lingering Walleyes Placed in Sauk
Lake Recently--From New London
First In History
Placed Here We
Have Been Informed
5000 PLANTED
Lake Surveyed and
Certified AS Acceptable
Walleye Water

First large-scale distribution Of
lingering pike in Minnesota his
tory got underway last week when
125,000 walleyes were planted in
lakes located in four counties.
These fingerlings were from the
New London hatchery, and 5000 of
them were placed in Sauk Lake.
This, ny the way, to our knowledge
is the first batch Of lingering
walleyes ever placed in the local
lake.
The fish were pond-raised by the
u. s. Fish and Wildlife Service at
the new hatchery at New London
from stock and eggs furnished by
the Department of Conservation.
The fish were raised and distribut-
ed comparatively.
Early this season, the Depart
ment of Conservation furnished the
hatchery with 30,0OO,000 walleye
eggs. In operation at the hatchery
here are 30 acres of rearing ponds;
officials hope to expand this to IS
acres next year.
The walleyes planted this week,
ranging up to three inches in size,
were distributed to between Is and
30 lakes. Many more thousands
remain in the rearing ponds. They
will be removed this fall and dis
tributed to other lakes.
The lakes restocked this week
are located in Kandiyohi, Stearns,
Meeker and Pope county. Each
lake had been surveyed by state
fish propagation experts and GER
titled as acceptable walleye water.

The unofficial garden derby"
begun innocently enough in this
newspaper two weeks ago when a
passing mention was made Of q
certain stand Of hollyhocks, con-
tinues to grow-if we may wrap
up a pun with our carrot tops.
With hollyhocks standing II feet
6 inches, Miss Leta v. Gilman adds
to the momentum Of the competi-
tion with a list of figures on a
postal card that look like what the
Gallup poll Of public opinion might
get on an ideal gaSden. With deep
humility born of the soil, Miss Gil
man, Of this city, penned, "Inas-
much as this Is the first season I
have ever cared for a garden, the
credit for such outstanding results
will have to be given wholly to
nature"
Her lively array Of results in
clude: sweet corn at feet 6 inch
es, ready for the table in a day
or SO; cucumbers on which cir
cumnavigation Is distance Of 4
and one-quarter inches; peas, with
first crop now gone, came as
early as July 4th; July 10th was
opening day for string beans with
a first crop nearly gone. Now on
their table is a second crop or
strawberries.
AS a novice gardener, Miss Gil
man has behaved unbecomingly
like a veteran.

shaking more friendly hands than
a visiting congressman.
Mr.. Kusba arrived here Satur-

been visiting in the state for sew
eral weeks, and who arrived here
last week to visit with friends.
The home, in which MIR. Kusba
lived first with his parents and
later with his own family for 81
years, is located on Fourth Street
between Oak and Elm, and the
sight Of it was nostalgia on this
first trip back. He was impressed
with the changes made in town
even In so short a period of five
years.
He said he was glad to see Sc
many old friends, but some he had
missed which was unavoidable ir
so short stay.
Defense work there, he said, Is
tremendous. 1.-THE amount OF
money poured into that section IL
almost astonishing" was his com
ment. He cited the fact that wher
they first moved to this suburb Of
Oakland, their home was on tn,
fringe of the city. Now it is th'
center of a vast building program
and a former estate Of some eight.
or more acres Is now a building
project of over 400 homes. Hous
ing conditions, with the huge in
flux of defense program workers
had become acute.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kusba expect t.
leave here Friday for Minneapoli
and from there to their home II
