NEWS OF GEORGIA'S GAME AND FISH The Cherokee Game Refuge No. 2, in the mountains between Blue Ridge and Dahlonega, Wwill close for fishing Saturday might, June 9th. Reports from the wardens on refuge service during the open season show 'that every man that has fished at all has got the legal limit on brook, rainbow, and speckled trout. Go after them and enter them in the contest. Following on the heels of the{‘ official order to release all foxes now held in captivity, the State Game and Fish department wants to call attention to_ this point.; Foxes are going to be encour aged as game, but when they be gin to kill valuable poultry and stherwise become obmnoxious, we will issue permits for the purpose {of controlling them. Under the terms of the anti steel trap law, we cannot issue permits to trap predatory animals unless the traps are set Wwithin one .hundred feet of the chicken {houses. When the foxes are get ting your hens, let us know. Georgia foxes are fine _game and as such they are entitled to pro tection. At the same time they |are predatory animals and if they iinterfere with organized poultry raising, they must be controlled. We cannot allow any Georgia cit izen to suffer from too numerous foxes. * I Here’s looking for more game in ;Georgia.

Ly = What's The News In Your Section? You probably noticed that we've talked about crimson ciover in “this space for several times, Well, the other day Rev, Luke Johnson, from up at Gainesville, sent us a letter about clover, and we're putting it in here bhecause we think you folk'll enjoy reading it. | “I have b2en much interested in the discussion of crimson clover,” Mr. Johnson writes, ‘“and can’'t rest the impulse to give some history of and personal ex- Perience with it. “My father, Col. Luke G. John son of Cherokee Corner community introduced crimson clover into Geor gia, if not indeed inte the U, S. In the 60's, ha stepped into the office of the Sowuthern Cultivator, then published by Dr. Jones, to pay his subscription. Dr. Jones handed him an agricultural publi cation, published in France, con ‘taining an article on the said clover. Father being a French scholar, read the description of the clover, and -had Dr. Jones to order a supply of seed for him from France. I was with my father at the time and recall the circum stancce vividly, “In September of that year he sowed a small patch in front of the home acrpss the road. People from all over Oglethorpe county came to look at it. To make a long story short he gave two friends some se2d, Mr, Jack Collier and “Dick Hargrove.” The first name of this beautiful clover was “French Clover.” From time to time as its cultivation extended up to the pre sent day it was known as Animal Clover,” “French Clover”, and last of all, “Crimson Clover,” My shoul ders ache today, as I recall the hamper baskets full, which fell to my lot to cut and carry to the milch cows, as long as it was green, 2 “When I was pastor of First Church, Dalton I enriched with it my gardsn that was formerly a brick yard, “pipe clay,” and too poor to sprout peas.” By the time i left Dalton—four years, it grew corn equal to the richest bottom land. I tried to raise a garden on the barren soil in the spring and summer of my first year but it was a failure. I sowed crimson clover in September of that year and the remaining three years. Mr. Frank Hardwick, banker, used to stop en route to his bank and look at it, and his humorous way would always say, ‘The Lord spoiled a mighty farmer to make a sorry preacher out of you. l Here is my experience with it at ‘Dalton, First, I sowed the seed as early in September as the mois ture favored, raking in the soil *with a garden rake. Second, by | December, I grazed my pony and .milch cow each Inorning a short while and kept this up until usual 1y in March it was tall enough to (mow and feed green. Third, I kept ‘this up until the blooms wrre ripe, then cut it for hay, and iplowed it in, The root is equal to red clover in nodules contain2d ni ‘trogen, and together with the stalk | decomposes so rapidly as to ferti -Iliz tha corn and garden wonder fully. ° “My father sowed it with wheat and once let grow to ripe seed top and plowed in the soil. The land is seeded for years afterward, this clover coming up with the grain, Of course, good soil grows it and every othe crop, batter. But it will enrich any soil rapidly if allowed to grow to seed. I must warn against feeding the second crop to horses, because it sala vates them. But cows and hogs never.” Thank you a mighty lot, Rev, Johnson, We know that the folks who read this column enjoyed that letter just as much as we did. it's a mighty interesting one, and your experiences with the clover are sure worth repeating, Let us hear from you again. There isn’'t mueh room left for much else, but there’'s one little thing that's right interesting. Dr. iL.. G, Hardeman says that out in his mountain place, they make ‘butter on a billard table. He got a billiard table a while ago, and ripped the green felt cover off. That left a smooth and pretty a board as you ever saw, and they use that instead of the usual mar ble stone slab, AROUND LOCAL CONTRACT TABLES The most outstanding bridge event of the past week was the final meeting of the Business Girls Bridgé club.
