We are asked quite a few
questions about the proper
stocking of farm ponds and
lakes with fish and hope the
following will clear up seme of
the questions. It has been ob¬
served that most of our ponds
contain too many fish. Fish
grow rapidly when they get
enough foed, but you must re¬
member the supply of fish food
|is limited in every pond. When
fish are too plentiful they get
enough food to remain alive but
not enough tc grow.
Blue gills and large-mouth
■bass are best for most farm
ponds. The large-mouth bass
will keep the small fish under
con t r o 1. Some pond owners

cause trouble. Crappie, which
are also known as white perch
are not suitable for small
ponds. Unless your pend or lake
is larger than five acres and
has considerable deep water
you will be disappointed with
them. Catfish are not success¬
fully managed because the bass
eat too many of the little cat¬
fish in weedless ponds; and
without bass they become too
abundant.
Bass feed largely cn little
fish including their own young,
thus they prevent overpopula¬
tion in the pond. This principle

to feed cn. The correct stock¬
ing rate for fertilized pond is:
100 bass fingerlings and between
1,000 and 1,500 bluegill finger-
lings per surface acre of water.
The bluegill are put in the p»nd
in the fall and the bass the fol¬
lowing spring. This stocking
rate is to great if you fail to
fertilize the pond properly.

Return From Rock Eagle
Thirty-four Dade County

py over their experiences
accomplishments. Dade
was very well represented.
Bobby Rauls ton and
Ballard were elected chiefs

McMahan and Ernest
meyer were elected
chiefs. J. W. Johnson was
member of the tribe that stack¬
ed up the most points during
the entire week. L. C.
County Agent, was t h e agent
leader of the Blackfeet Warrior
Tribe which won m:re points
during the week than any other
Senior tribe. This tribe had as

Trutlen County and this young
lady was a real leader. She also
was elected Co-High Chief by
other Chiefs at a meeting on
Tuesday night.
Others from Dade County in
the Blackfeet Warricr tribe were
Sam Kenimer, Gene Castleber¬
ry and Virginia Konrad who
served as an adult leader. The
leaders participated in all
events and were called on to
help out in any situation.
F. N. Belk, Jr. was very help¬
ful with the boys in his cottage.
He taught them some valuable
things abouTwrestling and good
sportsmanship. Mr. F. N. Belk,
Sr. came by the camp and had
dinner with the gr o u p on
Thursday.

Some Master Art of Swimming
A large number of the 4-H
members . had . , swimming . in-
structicns and , many of r them „
reported that they mastered the
art of swimming while attending
camp. It was nothing unusual
to see any number of objects
being displayed by Evade 4-H’ers
that they had made during
crafts class. Objects made were:
leather belts, baskets,
kaleidoscopes and others.
Campers went to tiwo
groups each day. Besides
and swimming other
taught were: Spiritual

When we mention outdoor

one 4-H’er from Dade who was
very much interested in this
particular interest group. These
classes consisted of teaching
this process from fire building
right up to the meal. Billy Kon¬

returning from this trip and
these trying it out decided that
he had mastered the art very
well.
Miss Hubble Talent Judge
Ginny McMahan, Janie Cure-
ton, Barbara Kyzer and Rita
Lee Jenkens were on the ta¬
lent shew held the last night
and did a very good job. Naomi
Hubble, Home Demonstration
Agent, was selected as one of
the judges for this show. Se¬
veral boys and girls from Dade
helped serve meals during the
week.
Mary Foster, who is a niece of
our County Health Nurse, was
co-director for the camp this
week and all of the boys and
girls felt that she did a wonder¬
ful job.
The foed was excellent and
everyone who attended thinks
that we should have camp at
least twice a year.
Among the Dade group was
Ed Rice, who was not included
in the list published last week.
