temperature of the water exceeds
rs degrees for any length of
time, warm water fish such as
bass and bluegill may be stocked.
If the temperature Of the water
remains below rs degrees, trout
may be stocked. Either Brook OF
Rainbow trout do well in cold
water ponds. In large ponds, S to
10 acres in size, walleye or north
ern pike are sometimes stocked.
Trout and walleye do not repro
duce in small ponds, SO the pond
must be restocked as the large
fish are taken out.
Fish grow very rapidly when
they have sufficient food, and
most of the Montana ponds are
very fertile. Trout stocked one
year should be big enough -

water must be clean and free
from silt. This may require a
complete conservation program on
the watershed.
The size of the pond is not as
important as the depth. One acre
of water will provide fishing for
an average family. Community
fish ponds should be three to five
acres in size. If the water supply
is from runoff, the pond must be
10 to IL feet deep over a fifth
of the area. Ponds with running
water need not be as deep.
Proper construction OF the pond
is important. The shoreline should
be steep to prevent growth of
aquatic plants. For best results
the pond should be fenced to
keep cattle from muddying the
water and a tank placed below
the dam.

1856, he visited the Sidney Sos
office and explained his plans to
irrigate those troublesome eighty
acres.
An Sos technician accompanied
Mr.. Buxbaum to his farm where
MIR. Buxbaum outlined his plans
in detail. A soil survey was made
of the land and instrument sur
veys were carried out to deter
mine cost. Every facet of the job
was good so two weeks later fl
nal plans were completed by the
Sos and submitted to Mr.. Bux-
baum for his approval, but that
was not all.
MI. Buxbaum climbed on his
"cat" late in the summer of
1856 and in between his heavy
farming operations constructed the
The Sidney herald., 1958-04-17

project himself. Some $4,000 cubic
yards of dirt were moved in for
the dixie and irrigation bitches.
He constructed the forms and
poured the concrete for distribu-
ton boxes, drops, pump site and
stilling basin. He designed a cross
head system of supplying power
to his pump out of the rear end
of an old tractor.
On July 2, 1857, Mr.. Bux-
baum opened the throttle on his
tractor, threw out the clutch and
1400 gallons of water per minute
began to flow out through the
pipe, down the ditch and out on
to the 30 thirsty acres. The cost =
$1,000 and Mr.. Buxbaum had
completed his dream.

Farm fish ponds are a part Of
the complete soil and water con-
servation plan in the Richland
County Soil Conservation District.
Some ponds are constructed spe-
officially for fish production -
others which were built to pro-
vide stock water or for irrigation
are sometimes stocked with fish.
Many farms and ranches have
sites which could be developed
for fish production. Sources o.
water include springs, diversions
from a stream or runoff from
melting snow, and heavy rains.
Running water is not necessary
for production of fish, however,
if a cotinuous supply of water IS
available, the pond need not be
as deep or as large as one de-
pendent on runoff alone. The

on a heavily grazed one.
Many factors must be consider
ed in determining proper stock
ing rates for any given range. Po-
tential range production, condi-
ton of the range, watering facili-
ties are all exceedingly impor-
tant. A thorough range survey is
Of course needed to accurately
plan proper stocking rates.
A common sense rule of thumb
that is wise for every rancher to
heed when it comes to range use
is take half and leave half" In
the long run, it means more
pounds of beef, lamb, and wool
produced per acre of land.
Experience and experiment
have proven that it does not pay
to overgraze.

With over 500 of Richland
County's land area in native
range, grass and other range
plants constitute one of u rich
est resources. In spite of its i'm
portance to the production of cat
tie and sheep, the proper man.
agement of native range is often
neglected. This is particularly true
as to the carrying capacity of
most Of our range land.
AS indicated above, overgraz-
ing is a common abuse of native
range. The critical season for in
jury Of range plants by overuse
is just ahead. Research shows that
the vitality of grass is greatly re-
duced by constant clipping during
the rapid growing months of May,

More than a quarter of a CEN
fury ago, Mr.. Emanuel Buxbaum
leased the farm on which he and
his charming wife reside just two
miles south of Sidney.
During all those years Mr.
Buxbaum says he never raised a
crop on 80 acres of that farm.
Many times he visualized the pos
sibility of irrigating this land but
his dream never came to pass.
No one could see the project as
he did.
In 1855 Mr.. Buxbaum purchaS-
ed the farm and Immediately APP

1t was recommended by the
Sanitation Committee that we

cussion it was decided to call
for bids on a new truck and pack
err. The operation of the sanitation
crew has been very satisfactory
and with the coming of summer

man Albert DUDE is again re-
questing that those people who

has been a big Improvement in
the looks of Sidney.
The council has many things
under consideration that will be

it.

A contract has now been signed
with the Lalonde Co. for the work
to be done in District No. 43 and
if everything goes alright work
will begin this week. Several
complaints have been registered
about the conditions of the road
on Sunset and the surrounding
area and the only reason action
has not been take is due to
the fact that as soon as conditions
permit Lalonde is ready to go to
work.
Have received notice from the
codification company which IS
undermining our ordinances that
the rough draft will be sent
within the week for the councils
consideration. This will be one
of the best things that has taken
place in quite sometime as far as
the operation of the city of Sid
ney goes, and / am sure that the
people of Sidney will benefit by
this action.
The council has under consider
alton the dedication of the pres
ent parks in Sidney. This matter
was brought before the council at
the last regular meeting when a
group of businessmen urged the
council not only to consider the
high school park but to include
all the present parks. Elmer Sor-
ensen gave a very informative
talk on how these sites were ac-
quired and c. o. Watkins and Sig
Anderson explained how much
time and effort was put into
these areas to make them pre-
sentable. The reason for dedica-
ton is for the prevention of these
sites being sold and then lost
forever to the people of Sid
ney. Once these parks are dedi-
Gated then the only way they

Reading further, we ran across
another item. 1t contained the
death announcement of Colonel
Jake Freedman, a one-time ba-
mana peddler who was born in
Odessa, Russia. The story of
Freedman's death contained the
interesting information that he
had once engaged in a dice game
which, at one time, found him
down $500, 1000. He managed to
change his luck and wound UP
only losing $4,000 - so it was

Salt Lake City is one Of the more
beautiful cities in the United
States.
Nevertheless, it was decided
that the traffic laws should be
more rigidly enforced. Therefore,
Governor George Clyde, of the
state, ordered a closer check ON
traffic laws, and a breakdown on
those who violated them.
Not long afterwards Governor
Clyde was beating" a stop sign
in Salt Lake City and a law of
ficer spotted the violation.
The Governor was arrested and
went to Police Headquarters and
paid a $1,000 fine.
Thereupon he praised the IT.
resting officer for his alertness.
This was one case where the Gov
ernor did not have to ask whether
his directions had been carried
out. He had the receipt for the
$1,000 as the answer. And, in
spite of the fact that he broke
one of the traffic laws, his ex-
ample in going to Police Head
quarters and paying his fine is
commendable and, we point out,
that this is not standard proceed
ure for governors in most states.
