Well Managed Stock
*Ponds Can Produce
Plenty of Fishing
Farmers can grow fish by the
acre of water just as they grow
beef by the acre on grassland.
This is the opinion of K. E. Cal-
lender, extension specialist in wild-
life conservation of Texas A&M
College.
According to Callender, from 300
to 500 pounds of fish to the acre
have been produced annually in
well-managed fish ponds and he
adds, many of the more than 100,-
000 farm and ranch ponds in
Texas, which are maintained pri-
marily for ptock water, are suit-
able for growing fish.
Callender points out that an
acre of water has a "carrying capa-
city," Just 'as an acre of grazing
land does. The amount of food pro-
duced in the water will depend
upon the fertility of the land over
which the water flows. Fertile land
means a fertile pond of water.
As first choice, he suggests us-
ing a mixture of 400 pounds of
cottonseed or soybean meal and
200 pounds of 20 percent super-
phosphate to the surface acre of
water for one year. Broadcast half
of this amount over the pond early
in the spring, and apply the rest
in 100-pound applications at four
to six week intervals.
