Nichols, Aquatic Biologist with the Project, reported at the annual Weed Science Society of America meetings in Atlanta. He said that a single drawdown during the winter of 1971-72 was very ef fective at controlling Robbins pondweed, and to a lesser extent water lilies in the Mondeaux Fiowage. The single drawdown eliminated approximately 50 percent of the- problem vegetation with no direct costs involved. The Chippewa Fiowage was used to study the long-term ef fects of drawdown. The Fiowage has been drawn down annually for 50 years. This study identified groups of plants which could and could not be controlled by drawdown. Beekeepers Seek To Maintain Honey Production The Lancaster County Beekeepers will hold its first meeting of the season at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster, Tuesday. March 20 at 7:30 p.m. The program is planned for the prospective beekeeper who would like to know “Is beekeeping for me?” Due to world-wide shortage of honey, the' program committee felt there is enough interest to devote the entire season’s five meetings to beginning beekeepers. Never, in the world agricultural production has there been a world-wide shortage of a crop as occurred' in honey production in the 1971 season, and only in a few areas was a surplus produced in 1972. Beekeepers are looking for ward to breaking this shortage in 1973. The public is cordially invited to attend. I ■k 0 r' „///><i / • - •»* 't y \* ih ■TV "t/ r ■" *- — lr»- ( 4 •y Lancaster Farming. Saturday. March 17.1973 Control Natural lakes, unlike im poundments, are not so readily manageable.

But he cautions that the resulting costs would be much higher and the environmental impacts must be carefully assessed.
