‘ Twelve farmers In Culpeper and ’ Rappahannock counties received 14,000 bream (Blue Gills) > for their farm ponds last week, through the Culpeper Soil Conser- '. Vat ion Dictrict. Soil Conservation Service Technicians assisted by R., M. Menefep, delivered, the fish to the various farms from the fish hatchery.

Culpeper county farmers included: Rochester Ropes, Culpeper; E. G. King, Rixeyville; A. D. Scott, Elkwood; J. Walton Loving, * Culpeper; James Broyles, Brandy and J. Carlton Clore, Culpeper.

Regular commercial fertilizer may be used if the nitrogen units are brought up to equal the phosphate units in the formula. The last application of fertilizer in the fall should not be applied later than October 1. The first application in the spring should be made in early April.

Most farm ponds indicate the lack of -fishing^ rather than over-fishing. -- V
