MAY LOCATE FISH
REARING POND HERE

Guy Amsler, secretary of the Arkan-
sas Game and Fish Commission, was
in Pocahontas last Thursday comforting
with local citizens regarding the legal
izatiOn of a fish rearing pond in this
locality.
Our fast diminishing supply of game
fish is a matter of grave concern to
Randolph county spOrtsmen and it is
the concensus of opinion that, if some
thing is not done to restOck our streams
and lakes, the art of angling will soon
become extinct.
1t is Mr.. Amslers idea that if there
could be arranged IA or 10 acre pond
fed by springs, the parent fish could
be placed in the pond and, unhindered
by gars, turtles, etc, raise practically
all they hatch. When the young fish
reach a length of about three inches
they could be trapped or seined and
conveyed to neighbOring lakes and
streams for restocking our fishing
holes.
Concerning the establishment of such
a pond, Mr.. Amsler said: "If we are
able to locate a suitable pond or lake
or location for the construction Of
a proper rearing pond at reasonable
cost, the Commission will doubtless
take immediate steps along accepted
lines looking to the legalization Of such
a place"
He further stated that, If the people
in this locality could convince the Com
mission that the pond was wanted and
would cooperate with the Commission
in establishing it, he had no doubt that
the pond would be provided.

DESIRES PEST FREE DISTRICT
FOR DATE PALMS

{ DR. Walter T. Swingle, Physiolo-
gist in charge of Crop Physiology
and Breeding Investigations of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
visited the office of the State Ento-
mologist in the interest of the date
palm industry. 1t is the desire of
DR.. Swingle to establish districts
throughout the southwest where no
insect pest or plant disease of the
date palm is ever permitted to enter.
At the present time DR.. Swingle has
in mind the establishment of such a
planting upon the farm of the Fort
MOhave Indian Reservation. This
planting would include land located
in California, Nevada and Arizona at
a point where the state boundaries
meet. In the opinion of DR.. Swingle
the location is ideal for date palm
culture and the cooperation of the
various quarantine officials. of the
safes is desired in order to main
tain this a pest free planting.

IN this matter has just come to notice.
This farmer, who is also aslocal bank
9r, was raising beef cattle.
He made tests on the relation of
water to the weight of his stock
and noted that his cattle drank
more water when it was pumped fresh
from the ground for them. than when
they drank water that had stood long
IN the tank.
Following a study Of the matter,
be and a neighboring farmer put in an
electric power line for their farms, ex-
pending together about $1,10O. After
a years operation from that particu-
lar station, 81 carloads of cattle were
shipped. Seven of these carloads
we're from three farms-a farm with
spring and the two%farms equipped
with electricity.
Difference Due to~Water
The cattle. in those seven carloads
we're the only cattle out of the, entire
4 carloads that brought top prices
on the market Moreover, the aver4
age weight of the. cattle in those seven
cars was 58 pounds. per head greater
than the average weight Of the cattle
in the other cars The banker-farmer
att1fbuted this entirely to his facilities
for giving the cattlesan adequate sup
ply of fresh watef.at ground temperas
ture, and he estimated that in this
year alone he made approximately
400 on his investment.
