The\ Missouri Conservationist Published Quarterly by the Missouri Conservation Commission VOL. 3. NO. 7. JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI SPRING, 1942 Governor Names TurnbuII As Member of Commission Re-appointment Of Mr. Stephens Widely Approved THE appointment, by Governor Forrest Donnell, of Owen TurnbuII, of Troy, and the re-appointment of E. Sydney Stephens, of Columbia, to the Conservation Commission has met with the hearty approval of not only the sportsmen of the state but of all Missourians who are interested in conservation. Mr. TurnbuII is a sportsman and an active conservation worker in his section of the state. Mr. Stephens has proven, during his four years as chairman of the Commission, his sincere devotion to the work. Mr. TurnbuII was born in Lincoln County and has lived there ever since. E. SYDNEY STEPHENS In 1927 he married Miss Kathleen Hall, and they have two daughters, Mary Sue, 12 years old, and Kathleen, who is nine. OWEN TURNBULL He has always taken an active part in civic affairs, and during his term as president of the Troy Chamber of Commerce, he succeeded in getting the Federal government to establish the Cuivre River Recreational Area, east of Troy. In addition to his business and civic work, he owns a farm near Troy, where he indulges in his hobby of raising and training foxhounds and bird dogs. He is fond of both fox hunting and bird hunting. At present Mr. TurnbuII is vice-president of the Midwest Fox Hunters Association, an organization of fox hunters from 17 states; and he bred and trained the foxhound, "Major Bowes," which was crowned grand champion of the Missouri State Roundup at Jefferson City in 1939. It was during Mr. Stephens' tenure of office as president of the Restoration and Conservation Federation of Missouri that the people of the state were made (Continued on page 2.) COMMISSION LIBERALIZES POND POLICY WELCOME news to farm pond owners and prospective builders of farm ponds is the announcement by the Conservation Commission of a liberalized policy for stocking ponds with fish. Crappie, bluegill, green sunfish and bullheads from state hatcheries and rescue stations will be available for stocking those ponds which meet certain specifications of construction and protection. Heretofore, owners of farm ponds, in order to secure fish from the Commission, were required by agreement to maintain restrictions regulating size and catch limits, which were at least as restrictive as those imposed by the Wildlife and Forestry Code. Under the new policy pond owners agree: (1) To permit reasonable use of their ponds for fishing, without a fee, subject to permission of the owner. (2) To attempt to manage the pond and to control the fishing so that restocking will not be needed. (3) To permit no fish of any species to be released in the pond without first consulting the Commission. The stocking of farm ponds, the Commission points out, will be for the purpose of establishing initial, adequate breeding stock only, and not on the basis of perpetual restocking. Consequently, it is up to the owner of the pond to so regulate fishing that the pond will not be fished out and require restocking. However, lest farmers become over- restrictive through fear of their ponds being fished out, it should be understood that there is far less danger of overfishing than there is of under-fishing. If only desirable pond species are planted, reasonable fishing in the pond will lead to an adequate supply of fully grown fish; whereas, too little fishing will result in over-population, leading to stunted and under-sized fish.
