Kansas Pond Building Plan Aims to Relieve Drought
Gov Hodges urges Kansas farmers to build storm water ponds and coordinates a pond-building week with fifty engineers from the State Agricultural College. A 1911 law allows a farm land tax reduction for ponds storing water, while the college promotes ponds for fish and food supply. Despite limits, the effort should ease summer drought on many farms and help stock and domestic water needs. Fish and oysters daily at Vanarsdell's.
