Fishpond
Management
By H. L. Davis
Twenty years age there was
hardly a real farm pond in Geor
gia. Now they number over 30,-
000. Wheeler County has about
160 properly constructed ponds
with another 100 that will pro
duce fish — if proper manage
ment is followed.
Fertilization Pays. A proper
pond fertilization program will
serve two important purposes. It
will help produce large fish in a
short length of time and assist in
controlling pond weeds.
Microscopic plant and animal
life ,a link in the fish food chain,
is greatly increased by fertliliza
tion. When this food is plentiful,
the small fish flourish, they in
turn, furnish food for the la'rger
fish.
When the pond is properly fer
tilized, the water has- a “scupy
brown or greenish color. This
color cuts out the sunlight; there
fore, making it hard for weeds
and grass to grow.
Many pond owners say “I can’t
afford to fertilize my pond.” A
well fertililizer pond will yield
around four times as many
pounds of fish per acre as one
that is unfertilized.
Some pond owners fertilize the
lazy way. They dump several
hundred pounds of fertilizer in
at the time, then forget it the
rest of the year. This method
is of no value except to do more
harm than good. Instead, add fer
tilizer in the pond in required
amounts at regular intervals.
Most ponds need only about 1
sack of an 8-8-2 analysis per acre
per 7-10 days interval. After you
get desirable color, then the only
method is to check to see when
to add additional fertilizer.
A pond that fails to color under
this treatment try adding Agri
■ cultural limestone or hydrated
lime at rate of 50 pounds per
acre. Additional applications may
be necessary if the water is too
acid. This also should be in stages
instead of putting in too much I
at one time.
Guard against mistakes. Over ■
stocking, various kinds of fish, i
non-fertilization and non-fishing
are the most common causes cf,
pond failures.
Don’t stock anything except
the fish furnished by the hatch
ery. These fish and amounts are
enough.
Angler's "Bible"
Finding unexplored fishing territory this day and
time is more difficult than ever before.
Why?
People.
There’s nothing wrong in the world today that
a few less people would not cure.
But when it comes to fishing, there are many un
explored places in Georgia. The only trouble is no
body knows where to find them. Not until Howard
Zeller and his crew of fishery biologists charted vir
tually unexplored waters in their publication, “Geor
gia Fish and Fishing.”
Those anglers who do not already have a copy
of this fine publication should get one. It is
destined to become the “Angler’s Bible” for
Georgia.
Aside from a detailed description of major fishing
areas from Rabun’s Gap to Tybee’s Light, saltwater
included, the book has maps of access roads to the
choice fishing areas.
It also describes the several species of game
fish found in Georgia waters, tells you how to
catch them and even gives you the best months
of the year to angle on the state’s many lakes
1 and streams.
When you consider that Georgia has 257,933 acres
of major reservoirs, 2,818 miles of rivers, 700 miles
df cold water mountain streams for trout, approxi
mately 3,000 miles of small tributary streams and
over 40,000 farm ponds, there is plenty of room for
fishing even in this day of seemingly “overfished”
fishing holes.
The boater, too, will find Georgia Fish and Fishing
informative because there are maps of every large
impoundment and river in the state.
Add to this the location of boat docks, mari
’ nas, bait and tackle stores on the shoreline and
I boat launching ramps and you have information
that has been badly needed for several years.
A copy of Georgia Fish and Fishing may be ob
tained by writing the Game and Fish Commission,
401 State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia.
* * *
The Game and Fish Department’s fish manage
ment chief, Fred J. Dickson, will head a special study
of the coast with an eye toward providing better salt
water fishing.
Dickson is due to begin the research shortly
and report his findings to the Commission by
late spring or early summer.
Among the things Dickson will look into will be
the possibility of establishing artificial fish drops
to create better habitat for sport fish.
Fertiliize at regular intervals.
Using only the required amounts
throughout the spring and sum
mer months. The growing season
is from March to killing frost.
Too little or too soon fishing can
cause failure. Don’t fish a pond
for 1 year from the time the
bass or trout are stocked. Then
go easy on the bass. After you
are sure you have a good bass
hatch then fish hard anj regu
larly. Never return any bream to
the pond. If too little to eat de
stroy them.
If any problems arise contact

technician, The Georgia Game
and Fish Commission or the U.

MOST PARALYTIC POLIO CAN
BE PREVENTED BUT TOO
FEW HAVE HAD SHOTS
Os the 71 million Americans
under 21 years of age nearly one
out of every four has not received
the full series of Salk polio shots.
In those under five years of age
—the group most susceptible to
paralytic polio —about 38 per
cent have had less than three
shots. There’s plenty of vaccine
on hand so it isn’t a vaccine
shortage that’s 1 keeping the num
ber down.
The Salk vaccine is about 90
per cent effective, according toj
recent studies. People who hadi
three or more shots had one-I
tenth?the incidence of paralytic j
polio of those who had no vacci
nation. One or two shots gives
much less protection.
The Surgeon General’s Com
mittee on Poliomyelitis Control
recommends four shots. It sug
gests this schedule: a second shot
within one motnh of the first; a
third, seven months later and a
final shot one year later.
For infants it is usually recom
mended that polio shots be given
along with immunizing agents—
against diphteria, whooping i
cough and tetanus. i
The number of paralytic polio'
cases last year was 2,265. That’s i
a provisional figure because re
ports are still incomplete. But
that number is the lowest since
paralytic polio cases began to be
GAME
AND
FISH
By FULTON LOVELL
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
J tabulated in 1951. Two out of
i every five cases reported in 1960
। were in children under five.
i It ig now definite that the Sa
| bin oral polio vaccine won’t be
i available for general use in time
ifor the 1961 polio season. The
। vaccine, developed by Dr. Albert
! B. Sabin of Cincinnati, has been
I tested in many areas. There have
ibeen several recent large field
; trials which showed the vaccine
■ to be “effective and acceptable.”
: The Surgeon Geoneral’s ccmmit
i tee has recommended continued
] efforts to push early production
i and ready availability of the odal
; vaccine.
Dr. Thomas M. Rivers, medical
I director of The National Founda
; tion which generously supported
; development of both the Salk
! and Sabin vaccines, recently said
: safety regulations—which manu
facturers must meet—are holding
up production of the oral vaccine.
। It isn’t known how long im
| munity with either the Salk or
i the Sabin vaccines will last. But
I health authorities are fairly well
i agreed that if enough people are
! immunized against polio the di
: sease can be banished. They
| recommend that at least all per
[ sons under 40 should get four
; shots of the vaccine.
Dec MAG says:
1. Polio shots are safe and ef
j fective. ।
2. In the future an oral polio ■
I vaccine probably will be general-1
Ily available. But it won’t be j
। available in time to protect ■
against polio during the next
: polio season, which usually oc-.
| curs from June through Septem-1
:ber. So everyone — especially
1 children and adults under 40 —
should get a full series of Salk
shots.
"FARM CHATS"
By M. K. JACKSON
GEORGIA NEEDS
MORE SOYBEANS
There is an excellent market
for soybeans in Georgia. Wheeler
County farmers can take advan
tage of this market by producing
high, profitable yiels.
The principal source of protein
for mixed broiler and other feed
is soybeans. Oil mills use a lot
of soybeans, too.
Most of the soybeans used for
feeding broilers in Georgia are
imported from other states, and
Georgia farmers should not miss
the opportunity to produce them
here at home.
Georgia grew 93,000 acres of
soybeans in 1961* with an average
yield of 16^ bushels. It would
require 949,138 acres at this yield
just to produce the soybeans used
for broiler feed alone.
We could double the average
yield by following recommended
practices, according tc University
of Georgia College of Agriculture
experimental data. Even then, it
would take over 456,000 acres of
soybeans to provide for the
state’s brolier feed needs.
More information on soybean
production is available in the
county agent’s office.

PRECIOUS RESOURCES
BEING WASTED
Soil and water are two of
Georgia’s most precious resources,
yet we continue to waste them
at an alarming rate. The recent
heavy rains and flooding of
streams serve to emphasize the
great need for conservation.
Land plus water equal life!
Soil remains the main source for
what we eat, wear, the homes we
live in and cur ultimate happi
ness. History records that civili
zations can not exist unless they
have good soil and plenty of
water.
Population trends indicate that
15 years from now our nation
will need the following: 16.3 bil
lion pounds more red meat; 47
billion pounds more milk; 20.7
million tons more fruits and
vegetables; 20 billion more eggs;
100 percent more pulpwood and
60 percent more lumber.
All of these must come from
the soil we are dependent on what
the soil produces. We are today
faced with the problem of con
serving our soil and water so we
can feed and clothe a population
that will almost double in 35 to
40 years.
In a state like ours, where the
average yearly rainfall is 5 0
inches, it is difficult to realize
that we may face a water short
age in a few years. The demand
and competition for water by
agriculture, industry and the
home is increasing every day.
Just 15 years from now we will
need twice as much water as we
now use.
There is no end in sight to the
increasing demands on the soil
and water resources. The only
way we can be assured of a con
tinuous supply is by wise use and.
conservation.
WILDLIFE COURSE
FOR LANDOWNERS
Landowners who want to im
prove their hunting will be offer
ed a three-day short course in
management of both native and
pen-raised game at the University
of Georgia April 9-12.
The course ig not for profes
sional wildlife workers, but for
the average landowner who
wculd like to have more wild
life on his land.
It Would be a practical course
and will be conducted by experi
enced wildlife men who are spec
ialists in their fields.
The first day and a half will be
devoted to native quail, wild tur
key, water fowl and dove. The sec
ond half of the session will be de
voted to pen-raised game, with
f emphasis on quail. Other topics
will include kennel management,
I game bird production, research
and incubation.
This is believed to be the first
such all-inclusive course offered
in America for the layman, and
it is a good opportunity for
Georgians since it will be con
ducted right here in the state.
Registration for all or any part
will be $6.00.
For more information you can
write to John Mills, Center for
Continuing Education, University
of Georgia, Athens.
