Moody, Lonnie Aldridge, Herman Talmadge REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE OVER THE YEARS the draft has proven necessary to meet the military manpower needs of the nation, and it has generally done the job. In any such Selective Service system as we have, there are bound to be unavoidable flaws and built-in inequities. This has always been so, and it will always be so long as it remains neces sary to fill out the ranks of our Armed Forces by mandatory military service. Hardships will be worked upon certain individuals. Educa tion will be interrupted, and careers postponed. Some will meet their military service with the same degree of enthusiasm in volved in taking a dose of bad medicine. Others will regard it as the fulfillment of a citizen’s duty and responsibility to his country. In any event, it should always be’our aim to remove as many inequities in the draft as we can, to minimize the hardships, and to exert every possible effort to make military service more attrac tive and profitable. THE CONCEPT OF A volunteer army is naturally appeal ing. It sounds fine. It would be a good thing to have physically able and mentally competent men step forward as willing volun teers for the nation’s military service. Unfortunately, at least at this time, it sounds too good to be true. There are several reasons to believe that this just won’t hap pen. In 1947, following World War 11, compulsory service was abandoned, and the Army's strength fell to a perilously low level. The draft was reinstated. Approximately 60 per cert of our military service is com posed of men provided directly or indirectly by the draft. With the abundance of high-paying civilian jobs and educational oppor tunities, it would be difficult indeed to induce that number to enlist voluntarily. IF SUCH A TIME comes that enlistments meet our military requirements, then there will be no need for the draft. But until that happy time arrives, we need to be very careful about tamper ing with the Selective Service System. I would vote to abolish the draft when and if it becomes evident that a voluntary service system would work. We should continue to seek that goal. But I don’t believe the draft can be eliminated outright at this time.

But instead you returned with a tired body, sore feet and thor oughly disgusted that you had seen very little game. If you hunt much, you probably have experienced such trips. Your hunting trips need not end this way. The secret to having .more game and better hunting is somewhat like hav ing corn or cotton — you sim ply farm for it. Farming for game is not a dif ficult task for about all that it involves is planting food and occasionally providing cover for the game you wish to bene fit. The best time to start farm ing for game is now because most wildlife food and cover crops will have time to ma ture by hunting season. Since food is one of the most important requirements of wildlife, one of the first steps in farming for game is to make sure there is plenty of food available during the critical. food-short season from November through early spring. Furthermore, this food should be located near land covered with trees, briar patch es and other vegetation that will provide protection from adverse weather and enemies. In addition to providing food, these patches tend to concen- Slash Pine Area Leaders to Meet And Discuss Highway Development City and county officials and civic leaders of the Slash Pine Area of nine counties will meet in Nahunta Tuesday, March 18, to discuss highway needs and other area develop- j merit proposals. The meeting is sponsored by the Slash Pine Transportation BULLETINS CITE WEED CONTROL IN STATE CROPS Weeds can be controlled in fruit, nut, vegetable and field crops. That’s the message Dr. James F. Miller, agronomist with the University of Georgia Co operative Extension Service, has for commercial producers of these crops. Dr. Miller tells how to con trol weeds in three new publi cations which are available at local county Extension agents’ offices. Inside the publications, Dr. Miller provides producers quick reference charts listing the crop, herbicides to use and number of pounds needed per acre. He also provides infor mation on time and type of applications recommended for each crop. Dr. Miller points out that herbicides are “plant killers” and should be treated as such He reminds producers to fol low Extension recommenda tions and label precautions to avoid possible damage to de sirable plants.

Cover usually is not a factor that limits the increase of wildlife, but in some cases it might. Where there is need for more cover, wildlife bor ders and hedges should be es tablished. This can easily be done by planting strips and patches of bicolcr and other shrub lespedezas, sericea les pedeza and multiflora rose. Sometimes there is too much cover or it is too thick. In such cases, it can be reduced or thinned by disking or mowing strips through the area or by prescribed burning. In wooded areas, the periodic thinning and harvesting of timber usually serves to keep cover from get ting too thick. Prescribed burn ing of wooded areas is also a good method for maintaining cover conditions favorable to wildlife. Information and tips to help you do a better job of farming for wildlife is available from your county agent. Be sure to request a copy of Extension Circular 578 entitled “Wild life Plantings.” This circular provides tips on planting food for quail, doves, ducks, deer and rabbits. In addition, your county agent can provide de tails on fertilizer requirements and other cultural practices for various wildlife food plant ings.
