'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.
