ENCOURAGE THE PONDS Grinding Grain for Finny Charges Add ed to the Morning and Evening Du ties—Fun, Food and Profit Is Triple Idea Being Urged. Topeka, Kan. — Kansas farmers’ small boys are having new chores add ed to their before and after school work. In the morning they have to bring up the cows and horses, help feed the pigs and milk the cows and curry the horses and in evening they have to bring in the wood for mother ' and gather eggs and milk the cows and feed the pigs and put down hay for the horses. Their new stunt will be to feed the fish. It will not be very long until nearly every Kansas farmer will call out to his son or the hired man: “Henry, as soon as you finish milk ing go ovec^and grind some feed for the fish.” That sounds like a pretty strange direction for a farmer to make, but there will be several thousand more next year and in the years to come. When Prof. L. L. Dyche of the State university was made fish and game warden he was told that his chief job was to make the fish indus try worth while in Kansas. The state has just let the contract for S3 new ponds, covering 80 acres of ground as an addition to its fish hatchery at Pratt, and when the ponds are completed Kansas will have the largest fish hatchery in the country. One million minnows a year is the ca pacity of the new hatchery, and all of these will be furnished free of Feeding the Fish. charge for breeding purposes to the Kansas farmers and sportsmen. Thi new hatchery will cost $75,000, includ ing the land, nearly 100 acres being purchased. There are now seven ponds at the hatchery and about 70,000 fish are distributed each year. "If every farmer in Kansas will grow one mess of fish a week for his own family, it will mean $1,250,000 added to the revenues of Kansas each year,” said Prof. Dyche. “If they are care ful and sell a few fish each year, the revenues of the state will be increased from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 a year. Pish are the easiest grown and most productive crop that can be raised on a farm. A half acre pond will re turn more to the farmer each year than any five acres he owns and with the least work.” Kansas has two reasons for increas ing the fish production in Kansas. One is to increase the revenues and pleas ures of the farmers themselves and the other is to increase the water area of the state. As is well known, the heaviest rainfall follows the water courses of any state, and by increasing the area of water away from the streams, it is believed that the rain fall throughout the state will be in creased. The state refunds one-half the taxes on all farm property made into ponds of certain size and of certain materials. The ponds are to be filled either by pumping or by storing the winter rains and snow. Every farmer who will build a pond will be supplied with fish and taught how to take care of them. Correspond ence courses in building ponds and in caring for fish have been installed at the state university and the state ag ricultural college. Fifth Twins for Family.
