Deer season is “just around the corner”, to put it tritely, and he who does not act fast will greet opening day in a state of unpreparedness and less likely to bring home a buck than the fellow who is ready when the sun peeps over the horizon on the first day of the season. From personal observations and reports of rangers and game management techni cians, this deer season should be a good one. Last winter’s frigid temperatures contrib uted greatly toward keeping down screw worms and few deer were lost to diseases. Then, too, the results of state and private management haven’t hurt the deer herd, either. As a matter of fact, game technicians feel that Geor gia’s population of deer is now at an all-time high. State man agement has played a key role in the steady increase which is witnessed every year. ( Fulton Lovell With the coming of each deer season, I am always reminded of the story concerning the old man who was teaching his grandson some of the finer points of stalking and shooting an elusive deer. His graduation day near, the boy was given a chance to hunt with grandpappy and put into practice all the lessons he had learned. As it happened, grandpappy “jumped” a buck and got at least three good shots before the animal bounded over the ridge and out of sight. “There he goes gramps,” the boy shouted. “There he goes . . . You must’ve missed him.” “Yea, there he goes,” echoed grandpappy. “But I didn’t miss him. Son,. there went a dead deer.” The good fishing days which we have been having recently are presenting problems to some farmers. They have a hard time to make up their minds whether to work in the fields, fix fences or go fishin’. (Quoted in “Oklahoma Wildlife.”) Newspapers and magazines are continually praising modern medicine and tranquilizers. I can think of nothing more tran quilizing than watching a cork bob up and down or tightening a line for the gentle tug of a white perch. This is the kind of therapy no pill can provide. Rockfish Planted in Clark Hill The South Carolina Department of Resources announced recently that 562 yearling striped bass have been liberated in Clark Hill Reservoir. If Palmetto State biologists have the success with rock fish in Clark Hill that they have enjoyed in their own Santee Cooper impoundment, Georgia fishermen are in for a treat. South Carolina has developed the only abundant population of land-locked striped bass that I know of. There has been hope that Georgia could accomplish the same in newly impounded Lake Seminole but as yet there has been no indication that progress has been made. However, our fingers are still crossed. Finally, this story. Some figure-bug has arrived at the con clusion that American taxpayers shelled out over $50,000,000 last year for cleaning up rubbish along our highways. This does not include, he points out, the dollars and cents payed by municipal, state and national parks for grounds and campsite cleaning. Next time you are tempted to discard litter, try a garbage can. It doesn’t cost as much when you do.

HUNGERFORD Management Agronomist Crop residues and weed growth can be used to improve soil condition and to lead to higher yields. The mixing of organic materials into the soil causes the soil to hold both moisture and fertility. This means that short dry spells will not hurt plant de velopment because the organic matter enables the soil to store up readily available water. It al so means that fertilizer is less likely to leach through the soil in wet spells because it is held by the organic matter. There are other benefits to be received from properly handling residues. Some of these are improved areation of the soil, resistance of the soil to wind and water erosion, im proved tilth and favorable soil temperatures. An old French recipe for rab bit stew began with “First, catch the rabbit. . .” To manage crop residues, they must first be pro duced. Seeding and fertilizing for high corn yield is a good way to do this. In the case of corn; cul tivating shallow and laying by early, along with high fertiliza tion, will produce large amounts of residue. Hundred bushels per acre has been found to make the following amounts of dry matter: 1 Leaves — 1531 pounds. Stems — 3462 pounds. Husks — 1179 pounds. Cobs — 989 pounds. Grain — 5723 pounds.

If the corn crop were com bined and only the grain remov ed, there would be 12,511 pounds or approximately six tons of resi due available for use in soil building. Peanuts, cotton and to bacco produce much less than corn. Com properly managed, can provide both winter soil cover and organic matter for soil improvement but cotton, peanuts, and tobacco cannot. Therefore, the efficient place to grow winter legumes, cover crops or winter grazing would be fol lowing these crops. Os course, winter legumes and grazing crops can follow corn without harm to the land but are not needed for soil protection because the corn residues can be used for winter cover. Proper management and utili zation of residues and weed growth means shredding the mat erials and leaving them on or near the surface through the win ter. Rotary mowers leave resi dues in fine shape for furnishi-ng soil cover and replenishing soil organic matter. Organic matter plowed down deep is of litle val ue in soil improvement. The greatest benefits from organic matter come when the residues are mixed with the soil to plow depth.

Cotton Crop One of Best In History Georgia farmers are harvesting one of the best cotton crops on the smallest number of acres in the state’s history. There are good reasons for this, according to D. L. Branyon, cotton specialist for the Agricultural Extension Ser vice, University of Georgia Col lege of Agriculture. Favorable weather for cotton production prevailed over a large part of the state during the sea son, but Branyon said that four other factors, equally important to good cotton production, have contributed to the unusually high yields. First, the more successful cotton growers planted their cot ton on good land, and then ap plied high rates of high-analysis fertilizers. Third, they practiced good programs for insect control, and fourth, they followed recom mended cultural practices. Branyon said that the 376 pounds of lint per acre estimated by the Georgia Crop Reporting Service on September 1 may be raised close to 400 pounds. He pointed out that many farmers over the state are picking an average of from one to two bales per acre on their entire acreage. (An average bale weighs 500 pounds.) Cotton quality is the best in years, staple length is good — from one to one and one sixteenth inches — and most cot ton is grading “middling” or bet ter. for With such high yields a record number of farmers should quali fy for the Georgia Bale and A Half Cotton Club, Branyon said. Any farmer who produces an ave rage of 750 pounds of lint cotton or more per acre on all the acre age he has in cotton this year is eligible to join this exclusive club. Eligible growers should apply to their county agent before December 15, he added. The Georgia Bale and A Half Cotton Club is sponsored* coop eratively by the Agricultural Ex tension Service and commercial firms which are interested direct ly and indirectly in the cotton industry, Branyon continued. Members are presented with membership keys and certificates of merit for their achievements. Georgia’s cotton acreage this year — 398,000 acres according to the Crop Reporting Service — is the smallest since crop reporting began in 1866. Planted acreage this year is about 44 percent of the state’s cot’.on acreage allot ment of 896,11)6 acres.
