HUNTING SEASON ON WAY
DURING THIS hot, summer weather, it’s almost unheard
of to think of hunting, but the truth is, it’s just around
the comer. J aruuna

season.
The more liberal bag limit is obviously the result of a nationwide
increase of six percent in the dove population. The U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service announced the increase following its annual nation
wide census.
Georgia’s split season reads like this: first half, Sept 15 through
Oct. 1; second half, Nov. 23 through Jan. 14.
Other migratory seasons set by the Game and Fish Commission are
for woodcock, Dec. 6 to Jan. 14; rails and gallinules, Sept 6 to Nov. 14
and Wilson’s snipe, Dec. 6 to Jan. 14.
Good Squirrel Season Is Forecast
Game management technicians believe there will be as many squirrel^
this fall as ever.
There was a noticeable decrease in squirrels a few years ago.
Hunters became disgruntled and few of them pursued the cagey
animals due to their decreasing numbers.
However, game technicians say they are well on their way back. A
good season, particularly the early one in north Georgia, is the forecast.
TV Salutes Georgia Hunting, Fishing
Georgia’s hunting and fishing will be saluted in a syndicated televi
sion series this fall.
Two conservation films—both produced by the Commission’s
education and information division will be presented to the Ameri
can public via a beverage company’s conservation series this fall.
I have the privilege of boosting Georgia’s hunting in one of the
shows. The other concerns fishing, primarily on Georgia’s lakes and
farm ponds.
Fishing Rodeo A Big Success
The Columbia County Game and Fish Club’s annual fishing rodeo
at Clark Hill is undoubtably another success. Johnny Gray, Pierce
Blanchard and the other staunch club members always go all out to
make a success of anything. This fishing rodeo is no exception.
Prizes go to the contest entries who catch the biggest bass, bream,
crappie and catfish. A big square dance and barbecue also is on tap.
It will be held at the club’s new clubhouse on Clark HilL
Hendry New Satilla President
The Satilla Sportsman’s Club has elected Dr. E. D. Hendry of Way
cross its new president.
In an organizational—or re-organizational it should be—meet
ing in the Ware County courthouse, the group elected Dr. Bill
Brown of Blackshear, vice president; Tom Parker of Waycross,
the staunch conservationist-legislator, secretary and Taylor Zach
ary of Waycross, treasurer.
The club has many problems on which to whet its new teeth. Pollu
tion on the Satilla river is a good starting point.
More than 30 years active practice at the bar.
More than 8 years service as judge.
There's no substitute for experience.

Squirrel season gets underway Sept. 15 in most
north Georgia counties-Fannin, Gilmer, Pickens,
Union, Lumpkin, Dawson, Towns, White, Haber
sham, Rabun and Stephens to be exact ’
That is also the date the first session of a split
dove season gets underway.
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, usually
stiff with its migratory bird framework, came up
with a more liberal offering this year. Dove sea
son is 10 days longer and bag limit was increased
from 10 to 12 daily.
However, the anticipated return to whole
day shooting did not develop. Hunters must
obey the noon to sunset curfew again this

University of
Georgia Alumni
Drive Underway
The 1960 Fund-Membership
Drive of the University of Geor
gia Alumni Society is now under
way in Pierce county.
George Brantley, who is serv
ing as chairman of Pierce county,
has announced that there are 65
Pierce countians who attended or
graduated from the University
and are eligible for membership.
He stated that plans are to con
tact each of these within the next
several weeks.
This year’s goal in the Alumni
Society is 10,000 members.
A recent bulletin of the Univer
sity of Georgia pointed out that
state funds account for only 44
percent of the total expenditures
of the University, and student fees
allow for only 13 per cent. More
and more emphasis is being plac
ed, therefore, on endowment
funds for seeking out and keep
ing outstanding professors on the
campus.
A major effort of the Alumni
Society this year will be the sup
plementing of 125 top-ranking
professors at the University, Mr.
Brantley said.
The University of Georgia
Foundation has allocated SIOO,-
000 for the 1960-61 academic
year, primarily to be used for
faculty supplements and strength
ening the academic program.
Mr. Brantley urges that Geor
gia alumni in Pierce county give
all assistance in promoting the
Alumni Society membership for
this year.
Many Subscriptions
Are Now Expiring,
Renewals Appreciated
Many subscriptions to the
Brantley Enterprise have run out
in July and August and we are
anxious for everyone to renew
at once.
Our system requires that sub
scriptions be paid in advance.
We send you a card notifying you
that your subscription has ex
pired. Then we usually wait TWO
WEEKS after it expires, then we
remove the name from our list.
We regret that we cannot make
exceptions to this rule, as other
wise we would be literally BOG
GED DOWN in a bookkeeping
wilderness.
We really hate to remove the
name of any subscriber from our
list We can truly say, “It hurts
us more than it does you.” But
we MUST have a workable sys
tem, otherwise we are “sunk” a
bookkeeping.
A subscriber who renews on
time is “a joy forever” to the
editor of a weekly newspaper.
Please give us your much-need
ed help in this matter.
Look at the label on your pa
per. If it is “8-60,” your sub
scription expired Aug. 31; and if
it is “9-60,” your subscription
will expire Sept. 30.
The Editor.
EXTREME TEMPERATURES
AFFECT LAYERS
Prevent extreme temperatures
in the laying house, advises Ex
tension poultryman M. Y. Dendy.
Freezing temperatures lower egg
production and severely affect
fertility. Temperatures above 90
degrees also lower egg production
and tend to .make shells thin. Fer
tility is lowered and some deaths
may occur from heat prostration,
especially in heavy breeds, he
says.
SAWDUST FOR MULCH
There are several misconcep
tions about the use of sawdust as
mulch for flowers and shrubs, ac
cording to Gerald Smith, Exten
sion horticulturists. It does not
cause soil to become excessively,
nor does it contain toxic materials
which will injure shrubs. It will,
however, rob soil of its nitrogen
to some extent, thus causing
shrubs to be yellow in color if
adequate fertilizer is not applied,
he said. _____

New Courses Announced at
Waycross Vocational School
The Waycross Vocational
School through its Adult Educa
tion Program will offer courses
for male students who have com
pleted a high school education in
the following trades: auto me
chanics, woodworking, cabinet
making, machine shop, sheet me
tal work, welding and mechanical
drafting.
These courses will vary in
length from 12 months to 24
months depending on the amount
of time per day each student de
voted to his school. Classes will
be held from 8:00 A. M. to 1:00
P. M. which will allow the stu
dent to hold a part time job while
attending school.
The school will be operated
tuition free in cooperation with
the State Department of Voca
tional Education with a nominal
charge being paid by each student
for the supplies and material he
might use during the training
program. The Vocational School
does not guarantee employment
to its graduates but will in every
case aid any student completing
any of the above courses in secur
ing a job for the area in which he
was trained.
Training for these programs
will be held at the vocational
shop at the Air Base until such
time as the proposed Area Trade
School is completed at the Mary
Street School site. It will be
necessary for a student to provide
his own transportation either by
car or by car pools to and from
the shops.
Students will be selected on a
first come, first served basis, and
since equipment and shops are
limited, prospective students are
urged to file application by Au

BUSINESS COLLEGE
In the Business Education De
partment of the Adult Education
Program, is offered a business
college course designed to train
boys and girls in a period of one
or two years to hold jobs as se
cretaries, bookkeepers or recep
tionists. The course will include
elementary and advanced typing,
elementary and advanced book
keeping, shorthand, business Eng
lish, filing, spelling, and use of
office machines.
This business college is offered
tuition free to any student who
has completed a high school edu
cation and has the desire to be
come an employee in an office.
However, a registration fee of
$5.00 per student will be charg
ed at the time of registration.
Each student will be expected to
furnish his own paper, work
books, and practice sets as need
ed. Textbooks will be issued by
the school, but each student will
be allowed to purchase his own
books if he desires.
The school does not guarantee
the placement of its graduates
but will in every case aid any
student in securing a job in the
area for which he is trained. A
student may attend school in the
morning and work in the after
noon in order to help defray liv
ing expenses while attending
school. The school will also offer
any assistance in securing a job
for any student desiring part-time
employment.

CLEANING COTTON
Coton bales are reduced as
much as 30 pounds when two lint
cleaners are used in tandem, says
Arthur B. Bond, Extension cot
ton marketing specialist. Wheth
er such cleaning is profitable to
the grower depends upon wheth
er the weight loss, and in many
cases shortening of staple length,
is offset by the higher price paid
for higher grade cotton.
