FARM PONDS, such as this one on the Don Greenup place, nine
miles (rom Hcppner on Hinton creek, are becoming increasingly
important to the American farmer, both from the standpoint
of economics and recreation. This pond covers about 34 of an
acre on the surface and holds about three acre feet of water,
according to Ralph Richards, Soil Conservation Service.
Pond Safety! Stressed
In keeping with Farm Safety
Week, July 22-28, Ralph Richards
of the Soil C onservation oil ice,
Ileppner, calls attention (o both
the benefits and hazards of farm
ponds.
In the past quarter century,
farmers and ranchers have buill
a million ponds as a part of
their soil and water conservation
plans, Richards points out.
Ponds are used in many farm
ing programs, such as water for
livestock, sprinkler irrigation
water source, fire protection and
recreation in the form of fishing,
boating, swimming and ice
skating.
County Agent Ncls Anderson
adds that there are more than
50 farm ponds In Morrow county
that are stocked with fish.
One recent noteworthy use of
a farm pond was that at the
Ken Turner place last week
when fire destroyed his barn.
The pond, strategically located
for fire protection, gave the fire
men an unlimited supply of
water that they used in con
trolling the fire and preventing
further destruction. Not all farm
ponds, however, are located close
enough to be available for
pumping from the source direct
to the fire.
Among rules listed by the
National Safety Council on farm
ponds are these: 1. Recreation
must be supervised at all times
by an adult. 2. Never swim alone,
fish alone, boat alone or skate
alone. 3. Safety instructions for
boating, swimming and skating
should be posted. 4. If the farm
pond Is located so it gets the
drainage from barnyards or
sewers, or if livestock are allow
ed to drink directly from the
pond, do not permit swimming or
other recreation because of san
itary reasons. 5, l'lace lifesaving
devices such as ring buoys,
ropes and long poles around
swimming areas. 6. Know accep
ted methods of artificial respir
ation. 7. Clear all trees, stumps,
brush, wire and rubbish from
swimming and boating areas. 8.
Children should be educated to
the hazards of farm ponds and
irrigation ditches and canals.

Over The
Tee Cup
By DEE GRIBBLE
Due to ol' man summer, the
golfing has been both early and
late. The early hours let me
out, and the late ones keep me
at the kitchen stove, so I
haven't been in or around much
golfing.
Sunday the play at McNary
golf course was called "because
of the sun." Good thinking. But
we did play nine holes here after
5:00. Ed and Grib were so busy
trying to beat one another, they
let one of the gals sneak in and
beat 'em both, by one stroke.
On Tuesday the ladies played
their round starting at 7 a.m.
Seven started and played blind
partner, with Hester and Kay
as winning "partners." Velma
Glass had least putts. (Inci
dentally, our "penny a putt" is
our means of support for our
golf ball awards. We saved for
the new flags and poles and
will find another project in the
near future.)
Remember gals Seven a. m.
next Tuesday, rain or shine!
