Harve Welsh, who lives down
the road from The 40 Acres. has
been doing a little research on
farm ponds.
1t wasn't that Harve was try
ing to add to the mass of techni-
cal data about ponds, but his
pond started to leak. and he
has assembled certain facts as
a result.
Harve stocked his pond in the
usual way when 1t was con-
structed eight years ago. That
is. he put in bass and bluegills,
with emphasis on the bluegills
population.
But when he drained the pond
q week or so ago. he found that
something had gone wrong with
the bass. There we're only 10. in
the pond, and Harve has no idea
why there weren't more.
There was one big bass that
measured "a inches. The others
were slightly smaller, but were
all big fish.
Harve said it appeared that
the bass had quit spawning.
Why. he has no idea. Neither
did any of the fish experts who
stopped by while the pond was
being drained.
The other contents of the
pond also were interesting.
There were. in addition to the
10 bass. millions" of bluegills,
a few carp and catfish, and q
boat load Of turtles, one a So
FOUNDER.
How did the carp and the cat
fish get in Harve's pond? My
guess is that the eggs were car
ried to the pond by waterfowl.
Maybe by a wild duck, or by a
heron that got carp and catfish
eggs on his feet while wading
In some stream.
But there is one thing for sure

Gardeners should turn their
attention to the control Of
weeds and crabgrass which also
benefited from the rains. There
is not too much activity other
wise in the garden. There
maybe some planting, such as
the setting out Of ANIMALS. glad
ioluS corms, dahlia tubers and
tuberous rooted begonias. Gar
deners who have not pruned
their spring Towering shrubs
might well undertake that job,
as well as the removal of a few
OF the oldest canes Of the spring
Towering climbing roses.
Pests and Diseases
Insects and diseases are I'M
usually numerous this spring,
some that we have not seen in
several years are here-leaf
gals Of abaleas and the sasanqua
camellias. These two are so
rare that all that should be
done at this time is to remove
and burn the gals. Then there
is a fungous disease that has
appeared on several lawns. The
fungous does not attack the grass
but climbs upon it to discharge
its spores. Outside Of its APP
pearance 1t does no harm.
These diseases, plus the numer-
GUS insects present, point to
the necessity of keeping up a
regular dust or spray program
using one of the all-purpose
mixtures which will take care Of
the major portion Of these pests.
Planting Passes Peak
Planting has passed the peak
and while there are a few things
that should be planted now, they
are not Of major portions. Glads
and dahlias should be planted
now If they are to have time to
flower and the roots mature
before cold weather. Tuberous
rooted begonias may still be
planted in the moist shady sit
uation for summer color. Balled
and burlapped nursery stock and
potted roses may still he planted,

but only where they can be well
mulched and watered as needed
Prune Shrubs, Roses
Many neglect to prune their
spring Towering shrubs and
spring blooming climbing roses
They should be pruned now Sc
that the new growth will have
space in which to grow. This is
particularly important with such
climbing roses as Paul's Scarlet
and DR.. Van Fleet which Otter
will flower again in the fall il
pruned. fertilized and watered
Remove a few of the oldest canes
or branches at the base of the
plant. This is called the renewal
system of pruning and is neces-
sary after the plant reaches 3
sary after the plant reaches
or 4 years Of age in order to
maintain the quality of bloom
and to keep the bushes produc-
tive from the ground up.
Refertilizing May Be Needed
Because of the heavy down.
pours in parts Of the Metropoli-
tan Area it is Quite likely that
much Of the nitrogen has been
leached from the soil. For this
reason the roses. ANIMALS and
perhaps some of the shrubs will
need to be fertilized again. A
few gardeners are using the
toliar sprays for this reason
to supplement and to- replace
plant food leached out by heavy
rains.
Spray or Hoe Weeds
The weeds are growing
strongly and now is the time to
bring thin under control either
by hand pulling or by spraying
II they are in the lawn or in an
area where it is safe to use a
weed killer that's the simplest
and least back-breaking method
But, when they are in amongst
shrubs or flowers. then they
must be pulled or removed with
the hoe. The point is to get
them while they are small when
1t does not take so much effort.
Plants Refurnish Bulb Beds
1t is too late to sow the seed
OF ANIMALS for fall bloom, but
there are many nurserymen and
plant growers that have stable
plants ready for setting out.
They are quite useful for plant
ing over bulb beds now that the
bulb foliage is beginning to ma
ture. Use zinnias and mari
Colds in the sunny situations:
petunias and snapdragons. as
well as Towering tobacco, will
TAKE some Snaoe.
Bulb Lifting
Now that the foliage Of the
spring Towering bulbs is begin
ming to die down it is time to
lift those that need lifting. Tu-
lips will normally do better If
lifted and stored in a dry Sit
uation over summer. This
chore is imperative for the n.y.
acinths which are highly sus-
Iceptible to basal rot. The DAFT
fodils need digging only when
they are so thick that they do
not flower freely. After digging
these bulbs should be dried in a
shady situation. then stored in
an airy situation until planting
time next fall.-W. H. Y.

Egypt in part but not completely.
Egypt and Israel are by no
means the only offenders. The
Soviet Union is by far the most
fragrant in its abuse of u. N.
actions, and violations of the u.
N. Charter. The rape of Hun
gary will always be regarded by
freedom-loving people as vile
act of communist aggression.
A U. N. resolution of condem-
nation, demanding the removal of
Russian military forces, failed to
faze the masters of the Kremlin.
In an obvious plan of obstruction,
rather than in any spirit of u. N.
cooperation, the Societ Union has
exercised the so-called veto
power" in 70 of sc instances.
Failure of free governments to
steer by the compass of moral
principle has caused much of the
unrest in the world today. If the
U. N. is to condone the doctrine of
might makes right" applying it's
processes to the small but not to
the large, then morality and in
tegrity among nations can never
prevail.

In the present Arab-Israeli con.
