Tommfe F. Osborne of Boone,
* Wildlife Protector (or Watauga
county, advises that this is the
3 most popular time of year for
p^farm pond fishing Hot weather
drives moat of the fish to the deep
InBjer part of- the ponds, but top water
fishing with popper bugs and flies
*j>jean be done successfully in the
early morning and late evening
KoP hours.
Protector Osborne said that Wa
p'Jtauga county has about 90 private
ponds. with a state total of around
43.000 and farm ponds are now
producing a major amount of fish
ing sport and food for the table.
Although most ponds come under
fishing license requirements, the
following are exempt from the pur
chaae of fishing licenses:
a. The owner and his family;
b. Natural bait fishermen in coun
ty of residence; c. Resident minors
under age 10$ d. Nonresident min
ora under age IS, and t. House
guests of the owner of the land
surrounding the poM or lake that
is classified as private under the
provisions of lav. This Utter ex
emption is made by Wildlife Com
mission regulation. All others fish
ing In private farm ponds are re
quired to have fishing licenses as
prescribed by state law.
Wildlife protectors are cooper
ating with farm pond owners not
only in the enforcement of license
requirements, but in helping to
obtain brood Mock, 'draining and
restocking, and protection from use
of such illegal devices as nets,
poison and dynamite. Protectors
also serve aa contact men between
pond owners and fisheries biolo
gists, helping pond owners to con
tact state biologists for pond man

ASC Phosphate Is Now
Available To Farmers
54 per cent superphosphate and
63 per cent superphosphate if now
available through the ASC office
for uae in the ACP practice of im
proving paaturei and meadows,
thia county being in the TVA
watershed.
The County Committee wilt ap
prove two bags per acre for either
of these concentrated superpho
sphates. This gives either 106 or
126 pounds of plant food per acre
and iu use is especially adapted
to st<$>, billy land where mater
ials are hard to spread. For this
reason the improvement of mkny
farms in the county has been
neglected.
Approvals for the use of this
material on this practice will first
be made on those farms which
have not yet received assistance
under the 1990 Agricultural Con
servation Program, and will be
made on k first-come, first-serve
basis.
It should be borne in mind that
in carrying out this practice the
applicaton of o# ton of lmestono
per acre wll'be requred unless the
land has been limed during the
past fiver years, or a soil test
ihowi that DO lime is needed. For
the but result* a soil test should
be taken and the recommendations
followed. -
Farmers who have not received
ACP assistance are invited 0>
come to the A8C office and find
out just how many acres they will
be able to improve with scarcely
any cost to themaelves except the
labor involved.
It is not certain that this mater
ial will be available after this
yesr, and farmers are urged to act
at once. ,
Winter cover crops are being
approved for all farms, and such
spprovals should be secured while
funds are unliable.
Llmeston?^ should be applied
this fall on land to which grasses
fnd legumes will be seeded next
spring.
Contact the ASC office at once
for information concerning any of
these practices.
Educators told to consult public
on budget.
