I Pajre Six THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thwraiay, Ju^e &, 19S5 CONSERVATION NOTES By J. B. O'DELL ConMrraiionisl Among the purposes of the visit of these specialist is an ef fort by the Soil Conservation Service to find, correlate and disseminate the most promising plants pertaining to soil and water conservation and good farming practices. • • • Ben and Maxie Hunter of the Lanford Community were assist- m ed this past week with the plant ing of ten acres of coastal Ber muda. The grass was planted on well grained bottom land that * had been cleared recently with a bulldozer and put into condit ion with a heavy duty disc har row. The district’s Bermuda planter was used in planting the grass. The Hunter Brothers were also doing a good job of stream chan- nell improvement on approxi mately one half mile of Warrior Creek which flows through their farm. They were removing trees, stumps, logs and other debris from the channel and also cutting back bushes and trees along the bank of the stream. This, in time, will allow’ the channel to wash out and deepen itself, giv ing it more capacity which will reduce the ovreflow damage to the adjoining bottom land. B. W. Crouch of the Mountville community last week cultivated and fertilized his three - acre planting of coastal Bermuda grass. Mr. Crouch has a good stand of grass and is giving it the right treatment to secure a complete sod establishment the first growing season. Early cultivation and fertiliza tion of Coastal Bermuda the first year is very important. Properly treated, it should cover the ground by August. How ever, unless you work it the first year, it may be three or four years before you get any returns from it. • • • M. M. Brown and J. E. Cliatt of Laurens, fertilized thier newly stocked fish pond last week, which is located on the farm of Carl Smith, six miles South of Laurens. This is the third application of fertilizer they have put on the pond this spring. They plan to fertilize it again within about ten days and then as often as necessary to keep the water col ored so that a bright object, such as a tin can lid, cannot be seen when 18 inches below the surface of the water. Ponds should be fertilized from early spring to late fall, using 100 pounds of a complete fertilizer, such as 8-8-4, per surface acre per application. Most ponds re quire from 800 to 1200 pounds of fertilizer for each acre every year. Messrs. Brown and Cliatt said that they were going right by “the book” in the management of their pond. If they do, I don’t believe they will be disappointed with the results. failure to teach their children how to use their idle time.” A normal child brought up under good influences is not us ually inclined toward a way ward path. Supreme Court Jus tice Clark is quoted as having said, “Every boy, in his heart, would rather steal second base recre- than an automobile.” A ation director recently remraked, ; “Give a child something worth while to do and the chances are Itha't he will do nothing worth less or harmful." ■ » The problem of juvenile delin quency is so serious that a com- i mittee of the United States Sen ate is making a study of it. Sta tistics reveal an alarming de gree of law violation by teen agers. But the outlook for the future is becoming brighter for steps are being taken to solve the problem. Increasing emphasis is beii\g placed upon worthy activities for v'outh, such as summer recrea tion programs, vacation camps, Boy and Girl Scout work. Not only service clubs and civic groups but also the churches are devoting greater attention to rec reational opportunities for young people. The public schools are giving more practical recognition to the importance of the play ground in the development of the ability to make profitable use of idle time.

B. Henderson of the Ow- ings community. Any pond will support some fish but a properly constructed and managed pond will produce many more. A pond must be deep enough; it must contain the right kind and num ber of fish and it should be free of pond weeds. Your pond can feed just so many pounds of fish per acre of water. The total weight of fish is governed by the fertility of the pond w-ater,'there fore, we must stock, fertilize and fish our ponds with the pounds of fish per care as our guide. Mr. Henderson says: “My pond was stocked with bream in the fall of 1949 at the rate of 1,000 per acre. Bass were stocked in the spring of 1950 at the rate of 100 per acre. Over 200 pounds of fish have been caught out of my one and one-half acre pond htis year. This is not a guess— I kept records. 165 bass, aver aging 14 ounces each (with some weighing as much as 5 1-2 pounds), and 100 bream, averag ing 5 ounces each (some have weighed as much as one pound or more) have been caught.” Mr. Henderson fertilizes his pond; beginning early in the spring and continues until late fall. Fertilizer applied in a pond accomplishes three things: first, It greatly increases the food for fish; second, it controls sub merged, pond weed; an d third, it makes fishing more successful. Begin fertilizing in the early spring with 100 pounds of a com plete fertilizer (8-8-4), per acre. If you use 3-9-9. 4-10-6, or 3-12- 12. add 20 pounds of sodium ni trate or ammonium sulfate. Ap ply this amount once a week until the water becomes colored to the extent that a bright ob ject (such as bucket lid) cannot be seen 12 to 18 inches below the surface of the water. After the water has reached the proper color you can tell when addition al fertilizer is needed by check ing your pond every week or so with the bright object. To get best results, never let the water clear up enough that the bright object can readily be seen. A pond will require from 800 to ’ 1200 pounds of fertilizer for each acre every year. A pond with considerable water running through it will need the heavier ! application. * The farm pond is only a part o? Mr. Henderson’s soil and water conservation plan. The Soil Con- ! servation Service technicians, in cooperation with the Laurens County Soil Conservation Dis trict, assisted Mr. Henderson on site selection, construction fea tures, and management of his pond. Fish were secured through the U. S. Department of Interior. Fish and Wildlife Service. Youth's Idle Time By JAMES C. KINARD l “Its J ust Your N tt erves Many people are told quietly that “it’s just your nerves” as if nothing could be done for nervous dis orders. A woman, age 27, came to this clinic suffering with a nervous condition, which had been diagnosed as “it’s just your nerves.” The nervous condition is now gone. Don’t give up. Come here and get your ‘nerves’ straightened out. Hart Chiropractic 245 Chareh St — LAURENS, 8.
