Jap Parties Try 10 Form
Coalition Government
by tie ASsoejofsd prsss

TOKYO, May 6.-The Social
Democratic party, with little opti-
mism, attempted today to bring
Communists and right-wing liberals
into a coalition cabinet to succeed
the resigned Shidehara government
The Social Democrats received the
go-ahead from retiring Premier Shi-
dehara to try to form the coalition
cabinet.
The liberals showed reluctance to
participate in any government with
the Communists. Supreme head
quarters had blasted the liberals
chances for the premiership by dis
qualifying the party president
Ichiro Hatoyama, for pro-Axis SYM
pathies. Yet the liberals still are
strong enough to make or break
Socialist hopes of gaining the ma
jority of portfolios in the new gov
ernment.
Representatives of the three par
ties, together with delegates from
the Cooperative party, will meet to-
morrow to discuss formation of the
cabinet.

ened strike by $4,000 shipworkers
set for midnight tomorrow in East

Farmers Now Turn
To Fish Business
Find Profit. Food dnd Sport
In New Departure

AUBURN, ALA. Fish farming
in Alabama and it's giving a new
slant to the fisherman's tale.
Reports from the officials of the
Alabama department of agriculture
reveal that nearly 1000 farmers
have put in their own fishing ponds.
Some 500 were completed last year
and plans have been made for an
other 1000 of the triple-benefit wa
ter projects.
Experts point out that they hold
rainwater on the land, helping to
offset the effects of drouth, supply
water for stock, and provide up to
300 pounds per acre a year of down.
right entertaining eating-sized fish.
1t has been strongly limited that
the old-style fish story about the size
of the one that got away is being
replaced by one that starts 'why I've
got so many fish in my pond"
While department reports admit
that pond fishing won't ever replace
stream fishing, they claim that it's
a welcome substitute to many a
busy farmer. The report emphasized
that fish can become a regular farm
crop.
Well-m anaged fortified ponds
will provide up to 300 pounds of
eating-sized fish per acre each year.
Secret to that success, according to
the report, is the use of 6-84 fertilizer
along with nitrate of soda or I'M
monium nitrate.
Experts add that it's a mistake
to plant weeds. They don't improve
the fishing and may well ruin a pond
in two or three years.
For those farmers who aren't
keen about fish, the department
points out that some pond owners
sell fishing rights for from $40 to
$40 per acre. The people who rent
the fishing usually fertilize the
ponds.
Many farmers who don't rent the
fishing, catch the crop themselves
and then sell the fish.
Alabama county agents report
that in considering building ponds
most farmers think first of providing
a watering spot for livestock.
They also report that the pond
helps to maintain the ground wa
ter level and that a garden set
below the pond dam will use the
ground water during dry spells.
