oriented recreation continues to
grow, lake weeds are proving to
be an ever-increasing problem in
our lakes. The Inland Lake

use of overwinter drawdown to
control lake weeds in two
flowages in northwestern
Wisconsin.
Dr. S. A. 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.

Control
Natural lakes, unlike im
poundments, are not so readily
manageable. However, Nichols
indicates that even some natural
lakes can be drained, using high
capacity pumps, to achieve weed
control. But he cautions that the
resulting costs would be much
higher and the environmental
impacts must be carefully
assessed.
