Farming R ight
THE CHEROKEEAN OF RUSK, TEXAS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11,1982-PAGE THREE
with Jack White
1
By JACK L.WHITE
lExtemioa Agent (AG)
Cherokee County
Every pond in Cherokee
County should have some
type of fish stocked in it.
Actually it would be im-
proper to be that dogmatic.
I^ost assuredly there are
ponds and situations which
do not warrant a fish
stocking program.
However, the vast majority
of farm ponds are suitable
for stocking, and failure to
do so is robbing the land
occupants of recreational
opportunities, as well as
the potential to provide
food for the table.
There appear to be three
groups of people concer-
ning fish production. The
first group desires a
situation that provides
minimal input and upkeep,
and yet provides an oppor-
tunity for occasional sport
fishing.
The second group sees fish
production as an excellent
source of food, a hobby, or
seeks more frequent oc-
casions of sport fishing.
The final group see fish
production as a viable
agricultural enterprise and
enter into the commercial
production of finger lings or
food fish. This last group
requires extensive plan-
ning, investment, and
management and therefore
will not be covered here.
More information is
available at the County Ex-
tension Office.
For the sake of sim-
plicity, assume the pond
exists and is suitable for
fish stockage. The first step
is to decide when to stock,
what to stock, and how
many to stock.
Late fall, winter and
early spring lire good times
for stocking fish. Summer
stockings should be
avoided because high tem-
perature and low oxygen in
hot weather increase the
possibility of disease loss.
The question of what to
stock is to some extent
determined by pond size.
Ponds of one acre or less
should be stocked only with
catfish. Ponds with more
than an acre can be stocked
with bass, bluegills,catfish
or some combination of
these.
The last question of how
many fish to stock depends
on several factors; what
combination of fish are
being stocked, how large
the fingerlings are, is the
pond to be fertilized, will
the fish be fed and how of-
ten, is the water muddy or
clear, and what the pH of
the water is. Fortunately,
the pond owner can move
step by step through these
factors and derive the
correct number of fish to
stock for his particular
situation.
There are some fish that
should never be stocked in
farm ponds. These include
mudcats, yellow catfish or
flatheads, buffalo, carp,
green sunfish, and crappie.
Winter feeding can be an
excellent management tool
for pondowners. Catfish on
a winter feeding program
do not lose weight, and en-
ter spring growing season
in a stronger healthier con-
dition. The fish are less
susceptible to stress and
more resistant to parasite
and disease outbreaks.
Though a floating ration
may still be used, catfish
hestitate to surface for
floating pellets during cold
weather. A better alter-
native appears to be a
sinking ration fed every
other day or twice weekly
at the rate of one percent of
total fish weight per
feeding.
This points up the need
for pondowners to keep
records of fish stocked,
material fed, fish har-
vested, and any conditions
that might reduce the
amount of fish present in
the pond.
Stocking fish in the pond
waters in Cherokee County
can certainly enhance the
value of the pond, the
property, and certainly can
improve the quality of life
for the pondowner in Eást
Texas.

Eating Hints For
The Cancer Patients
Cancer patients, it's im-
portant to eat well.
Research is showing that
cancer patients who eat
well - especially a diet high
in protein and calories - are
better able to withstand the
side effects of therapy.
A balanced diet can help
maintain your strength and
prevent body tissues from
breaking down. It also can
help rebuild the normal
tissues that may be affec-
ted by the treatments.

Cancer patients with
these eating habits have
fewer infections, too.
In some cases, all this is
easier said than done.
Many people with cancer
experience difficulty
eating.
But remember to give
food a chance.
Take advantage of the
times you feel good by
eating a variety of foods.
When you just aren't
hungry, try a milk shake or
frozen yogurt.
Eat small meals frequen-
tly, and keep nutritious
snack foods handy.
Eat food you love during
your non-hungry periods.
Add interest to your
meals with garnishes,
colorful plates, napkins or
placemats. Little extra
touches make a big dif-
ference to the person with a
poor appetite.
