FISH POND MANAGEMENT
by T. H. McBay
Coopcrators and landowners
that have farm ponds stocked
with fish should manage for
quality fish production. Stock-
ing a pond with fish is only one
step toward producing quality
fish. Other factors that should
be considered are the kind of
pond needed specie of fish to
be stocked breeding area water
weed control if needed fertili-
zation and food supply.
Source of water dhould be
given consideration before a
fish pond is constructed. Most
farm fish ponds depend on rain-
fall run-off water. Some ponds
are Hvewater ponds or spring
fed. A permanent water supply
is essential to fish pond man-
agement. Some of the best managed
ponds often reach a stage where
restocking the pond is needed.
The existing fish can be elim-
inated by use of totenono prior
to stocking with new fish. When
applying harmful chemicals on
pasture or crops be careful and
stay a safe distance from your
fish pond. Chemicals can wash
into a pond from rainfall runoff
water following chemical treat-
ment of an area above the pond.
If it doesn't rain for several
days after spraying an area
above the pond the chemical

the danger of fish killing Is
small. The safe method is to
shred the pastureland above tho
pond.

Soil & Water Conservation Dis-
trict. IT PAYS TO KNOW
YOUR SOIL
By Jim C. Wyrick
Next time while driving
through the farming areas
around Bartlett look out at tho
landscape and notice the differ-
ent colors of tho soils. These
colors as well as texture con-
sistency structure depth of
rock and other properties are
used by Soil Scientists with the
Soil Conservation Service to
classify these soils.
Soil scientists are presently
classifying soils in the Bell
County area in order to publish
a progressive soil survey which
contains useful information for
both rural and urban use.
Soils are grouped according
to a classification system which
is similar to the guides used to
classify plants or animals. Soils
which show the same character-
istics are grouped together and
given a common name.
A major area in Bell County
in which the soils are being
classified is called the Black-
land Prairies soil resource area.
This covers a large area in the
central part of Bell County. The
soils in this area vary from
heavy black clay soils to reddish
brown sandy loam. They are
varied in crop yields uses and
limitations as they are in color.
A few of the most common soils
arc Houston Black clay Ilein-
den clay Burleson clay Wilson
clay loam and Crockett fine
sandy loam. Houston Black is a
heavy black clay with a good
yielding potential; Heinden is
very much like Houston Black
except it is brown in color and
yields are nearly the same as
Houston Black. Burleson is nlsn
a black clay but it is a much
more droughty soil than either
Heiden or Houston Black. Wil-
son and Crockett differ from
the other soils because they
have two layers. Wilson has a
dark gray clay local surface of
about 10 inches over n rlnrlr
gray clay. Crockett has a red-
dish brown local top soil over a
red and yellow mottled clay sub-
soil. Wilson and Crockett like
Burleson have a limited yield
potential because they are hard
and dry in the summer nnrf tnn
wet for long periods after rains.

in the field or digging fishing
worms notice the soil and see
