SUBSCRIPTION RATES Inside Brantley County, one year $2.50 Six Months $1.50 Outside Brantley County, one year $3.00 Six Months $2.00 FERTILIZER HELPS FISH PONDS Fertilized Ponds Yield More Pounds This claim may sound like another tall fishing yam, but it isn’t: Petrochemical weed con trols and fertilizers can be made to promote bumper fish crops in farm ponds as effectively as they boost the production of or dinary farm crops on dry land. In Alabama, unfertilized ponds support 40 to 200 pounds of fish per surface acres, but fertiliz ed ones give cane-pole harvests of 400 to 600 pounds. Up North, too, fertilized ponds yield four to five times more fish, and the fish grow much faster than in natural streams and lakes. Ordinary fertilizing with ni trogen, phosphoric acid, and pot ash starts a sort of Isaac Wal ton chain reaction. It steps up the growth of microscopic plant life upon which fish feed. In ponds stocked with the popular bass and bluegill combination, it works out like this: On a rich, fertilized diet, bluegill fingerlings reach four ounces in a year or less.’Having plenty of little blue gills to feed on, the bass grow to a nice one-pound pan-frying size in the same short time. The harder a well-managed, fertilized pond is fished, the bet ter. The more big ones caught, the faster the babies grow. A pleasing by-product in that fert ilized algae or fish food dis courge weeds in the bottom of the pond by cutting off their sunlight. Here petrochemicals help too. 2-4-D works well on broad-leaved weed around ponds and dosen’t hurt the fish, provid ing it is not in an oily carrier. In small ponds without heavy water currents, fertilizer can be scattered from the banks; in larger ones, from boats.

BRANCO CLEANERS MORGAN GROCERY JOS. B. STRICKLAND Agent for Standard Oil Company Yet since the turn of the century one million lives have been wiped out on the highways of our country. It would take the death-dealing power of thirteen Hiro shimas to equal that slaughter. All the American military deaths since Lexington, after 176 years, just equaled at the end of 1951 the toll of automobile deaths since 1900. And death continues to ride the highways at an increasingly alarming rate. 3 5,000 killed in 1950! 300,000 in the ten years since Pearl Harbor! Last year more than 100 lives sacrificed to speed and carelessness every day! 5 ,£OO injured every day! You ask: What can I do about it? You and 60,000,000 other drivers can do everything about it. You can be a safe driver alert to danger, sensitive to the killing power of speed. You can be a courteous driver considerate of other drivers and pedestrians. Your contribution toward reducing this wanton waste of life on the high ways, this calamitous toll of injuries and destruction of property, is your own effort to drive and walk safely and the common sense you use behind the wheel.
