RESTRICT COMPETITION Suggestions for Georgia peach growers trying to increase their yields this year have been offer ed by George Firor, horticultur ist for the Agricultural Exten sion Service. Firor says compet ition from other growth in the orchard should be held to a min imum during the normally dry weather in April and May in order to help promote leaf area and shoot growth. This can be done best by close grazing, mow ing, or shallow cultivation. Mr. and Mrs. High Deardroff of Daytona Beach, Fla., were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. B. Strickland on Monday.

People Along Altamaha Concerned at Pollution METTER, Ga., March 24 —The following news concerning the pollution of the rivers in Geor gia has been given out by the State Game and Fish Commis sion through the Ogeechee Dis trict office in Metter. During the past several years a large number of new industries have moved to Georgia. This of course has added greatly 'to the income of the state, and has made Georgia one of the leading industrial states of the South. Problems Exist Because of the nature of any type of rapid growth or progress, whether in a community, city, or state, there are certain prob lems that must be worked out. According to Fulton Lovell, di rector of State Game and Fish Commission, one of the problems besetting Georgia at this time is that of pollution. “We welcome all types of industry to Georgia,” states Lovell. “We recognize the need for it, and we are proud that Georgia has been chosen as the site for so many industries over the past several years. However, since a great many of our indus tries have located on rivers throughout Georgia, because of their need for water, it has posed a problem for our fishermen and fishing industries. Our big con cern now is to find a suitable solution for all parties involved.” Recently, there have been improved conditions on the prob lem of pollution. For a while, a large number of fish were being killed in certain areas where the water had been polluted. In or der to correct this situation the effluents which were killing the fish have largely been removed. The big problem now is that the water is still polluted enough in some areas to affect the taste and the odor of the fish. Os course, this in turn affects the salability of the fish on the market. In Altamaha One of the main places where this situation exists is on the Al tamaha River, one of Georgia’s largest streams, and from which comes our major supply of shad. According to Mr. Lovell, shad fishing has always represented a large part of the income of the people living along the river. Following is the annual catch for certain years of shad in Georgia.

In each year of 1951 and 1952, which were the last years accurate catch records were ta ken, there was approximately Pfc. Keith Thomas of the 483rdAA Guided Missile Group stationed at Edison, N.

Miss Margie Lu Dryden, Miss Grace Strickland, and Miss Peggy Carter, all of GSCW, also came home to attend the ban quet. * * ♦ Miss Myra Callahan visited Miss Faye Parnell on Sunday. * * * Mrs. John Griffin, Mr. Nolan Davis, Jr., Miss Cynthia Rose Dowling, Miss Francine Carter, and Fred Abercrombie, are sing ing with the Waycross Commun ity Choral Group which will be presented in a Concert of Sunday April Ist at 4:30 at Trinity Metho dist Church. • • ♦ Friends will be happy to hear of the arrival of a lovely baby daughter to Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Warren of Waycross on Sunday, March 25. She has been named Susan Gail. Mrs. Warren is the former Miss Lois Griffin, daugh ter of Mrs. Maggie Page. 150,000 pounds of shad caught on the Altamaha and its tributaries. These shad' have been bringing about $.50 per pound, which rep resents an income of about $75,- 000 a year to the people living along the river. Also, there are 250,000 pounds of catfish caught each year along the Altamaha, which is about $125,000 per year. With the other types of fish caught, the fishing industry along the Altamaha will amount to more than $200,000 per year. In addition to this, there are a great many fish caught which are used as food by those along the river and by people visiting the Altamaha for a weekend of fishing.

Williams announced that since April 15 of this year comes on Sunday, that April 16 will be the deadline for filing State Income Tax returns. He announced that, under Georgia Law, installment pay ments are not allowed unless the total tax exceeds $30.00. He says that agents of the State Revenue Department are con tinuing the cross-check of all Federal returns in order to find persons entitled to be on the Georgia Income Tax rolls, who have failed to make Georgia returns. The penalties involved for fail ing to make a State return are severe from a financial stand point. He cautions each one en titled under the Georgia law to make a State Income Tax return, to make such return be fore the deadline in order to pre vent the required penalties. BROWNTOP MILLET Browntop millet is very palat able and can be used for grazing and hay, according to J. R. John son, Extension Service agrono mist. It works well in rotation with crimson clover and will of ten reseed. Browntop millet does not yield as much as starr millet nor does it have as long a graz ing period. Chemicals may be used in many cases for weed control in small grains, according to Exten sion agronomists. County agents throughout Georgia have infor mation needed in chemical treat ment. Handicrafts made by Georgia Home Demonstration Club wo men in their home industries pro jects sold for more than $36,000 in 1954.
