FARM POND MANAGEMENT A minnow seine used in June, July, or August, will settle most of your arguments about fish in farm ponds with no more than a few minutes effort. When you request fish to stock a pond, even a new one, a min now seine pulled through the wa ter’s edge will reveal the kinds of fish present. If there are any little bluegills or other sunfish in the seine — then there will be more than 1,000 or 1,500 per care which otherwise would be sought for stocking the pond. Many thousand of hatchery fish are wasted annually by being placed in ponds already adequately stocked with either the right or wrong find of fish. How do fish find their way into ponds? Most commonly they are there because people finding It hard to be patient until the fall deliveries of fish “Just put in a few but didn’t know they would spawn so soon.” Fish also get into ponds by natural means: “A Pilgrim'S While the bosk is as er read and scarcely ever tioned, the thought is as old as time.

If you want to be sure your new bass have spawned so you can begin catching those of use- able size, look with the minnow seine. Even though you catch no more than one or two bass of finger length you can be sure there are more than enough throughout the pond to replace the “big ones’’ you can catch. If in May, June, or July, you find no fingerling bass, there is something wrong and you would do well to obtain 100 bass per acre for fertilized ponds. Once in balance, the bass will continue to regulate their own number and that of the bluegill, provided you keep out water weeds. If we can help you with your pond problems, contract us. EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishop Herbert Spaugh A correspondent from Norfolk, Va., put it this way, “Life is not a problem to be solved but rath er a pilgrimage to shrine.” An book “Doug Brown’s must clear away hundreds of pairs of famous-brand shoes at greatly REDUCED PRICES in their big annual sales jamboree!

Charactars appear who art nam ed from the various emotions and temptations which face us in life. The great moment in the book is when Pilgrim, carrying on his back a huge bundle of worries and sins, comes to the Cross, where his burden is cut from him and rolls away. This is presented in an old hymn which many of us know, “Alas, And Did My Saviour Bleed.” the chorus of which reads, “At the Cross, at hte Cross, where I first saw the light and the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received toy sight, And now I am happy all the day!” Some of you who read this col umn have in times past exper- rienced the burden of your heart rolling away at the Cross, when by faith in Him who died on the cross for your sins, you received your sight. Many have lost the faith and are in darkness again. Others never had the experience. How did you lose it? You allowed the light of faith to go out. I’ve just had a vivid illustration of this. In order to get the exact words of this old chorus, I walked over Church on the Lane to find an to the Chapel of the Little A Church on the Lane to find an old British writer long ago wrote. ol( | hymn book. The Chapel is expressing this idea. It ununinate the Cross on the altar. are two electric candles which illumine the Cross on the tltar. I noticed that the Chapel was in semi-darkness. The light bulb in one of the candles had burned out. I immediately replaced it. If I had neglected this, eventual ly the bulb in the other candle would have burned out, and there would have been complete darkness. The candle of our faith so of ten goes out as a result of neg lect, and ere long we find our selves walking and living in darkness. The light of faith must be kept burning brightly if we com plete our pilgrimage to the Ce- lestian City, to the Shrine of God. Are your burdens heavy? If the light of faith dim in your life? Don’t let your candles burn out. If you do, darkness will de scend, worries will burden you, and your pilgrimage will be slow ed down an even come to a halt. There is another hymn in this old book which some of you may recall: '‘The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin, The light of the world is Jesus . . These old hymns of faith bring light for our pilgrimage to the Shrine of God. Miss Carrie Watson Enoree—Miss Carrie E.
