Abstract
This article discusses the results of a cultural biochemical and serologic study of 235 suspect cultures isolated from thirteen farm ponds in eight Ohio counties that was made during 1960 and 1961. The study failed to establish any of the isolates as typical Salmonella or Shigella species. These results suggest that the farm pond waters are only lightly polluted and indicate that farm ponds, properly maintained, are a source of raw water of good bacteriologic quality.Keywords
