PLANS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF LARGE FISH HATC^fR"^ Richmond, Va., March 16.-"Plana for construction of South Carolina's largest fish hatchery by installation of twenty three roaring pools at Cheraw Recreational Demonstration Area, near Cheruw, have received approval add preliminary work will begin at once, according to an announcement made by the National Park Service at its regional headquarters here. >. The site for storage, rearing and forage ponds was selected after caroful surveys indicated it to be idoul for a hatchery because of favorable topography and the availability of & large supply of natural foods. Production will include redbreast, bream, crappio and large-mouth bass. Engineering plans provide for an earth dam across Dartlott Branch to j impound a 14-acre pond which will serve both as a rearing pool ami as a storage reservoir to supply water] through outlet ditches to twenty-three | smaller busius having a total area of approximately ten acres. A second dam will form a four-acre forage pool on Dine Branch where minnows will be reared for feeding larger species. Pish from the pools will be used in stocking a 300-acro lake on the demonstration area for which a dam is now more than 70 per cent complete. There aro seven other lakes in the surrounding region which statu officials plan to stock regularly. If there is any surplus it will be planted in Lynches river. Construction of the hatchery will be carried out by CCC and WPA crew workers under Joint supervision of the National Park Service and the South Carolina State Game and Fish Department, represented by Dr. J. E. Host, of Greer, who Is Director of Fish Culture. The state is supplying funds for materials to be used in the work and will maintain and operate the hatchery upon its completion. The Cheraw demonstration area, which adjoins the 720-acre Cheraw State Park, is one of forty-six similar projects distributed throughout the j nation to make available for recrea-1 tional use large tracts that have J proved unsuited to efficient agriculture. They are designed primarily to provide facilities for group pamps which will be used by community character-building and health-building organizations upon payment of ren-i tals sufficient to cover maintenance costs. In addition to developments for recreational use, standard conservation measures are applied to the areas to improve general land conditions as rapidly as possible and to safeguard against woodland fires, soil erosion, stream pollution and other dama^P? Purchased with federal funds, the lands are intended for inclusion, when developed, among properties administered by state government agencies.
