In its final meeting before Georgia’s lawmakers begin ses sions in January, the committee decided such a license is the only solution to financial problems in coastal waters. The committee proposes a li cense costing $1.25 for all salt water fishermen. Revenue from the licenses will be used for re search, development and enforce ment on coastal waters, the com mittee said. “Georgia s oyster industry has declined fast,” said Rep. Roscoe Denmark of Liberty County, a committee member. “It is time something was done to revive it.” Director Fulton Lovell of the Game and Fish Commission told the committee it would take at least $90,000 and a two-year re- fatty* 1957 co In the traditional manner, we wish for you a happy holiday.

He said it will be necessary to replant oys ters and survey oyster bottoms to determine ownership. Presently, Georgia requires no license for salt water fishing.

A spokesman for the commit tee said it was recommended that Georgia’s resident fishing license (cost $1.25) be extended to in clude salt water. In doing this, he said, salt water sport fishermen will not be forced to buy a special license. They will simply be required to own a valid state license, good in both fresh and salt water. “I am willing to bet half the people on the coast do not buy fishing licenses,” he said 1 “There fore, they do not provide their share of revenue, yet they enjoy the same pleasure as inland fish ermen.

Nahunta Parts & Service NAHUNTA, GEORGIA End Seen to 'Farm Bloc' Huntsville, Ala. — “The farm bloc,” long a potent force in A merican politics, will be an “od dity of the past, referred to only in history books” 25 years from now, according to Austin Kiplin ger, executive editor of the Kip linger Washington Letter. “There will be no such thing as the ‘farm states’ in American politics by 1982,” the Washington editor told an audience of south ern businessmen here. “The agri cultural states will became in creasingly industralized. This process has already begun. Last year, for example, farm families received one-third, or 6.7 billion dollars of their income from work done away from the farm. By 1982, we predict that fully half the income of farm families will come from non-farm work, from employment in light indus try, service trades, and other jobs. “Who will produce the food? “The mechanization of farms has already enabled us to pro duce more with fewer farm workers. This process will con tinue. In 25 years, American farms will produce one-third more food and fiber with 40 per cent fewer arm workers,” the editor told his audifence. “The political effect of this economic change will be that the farm bloc will begin to share the viewpoint of the industrial states. We will see fewer and fewer of those classic legislative and political struggles between agri cultural and industrial interests,” the Washington editor said. Agricultural Extension Service agronomists say a soil test is the best and most practical way to determine the right kind and a mount of fertilizer to use.
