SCS Activities F. O. Clark, District Conservationist \ North Carolina farmers really like farm ponds. That's why this is the leading state in the South Atlantic fegion in number of ponds, with more than 66,000 installed through the years with technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service. Several hundred more are being built each year, even though costs of digging or damming ponds have risen sharply in recent years. The Southeast UnitedStates, from Virginia to New Mexico, is the leading pond area in the nation, with well over half the two million ponds that have been built in the United States. As might be expected, Texas with its 2S4 jbunties leads all the states with 267,707 ponds. Runners-up are Oklahoma with 171,000 and Mississippi with 123.000. In the nation, about one pond to each 10 people has been built. North Carolina is well ahead of the national average, with a pond to each eight inhabitants-and more being built every day. Farm ponds are used for many purposes. Many provide water for livestock; others are used for irrigation of high-value crops, Including tobacco and vegetables. Many farm families use ponds for farm water supply, for sediment retention (on low-lying ground) and * for fire protection. No matter what the purpose, SCS people are glad to work with landowners to figure out the best site and show where to dig (or build a dam) for a pond. Graham A.

Virtually every poit is stocked with fish. Bream and bks are the most popular combiraion, although crappie and other\ fish are also included. IncreaWly, channel catfish are being produced into ponds. In the mountains, \out swim in the chill waters. Boating and swimtApg are also popular on many | To help those interest^ in fishing, including farmers who albw people to fish for a small fee\ the Soil Conservation Service has two booklets that are free for tie asking at SCS offices or from local soil and water conservation districts. One is Fanners Bullentin 2250 "Warm Water Fishponds" which would apply to most of North Carolina. For mountain areas, Farmers Bulletin 2249, "Trout Ponds for Recreation," is available. Both booklets are also sold through the Government Printing Office. The trout booklet costs 15 cents the warm water fishponds booklet 25 cents. Like all services of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, farm pond assistance is available to everyone without regard to race, creed, color, sex or national origin. Enthusiasm for ponds seems to be contagious in North Carolina. Some individual farmers have half a dozen ponds, or more, on their land. Recently one landowner who already had seven ponds, called the SCS office and said he wanted help to install three more ponds, making his total an even ten. While SCS expertise is available to "stake and reference" a pond and give other advice, including depth and slope of banks, the landowner must pay for the digging or damming himself. Sometimes cost-sharing will be available through ACP or other programs administered by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, another USDA agency. But even if it costs money, Tar Heel landowners appear determined to keep putting in ponds-an average of every working day over the state.
