Aerial Fertilization
Results of aerial fertilization are beginning to show this summer on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Beard at Hillsboro. The Beard farm was fertilized by airplane last spring during the Pocahontas County Aerial Fertilization program. Some 908 acres in the county were fertilized in the past two years bringing soil improvement for the first time to many acres that are too steep to be reached by truck…
The Beard family is one of Pocahontas County Farming for Better Living Programs being enrolled in the farm betterment program that is sponsored by Monongahela Power Company, the Cooperative Extension Service and civic and business leaders of Pocahontas County…
The Beard farming operation is a grassland enterprise, beef and sheep. Sherman took over management of the farm in 1951.

Seneca Lake
to be Reclaimed
West Virginia Department of Natural Resources personnel will reclaim Seneca Lake on September 21, 1965. This reclamation was deemed necessary when the lake was found to be infested with a stunted green sunfish population. The lake will be drained prior to the rotenone application to the watershed. Trout and largemouth bass will be restocked in the lake as soon as water conditions will permit. This will hold the loss of fishing time to a minimum.
