ENGINEER GIVES
ADVICE ON
FARM PONDS
Good Planning
Important in
Construction
(By Simon Krock, Agri
cultural Engineer, Soil
Conservation Service)
In the past few years several
thousand farm ponds nave been
constructed by farmers all over
Georgia. Each year many more
hundreds are being built.
Each farmer has a different
purpose or reason for building
his farm pond. Some ponds are
being constructed to serve as a
source of fresh fish for the fa
mily table. Others are build to
supply stock water or water for
irrigation. Still others are con
structed for spraying or for fire
protection. Many are used for a
combination of these reasons.
Whatever the planned use or
uses of the farm pond, a good
site, a properly designed dam
and good construction are essen
tial if the pond is to provide ade
quate service and a long life.
In the selection of the site for
a farm pond the farmer should
keep in mind several important
factors. The best site is one that
permits the largest storage of
water with the least embank
ment. It should have a suitable
location for a vegetative storm
spillway. The area draining into
the pond should be properly pro
tected against erosion. Failure to
control erosion on the watershed
causes silting in the pond with
the subsequent loss of water stor
age capacity.
The site of the proposed dam
should be throughly investigated
bv those trained in this work.
This investigation should deter
mine the suitability of the mater
ial underneath the dam and the
floor of the pond to prevent seep
age.
A satisfactory investigation
should include the location of
good material for the construction
of the dam. The best material for
a dam is that having a mixture
of sharp well graduated sand,
70-95 percent; plastic clay, 30-5
nercent; and enough silt to mix
both well.
With the site decided upon, the
farmer should have the necessary
designs for a satisfactory pond
dam. They should be based on
the watershed area of the pond,
the area of the pond itself as
well as the proposed depth of the
pond. The top width of any dam
should not be less than 8’ and the
side slopes, depending on the
material being used, should not
be less than 2:1. A cut of seal
should be made to reduce seep
age and, when the best material
is not available, a core wall of
selected material should be pro
vided. A vegetative storm spill
way, properly designed, should be
cut to take care of excess water
that flows into the pond during
heavy rains. Where there is con
siderable hillside seepage or
stream flow long enough to cause
damage to the vegetative spill
way a trickle tube spillway suf
ficient to carry this damaging
flow should be installed.
With the necessary designs a
farmer can construct an excell
ent farm pend that will give him
an adequate supply of water for
any objective he may have.
Any farmer who vnshes can ob
tain help in* the selection, of .the
site; us well as the right designs
by consulting the loca 1 Soil Con

SWISS CITIZEN
DIES IN CRASH
NEAR NAHUNTA
Oscar Reto Wagner, a citizen of
Switzerland, was killed when his
car smashed into another auto about
a mile south of Nahunta Saturday,
Jan. 22.

TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
Bv Bernice McCullar, State
Department of Education
Do you have children in
school? If you do, they are among
925,088 students enrolled in
Georgia schools today. Enroll
ments have grown like Jack’s
beanstalk. “Why?” I asked Dr.
Claude Purcell, new assistant
state superintendent of schools.
“High birthrates, especially dur
ing the war years, more people
moving into Georgia, a twelfth
grade added with more seniors
graduating than ever before in
history, better courses that give
the schools greater holding pow
er, and the first ten years of the

Colds Commit
Yearly ‘Robbery’
In Georgia
That cold you have is highway
robbery in broad daylight.
If you are a wage earner, colds
rob you of about nine dollars a
year in medicines and time out
Whatever your occupation, -they
steal from your health and
wealth.
In spite of the fact that there
are as yet no kn^wn drugs to
prevent or cure colds—not even
the currently popular antihista
mines which give some comfort
but not cure—there are helpful
things for people to understand
and do about them. These are
described interestingly in detail
in the January issue of Georgia’s
Health. monthly publication of
the Georgia Department of Public
Wealth.
One “Rom^dv” After Another
As far ba^k as medical records
go, the bulletin states, p n ople
have tried one “remedy” after
another. They have fed or starv
ed a cold, gone on fruit juice
diets, swallowed vitamin pills,
toV-on p VP rv advertised cure.
Kiss at Your Own Risk
We get colds only from other
people, says the bulletin. When
a person is coming down with a
cold the secretions in his mouth
and nose contain great numbers
n* cold viruses, or germs. The
first two or three days are most
dangerous to others. Colds are
caught by inhaling spray from
coughs or sneezes, by kissing a
person who has a cold, by using
a freshly soiled glass or towel,
or bv nutting germ-laden hands
to the mouth.
Trv These Measures
To avoid colds, avoid people
who have them; wash hands
tkorouPhly and often: use clean
towels- and don’t depend on
F-iqo remedies. If you have a
'mid t^ke vour doer’s advice

horse.
Dr. M. D. Collins, who has been
state superintendent of school?
for 22 years and usuallv has with
him a cigar and a smile, knows
more people by name than any
other person in Georgia, they
tell me. Some say he knows
more folks than Jim Farley. He
h^s a famous slogan that he re-
ts d v in and day out: “Edu
cation does not cost It pays.”
Folks in the State Department
of Education gave him a new
suit, hat and tie for Christmas,
and to Mrs. Collins—who is in
the hospital—an electric blan
ket. honing that it will help her
arthritis.
Up here in Atlanta, we are
getting ready to welcome your
legislator whom you are sending
to Atlanta in January. Have you
talked over with him what you
want for your children’s educa
tion? He probably wants the
same thing for his youngsters.
Legislators say they like to know
what you think and feel about
the problems that confront us
all—and that’s a mighty wise at
titude.
Note to you; Whenyou are in
Atlanta, come by the State De
partment of Education to see us.
