1 Is Sport
I Worth It?
The delights of the sportsman
are -too numerous to list. Every
person who reads this message
knows what it means to take a
a trout or kill a bass ... to flush
a covey of quail ... to bring down
a deer ... to hear a hound bay
at the tree ... he understands
the deep pleasure of the woods
. . . the zest of camping beside a
clear stream . . . the earthy joy
of tramping the fields.
But nature does not always stay
in balance.
Through all the ages, man in
his migrations westward has
left .a blight on many of the
earth’s most fertile areas . . .
Lands and streams once teem
ing with nature’s gifts have
been made barren by man.
When nature ceases to be in
balance we can no longer have
the beauties of nature—nor fish,
nor game, nor trees . . . not even
water to drink or use for power.
Often we cannot survive except
by moving on.
Only recently have we become
aware of the need for restoration
and replenishment . . . soil con
servation . . . forest and flood
control . . . vigilance against the
pollution of our rivers . . . breed
ing and feeding grounds for fish,
flesh and fowl. On these billions
of dollars have been spent. Much
more remains to be done.
It is all worth it!

CROOKED CREEK DR.
SCORES IN MID-WEST
DUBLIN, Ga. — E. A. Weddle
has returned from field trials in
the mid-west, where he scored
several impressive wins with dogs
in his string.
Among them were Crooked
Creek Dr., veteran pointer owned
by Dr. J. E. Smalley, Dublin vet
erinarian. Dr. finished second in
the Chicagoland Club’s trials at
Camp Grant, Ill., last month. He
was running in a field of 26 point
ers and six setters. “Doc” had
one brilliant find of a pheasant,
finishing behind War Admiral’s
Beauty and ahead of Lexington
Village Boy.
Weddle will train near here
next season and is optimistic over
the prospects of birds in the area
he has leased. He moved 18 coveys
in a single day last winter.
Big Indian Bass
BIG INDIAN CREEK, Ga.—
Hugh Anderson’s trip here from
Macon was good for a 5-pound
bigmouth bass last week. He was
using live bait.
Have You Looked At Your Kennel?
A good dog deserves a good home. This means that any
dog being kept for use in the field should be properly housed.
We admit that different breeds require different types of
kenneling.
However, there are some stand
ard requirements that apply to all
breeds. Certain common qualities
may he found in all good kennels.
One of the most important is
location. A kennel should be on
well-drained ground — preferably
sloping and sandy or porous soil.
The slope, of course, should be
away from the dog house. Light
is very important, particularly
where puppies are to be kept.
There should be plenty of direct
sunlight, with some shade neces
sary.
One factor which many owners
overlook is plenty of fresh water,
kept in a clean container. The
bucket or basin should be fastened
permanently, on a post or on the
fencing, to prevent constant up
setting.
Size of the kennel depends on
circumstances. Many of us too oft
en think a large run is necessary.
A kennel is not supposed to be a
field or a pasture. The kennel is
not the proper place for exercising
a dog. It is a place for fresh air
and safety rather than exercise.
The dog should be taken out of
the kennel for exercising.
Kenneled dogs have been found
to thrive better if their yards are
not too large, that is, if they are
taken out and given the short
workouts or periods of exercise
which they should have in off-sea
son.
J. S. Pace, of Marietta, Ga., is
going into the pointer business se
riously. He has six or seven well-
known bitches and four are in
whelp to such prominent studs as
Homerun Harrigan, Bomber Com
mander, Arrowsmith, and Air Sam.
Pace’s kennels are at Kennesaw.
He has taken great pains to pro
vide clean and adequate kenneling.
Bob Williamson, who has won
the last two gun dog champion
ships of Georgia with Willing
Rider Bessie and Sport’s Hotsie
Totsie, claims he has seven fu
ture champions. Bess is raising a
family by Arrowsmith, Dominion
chicken champion of 1945, owned
by J. B. Easterlin Jr., of Monte
zuma, Ga. Arrowsmith is the son
of National Champion (1940) Les
ter’s Enjoy Wahoo.
E. A. Weddle has shifted his
training grounds from Louisville to
Dublin, Ga. . . . Casey Black, of
Acree, Ga., has signed to handle
dogs for L. D. Johnson, over whose
Pineland Plantation, Albany, the
Quail Championship was run sev
eral years ago. . . . The profes
sional handlers are working hard
these days selecting top prospects
for work in Saskatchewan and
Manitoba this summer. . . . The
first and second weeks of June will
see most of them en route to the
prairies.

Quakers Take
42,000 Foxes
With the end of its fiscal year
still two months away, Pennsyl
vania reports that bounty pay
ments for the current year in that
state have already reached $184,-
010—an all-time high. Only $45,-
397 was expended during the en
tire preceding year. The previous
high record was $134,322.50, es
tablished in 1921-22.
Officials say that 42,000 foxes
alone were taken to the end of
March, and feel that the state’s
predator problem is on the way
to solution, thanks to the renewal
activities of hunters and trappers
who were busy with patriotic du
ties during the war.
