ATLANTA (PRN) - The
annual effort to put venison in
the freezer is about to begin
for some 160,000 or more
Georgians. Most gun deer
seasons begin November 6.
But if you haven’t already
started hunting, you’re
narrowing your chances of
getting your deer.
What’s that? Me advocating
hunting out of season? Oh,
no! Never! That is, not with a
gun. I mean just with your
eyes. And right now is the
most important hunting time
you’ll ever spend.
Trying to find a stand, and
a good position, in the
pre dawn darkness on opening
morning is a sure sign that
you’ll have little chance of
bagging your buck.
Time is growing very short,
so you’d better move fast. It’s
time to get hunting permission
from a landowner. If you have
that nailed down, then you’d
better start doing your
scouting. Find some trails that
have fresh signs, such as fresh
tracks, droppings, rubs, and
indications that feeding has
been going on in the area. It
pays to find two or three
locations for a stand, so you’ll
have an alternate. And it isn’t
a bad idea to check all such
spots at least twice before the
season begins, to assure deer
are still using the area. The
final check should be a couple
of days before the season
opens.
Some hunters like to hunt
from one stand in the
morning, and another in the
afternoon. Seasoned hunters
know what types of spot deer
are likely to use at different
times of the day.
Most hunters feel that if
they’re not in their stands well
before the first crack of dawn,
they’re hurting. Yet, I’ve
known hunters who prefer to
go afield about midmorning,

it away! in Polish! 7^"-*

Are You Ready
For Deer Season?
and hunt during the noonday
lull that nearly everyone else
ignores. Which is best? Well,
that depends on personal taste
and style of hunting mostly, I
suppose. True, most deer are
taken in the early and late
hours, partly because most
people hunt those hours. Yet,
I’d have to agree that those are
the best times of day. Most of
the deer I’ve seen in the woods
have been between about 8
and 9:30 a.m., and the second
best for me, personally, is
about 6 p.m.
Middle Georgia is once
again the place to go for the
best hunting ... there are
more deer there and, to be
sure, more hunters. So it is
wise to brush up now on the
safety rules, and be certain
that any time you’re hunting,
to practice all safety rules to
the fullest. The most
important might be simply to
make absolutely sure before
you pull the trigger, that it
really is a buck you’re looking
at, not a moving bush, or a
man. Also, be sure your gun is
not loaded when you’re not in
the field hunting. Nonetheless,
always treat your gun as if it
were loaded. For heaven’s
sake, and vot'.u, DON’T any
a loaded gun in a car.
While we’re thin! ig of
guns, it’s a good time now,
too, to get that gun out, clean
it up, sight it in, check to be
sure you have ammunition,
and have it ready to go. Also,
get all the rest of your gear
together, replace what needs
replacing, repair what needs
repairing, and have it all where
you can find it easily in the
wee small hours of opening
day.
That way, you’re sure to be
on the stand when light
breaks. And if you’ve followed
all this advice, your chances of
a pleasant, successful hunt are
far, far better than otherwise.

INFORMATION
FROM YOUR
CO. EXTENSION OFFICE

County Agent
AFRICAN SWINE FEVER
This information on this
highly fatal disease of swine
was taken from Proceedings
of Purdue Swine Day, Sept
ember 3, 1971, and should
be of great interest and con
cern of swine producers in
Brantley County.
African swine fever (ASF)
has broken out in at least two
provinces in Cuba. This is
the first time this disease has
been reported in the Western
Hemisphere.
SIGNS
ASF is highly fatal and con
agious viral disease that cl
osely resembles hog cholera
in the acute form, but the
viruses are not related, and
there is no cross immunity be
tween the two, Virulent st
rains of ASF virus produce
disease and sudden onset, high
fever, reddening of the skin,
inappetence, depression, dis
charge from eyes and a very
high rate of mortality. As in
hog cholera, hemorrhages
occur in various body organs,
but these tend to be more
severe and extensive in ASF.
Mild strains of ASF virus may
produce a less acute disease
that is more difficult to char
acterize. Affected pigs may
have a low grade fever for
severalweeks and signs refer
able to chronic lesions in the.
lungs, heart and joints. Some
pigs make apparent recoveries
and become carriers of the
virus. This mild type of ASF
could be more serious than
the acute form, since it wo
uld be less likely to be re
cognized as ASF and thus more
likely to spread to other herds
before the eradication pro
cedures could be instituted.
HISTORY
African swine fever virus is
native in Africa where it has
a natural cycle between wart
hags, bush pigs and giant for
esthogs and ticks that inhabit
their burrows. It causes little
or no disease in these wild
Pigs.
ASF was first found outside
of Africa in 1957 in Portugal
and then in Spain. In 1964 it
spread to France where it was
quickly eradicated. In 1967
it appeared in Italy where it
produced a widespread epi
demic, requiring the slaught
er of many thousands of swine
before it was controled. ASF
continues to exist in parts of
Spain and Portugal.
STATUS OF CONTROL
MEASURES
The nature of ASF is such
that no effective vaccine has
been developed in spite of
considerable effort. Strains
of virus modified in the lab-
oratory may give some pro
tection against any of the
several other wild strains.
Modified viruses used in att-
empts to vaccinate may pro
duce chronic infections that
would be more troublesome
in the long run than the vir
ulent virus, which produces
more easily recognized dis
ease.
Thus, the only rational a
pproachto control the disease,
should it appear in the USA
would be to quarantine, sl
aughter and disposal of all a
ffected and contract swine.
Fortunately, good diagnostic
tests have been developed by
USDA Animal Research sc
ientists from the Plum Island
Animal Disease Laboratory,
and the machinery for erad
ication exists in the hog chol
er eradication program.
Samples of swine suspected of
having hog cholera and sub
mitted to federal laboratories
are routinely tested for ASF
as well as hog cholera.
ASF spreads between dom
estic swine by contact, by
contaminated equipment and
clothing and, most important
with respect to introducing it
into new areas, by eating un
cooked pork. With all of the
tourist traffic we have, it is
very possible, in spite of ef
forts by USDA to confiscate
pork products, that someone
will smuggle in a raw pork
delicacy such as salami and
we will have ASF. There
fore it behooves all swine
raisers to report immediately
any unusual disease in swine
to their county agent or vet
erinarian in order to forestall
what could be a very serious
problem to the industry.

LIGHT BULB CONTAINERS
CARRY NEW INFORMATION
Since light bulbs with new
information on the package
are already on the shelves in
stores in Brantley County,
maybe you would like to know
more about the information
and the reasons for this ch
ange.
This is a result of a regulat
ion the Federal Trade Com-
mission has issued requiring
the disclosure of wattage,
lumens, and life on incande
scent light bulbs.
This information appears as
Wattage/Average Light Out
put or Lumens/and average
Life. What do these terms
mean?
WATTAGE; The amount of
electricity the bulb uses.
Generally, higher wattage
bulbs furnish brighter light,
However, where wattage stays
the same and the life of the
bulb is increased, its light
output is decreased.
LUMENS; It measures light
output. Higher lumens means
brighter lights.
LIFE; The life of a bulb is
given in "average hours."
Rated hours for bub Is are of
necessity based on their aver
age lives under laboratory
conditions since bulbs are del
icate products and their lives
do vary.
BE SURE A "SALE"
WILL SAVE
The wise shopper can save
money by watching for sales
on items she needs. But BE
WARE for shopping sales for
items you did not intend to
buy in the first place or items
you do not really need. Have
you saved money in the long
run if you spend money on an
item you had not planned to
buy? Also look closely to see
how far you must drive to shop
the sale, must you pay for
parking while you shop, will
you have to pay a baby sitter?
If these factors enter in, will
youreallysavemoney? Check
out all these things before you
fall victim to the sale sign.

TOUR
GEORGIA
AUGUSTA (PRN) - Comes
the time of America’s 200th
birthday party, Augusta will
be ready.
The second oldest city of
the youngest colony has
launched a program designed
to retain and recapture the
vintage sites and structures
that make Augusta uniquely
herself—a cornerstone of early
Georgia culture. From the
archaic Celtic cross, placed by
General James Edward
Oglethorpe in 1736, to mark
Fort Augusta, to the
antebellum mansions of
gracious Telfair Street, the
city is set to show her colors
to lovers of history.
Visitors taking the
wide-ranging tour now
sponsored by the Augusta
Junior League can see:
—Mackay House, perhaps
the finest example of Colonial
frame residential architecture
south of the Potomac. Center
of 18th century Indian trade
and site of a Revolutionary
battle, the structure was once
known as the “White House”
but has now been restored to
its original blue-gray. Fine
antique furnishings highlight
the main floor; upstairs are a
museum and dioramas
depicting the massacre in
which 13 patriots were hanged
in the stairwell.
--St. Paul’s Episcopal
Church, at the original
location of Fort Augusta,
known as Fort Cornwallis
during the Revolution. In
1750 “the gentlemen of
Augusta built a handsome and
convenient church under the
curtain of the fort”. In its
adjacent cemetery are buried

Confederacy, lies in a crypt
beneath the altar.
—Old Government House,
an outstanding antebellum
building, now the property of
the Augusta Junior League.
Activities of the Historic
Augusta Foundation began
here, and its restoration
projects now extend
throughout the neighborhood.
—“Ware’s Folly,” built in
1818, by Nicholas Ware, now
housing the Gertrude Herbert
Memorial Institute of Art. The
Georgian house received its
nickname due to the
considerable sum of $40,000
spent in its construction. It is
said that the window weights
from the house produced
2,000 pounds of bullets for
the Confederacy. It was here
that the peripatetic Marquis de
Lafayette danced the minuet
at a ball given in his honor
when he visited the city in
1825.
—Richmond Academy, a
square Tudor structure built in
1802, now home of the
Augusta Museum. The
Academy was organized in
1785, and was the first boys’
high school in the country.
Governor and Mrs. Edward T.
Telfair staged a ball here in
honor of a visit from George
Washington. William
Makepeace Thackeray lectured
at the Academy during his
American tour of the 1850’s.
These stops and others of
equal interest are included in
the city’s engaging historic
tour. The Department of
Industry and Trade, Tourist
Division, believes you would
enjoy a pre-bicentennial look
at Augusta, a forward facing
city that hasn’t lost sight of its
lively past.
