?This Warren County pond was built to furnish water for irrigation and other farm uses. It was stocked with fish managed, and leased to a fishing club. Now the pond provides additional farm income Soil Conservation News Farmers May Increase Income By Stocking And Leasing Farm Ponds By NAT WHITE Soil Conservationist The family size farmer needs to search constantly for addi are many ways he can use his surplus time, land, andfarm resources to increase the farm income. One way is to provide recreational facilities for the folks from town. Landowners with good farm ponds have been pleasantly pleased with the ease with which they leased their ponds to a good , group of fishermen. The farm ponds were built to furnish water for irrigation, livestock, and other farm uses. Where the fishing is good the landowner can collect 6% on his Investment from a fishing club, use the pond in any way he desires, and en Joy the fishing himself. The Soil Conservation Service will as sist landowners and operators In constructing, stocking, and managing a larm pond. Several Warren County farm ers have increased their farm Income by providing better hunting and leasing their hunting rights. Most farm ers who planned to charge fees or lease their hunting rights in advance have been pleased with the results. Hunting can be greatly improved with minor changes in farming practices. Sometime this involves a simple delay in plowing fields that furnish food and cover for wildlife. One of the most spectacular ventures in furnishing good hunting for a fee has been in providing Qoveiieias. several Warren County farmers have furnished good dove hunting for 20 to 40 hunters with simple changes in their farming prac tices. William Bender needed to plant some hay for his cattle, and the Warren Soil conserva tion District needed additional funds with which to operate. Bender used browntop millet for his hay crop, three excellent dove hunts followed and the Warren Soil Conservation Dis trict solved Its financial prob lems for one year. Where silage Is harvested on a farm, dove hunting fees can be charged with little effort. If the hunt Is stopped at 4:30 Day light saving time the doves have time to feed, and several hunts can usually be had over the same field. Where browntop millet is planted and harvested for iio close to the silage corn the number of hunts can be increas ed. On some of these dove neias seven hunts were conducted last season. Where farmer and sportsmen get together In planning and financing farm recreation there is pleasure for all concerned. N. W. Students Receive Over $18,000 In Grants More than $18,000 in grants and scholarships have been awarded to 1969 graduates of North Carolina High School, Mrs. Catherine J. Smith, guid ance counselor at North War ren, said yesterday. Commencement exercises were held at North Warren on Sunday afternoon. Colleges and universities which embrace North Carolina, Virginia and Massachusetts have responded In a positive way to give an educational oppor tunity to those in need for the agrarian low income families served by North Warren, Mrs. Smith said, "This Is a giant step toward supporting, stimulating and encouraging such youth to become produc tive young citizens," she said. The awards Include achieve ment and Institutional schol arships, North Carolina tui tion grants, prospective teach er scholarship loans, such fed eral funds as the Educational Opportunity grants, grant-in aid, cooperative work study program, and the Negro Scholarship Service Fund. Other sources, Mrs. Smith said, are the Cooperative Pro gram for Educational Oppor tunity, th% National Achieve ment Program for Outstanding Negro Students as funded ' through the National Merit Cor- | poratlon, the Urban League, and the Ford Foundation. Doris Ellen Terry, Delores Jerman and Vera Palmer have received full coverage at Duke University and Winston-Salem State College, respectively. Linda Ann Johnson and Veronica C. Davis are .eligible for supplementary aid from NSSF to complete their cost at Smith College, North Institute, Hampton, Va. Larry Somerville, Brenda Walker and Charles Edward Talley have scholarships to attend Living stone College, Salisbury, Bar ber-Scotia College, Concord, and Winston-Salem State Col lege. All of the aid to these stu dents is renewal for each of the four years they will be in college. Mrs. Smith said that all of this could swell the fi nancial assistance to more than $73,000. In congratulating the reci pients, G. H. Washington, prin cipal of the school, reminded them that their success would depend on decisions they make or the options they take in pre paring to lead more reward ing lives. The returns in their lives, he said, will be no more than what they deposit. Mrs. Smith reported that about 15 per cent of the seniors will attend colleges or univer sities this fall. She said that this does not include those who plan to attend technical schools, business schools, and other specialized schools. Ten members of the class are currently awaiting notifi cations of appointments to po sitions in the federal govern ment as the results of Civil Service examinations and in terviews. "The asplrational levels of the students in the above cate gories are indicative of their internalization of available op portunities and resource^ in today's multi-'" ..lensional so ciety," Mrs. Smith said. "They are responding to the challenges confronting them with commitment." - The VA usually can reply promptly if a veteran Includes his "C" or file number when he writes.

If they have been dug and divided at least once in the last three years, you may wish to leave them alone for another year of bloom ing. If you lift the bulbs every year, they should be stored in a cool dry place. Keep your tomato plants tied to the stakes as they grow. Use pieces of torn cloth or soft string and do not tie the stems too tightly against the stake. Prune by removing the young shoots as they form in the axils of the leaves (where the leaf stems join the main stem). Keep well mulched with pine needles or clean grain straw and water as needed. Don't expect too much from your plants if they are growing in your backyard where they may be shaded and competing ?vith tree roots for moisture and nutrients. They prefer full sun. Watch carefully for lacebugs on pyracantha, azaleas, Wash Tngtort hawthorns, KliOdOdfefl dron, etc. Dust thoroughly, especially undersides of leaves, with five percent malathlon dust. The same treatment will ?.. sir: _ , control spider mites (red spid ers) and aphlds (plant lice) on roses, azaleas and many other ornamentals. Flea beetles are likely to escape your notice until alter damage occurs. These are small Insects which resemble the ordinary flea. They eat round holes in the young leaves and are especially destructive on Irish potatoes, snapbeans, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and many other vegetable crops. Rotenone dust, one percent is effective and safe to use be cause it is harmless to warm blooded animals. It will also control Mexican bean beetles. Sevin dust, five percent, will also give good control. "Can ornamental plants be treated for nematodes?" Yes, by soil drenching with Nema gon. Clear an area around the plant from 2 to 5 feet in diam eter, depending upon the size of the plant. Build a small dike with soil around the rim of the area to be treated to contain the drerfch water. Add Nemagon to water as directed on the container and pour around plant. For best results, the soil temperature should be between 60 and 80 degrees. Warren Chapter Of DAR Meets At Littleton By MRS.
