do not have springs these days. Some
of the reasons can be easily enumer-
ated:
l. Cutting the timber off Of the
land which furnished a cover of
straw, leaves and a mass of fine roots
to serve as an absorbant over the
soil which held a reat portion of the
water that fell, whether it was on
hillside or level land.
2. Forest fires destroy this cover
on many acres of forest lands which
tends to leave the water to run free
ly off of the soil carrying great
quantities of it along through our
natural drainage system of creeks
and rivers.
3. Another contributing factor is
the fact that more Of the land has
been put into clean cultivated crops.
Only a few years ago almost any
farmer in the county who wished to
raise cattle or other forms of live
stock had no water problem con-
fronting them, but today and for the
last few years, the water problem
has to be considered before livestock
is added to the farm. In the last five
years / have known of several farm
ers in Holmes county who found it
necessary to move their cattle to
rented pastures many miles away
where water could be found. Money
was lost while hoping and waiting
for a rain, permitting cattle to go
without sufficient water several
days and besides, it cost time and
money to haul these animals back
and forth to new pastures.
The great need of water for live
stock on so many of the farms in
the south caused the AAA to offer
as a practice to the farmers, through
its program, assistance in building
ponds. This program started in Hol-
mes county about one year ago and
has continued at a more rapid pace
in recent months. Approximately
100 ponds have been built in the
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1945-06-14

county under this program, and it
is believed that if this practice by
the AAA is continued for the next
two or three years, there will be be-
tween 700 and 1000 stock ponds con-
structed in Holmes county.
Although the purpose of the pond
under the AAA regulations is to
furnish water for livestock, the own
er is permitted to s it also as a
fish already or have made plans to
do so in the near future and the
fish idea brings up another matter
for discussion
When a dam is constructed by a
contractor, it is necessary for the
owner to give it frequent or con-
slant attention. If he does not, the
first thing he knows a big rain will
come and out goes his dam and he
finds himself without water. The
dam should be fenced off with a
temporary fence, fortified and
seeded to grass and clovers so as to
develop a vegetative covering as
quickly as possible. If cattle are per-
mitted to trespass on the dam, it
will take a long time to establish a
sod and while doing so, much of the
edges and top of the dam will slough
off and wash away; if such a thing
is permitted to continue, the day
will soon come when the dam will
be no mor
Some people have the idea that it
is necessary to have water lilys in
a pond before fish will really thrive.
This is a mistake. The experiment
station in Alabama has done a great
deal of research work on fish and
ponds and it says that water lilys
are harmful to fish. Another tempt
ing luxury that some pond owners
fancy is to set out willows on the
dam, gums or other species of tim
Der to furnish shade. These trees
should not be set near or on the dam
SO their roots will penetrate it. One
