Hunting Season
On Certain Birds
Given by Lovell
Fulton Lovell, director of the
Georgia Game and Fish Commis
sion, announced this week that
the official dates for open season
on rails, gallinules, woodcocks
and doves have been set for
1956-57.
The open season for rails and
gallinules is from September 20th
through November 28th, 1956.
The bag limit on these birds is
four daily, and the hunter can
not have over eight in his posses
sion. The hours of hunting are
from sunrise to sunset.
The open season on woodcocks
is from December 11th through
January 20th. The bag limit is
eight with not over eight in the
possession of the hunter. Hunt
ing hours are from sunrise to
sunset.
The open season on doves has
been divided into two separate
seasons. According to Mr. Lovell/
this was done in order to provide
good hunting seasons for all sec
tions of the state. The first season
will begin on the morning of
September 15th, and will last
until sunset on September 29th.
The second season will begin on
the morning of December 17th
and will last until sunset on
January 10th, 1957. Both seasons
will be state wide.
DON'T GET CHllieo
BUT DO KEEP CLEAN
Small Grains
Have Dual Role
Small grain is one crop that
helps Georgia farmers kill two
birds with one stone.
J. R. Johnson, Extension Serv
ice agronomist and project lead
er at the College of Agriculture,
pointed out that it will furnish
grazing during the winter and
still produce good grain yields.
He said oats occupy more acres
than any other single small grain
crop. They should not be plant
ed on the same land more often
than once every three years, the
agronomist continued.
Johnson suggested preparing a
good seedbed and planting cer
tified, treated seed for best re
sults.
As for varieties, Victorgrain
48-93, Fulgrain, or Arlington
were recommended. “In the
mountains,” Johnson continued,
“Forkedeer may be used because
of its winter hardiness. Floriland
is good in South Georgia.”
Farmers planning to use the
crop for both grazing and grain
were advised to plant four bush
els per acre. For grain alone,
two bushels are enough.
Johnson said good planting
dates in North Georgia are Sep
tember 20 to October 15. Small
grains can be planted in South
Georgia anytime during October.
A soil test was said to be very
helpful in determining fertiliza
tion rates. General recommenda
tions call for 300 to 400 pounds
of 4-12-12 and 40 to 50 pounds
of nitrogen per acre. The Exten
sion agronomist said areas sown
for the dual purpose of grazing
and grain should have a top
dressing of 80 to 100 pounds of
nitrogen in split applications.
“The first application should be
at planting or soon after the
plants come up, the second in
February pr early March.”
Johnson also cited wheat and
Abruzzi rye as crops that are
gaining favor with Georgia far
mers. He said county agents can
furnish information regarding va
rieties, land preparation, planting
dates, fertilization, and other fac
tors.
The agronomist said small
grain acreage should be increas
ed in Georgia because of the
growing demand for a close ‘grow
ing crop as a substitute for com.
WHEN TO CUT
COASTAL FOR HAY
Coastal Bermuda grass should
be cut for hay when it is 15 to 18
inches tall. That’s the word from
Extension Agronomist Frank Mc-
Gill of the College of Agriculture.
He says the next three cuttings
should be taken at five-weeks in
ervals, except during extended
summer droughts.
When you cook foods to be
frozen, cool them quickly, Agri
cultural Extension Service nutri
tionists advise. This can be done
by setting the uncovered pan of
food on ice or in ice water.
Mat to Do in Case
Windstorm Strikes
Violent windstorms each year
cause untold damage and loss of
life which often can be avoided
if a few precautions are taken.
Here is how to protect yourself,
your family, your property.
TORNADOES
Tornadoes, most destructive of
all storms, may appear with little
warning. Fact action is necessary
to escape their fury.
Safest place to be during a
torando is underground in a
storm cellar. Next best is within
a reinforced concrete or steel
framed building, near an inside
wall away from all windows.
At home, if no storm cellar is
near, a corner of the basement
nearest the approaching tornado
is safest, particularly in wood
frame houses. If in a basement
less house, seek shelter elsewhere
— even an open ditch offers some
protection.
Avoid auditoriums, gymnas
iums, other buildings having
large area roofs relatively light
ly anchored. They may collapse.
In open country move at right
angles to the tornado’s path.
Most tornadoes travel at 25 to
40 miles an hour. A person in
an automobile can usually out
run one. If there is no time to
escape, lie flat in the nearest
ditch, ravine, or other depression.
Don’t stay in an automobile
which may be rolled over and
crushed.
HURRICANES
Hurricanes affect much larger
areas than tornadoes, but their
vfinds are not as strong. Adequ
ate warning of their approach is
usually available so that pre
cautions can be taken to prevent
injuries and damage. Measures
which minimize hurricanes dam
age are equally valuable in other
windstorms of lesser, but none
the-less destructive, magnitude.
The National Board of Fire
Underwriters suggests the fol
lowing precautions:
BEFORE A STORM
Before a storm, tune to radio
and television broadcasts of lat
est Weather Bureau information.
In case of power failure, a
battery-powered radio will come
in handy.
Go inland. Get away from
beaches and the low waterfront
which may be swept by storm
waves. Hurricanes bring abnorm
ally high tides, high waves.
If your passage to safety is
over a road likely to be under
water, leave early. Otherwise you
may be trapped by high winds
and rising waters preceding the
arrival of the storm center by
several hours. Travel at the
height of the storm is exceedingly
dangerous.
If your house is out of danger
of waves and is substantially
built — anchored to strong found
ations and with its roof securely
fastened — it’s possibly the best
place for you to stay.
Put loose material and mov
able objects such as garbage cans
and porch furniture where they
cannot be blown against the
building or through a window.
Movable awnings should be
raised and securely tied or re
moved entirely.
Keep trees pruned away from
your home. Dead branches, over
hanging branches, and those
which may sway against win
dows or roof are the most likely
to cause damage.
In seriously threatened areas
board up windows or put storm
shutters in place, at least on the
sides exposed to the most violent
winds. Shutters should be secure
ly fastened several hours in ad
vance of the expected arrival
of the storm. They are difficult
to handle in a high wind.
Use good lumber and attach it
firmly to the building. Make
shift boarding or insecure shut
ters often blow loose, do more
damage than none at all.
Garage doors and others hav
ing large exposed areas must be
secured particularly well.
Sterilize and fill jugs, bottles
or cooking utensils with fresh
water. The water supply may
fail. A tub filled with water may
be useful, too.
One or more windows can be
kept open on the lee side — the
side opposite that from which the
wind is coming — to provide
some ventilation and, under cer
tain conditions, to prevent wind
damage.
If wind or flying objects make
an opening on the windward side
of the building, wind pressure
will build up within the building.
Having an opening on the left
side will allow this pressure to
escape, minimizing the interior
forces tending to lift the roof
or push out the walls.
Only small openings are advis
able as long as the windward
side remains intact. But as soon
as windows are broken additional
openings should be provided on
the left side to help equalize the
pressure.
Have a flashlight in good
working condition readily avai
able. Be careful of fire. If oil
lamps or candles must be used
for emergency lighting, use them
carefully. In an emergency a
bucket of sand can be used to
absorb spilled fuel or to smother
a small oil fire. Better still would
be a fire extinguisher of a type
approved for use on flammable
liquids. Be sure it is in good
condition and you know how to
use it.
Have extra food on hand, food
that can be eaten with little or
no cooking. Remember electric
power failure may leave you
without refrigeration
Emergency cooking facilities
should be in safeworking condi
tion. Be particularly careful with
appliances in questionable con
dition because of long disuse.
They may cause a fire.
after a storm
After a storm, don’t hinder
first aid and rescue work. Un
less qualified to render valuable
emergency assistance, stay away
from disaster areas.
If you must drive immediately
after a storm, drive carefully.
Watch for fallen wires and tree
branches. In coastal areas or
near swollen streams, beware of
wash-outs and undermined pave
ment.
Don’t touch dangling or loose
power lines or electric wires. In
a storm the live power lines may
become entangled v^th metal
fences, telephone and other wires.
Contact, in some cases, would
be fatal.
Even after water service is
restored, it may be wise to boil
or sterilize drinking water until
otherwise advised by your local
health department.
Be careful of fire at all times.
Damaged communications may
result in a delayed fire alarm;
debris-obstructed streets can slow
response of fire apparatus and
low water pressure can make
fire fighting difficult.

Attorney General
Asks Assembly
Probe of NAACP
Atty. Gen. Eugene Cook has
called on members of the Gen
eral Assembly to support his
proposed resolution that would
authorize the State of Georgia to
investigate the internal affairs of
the NAACP.
The Attorney General has re
leased to the press and mailed
to members and prospective
members of the General Assem
bly a proposed resolution that
would create a joint legislative
committee to pry into the activi
ties of the Negro group.
Mr. Cook said the proposed
committee would be empowered
to determine:
1. Whether the illegal prac
tice of barratry, or solicitation of
funds for the purpose of bring
ing suits into courts, is being
carried on by the NAACP.
2. Whether the NAACP should
be forced to pay state income
taxes.
3. Whether amendments to the
state’s subversive Activities Act
should be amended.
Mr. Cook’s prepared statement
attached to the proposal stated
that “it has been demonstrated
beyond any doubt that the
NAACP (National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People) is an enemy of the
South . .”
Mr. Cook called on the “legis
latures and appropriate state of
ficials of every Southern state to
unite in an all-out fight to liqui
date this particular enemy of the
South and Constitutional Govern
ment."
He recalled that a year ago he
submitted in a speech before the
Peace Officers’ Association of
Georgia “authentic information”
demonstrating that a majority of
the officers and directors of the
NAACP “have Communist or
subversive records, and that
their ‘special legal and education
fund’ is subsidized by Commun
ists and enemies of the Southern
area of our country.”
“The charges have never been
answered,” he said, “even though
more than one million copies of
the address (The Ugly Truth a
bout the NAACP) have been cir
culated in pamphlet form by the
Citizens’ Councils of several Sou
thern states.”
In 1955, 37,800 Americans were
killed in traffic accidents.
