Hog lice and mange can both be controlled by this highly satisfactory and inexpensive
treatment. Use either Lindane or Benzene Hexa Chloride. Lindane can be purchased as a
20 percent emulsion concentrate, 25 percent wettable powder or 1 percent dust. If a
spray is desired, use 5 tablespoonfuls of the liquid emulsion or wettable powder to
5 gallons of water.
BHC can be used as either a spray or dust also.

OUR SOIL — OUR STRENGTH
By Hiram A. Jones, Work Unit Conservationist USDA-SCS
Thadious C. Ables Farm Pond
For years farm ponds have been constructed, or dug, on SCD Co-operators farms in
Tishomingo County.
For years the Soil Conservation personnel has assisted in the establishing of these ponds.
What is it about Mr. Ables’ farm pond that makes it news It is not the pond itself but
the uses Mr. Ables has planned for it that makes the construction of this pond news.
First of all Mr. Thadious C. Ables, who lives four miles west of Dennis, wanted a pond to
furnish water for his livestock. Second he wants to stock it with fish. Third he wants to
irrigate his garden. Fourth Mr. Ables will use it for swimming and fifth in case of fire he
can pump water from this pond to spray on his dwelling or farm buildings.
There you have five uses for one farm pond. Let’s list them again: 1. Water for
livestock; 2. Fish; 3. Irrigate garden; 4. Swimming, and 5. Fire protection.
Mr. Ables is to be congratulated on this fine project.
