Did you ever go fishing and
wonder if there were really any
fish in the lake or pond or if
yrn were just going for a boat
ride with a fishing pole in your
hands. Here you can make sure
that fish are in the pond. Raise
your own in your farm pond, $ays
Chester C. Walker, County Agent.
You can obtain the fish by mating
application to the Texas Came
Fish, and Oyster Comraision by
July and likely be able to get the
fish by October or November.
Many pondowners are think of
producing fish by ponuds per acre
similar to producing beef to the
acre, and that is by fertilizing the
pond. It is not to late to start
fertilizing theportd this year, but
it is a good idea to get it done
bcfWe th? hot summer months.

live on the ttay plants and
•nlin&' in the pen4 which it com*
monly called "the bloom'* or the
the plankton. The production of
this plankton is-the first steptin the
production of food for the fish to
the acre. Fertilized ponds pro-
due? more than unfertilized. A
good fertilizer program should be
carried on each year, and three mon
ths is all the time needed fbr this
program. A good fertilizer to us*
j in the farm pond is a mixture of
400 pounds of cottonseed meal and
200 pounds of 20 percent super-
phosphate or a total of 600 pounds
for each acre or pond acre. Scat-
ter 300 pounds of this mixture out
in the pond not.to near the edge
and do this not later than early
April. Scatter 100 to 150 pounds
at 30 day intervals then your fer-
tilizing is done for the year. This
piactis will mean faster gorwing
fish and' more ponds per acre.
A well managed pond means a
pond that will furnish good fishing
and' lots of recreation. One of
the greatest troubles in a pond man
agement is oyerst9cking which will
mean more fish but smaller size
so try to fish the pond enough to
have 'fewer fish and ones of larger
size. Remember feed the fish m0
re food by fertilizing and, the re-
sult will be that the pond will fur-
nish more sport and more pounds
of fish to the acre.
