Fish-Ponds Stocked
By Jimmy James
District Conservationist
Largemouth bass were deliver
i ed to ten Wheeler County cooper
ators of the Ohoopee River Soil
and Water Conservation District
on May 23, 1969. These landown
ers had received bluegill bream
and shellcrackers in the fall of
1968 and will receive channel cat
fish in the summer to complete
the stocking of their ponds. If a
good fertilization program is fol
lowed. good fishing can be had
in these ponds by June 1, 1970.
Mr. John McDaniel, Edwin
Rocker and W. S Clark received
fingerlings for stocking new ponds
and the remaining ponds have
j been properly drained and treated
with rotenone during the fall of
1968.
Any Wheeler County landown
'er can receive a stocking of fish
j free provided he drains his pond
• completely and treats the small
ij remaining pools with rotenone,
s, Ponds should be drained in the
- j mid-summer to allow sufficient
? time for water to accumulate by
; j November when bream and shell
- crackers are stocked
। Contact me if I can be of serv
-' ice to you, regarding your fish-
ponds.
Lace Bugs
i
By David H. Williams
Lace bugs are considered major
pests on azaleas during the sum
’ mertime. Nymphs and adults suck
sap from the underside of leaves.
This causes a grayish, stippled or
blanched appearance to the upper
surface. Plants become unsightly.
; and their growth is greatly re
duced.
i In addition to the insects, you
:: will find shed skins and dried
specks of excrement on the un-
, derside of infested leaves.
If evidence of lace bugs is found
■ here is what to do for control.
Mix two teaspoons of dimethoate
' (Cygon 2E) or one tablespoon of
' malathion 57 percent emulsifiable
: concentrate with each gallon of
j water. Direct the spray nozzle so
• that the undersides of leaves are
I thoroughly covered with the
1 spray.

Fish That Doesn't
Exist
By Rebecca M. Walker
! One of the plentiful foods
Wheeler County homemakers will
find at the grocery store this
month is a fish that doesn't exist.
How can that be?
Well, the non-existant fish is
the sardine. And the word “sar
dine” is a collective word for a
variety of soft boned herring
1 ’ caught in many waters and
‘ packed in a number of ways.
The Clupea Harengus or At
' lantic herring — best known as
f sardine —is one of the most abun
' dant and important food fish in
* the North Atlantic. And since the
‘ Maine coast is the center of the
’ U. S. sardine industry, the pop
-1 ular little fish are usually called
Maine sardines.
’ Why not serve your family sar
। dines during May. Supplies are
5 abundant. Plentiful foods are us
; ually wise menu choices for fam
-1 ilies trying to trim their food bud
s gets.
Here's a tip for a special sar
- dine mealtime treat — Sardine
i Puff. Here is what you will need.
1 Two cans (3\ or 4 ounces each)
I Maine sardines.
Eight slices white bread. One
e, and one-half tbs. butter or
1 \ margarine. ’« C chopped
r green pepper. h C shredded
sharp natural Cheddar cheese.
3 eggs, H teaspoon salt, U
-. teaspoon dry mustard. Pepper
-i as desired. 2 cups milk. Pap-
rika.
Drain the sardines and cut into
thirds. Next, remove the crusts
from the bread, spread it with
butter or margarine and cut bread
into one-half inch cubes. Place
half the bread cubes in a well
greased two inch deep 12 by 8
inch baking dish. Cover with sar
dines. green pepper and half the
cheese. Top with remaining bread
cubes and cheese.
Beat the eggs, salt mustard and
pepper. Add milk and mix well
Pour this mixture over the bread
and sprinkle with paprika
Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45
to 50 minutes, or until firm in the
center. Remove from the oven
and let stand five minutes before
serving. Serves six.
LOTS TO CLEAN
As I travel around the county.
I find more and more women do
ing their spring cleaning Some
have finished, others are in the
process.
Too often we spend a lot of,
time worrying about all the little
areas which need cleaning. How
about biggest areas in your home?
Yes. I am talking about your;
walls. They contain more square
’ footage and present the widest;
variety of materials to clean. And,
there's no no easy way to keep
walls clean. But a few simple
tricks can make the job a little
more bearable.
First, use soft water. Iron and
minerals in hard water actually
add grime. If you have hard wa
ter, add a commercial water soft- •
ener to the cleaning water. Be
sure to follow package directions.
Wash the walls from the bottom
toward the ceiling. If you start at
the ceiling, excess water can drib
ble down the wall and leave •
‘ stricks which are hard to get rid i
’ of. Use cool, soft water and a
gentle cleaner. Be sure not to;
' rub too hard or use too much
water even on washable wall
paper
A safety tip on wall cleaning
! is in order. Don't stand on tottery
' chairs or stools. A sturdy, light
weight step-ladder is a good in
vestment and can save a bad fall.
It is better to move the ladder
often than to reach too far and
: fall.
' ITS A FACT!
Few things are more dangerous
- than a train of thought that car
j ries no freight.

Make the
Great Escape.
Switch to a
flameless electric heat pump
If your home is uncomfortable even one day out of the
year, you have the wrong heating and cooling system.
If you spend five minutes in 10 years adjusting a thermo*,
stat, you have the wrong heating and cooling system.
The right system is an electric heat pump. In cold
weather, the beat pump keeps you warm. Anywhere is
your house. And the heat pump cools and dries the air
inside w hen it’s hot and sticky outside.
When you first get a heat pump, you set the thermostat
at the temperature you want. When the seasons change,
the heat pump automatically switches from heating to
cooling to maintain that temperature. You don't have to
touch anything. Or call anyone.
Make the Great Escape. Make this the year you switch,
to an electric heat pump.
