A common scene in Laurens county. Technicians of the Soil
Conservation Service have helped farmers build 1!|0 farm ponds
in the county during the past ten years. These ponds not only
provide a source of food and recreation, but save soil and water
while doing it.
per acre when the pond is fer
tilized and one-half this number
for unfertilized ponds, Mr. O’Dell
said.
Since the beginning of the dis
trict’s pond program, about ten
years ago; the technicians of the
Soil Conservation Service have
helped county farmers with the
building of 120 farm ponds. These
ponds cover a surface area of ap
proximately 180 acres, and if
properly managed are capable of
producing 54,000 pounds of fisn
per year, says Mr. O’Dell.
A pond is like a pasture, it can
support only so much weight. This
weight may be in thousands of
fish too small to eat or in a small
er number of usable fish. 'Hiis in
dicates that it pays to fertilize
ponds, but it is also good to fish
them, too.
The principle is just like thin
ning pines. Remove some of them
so the others can grow. If food is
available that is what will happen
with fish. As some are caught the
little ones have more food, grow
more rapidly, and soon restore the
weight of fish in ponds that the
poud will support.
Mr. O'Dell says many pond own
ers make the mistake of over
stocking or not fertilizing enough,
and consequently ruin pond for
fishing for many years, if not for
ever. Oh the other hand, he said,
if they will properly stock with
blue-gill and bass at the start, and
follow approved methods of keep
ing the pond clean and well fer
tilized they can enjoy good fish
ing from now on.
In addition to turnishing food
and recreation, these ponds serve
many other uses such as water for
livestock, irrigation, fire protec
tion and swimming. -
Then too, perhaps the farm
ponds most valuable contribution
is erosion control and its ability
to stop, and -store runoff water at
its source—before it moves into
streams and rivers to be lost for
ever.
Gl course, SCS planners point
out that the drainage area which
feeds the pond should be protect
ed with adequate conservation
treatment preferably permanent
cover, to help absorb water and
prevent pond being filled with
silt. The dam and spillway also
need protection that vegetation
provides.
Great strides are being made in
the scientific management of
ponds. It pays to manage ponds
right just as it pays to manage
pastures or pines right, Mr. O’Dell
states. And wheriT a suitable site
for a farm pond exist, no better
use can be made erf such land than
to develop it for the production of
fish and the many other uses of a
farm pond, he added.

COLUMBIA—A gradual shift in
population from fural to urban
areas has been taking place in
South Carolina since 1880 and the
trend has accelerated in recent
1 >ars. ^
A study on “Population Growth
South Carolina" by Dr. Robert
W. Paterson of the University of
South Carolina economics depart
ment, shows that the rapid growth
of cities which show a population
increase of 190 per cent since 1900,
in comparison with the relatively
slow growth of the total population
“will continue to exert a strong
influence upon the social, econom
ic, spiritual, educational and po
litical structure of the state."
Writing in the University’s Busi
ness and Economic Review, Dr.'
Paterson reports that while only
one-rfourth of the state’s popula
tion lived in urban centers in
1940, ten years later the percent-
tae had increased to one-third.
This movement to the cities is
caused by changes in the produc
tion activities. Agriculture is no
longer the dominant industry and
manufacturing and other non-agri
cultural industries, which are
closely related to urban areas, are
increasing in importance.
The South, which exports popu
lation, continues to have the high
est fertility rate, but lags behind
the nation as a whole in percent
age of population ihcrease.
According to the 1950 census,
nine South Carolina rural coun
ties have fewer people than they
did in 1900, due mainly to a com
parative decline in agricultural
productivity. This trend is expect
ed to continue as manufacturing
attracts workers to the cities from
suhmarginal agricultural areas.
Counties showing the greatest
declines between 1900 and 1950
are Barnwell, 51 per cent; Edge-
field, 35; Atobeville, 33; Fairfield,
26; Hampton, 24; and Beaufort,’
24.
Counties showing the greatest
increases are Greenville, 214;
Richland, 213; Spartanburg, 129;
Pickens, 107; Florence, 180; and
Horry, 156.
In most South Capojina cities
the population has doubled or
tripled in the past fifty years. In
Florence and Greenville it has al
most quadrupled. Only in Charles
ton has the population increase
been comparatively small.
Following are the figures for
Laures county:
Laurens: 37,382; 41,550; 42,560;
42,094; 44,195; 46,974. .
Good Stands
Cotton Reported
Throughout State
Good stands of cotton are be
ing reported throughout the
state. Reports received by the
Clemson Extension Cotton com
mittee indicate that a combina
tion of the use of good seed,
proper placement of fertilizers,
and favorable weather has giv-i
en growers excellent stands. |
The committee cautions that j
these stands must be maintained
if growers are to produce a “Balej
ot More in , 54."
The committee says that to
maintain good stands growers
should delay thinning until all
danger of seedling losses is past.
As a final stand farmers should
leave three stalks per hill with
hills 8 to 12 inches apart, should
guard against careless chopping,
and should control weeds and
grass by e&rly shallow cultiva
tion.
The committee especially em
phasizes the necessity for leav
ing plenty of stalks, during "the
thinning process. Estimates are
thaj growers of the state usually
leave an average of only 27,000
plants per acre. The committee
points out that for higher yields
growers shold leave at least 45,-
000 to 65,000 stalks per acre. By
leaving three stalks every 8 to
12 inches, the recommended
number of stalks per acre will be
left. Gro\Mers are reminded that
some plants will likely be lost
after the initial thinning; so
more than the final desired num
ber should be left at the start.
Rotary hoes and weeders are
great labor and time savers and
are excellent for use in control-
