Fertilize Farm
Ponds Beginning
Of Crowing Season
Properly fertilized and manag- I
ed farm ponds are an excellent j
source of fish for food on tli"
farm, in addition to fulfilling j
the needed water supply. Two |
of the most important things in
fish pond management are the i
control of the fish population —
(kinds and numbers land tho l
j production of food for the fish.
When the fish population in j
a pond becomes out of balance
with too many small stunted
fish and containing undesirable
fish, it is often best to remove
all fish and start over with a
balanced stocking. The use of
Derris powder (.5% rotenone) is
an easy and practical method
in removing fish fro mponds.
The use of rotenone or other
materials toxic to fish is prohi-
bited in private ponds only as
a management practice in a
pond improvement program. Use
three pounds of 5% rotenone
powder to each acre foot of wa-
ter. This treatment is harmless
to livestock or human beings
using the water, and the pond
will be ready for restocking witli
in seven to fourteen days.
Fish grow to pan size in a
single year in ponds that are
properly stocked and fertilized.
In unfertilized ponds, an acre
of water may support as little
as twenty pounds of fish year.
These same ponds can be made
to support from four hundred
to six hundred pounds of fish
by adding commercial fertiliz-
er.
Commercial fertilizer (8-8-4)
added to the water at the rate
of about one hundred pounds to
the surface acre per month
from April to July usually in-
creases production tremjend-
cusly. Just scatter the fertilizer
in the water around the shore.
If you can see your hand with
your arm in the water midway
to your elbow, the pond needs
fertilization. This should bo done
once a month. Never over fer-
tilize.
If the pond is muddy, one
ton of barnyard manure per acre
of water put in every two weeks
for a month or two will help
clear the mud. Fertilizer not
only improves fishing but also
keeps down moss and other un-
desirable plants.
The green scum that may
cover some ponds can be killed
with Milestone (cooper slupha-
te). In treating ponds, the blue-
stone may be put in a sack and
dragged through the water un-
til all is dissolved. Safe dosage
is eight pounds of Milestone per
million gallons of water. In
small ponds or watering troughs
the scum may be prevented by
putting pieces of copper sheets
or copper shavings in the water.
This will be effective for a long
time unless covered with dirt
or slime.
To eradicate lily pads use a
mixture of eight ounces of 2,4-D
weed killer in three gallons of
kerosene, and one tablespoon of
detergent, and spray on with a
hand sprayer. The detergent,
Is necessary to stick the spray
to the lily pads. This spray is
not effective against cattails.
Nutria, muskrat-like animals
native of South America have
proved to be effective in con-
trol of lily pads.
The main things to remember
are to stock the pond with the
right iknds and numbers of fish,
fertilize (preferably with com-
mercial fertilizer,) fish the pond
hard as soon as pan size fish
can be caught, and keep weeds
pulled out or shaded out by fer-
tilizing the pond.

Within the past four years the rail-
roads have contributed to the farmers,
ranchers and dairymen, through a
50% reduction in rates on hay and
other feedstuffs, 25 million dollars.
Both the Congress of the United
States and the Legislature of Texas,
by resolution, have expressed their
thanks to the railroads for this
substantial contribution.
Through the years the railroads have
always extended a helping hand to
their neighbors in times of disaster.
To us this is a basic responsibility of
good Americans.
