If too many fl^h added It may take an long as Ave s or more for the fish to reach above weights. Considerably betfeeaults are secured If several specI of hah are placed In the same fe. When a pond is stocked .with m only, as soon as these bream 1 educe It becomes so overcrowded the Bmall flsh are unable to grow feuao of lack of food. If the cor number of bass are added to the containing bream they will feed the surplus and thus help to pre overcrowding. be number of fiBh to be added de ds upon the number of pounds ctl the pond tsan support. - In-gen unfertilised ponds will support a 500 to 600 pounds. An acre of fer, If not fertilized, should be ked with 400 bream and fifty bass; fertilized, it should be stocked with Kaximum of 1,600 bream and 200 K. If is desired to also add cat to the pond tne most suitable feles appears to be the common head catfish. For each 25 catflBh Bed, reduce the number of bream fee added by 100. Bhe best results have been secured fetocking with fry or flngerllng flsh near the same size as possible, fe should bo done bo that all will Be an equal start since these young compete with each other for food. feuch poorer results may be ex-' ted if the pond is stocked with a large brood flsh as this usually | Hilts in overstocking as soon as Be fish have spawned. If this kasj boeu dono It Is often better to drain the pond after spawuing and remove all except the correct number of email fish. In addition to the above tlah every pond ehould be stocked with Gainbusla (top water) minnow* at the rute of at least 100 per acre. Ttyeao aid greatly In controlling mosquitoes and are excellent food for bass. They can usually beat be secured from neigh* boring ponds or lily pools. Restocking old pouds: After a poud has once been properly-stocked with fish, it should /not need restocking. Experiments at Auburn have shown that if only one pair of Jaream or bass are present per acre of water they cah produce more small fish than the pond can support. In older ponds poor fishing is not due to lack of sufficient brood stock, but usually to the presence of considerable number of large fish which are too wary to bite and which eat up moBt of the small fish produced in the pond. When this condition occurs, good fishing can best be regained by draining the pond, removing all the fish and returning just the right numbers of small fish after refilling the pond. The large fish should not be returned to the water. Weed control; As was mentioned above, the majority of food in the pond is furnished by microscopic plants which float in the water. It has been found possible to raise as high as 580 pounds of flBh per acre in ponds which do not contain any of the larger water plants such as water mosses, water lilies and pond weeds. These larger plants are of very little value In ponds and most of them are detrimental. In new ponds they should be. pulled out whenever they appear. Most of them are easy to control if not allowed to get thoroughly established. After they are once established, it is practically Impossible to get rid of them without draining the pond and allowing the bottom to dry out for several weeks or longer. Bhc cured early-case of tuberculoH as a rule is re-employable. The advanced case, as a rule, 1'i wit-nerea employment ana ire1y is unemployable. FINAL DISCHARGE ?????

The report said the committee had "carefully investigated the status of workmen's compensation insurance as now carried in South Carolina, and has found that there is a considerable spread between the amount of losses Incurred. "Statistics . . . indicate that the premium income to the companies carrying th!a m?nirnnr?? amounts to approximately $1,900,000 annually, while losses incurred are in the neighborhood of $700,000. "Twenty or more states are successfully operating the Insurance feature of the workmen's compensation and have in practically every instance; been able to build up a substantial reserve fund, or to reduce materially the rates of such insurance. "The committee believes that the operation of this business on a monopolistic basis'by the state of South Carolina would yield a profit of approximately $1,200,000 annually and that . . . the general fund Of this slate could reasonably expect to realize $750,000 annually from this source on the basis of present rates. Occupational and business licenses have "been used for a number of years by the states of North Carolina, Tennessee and others," the committee said, in suggesting that they "be fixed in line wtih those of other states . . ." Final Polo Game . - Sunday afternoon The curtain will fall on Camden's 1938-1939 polo season at the number one polo field Sunday afternoon when the Camden-Augusta foursome takes on the allCamden four In what promises to be the best polo clash of the year. The hundreds of spectators who took advantage of the Junedike weather last Sunday to witness the first game of this series, declared it to be the finest demonstration of polo offered this year and are anticipating another treat next Sunday. The duo-city team, consisting of players from the? Camden and Augusta clubs, had a two goal handicap allowance last week and It was this margin that enabled them to nose out all-Camden outfit by a 6 to 4 score. It was "Long" Joe Bates, the plumed Knight of Wateree, and member of the local club, who scored all the goals for the winners. The final counter was made by Joe after the bell had sounded in the last chukker and it waa this tally that decided the game. The game this Sunday, marking the finale of the greatest polo season In Camden history, will bring the follow-! lng players Into action: For the allCamden team, Tupper will work at No. 1, DuBose at No. 2, Ldghtfoot at No. 3 and Robertson at back. The Camden-Augusta foursome will have Burns at No, 1, Wagner at No. 2, Mtnnlck at No. 8 and Bates at back. i Miss Naomi Newsome, lovely darkeyed co-ed from Branchrllle, has been chosen to reign as May queen at the University of South Carolina this year.

Not having dressed up for over a year, 1 found that i hud gained ti lbs. in weight and that caused the tux to almost squeeze me to deuth around tho waist-band, but 1 finally got it buttoned. 1 had to wear a pair of new shoes. They pinched everything from my aukles dowu. Never suffered so much since 1 was run through a threshing machine in 1909. My collar was likewise too tight and also too sawtoothhy. With the aid of one wife and one^ daughter and 3 shoe hooks, 1 finally "UptHt buttoned around my neck. \ <* ) Ouch, that dollar!

She forgot the Bald neighbor till we had walked thru the door into the reception hall at the place where we were being recepted. We all rushed out to go and get the neighbor. The receptors, never did know what in the world had happened. But we got back in duo time, as well as in plenty of time, Just as the clock on the mantel-board chimed mid-night. All of the women including my old i lady, looked s.\vell in their long, flowing gowns, cut dangerously low in front as well as behind. We had a fine time, and I was repaid for tho suffering being dressed up caused tne. I am glad though that 1 have to wear tuxes only about once a year.
