IU'-- L r 31 DUCHESNE, Stock Of Farm Ponds With Trout Underway Stocking of private farm ponds with fingerling rainbow trout has become popular in western Duchesne County. Roughly, 31,200 of these fish, to two measuring from one-haand one-hainches, have been furnished to 16 cooperators for about 38 acres of farm ponds in this area this year. The stocking of farm ponds is a part of the Uintah Basin Soil Conservation Districts program of conservation to help farm operators make the best use of their soil and water resources. Applications for fish are received by the local SCS office and are forwarded to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. When sufficient requests are filed, a load of fish is sent from the Spring-vill- e Hatchery for distribution to farm ponds. Soil Conservation Service biologists; calculate that an acre of properly managed farm pond water will about equal the production of meat (trout) that may be raised from an acre of well-kepasture. Pound for pound, acre for acre, a managed pond will poor pasture. Besides being a good source of tasty food, farm ponds provide recreation on the farm and make for better living. Mr. Burton Tew of Talmage, reports that his pond furnishes him with about the only recreation left on his farm. He that after evening explained chores are done ' he can relax at his farm pond with his fishing rod. The upper country, including arthe Mt. ea, is classed as excellent for farm pond trout production. Fingerlings grow to over legal size by the next season after planting. The idea back of stocking farm ponds as a form of conservation assistance furnished through the Soil Conservation District is to endeavor to compensate farmers for crop losses caused by game, such as deer and pheasants, in an effort to further better relations the farmer and the between sportsman. Farmers may grant permission to anyone to fish their ponds, but they may not commercialize on fish furnished free of charge by the Fish and Wildlife Service hatcheries. lf lf ITS FISH PLANTING TIME The Fish and Wildlife Department has been busy the past few weeks planting fingerling trout in farm ponds in Western Duchesne County.
