Federal agency helps
Preserve wildlife
A five-day tour of Texas ranch
and farm lands by a Texas Parks
and Wildlife representative has re-
vealed to I h<* Department that
"brush control" does not always
have to imply a loss to persons in-
terested in w ildlife.
Hob Carlisle, administrator of
technical programs, recently loured
much of south and south central
Texas with several members of the
U. S. Soil Conservation Service and
the U. S. Bureau of Spoi l Fisheries
and Wildlife.
The purpose of the trip was to
nain a belter understanding of SCS
programs and: parctices in order to
improve cooperation between the
three agencies and their interests.
Carlisle said that Texas SCS re-
presentatives are making a con-
scientious effort to make brush con-
trol projects consistent with good
wildlife management, and thai in
many instances brush control lias
aclually enhanced wildlife habitat.
"There are over 1!20,000 signifi-
cant larm and ranch operating units
in the State, and approximately
18!),000 of these are district co-
operators (ol the SCSI and have
basic conservation plans which are
in effect to one degree or another,"
says Carlisle.
The Soil Conservation Service is
a Federal agency which, when
given the opportunity, assists farm-
ers and ranchers in enhancing the
utility of their land, including wild-
life, through proper land manage-
ment practices.
"The SCS has tried to discourage
| landowners from the complete clear-
ing of brush whenever a landowner
seeks their aid. Increasingly more
often, SCS in cooperation with the
Bureau of Sport Fisheries and
Wildlife and the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department is successful
in convincing the landowner lo im-
prove or enhance the wildlife habi-
tat through brush management
rather than complete control," ac-
cording to Carlisle.
Probably the oldest educational
institution in the world is the
j University of Karuecin in Fez,
Moracco, founded in sr>!) A. I>.
Fertilize' Pond
For(*oo<l I isliinji
A properly managed farm pond
can provide excellent fishing and
serve as a source of recreation and
income for the owner.
Most ponds, however, should Ik'
fertilized, for maximum fish pro-
duction, says County Agent Ed Mi
gura. Fertilizer, he adds, increases
the supply of plankton which is the
main food supply for small fish
and water insects.
Early spring is the lime to ix'gin
a fertilized program. Water tem-
perature should be (10 degrees K.
when the first application of fertili-
zer is made.
Most Texas waters respond to an
initial treatment of 100 pounds of
20-20-5 analysis fertilizer per sur-
face acre, followed by successive
treatment of 20 to 10 pounds per
acre at 2-week intervals until a de-
sirable bloom has Ixien reached.
Water surrounded by soils with am-
ple potassium usually respond well
to 16-20-0 fertilizer. Nitrogen and
phosphorus seem lo be essential for
good plankton production regardless
of the surrounding soil tyi>e,
Chapter, Future Farmers of Ameri-
ca, held its annual Parent Son Ban-
quet at the High School Cafetorium,
with James Kathmann, chapter
president, acting as master of cere-
monies.

he received recognition as the

The plankton bloom is sufficient
when a person's cupped band is not
visible when the arm is immersed
in the water lo elbow depth (about
18 inches). The bloom usually ap-
pears in 1 to 5 weeks after the he-
ginning of the fertilization program,
says the county agent. Subsequent
applications should l>e made only
