On The Farm
Production Front
By B. B. CAMPBELL, County Agent
Locusts appear every seventeen
years. They appeared in 1936 and
1919 and are due in 1953, appearing
first in the south and later moving
to northern states, affecting about
seventeen states including Georgia.
They will probably appear in Georgia
in late April or early May. The fe
male digs holes in trees or bushes or
shrubs and lays her eggs. The boring
of the holes into the twigs oftimes
causes damage to them. They espec
ially prefer hickory, apple, peach and
pear trees and grape vines; espec
ially are young trees damaged. Most
controls are not too efective. Locust
will probably disappear in early July
after the eggs hatch and the grub of
the locusts burrow into the ground
and remain another seventeen years.
Scholarships are available again in
1953 for high school graduates with
good scholastic records who are in
terested in entering the college of
agriculture. I have application forms
for any farm boy desiring to file ap
plication.

relative to vaccination program. His
recommendations are for small home
flock owners to vaccinate for fowl
pox only. For commercial flocks with
400 hens or more a definite control
program should be followed for New
castle, fowl pox, and bronchitis.
Three definite plans are given for his
vaccination program: (1) Vaccinate
with Webwing Newcastle disease vac
cine at four to five weeks of age.
(2) Vaccinate with fowl pox vaccine
at eight to nine weeks of age. (3)
Infest with bronchitis at eleven
weeks of age. Plan number two dif
fers from the above plan in that vac
cination for Newcastle is given at
14 days and again at 18 weeks of age.
A relatively new disease of cotton
called fungus blight has been obser
ved in Butts county. It was observed
in Georgia in the late thirties. The
effects of this disease was especially
noticeable in Butts county last year.
It was found on several farms and
definitely determined to be fungus
blight which first showed up in
south Georgia several years ago. This
fungus disease appears early in the
season on small cotton plants and is
especially active in cool, wet weather

Salt Water Fishing Licenses Dead Ahead!
THERE seems to be a tidal wave of conservationists who
favor the establishment of a license for salt water sports
fishing. Without a doubt such a license one day will become
... law in Georgia. It may not come for five or
ten years but come it will.
California long ago put on a salt
water fishing license and what’s more,
stepped in with limits on the catch.
HhF Louisiana now has a salt water fishing
license. **
Mention of a salt water fishing
■k%kHß license in the legislature in Maryland
brought forth violent protests. For the
time being, the Maryland waters will
remain free but the fight is a long way
from over. Eventually the law will go into effect.
North Carolina is reported to be asking for a salt-water
sports fishing license and stands a fair chance of getting it
It is reasonable to assume that South Carolina will carefully
study this move. If North Carolina gets the law, it is a safe
bet South Carolina also will ring the bell with a similar
measure. Like chain-reaction, Georgia would naturally be
keenly aware of South and North Carolina measures.
Surely there will be a scream of protest from thousands
of salt water anglers. The conservationists say our salt water
fishing needs improvement. Improvements are available only
through research. It has been established that our knowledge
on salt water sports fish is indeed scant.
For research we need trained marine fisheries biolo
gists and they cost money. We also need laboratories,
boats and equipment. A larger enforcement program
would be necessary. Without enforcement, arrests and
stiff fines, the whole program would collapse.
Salt water sports fishing licenses would provide an un
predictable source of revenue for the Game and Fish Com
mission. The coastal unit of enforcement, as it stands today,
has operated in the red for years. The income from our com
mercial fishing industry is insufficient to sustain the Depart
ment operations. This valuable coastal organization is main
tained from funds received from fishermen and hunters
throughout the State. This new license may or may not be
sufficient to bring this coastal unit out of the red.

c
Additional Money Under Dingell Bill
Starting in July, the Dingell Bill will become a part of the
State wildlife program. At this time, conservationists will
increase their demands for a salt water sports fishing license
since Georgia’s share of this money will be based on the
number of license holders, the size of the State and its waters.
According to information from a Game and Fish offi
cial, it would be necessary to purchase a single license
which entitles you to fish : ng rights in either fresh or salt
water at no increase in price. In brief, your State fishing
license is all you need. Only fishermen who fish salt water
exclusively would be affected.
It has been pointed out that it isn’t fair for the fresh water
fisherman to buy a license and occasionally take home a two
pound bass, while the salt water angler catches a hundred
sport fish which would average two pounds or more each —
all for free.
Georgia’s only income from salt water fishing is paid by
commercial fishermen. They pay a boat tax and a poundage
tax on shrimp. This amount is inadequate to pay for Coastal
operations. Sports fishermen have demanded the sounds
remain closed. These anglers pay no license or boat tax.

Why Cats Get Nervous
A Texas man caught a three-foot alligator under his bam
floor. Another Texan owns a cat which mothered 70 kittens
last year and is now momma to 9 baby ’possums and 4 aban
doned skunks.... A squirrel was found in the nose of a B-36
bomber and a wild duck took up residence in a cold storage
plant with her four little ones. . . . The mole was one of the
first to build a bomb shelter. These animals spend most of
their lives underground, often in a series of subterranean
tunnels 12 to 18 inches beneath the surface. . . . Cats are
nervous just before a storm, because the air is then over
charged with the electric fluid to which cats are extremely
sensitive.

in early spring. Hot sunshine and dry
weather usually stops the disease. It
was observed last year on the farm of
R. M. Smith, L. R. Dodson and J. M.
McMichael. I am sure that it was
also present in many other farms in
the county. It is carried over during
the winter by old cotton plants and
other litter in cotton fields. The only
method of control up to the present
time was crop rotation. The symp
toms of the disease are spots appear
ing on the leaves, the leaves appear
as though hot water had been poured
over them. A severe outbreak may
kill so many plants that the stand is
destroyed. Some tests will be set up
in the county this year to study the
effect of application of copper DDT
compound as soon as the cotton has
come up to a stand. It might be that
this dust will be effective in control
ing the disease. Farmers, however,
should watcll young cotton very
carefully for this condition as well
as thrips, flea hoppers, lice and other
insect damage appearing on cotton
for approximately one month after
the cotton comes up.

Tax Equalizers
Begin Check of
1953 Tax Books
The checking of 1953 tax returns
has been started by the Board of
Tax Equalizers, R. E. Evans, Wade
Watkins and Elmer Cawthon. The
board began the work of reviewing
1953 returns as made to Tax Re
cover J. |Edward Carmichael, on
April 1.
The board will likely be in session
the lookout for blight, especially on
beans and tomatoes. Considerable
damage has already been done in
Florida and extreme south Georgia
Plants usualy die, beginning at the
ground and show a wilty condition
when attacked by blight. It is espec
ially bad during wet weather. It can
be controlled with copper dusts in
combination with other dusts if de
sired, or alone.
BE CAUTIOUS
When You Deal With Strangers
Instances continue to come to light of Butts
county people being victimized by high-pressure tac
tics, inferior merchandise, high prices and various
schemes when dealing with strangers, usually tran
sient or itinerant vendors.
WE CANT BE TOO CAUTIOUS IN SUCH
DEALINGS. BEFORE YOU INVEST—INVESTI
GATE. Get competitive prices from local people.
Better still —always patronize our home mer
chants. They are your friends, here day in and day
out to stand back of what they sell. They build your
community—OUß community. Their prices are
usually lower. Don’t learn the lesson the hard way.

returns will be reviewed and where
property was not returned for taxa
tion efforts will be made to place it
on the books for 1953 collection.
The tax receiver closed his books
on April 1, the last day for applying
for personal property and home
stead exemption. Farmers residing
on their own acreage are entitled
to $2,000 in real estate exemptions
and S3OO for household and kitchen
furniture.
When the local board completes
its work the tax digest for the year
will be compiled and submitted to
the State Revenue Department for
approval. The tax rate is usually
levied by the Board of County Com
missioners in September and taxes
are payable between October 15 and
December 20.
Last year Butts county had a net
tax digest of $2,106,495, after all
exemptions. That was an increase of
$41,183 over the previous year.
