Fishing, Swimming, Irrigation 1 Lakes Are Being Constructed ||| By H. J. WILLIAMS fl A large number of ponds and small lakes have been built in the Watauga Soil Conaervation District. Other farmers plan U> construct ponds for fishing, swimming, irri gation, and fire protection. Ponds are a valuable asset and have many uses. Recreation is a major consideration with meet peo ple that construct a pond. Pond* make a good place to swim, boat, fish, ice skate, or have a picnic beside. Ponds, like anv body of water, attract people. Wnen the two come together, there is always a chance of drowning. When properly con structed and managed a pond is a source of joy. If it is unsafe it may be a source of tragedy and sorrow. When building a pond the fol lowing things should be done for safety: 1. Remove all trees, stumps, and brush within the swimming area; 2. Remove all rubbish, wire, junk machinery, and fence* that might hinder safe boating or swim ming; 3. Elminate sudden drop offs and deep holes in the swim ming area. When the pond is completed the following recommendations should be observed: 1. Mark the safe swimming areas; 2. Place warning signs at danger points; 3. Place lifebuoys, ropes, or long pole* at swimming areas; 4. Post safety instructions for boating, swimming, and skating; 9. Never swim or skate alone; 6. Use boats that will float if swamped or capsized; 7. Stay out of farm ponds during storms, and when spillways are flowing; 8. Recognize that farm ponds are hazards to small chil dren. By observing rules of safety our ponds are a source of pleasure ? let us keep them that way. Mrs. Bradsliaw Rites Sunday Mrs. W. H. Gragg received word Friday that her sister, Mrs. J. D.

Feed Lambs Grain The practice of creep feeding lambs grain while they run with their mothers and before they go to market is a profitable job ac cording to Lloyd Moretz, Ferd Michael and W. R. Vines. These three farmers sold almost all of their lambs in the choice grade at the pool on Saturday at Jefferson. These lambs had had access to grain in a pea away from their mothers, since they were old enough to eat. It is difficult to es timate just how much grain in creased the market price of these lambs, but it is safe to say that grain used in the way they did will return at least twice the cost of grain.
