C6—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 15,1952 WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Agriculture will fund 12 new research associate proposals to support basic agricultural research and to en courage new scientific talent. “Basic research is a high priority for the USDA because it provides the fundamental knowledge to improve efficiency m agricultural and to open new fields of investigation,” said Terry B. Kinney, Jr.; administrator of USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. Too many fish spoil the pond UNIVERSITY PARK It has often been said that too many cooks spoil the broth. The same principal holds true for small ponds according to Terry D. Rader, associate professor, forest resources Extension at Penn State. The problem may occur in two ways according to Rader. Too many species (different kinds of fish) can complicate pond management or too many of one species (a stunted population) also can adversely affect fish growth and nun the quality of sport fishing. The most common problem with too many fish in Pennsylvania ponds is stunted bluegills. Too many bluegills can prevent bass from spawning successfully. When this happens, the bluegill problem will only get worse. Several measures may be taken to reduce bluegill numbers. Conventional angling methods may be used. No bluegills should be returned at the pond. Trapping can remove excess unwanted bluegills. Seining to remove excess bluegills is a good management tool. To own and possess a seme over four feet square, a state permit is required. If there is still a few bass remaining in the pond, a partial draw down can be an effective bluegill control measure. The draw down seems to work best when done over winter. It is recom mended that pond owners check with the local waterways patrolman about state regulations regarding some of these management practices. If bullhead, pum pkinseed sunfish, crappies and perch are not already present in the pond, do not stock them. These species will only tend to complicate pond management.
