GEORGIA’S HUNTING
SEASON IS OPEN NOW
ALANTA.—With the squirrel and
dove seasons setting the pace, open¬
ing September 15 and October 1 re¬
spectively, Georgia’s hunting season
will be in full swing in just a few
days over a month.
From Tybee Light to Rabun Gap
and vice versa Georgia sportsmen will
have a fine choice of both small and
big game, with indications pointing
to one of the greatest seasons in sev¬
eral years, despite the apparent de¬
crease in one or two species of small¬
er game birds.
Reports from wild life rangers over
the state indicate that game is more
abundant than in 1938, the State Di¬
vision of Wild Life reports. Most
notable increase is in the deer popu¬
lation, despite violations in parts of
the coastal area, and in one or two
North Georgia counties, where the
season is closed the year-round.
Also encouraging is the report of
the division that quail and duck shoot¬
ing will afford its full quota of sport.
Biological survey predicts a greater
migration of ducks and geese from the
North and rangers say that ideal
weather conditions in the spring gave
a muchly needed boost to bob white
and their family aspirations.
Here are some of the important
regulations governing the taking of
game in the state:
DOVE—Supply decreased due to
poaching, but still prevalent all over
the state, with better shooting in ex¬
treme southern region. Open Sept.

FOREST FIRES
We are told by the Forest Service
of the U. S. Department of Agricul¬
ture, that an average of one forest
fire every two and a quarter minutes
occurred in the United States last
year, burned over 33,815,100 acres—
an area almost as great as the state
of Georgia—and caused damage esti¬
mated at $36,888,460. The statistics
show that 91 per cent of the 33,815,100
acres burned over in the 1938 fires
were on unprotected private land, and
that 30,876,230 acres, or 17.43 per
cent of all unprotected lands, were
burned over during the year. The
great bulk of the property damage
from last year’s fires was also suf¬
fered by the forests of this unprotect¬
ed private property, the Forest Serv¬
ice reports.
FIRES ON FARMS
Fires on farms last year took a
total of approximately 3500 lives and
caused property damage of $95,000,
000. Recently Secretary Henry A.
Wallace, said that these losses, large¬
ly preventable, are principally due to
the following causes: defective chim¬
neys and heating apparatus; combus¬
tible roofs; lighting; spontaneous
combustion; matches and smoking;
gasoline and kerosene; and misuse of
electricity. Adequate inspection of
farm houses and other farm buildings
should be made at periodic intervals
throughout the year, followed by the
immediate removal of fire hazards.
ABUNDANT GRAZING
REDUCES COST OF
MILK PRODUCTION
What will be the cost of producing
a gallon of milk in February, 1940?
That, according to Frank W. Fitch,
dairy specialist for the Georgia Ex¬
tension Service, will depend on how
much grazing is provided for the ani¬
mals.
“Production cost of a gallon of milk
is always lowest when cows have
abundant grazing,’ Fitch declared.
“And, because the permanent pasture
season ends soon, the wise procedure
will be for farmers to get some tem¬
porary grazing crop seeded early in
October.”
The dairy specialist said the re¬
turns in milk from fall seeded graz¬
ing crops will depend very largely
upon whether or not these two or
three rules are followed in seeding:
(1) Land well prepared and having .
plenty of plant food; (2) a heavy rate
of seeding—at least twice the amount
of seed that would be used for making
a grain crop, and (3) getting the seed
in the ground early in the fall so it
can get a real start ahead of cold
weather.
Fitch also called attention to the
fact that a real thick sod helps pre¬
vent winter killing and permits graz¬
ing without injury to the land even
when rather wet. “When it is ready
to graze, turn the cows iq, let them
fill up, and then take them off,” he
said. “For two family cows, one acre
seeded will be sufficient and com¬
paratively little other feed will be
needed when grazing is good.”
For mixture and rate of seeding,
the dairy specialist suggested ithat
farmers consult their local county
agent.
In temperance there is ever clean¬
liness and elegance.—Joubert.

INTEREST RATE ON CCC
LOANS TO FARMERS CUT
TO 3 PER CENT NOV. 1
Director Walter S. Brown, of the
Georgia Agricultural Extension Serv¬
ice, has received word from the of¬
fice of Secretary of Agriculture Hen¬
ry A. Wallace that effective Novem¬
ber 1, 1939, the interest rate to farm¬
ers on all Commodity Credit Corpora¬
tion loans will be reduced from four
per cent to three per cent per annum.
The reduction in the interest rate
to farmers was based on an under¬
standing that grew out of a confer¬
ence between representatives of the
American Bankers Association and of¬
ficials of the Commodity Credit Cor¬
poration, Director Brown said.
“The banks and lending agencies
which ara now making Commodity
Credit Corporation loans heretofore
have been guaranteed an interest rate
of two and a half per cent per an
for their services, and the Com
modity Credit Corporation has re¬
ceived 1 Va per cent of the total four
per cent charged producers,” he de¬
clared. “Under the new arrange¬
ment, lending agencies making loans
after October 31, 1939, will be gua¬
ranteed two per cent, and the Com¬
modity Credit Corporation will re¬
ceive one per cent.”
According to the notice from Wash¬
ington, banks and lending agencies
holding loans made prior to November
1, 1939, under current programs, will
be alowed the interest rate specified
in the present contracts of purchase,
but in all instances the rate to farm¬
ers will be reduced from 4 to 3 per
cent.
The policy of the Commodity Cred¬
it Corporation,” Secretary Wallace
said, “is to reduce all interest rates
and carrying charges to their lowest
reasonable levels. The advantages of
such a policy are obvious. It gives
the farmers the opportunity to retain
the maximum equities in the commod
ities under loan.
