To Obtain Farm Pond Permit
There are many farm ponds in
this county and in this part of the
state; many of the ponds present
a problem with algae and weed
control. The prevention of this
problem is the best cure because
once the pond is covered with
algae or filled with weeds, it is
very difficult to entirely remove
the material. Both of these
problems are usually caused by
the water being too shallow (less
than 18 inches) or because the
water is allowed to stay clear.
Clear water allows the
penetration of the sunlight into
the bottom of the pond and en
courages the growth of weeds and
algae. Present regulations
require that pond owners fill out a
permit and get permission from
the Pennsylvania Fish Com
mission before treating their
ponds. This is important to
protect yourself from any
possible damages done down
stream after the pond is treated.
Application blanks are available
from our Extension Office or
from local Fish Patrolmen.

Call on Casserole
Gardening calling? Casse
roles can come to a busy
woman’s rescue, if she gives
them a chance. Prepared early
in the day and refrigerated,
they free a cook of concern
for meal preparation while
she’s out or away. It takes lit
tle time to brown ground beef
to add flavor and food value
to made-ahead rice, macaroni,
spaghetti or noodle casserole
combinations that travel with
ease from refrigerator to oven
to table.
