P. H. MASSEY Lists Conservation Data A pond has been completed by Talmadge House on the T. B. Ward Farm near Nashville. The pond was surveyed by Soil Conservation Service Technicians who drew up sperifications and checked on con struction. House has killed all na tive fish in the pond area, and he plans to stock it this month with fish furnished by the Tar River Soil Conservation .District. The pond on The Free Will Bap tist Orphanage at Middlesex has been greatly improved by enlarg ing the dam and deepening the shallow edges. The pond was con structed and stocked in 1947. Shal- j low water, siltation, and native fish caused it to get out of bal ance, so last summer it was drain ed. Most of the shallow water was eliminated by the State Highway Department while they removed the dirt to make a road on the dam. This proved to be of mutual bene fit to the Highway Department and the Orphanage. A private contrac tor was engaged to push soil from the upper end of the pond and re move the shallow water there. Mr. S. A. Smith, Superintendent of the Rod. and *Gun By Roy Amundson Although Tar Heel wildfowlers were greeted by bluebird weath er on opening day November 17, prospects were best for duck and goose shooting since waterfowl populations reached an all-time low back in 1934. Both ducks and geese came south earlier than usu al this year, and by the time the season opened they were congre gated in large numbers of Curri tuck Mattamuskeet, and Anson ville. Less than twenty years ago few gunners or conservationists would give a thin dime for the chances of ducks and geese to survive. Ex tended drouth throughout the northern nesting grounds, coupled with decades of overgunning and ZEBULON Orphanage, plans to stock the pond again this fall. Smith plans to put on a good soil conservation pro gram on the farm which will keep the water clear of mud and produc tive. The pond will be fertilized and managed according to specifi cations furnished by The Tar River Soil Sonservation District, and the boys at the Orphanage have some good fishing to look forward to. A drainage canal has been com pleted by Joe Ellen on his farm near Dortches in accordance with his Soil Conservation Farm Plan. The canal drains an area that has always been a problem and a lia bility to Ellen. He plans to clear the bushes and shrubs from the land and seed it to permanent pas ture. Terraces were laid out for P. D. Mullen on his farm near Nashville. The terraces were designed to fit the land and divide Mullen’s field at the proper place. A meadow strip will be sown to take part of the water safely from the field, produce hay, and utilize land that does not work with the rest of the field. marsh draining, had brought the waterfowl count down to the point where many people advocated closing the seasons entirely for a five year period. But the rains came again. Drainage ditches were plugged up at places where land had been re claimed from marsh habitat to farm land. Strict laws were passed and rigidly enforced. Nature took care of the rest until a continuation Os the present trend will see water fowl shooting something like the oldtimers like to brag about. There are tough years ahead. We may be in for another series of dry years. Land values are skyrock eting, and there is again a grow ing howl to drain more duck and (Continued on Page 4) Zebulon, N.
