Fertilize fish pond
Baseball starts Tuesday
fi
This is the month to
fertilize ponds for Im-
proved, low cost fishing.
Recent work by Dr. Joe
Lock, extension area
fish specialist, demon-
strated that properly ap-
plied commercial inor-
ganic fertilizers will
more than double the
pounds of fish a pond will
produce In a year.
The Increase In fish
production can be ex-
plained by the effect of
Aeled nutrients on tiny
Afeen plants (smaller
^frfkn the eye can see) call-
ed "phytoplankton". The
growth of the phytoplank-
ton provides more food
for small insects and
small fish, which, In turn,
are eaten by larger fish.
The result is more and
bigger fish for the fish-
erman.
Dr. Lock recommends
100 pounds of 20-20-5 or
16-20-0 per surface acre
of water. Any formula-
tion high in nitrogen and
phosphorus will substi-
tute. Broadcast the fer-
tilizer into water less
than 6 feet deep. For
maximum fish produc-
tion, follow with a sim-
ilar application of 50
pounds per surface acre
in May. Using more than
the recommended amount
will not increase fish pro-
duction.
Fertilization is effect-
ive in ponds stocked with
bass, bream or catfish,
but should not be used If
a commercial feeding
program Is followed. Ex-
cessive algae growth can
deplete oxygen and kill
fish.
More Information on
fertilization and other
methods of improving fish
in farm ponds is avail-
able at the extension of-
fice.

The Texas Veterans
Land Program has chang-
ed a good deal from the
time of its inception when
it set out to give former
servicemen a chance to
buy a piece of Texas farm
land.
The basic loans arefor
$10,000 at 5 1/2 percent,
with $500 down. The ver-
eran has up to 40 years
to pay, and he must buy
15 acres or more.
This program is not
costing the taxpayers a
cent. All costs are paid
out of the difference be-
tween the bond issue rate
and the loan rate.
The original legislation
was passed to reward vet-
erans for services rend-
ered to their country and
the Veterans Land Board
was set up in November of
1946. Veterans of the first
World War can not qua-
lify for loans under the
program.
In order to be eligible,
applicants must have
served at least 90 con-
tinuous days in active
military duty unless dis-
charged sooner by rea-
son of service connected
disability. Eligibility will
continue until U.S. forces
are formally withdrawn
from Vietnam.
Applicants must have
been a resident of the
state at the time they
entered military service
or have lived in the state
at least five years prior
to applying for a loan.
They must be a resident
in order to qualify for a
loan and must not have
previously participated.
When a veteran sends
an inquiry to the Vet-
erans Land Board at Aus-
tin he receives a des-
criptive booklet detailing
all steps in the process,
as well as all forms need-
ed.

Expect the worst
weather and even then we don't
stay down for long. The people who
own and operate the Bowie-Cass Electric Cooperative pioneered
rural electricity in the areas they serve. On those rare occasions
when ice, tornadoes, or hurricanes damage the system, they
have a backlog of skilled helpers, their own fine people, plus
3,000 skilled workmen employed by the other 76 member-owned
electric cooperatives of Texas. They help put us back in the saddle
in a hurry.

sponsorship of the Pewitt
High School Vocational
Agriculture Department,
according to H. R. Hamil-
ton, superintendent and
James Tomberlain, agri-

determine the district
representative. In case of
a three way tie, one of
the three teams will draw
a bye and play the winner
of a game between the
other two teams for the
right to represent the
district in the state play-
offs.
Admission charges for
baseball games will be
75 cents for adults and
50 cents for students.
It will be the first time
in about a dozen or so
years that Pewitt has had
a baseball team In high
school competition.
Fielding Huddleston,
head coach and athletic
director at the school,
will be in charge of the
boys. Fifteen boys were
on hand for the first
day's practice two weeks
ago.
Most of the games will
be played at night with
some of them possibly
being played in late after-
noon. The Brahma team
will have to play all their
games away from home
because of the lack of
facilities at the school.
Since there has been no
organized high school
baseball program at the
school, there are not
any lights, bleachers,
dugouts or fences at the
practice field where the
boys conduct workouts.

Powerful and prepotent—efficient, too
The cattle business is changing—so are Angus. <> '
Note the size of a modern Angus bull. He's big,

He passes this muscling on to his calves. This .

Less wasteful bone, belly and brisket
He's tight in the brisket—there's no loose skin

or belly.
He's efficient-—and naturally hornless.
