Farmers Ice Fuel Co Telephone 155 A GOOD 1953 IS SEEN FOR THE FARM By D. W. WATKINS (Director S. C. Extension Service) CLEMSON, Jan. 3—Many fore casts concerning the year 1953 have been made and such a large percentage of them are favorable, with the exception of certain parts of the farm picture, that it is easy to feel optimistic. The “Happy New Year” to mankind through out the Christian world seems to be economically possible to an un usual degree in the New Year. To be realistic we shall recog nize the "squeeze” in agriculture ,which has become progressively tighter for the past five years and is now the basic reason for the continued decline in the number of farmers in this country. What farm people can do about the squeeze caused by relatively de clining prices of farm products and rising prices of farm needs and labor varies from farm to farm and has been set forth rath er fully by those who make a study of this subject. In addition to the great problem of world peace a number of other matters affecting the future lives of rural people in South Carolina deserve careful consideration at the beginning of this year. May we suggest a few of them. With splendid progress being made in roads, schools, and com munications what is being done to maintain community spirit and pride in farm and roadside beauti fication, church and burial ground improvement, and in other local institutions? How ^fast are we moving to provide rural tele phones now so necessary to those who want to stay in the current stream of life? With the high cost of human labor how many rural people are failing to multi-, ply the power of their own hands by using electrical and other power driven machinery and equip ment to lessen the drudgery and do the productive work in their homes and on their farms? 2739 SIZES No. 3730 Is cut in sizes 14%.

COUNTS Newberry County farmers are learning that a fisherman’s para dise can be right on his very own farm and not a pipedream of some far away place. They have found that a fish pond with a variety of fish can become a reality without too great an expenditure of time or money. Already 43 ponds have been built in the county according to T. B. Amis, soil technician, with the Newberry Soil Conservation Ser vice, who has supervised the con struction and stocking of the ponds. Mr. Amis said 64,120 brim were ordered during the year, but only 34,020 have been received to date and they were used in the stocking of 27 of the ponds. In addition to the brim on order a large number of bass have been ordered for spring delivery. A few of the ponds were con structed in 1950, some few were built in 1951 and the majority were in 1952. Mr. Amis said the first ponds built and stocked are already producing excellent fish ing for their owners. The average pond is about one and a quarter acres. The total 43 ponds in the county cover a total of around 53 acres. A large num ber are listed to be built in 1953. Mr. Amis said fish ponds serve many purposes for their owners. They can be used for stock water ing, fishing, irrigation, fire pro tection and recreation. Farm fam ilies need recreation and a fish pond is hard to beat for that pur pose, according to Mr. Amis. For tunate too, he said, is the farmer who provides his farm with a fish pond. A fish pond makes for better living on the farm, A simple acre of water can be made to yield from 150 to 450 pans of pan fish each year. To produce them will cost only a few cents per pound. Fish is an important food and is reported to contribute to the strength and soundness of the Na tion’s rural youth, according to statistics. CAN CONTAIN LIMIT A fish pond that is properly built and fertilized will contain its limit of fish by the second year. From then on the more they are fished, the better the fishing results, however, In ponds properly started should provide good fish ing within a year, according to Mr. Amis. He also pointed out that a fish pond must be started right from the very beginning and managed properly for best re sults. It must be deep enough, he said, and it must be free of pond weeds and the watershed should be protected by carrying out soil conservation measures. Mr. Amis said fertilizing a fish pond accomplishes three things; it increases the food supply for the fish controls submerged pond weeds and makes fishing more successful. Also important is the control of waterweeds because they interfere with fishing and are of no bene fit to the fish for food or cover. Clean banks and surroundings ad jacent to the pond add not only to the looks of the pond but to general enjoyment of fishing. It also helps keep down the undesir able weeds that Infest many ponds and also reduces the breeding places of mosquitoes. A good site for a pond is also important. This factor with proper management offers a rewarding satisfaction to fish pond owners in supplying fresh fish at all times for his table as well as an enjoy able means of recreation.
