Aa soon as tbe weather warms up, a mt I'm sure all of you hope that l> soon, your pond should be g*Y*a an application of W-J fertilixer at the rate of about 100 pounds per acre This same application should be repeated as often as necessary throughout the sprin.g, summer and up into tbe fall. It is not possible to say exactly bow much fertiliser it will take to keep your pond In Bood condition for fish growing be cause the conditions vary from pond to pond. Some ponds get more natural fertilizer from woodland, pasture or field than other poods get. It will cost y*u ten minutes time and no cash outlay to make your self a guage to check the condition of the pond, and when it needs fer tilizing. A thousand dollar guage would do no better job. At the materials you need are a three to four foot section of an old mop handle, hoe handle, or a one inch square edging strip .from the nearest saw mill, and tine top of a can of pinto beans or Campbell's soup. Nail the can top at one end of the stick you have chosen for a handle, and mark the handle at twelve in ches and eighteen inches above the can top. Submerge the can top in the water of your pond and see how deep in the water you can stUl 1 see the can top. If the top disap l>ears from view at a depth of twelve inches or less, your pond ' does not need any fertiiizer. If the lop is still visible at eighteen inches , yr more, the pond is in need of an tpplcation of fertilizer. You should , iheck the pond only when the water is not muddy. Although we often speak of Fertilizing the fish, they get no iirect benefit from the application. , rheir physical set-up does not allow them to use the fertilizer for food. , rhe nitrogen, phosphate and potash n the fertilizer stimulate the growth >f tiny, microseipic plants which live in the water of your pond, rhese plants furnish food for mill ions of insect larvae of many diff erent kinds, and small worms which 'uraish food for the bream which r'ou have placed in tile pond. The nore larvae and worms there are 3 resent in the water for the bream o eat, the more they eat, and the 'aster they grow. When they get i jlenty to eat, the bream spawn >ften. with thousands of bream 'ingerlings resulting. These bream l fingerlings are eaten in large quan tities by the bass which you also lave placed in your pond. When ihe bass have plenty of bream fingerlings to eat, they also grow , /ery rapidly. A few sacks of comparatively in- I expensive fertilizer can be turned into not only food for the family table, but also into hours of plea sure and entertainment for the kids ' tbe Superior Court, the undersign ed Commissioner wUl on Thursday, April 14, 1960. at twelve o'clock, noon, at .he door of the Court house in Murphy, Cherokee County.
