Conservation Notes
by A. p. Carol.
Soil Conservation Service

Proper fertilizing a pond means
a production of 800 to 500 pounds
of fish per acre. The production
of fish can be increased in ponds
just as easily by the use of fertl'
per amounts and kinds OF fertl-
lizer as yields of corn.
A few years past the production
of 100 bushels of corn per acre
was considered fantastic. How
ever, it is not doubted as toe
many have seen it become a real
ity. This has been accomplished
by the proper use of the rlghl
kind and amounts of fertilizer.
There are several hundred good
ponds in the county that have
been properly stocked. They VIII
produce the owners 300 to 5OO
pounds of frying fish annually per
acre if they will apply the neces-
sary fertilizer.
The fertilizer is not used for
feed for the fish but it stimulates
the growth of a small one-cell
animal or plant that the Dream
feed on. The bass feed largely
on the little fish including their
own young. Thus they prevent
over population in the pond. inns
principle applies to every fish
pond regardless of its size. Bass
do not grow satisfactorily unless
they have small fish such as
Dream to feed On. If too many
fish are stocked, there will not
be enough food for each to reach
pan size. The correct rate OF
stocking a fortified pond is lou
bass and 1000 Dream per surface
acre of water.
Fertilizer placed in a pond ac-
complishes three things: First 1t
greatly increases the food for
fish; second, it controls SUBJ
merged pond weeds; and third
it makes fishing more successful,
Any of the mixed fertilizers can
be used. You should add 10 to ID
pounds Of nitrate of soda with
each 100 pounds used. Apply
about 100 pounds of the fertilizer
for each acre of surface water.
The fertilizer should be applied
weekly until the water becomes
so clouded that you cannot see the
bottom or a bright object IL in
ches under the surface. Measure
it; you don't have to guess. They
then need fertilizer again only
when the water begins to clear a
little. Time intervals need not be
regular, just follow the color as a
guide. Some ponds may take as
much as 800 pounds per year.

Builds Tomorrow's World" has
again been selected for this open
house week. Tomorrow's world
seems more uncertain than in any
year since Home Demonstration
Week was established in 1946. The
emphasis this year is on "Today's
Home" what it Is and what
WAYS it can be strengthened to act
as a stabilizing influence in a con-
fused world.
Mrs. Malcolm Byrnes of Ethel,
La, National Home Demonstra-
ton president, says: "As we come
to the sixth observance of Nation
al Home Demonstration Week, our
theme, Today's Home Builds To-
morrow's World has a deeper
meaning for many of US. We do
not feel the same security in our
homes as we did at this time last
year, and many have already
known the vacancies from family
firesides that have been caused by
our international crisis Our
duty is to make every effort In
our daily tasks of homemaking to
preserve the heritage of our
American way of life as a legacy
to those who come after us"
The interest of Mississippi
home demonstration women ex-
tends beyond the home. These
women take part in many COM
munity projects. They serve on
committees and make other con-
tributions to drives such as Red
Cross, Cancer fund, tuberculosis
association, Infantile Paralysis

News And Views
by Earl w. Lundy

The wool and lambs from thirty
sheep which have been properly
cared for could easily bring in an
extra $1,000 each year at the pres
ent prices of 40 cent lambs and
over $1.00 per pound wool, and
according to all economic reports
we have had future sheep prices
look very promising.
Let's put aside any old ideas
that we might have about sheep
being scavengus, and are only
good to clean fence rows, NOV
broomsedge, fight running briers,
and the like. It's true that they
will do all these things and, yes,
they will clip the grass so short
that a cow won't be able to get
a bite but only when you over
stock and overgraze your pas
lures. If you're practicing this
type of management don't expect
sheep or your cattle to produce
40 cent lambs or 40 cent fat calves.
There is no class of livestock
that responds any faster to the
loving care of an understanding
hand than does sheep. This
management is of vital import
ance, and if you aren't set up to
do this | would strongly advise
against your purchasing any
sheep.
Sheep are excellent converters
of forage crops making about go
per cent of their living from hay
and pasture. In this area where
we can grow pastures a large part
of the year at relatively low costs
we should consider marketing
some of it through sheep.
The grazing habits of sheep and
cattle are different, in that cattle
usually prefer the blade grasses
while sheep will ordinarily prefer
the clovers. With this difference
we might well consider combining
sheep and cattle for best utiliza-
ton of our improved pastures.
Whether you combine them or
Craze them separately, ! believe
sheep will give you an excellent
means of harvesting and market
ing high quality pastures and
hay. Why not give sheep a
chance on your farm?

Back in the early 1905" Thar She Blows"
was a familiar cry off the coast of New
England. Hundreds of whaling ships
roamed- the seas, looking for whales to
supply the nations demand for oil.
But in 1859 Colonel e. L. Drake brought
in the first oil well near Titusville, Pennsyl-
vania. That ended the whaling business.
In its place has risen the petroleum in
dustry, furnishing power to run America
and a thousand and one products for
modern day living.
In 1899 oil was discovered In Mississippi.
Since then the industry has steadily ex-
panded until today there are over 1000
producing oil and gas wells in A fields.

BREAKDOWN TN GOVERNMENT

ALI over the world, governments are growing
weaker In our own country, never before have so
many people loss confidence in the they elected
to high office Graft and subversion has crept steal
thily into almost every phase of American public lite
Taking advantage of this weakness, the obvi-
ouslv unAmerican and subversive Ku Klux Klan has
rapidly grown among the disgruntled, the dissatis-
fled, the trouble makers and the prejudiced.
Choosing not to voice their sentiments in open
and truly American ways, this organization instead
chooses to hide in the blackness of night To carry
on its cowardy deeds in backhanded, illegal crafty
manner indicative of big city mobsters in the days
of prohibition.
If this group of mystics have wholesome de-
forms which they advocate, why, on why, can't they
she'd their coaks of and private citizens
carrv those sentiments to the poles and vote the

American way.

whom they are If their motives are honorable, why

Nor a member of the Grange, the Farm Bureau the
