'SPECIAL GUN CARE
URGED OF HUNTERS
The Wildlife Division is urging
hunters to co-operate with the nation
! al defense program by taking good ■
care of their firearms and “to make (
every shot count."
Wildlife Director Zach D. Cravey
■ said hunters have not been asked to
I abandon their sport and to prevent
I the necessity of that, they should
I voluntarily adopt conservation mca-,
i sures. Copper, lead, steel and powder ■
! aie essential war materials and a
j drastic clamping down on them may
follow, he said.
“It may be altogether impossible to'
obtain new guns and rifles as time I
goes on so hunters should be extreme-j
ly careful to clean and oil them after I
each hunt,” Director Cravey said. “In
the field, don’t waste ammunition by
firing at game too far away to kill
because if it is only crippled, that
means a waste of game as well as
shot.”
Director Cravey declared that be
fore “this war is over we may be
needing our shotguns and rifles for
more than wild game and that where
enemy Germans and Japs are con
cerned, the Division will waive all
closed season and bag limits.”
“In some of our allied nations, citi
zens have restored to their hunting
firearms to protect the home fronts
from Fifth Columnists and if Georgia
hunters should be called on to per
form the same service, I guarantee
they will give a good accounting of
themselves,’’ Director Cravey said.
Storage tests show protein of grains
and soybeans keeps better when they
are under ground.
Long misuse and abuse of land
eventually results in its becoming a
public liability.
Progress is being made in the de
veloping of new sources of tanning
materials and treatment of hides and
skins.
