Clubs To Cooperate

Conservation clubg interested in the operating of rearing ponds for the production of game fish to be used in stocking lakes and streams in their vicinity supplementing the output of the state hatcheries, may file their application for contracts with the Deparment of Conservation after Feb. 1. All applications for contracts must be filed before May 1 none being accepted after that date, it was announced by Virgil M. Simmons Commissioner of the Department of Conservation. : ' ' The 1935 contracts provide that clubs operating rearing ponds must provide their own parent fish, no fry being supplied from the state hatcheries, and must plant their fish not later than Oct. 20 1935. A new scale of prices to be paid cooperating clubs for the fish that they produce is set out in the contract. These 'include payment by the Department of lslo a thousand for bluegills and rock bass; from $4O to $6O a thouand and small mouth bass depending on the length, and from $3O to $5O a thousand for large mouth bass, depending upon length. No club will be paid over $5OO for fish. Eighty-one conservation clubs had coniracts to operate rearing ponds during the past year, producing thousands of game fish which were planted in Indiana lakes and streams. Cooperation og the clubs with the Department of Conservation in the propagation of game fish, resulted in a more thorough stocking of Indiana lakes and streams last year than had been possible in the past. An even greater stocking program is planned for 1935 with the state hatchery facilities being extended and the conservation clubs again cooperating.

Seed Advertised Must Be nggegl

The Banner is in receipt of a letter from Purdue university regarding the sale of seeds as it affects farmerg advertising seeds for sale. Part of the communication follow: “Although the Indiana state seed law has been in operation for 13 years, we find that many farmers are still not familiar with the fact that if they advertise seed for gale in newspapers, on gales bills, or in any other way, they are brought under the provisiong of the law. When the seed is advertised for sale it is necessary for the seller to tag it Wwith properly tilled out Indiana seed tags in order to comply with the law, the same as is required of commercial seedsmen. “The grower may sell seed which he has raised on his own premises without tagging it, provided the does not ‘advertigse it by circular sale bill catalog or through the public press’ and does not deliver the seed away from his own premises. “The entire law was framed for the purpose of protecting seed buyers and requires the use of tags to assure the buyer of clean adapted seed, an essential in any successful plan of crop production. : ' “I will appreciate very much any help which you can give us by call~ dng this matter to the attention of farmers who advertise seed for sale.
