GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT STOCKS
DEER IN FIFTY GEORGIA COUNTIES
The State Game and Fish
Commission has announc
ed the completion of the
most ambitious deer stock
ing program in history.
Commission Director
Fulton Lovell said his agen
cy released 800 Virginia
Whitetails in 50 Georgia
counties and four state
management areas.
The deer were purchased
by the state from Wiscon
sin and Texas and trans
ported here by Game and
Fish Department personnel.
“We chose not to make
a public announcement of
the program until its com
pletion,” Lovell said, “to
offset public pressure de
manding that we stock the
deer in unsuitable areas.”
“We feel that this stock
ing program is one of the
most important undertak
ings of the Commission in
many years,” Lovell com
mented.
“Within the next 10
years, we expect to find
deer in every Georgia coun
ty capable of providing
them with adequate food
and other requirements.”
The stockings resulted
from a wide examination of
suitable deer habitat in the
state and animals were re
leased only in areas where
biologists felt they would
surivive and reproduce.
All of the counties in
cluded in the program will
be closed for deer hunting
for at least five years. This,
Lo”ell pointed out, is a re
o»’: ement of the federal

Chiklren receive tetanus shots
routinely as a part of their “DPT”
series. The “T” among the letters
stands for the tetanus toxiod. All
members of the armed forces re
ceive the shots. Everyone — a

should be protected againts teta

ly likely to come in contact with
tetanus germs should make a
special effort to get the shots. But
the city gardner needs them too.

areas, Lovell said, to in

tunity to populate the chos
en areas.
The Director requested
citizens to report to the
Commission any of the deer
found dead, crippled or
struck by autos.
The problem of free-run
ning dogs is also one
great concern to the Co
mission, Lovell said.
fertilize shrubs
Fertilizer should be applied to
shrubbery in split applications to
avoid injury to the plants. The
first application should be made
just before vigorous vegetative
growth begins in the spring. Se
cond application should be made
in May or June, and .a third ap
plication may be needed in early
August, especially in sandy soils.
County agents can give recom
mendations for fertilizing shrubs,
says Extension Horticulturist
Gerald Smith.

erans and their beneficiaries.
An average of 114 disabled

Tetanus symptoms usually ap
pear from four days to three
weeks after the germs enter a
I wound. It usually begins with
stiffness and pain in the neck and
jaw muscles Delay in recognizing
the disease and in applying treat
ment greatly decreases chance for
recovery. Most deaths occur be
fore the fourth day.
Anyone seeing a person in the
throes of a convulsion brought
on by tetanus would need no fur
ther urging to get the shots. They
are available at doctors’ offices
and health clinics.

Yes, it’s mighty hard to believe —that
