fish along
with largemouth bass, explains Kluss-
mann. Many sources still recommend
stocking a sunfish such as the bluegill
along with bass. These cover large
sections of the country including
states north of Texas where the grow-

season in Texas, notes the specialist.
J The result is thousands of small blue-
gills that never reach edible size.
Another factor contributing to the
bluegill delimma is that bluegills are
not the "ice cream” in any fish’s
diet. Bass prefer feeding on their
own kind and other species rather
than on bluegills, says Klussmann.
Channel catfish are scavengers and
eat few bluegills.
If sunfish are desired, the most
suitable species is the redear since it
spawns only once a year and thereby
lengthens the time before overcrowd-
ing occurs, says the specialist.
Crappie or white perch should not
be stocked in ponds having less than
five to 10 surface acres because,
like bluegills, they will overpopulate
a small pond in one or two years.
A pond should always be stocked
NUMBER 43
Death claimed Leonardous Howell
Childs, 03, at Freestone County Hos-
pital early Sunday morning, July 5,
following an illness of two weeks.
Funeral services were held from the
First Baptist Church Monday after-
noon at 4 o'clock, with the Rev.
James Bishop, pastor, and the Rev
H. L. McKissack of Teague officiat-
ing.
Interment followed at Fairfield
cemetery under the direction of
Capps Funeral Home
Mr. Childs was born in Fairfield
March 21, 1871, son of Mr. and Mrs.
James Lafayette Childs, members
of early Freestone county families.
His uncle fought with the Confeder-
ate Army at Shiloh and his father,
being too young for the army, was a
dispatch courier for Gen. Robert E.
Lee's army and helped relay the final
message of the war.
The Rev. McKissack, a friend of
many years, used a passage from
II Samuel: 3-38, "A great man has
fallen." as the basis for his brief
