THE COVINGTON NEWS
Game Protector
By J. R. CORNWELL
Monticello, Ga.
We have seen much in the news
lately about touleremia or rabbit
fever. It seems that this dreaded
disease is rare but easy to contract
if exposed. Cases are on record
that were caught from insect bites,
from cleaning o’possum and other
game, but the most common cause
of touleremfa is cleaning diseased
rabbits. Many people use rubber
gloves when dressing game and
this is a good idea, but the best
way to avoid rabbit fever is to
handle no game but your own and
avoid any sick looking animals.
People should not become
alarmed about rabbit fever and
refuse to eat rabbit, because this
disease is very rare and well
cooked meat is always safe. Some
years there is an abnormal crop
of rabibts and other rodents.
These regular increases and de
creases of wild life are not fully
understood by naturalists. When

1 f From the experience gained on the speedways of the world and in

non-skid mileage. Because of this new Safety-Lock Cord body and Gear

ip completely new standards of blowout protection, non-skid safety, silent
operation and long mileage.
The Firestone Champion Tire embodies the famous Firestone Triple

r
small game suddenly increases its
natural enemies are not numerous
enough to catch a 11 of the sick
animals and diseases are more
prevalent. It is a safe bet that
where rabbit fever is prevalent, a
huge crop of rabbits and field rats
can be found.
If you like to fish you should
certainly try your luck this pretty
weather. This is the best season
of the year to catch fish in the
Jackson lake area. The water is a
little muddy for bait casting, but
several fishermen have had good
luck. Live bait fishermen have
had unusually good luck lately
and they say the lake has more
bass than ever. Some people have
said that bass would not strike in
this section, but this is certainly
a mistake. Fishermen who say
this have not fished here in the
winter. I believe that bass are as
plentiful in Jackson lake as any
lake in the state.
Birds should be easier to find
this month. They will begin to
feed farther and come out in the
open more. We hear many ae-
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly the State)
counts of unusually large coveys
of birds this year. It seems that
most hunters agree that birds are
plentiful, but hard to kill. Coveys
are not easy to find and wild, tree
lighting singles are really hard to
get. If each hunter will keep an
account of the coveys he finds
during the season he will be sur
prised at the number. He may
miss a covey several times but if
he hunts regularly he will find a
bunch of birds in nearly
feeding ground.

H.O. Hastings, prominent seeds
man of Atlanta, is celebrating his
fiftieth year of service to the needs
of Southfrn Kardens and farms .
Mr. Hasting* was instrumental
in the promotion of the Boys’ Corn
Clubs in many Southern states.
from which has followed Boys’ and
Girls’ Clubs throughout the land,
building prosperous agriculture
among the farm men and women
of tomorrow. And later as presl
dent of the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce and of the Southeastern
Fair Association he advocated and
publicized the famous "6ow-Hog
Hen" program of diversified farm
ing that meant discarding the
shackles of "one crop" farming that
had practically bankrupted South
ern agriculture in many sections,
Probably Mr. Hastings' greatest
single contribution to better farm-

tion In 1905 of his now famous
Hastings’ Prolific Com, enabling the
Southern farmer to grow not only
two, but three and four ears of co^t
where only one was grown before.
However, his introductions of other
field and garden seeds are numbered
by the score and are considered in
dispensable for the greatest South
ern farm and garden success.
Still actively interested in the
permanent prosperity of the South
ern farmer and gardener, his ad
vice and suggestions play a prom
inent part in councils concerned
viih their welfare.
For the second successive year
since 1929, farm real estate hold
ings of leading mortage lending
institutions, such as units of the
Farm Credit Adminstration, state
mortgage credit agencies, and life
insurance companies, have shown
a reduction, according to F. Y.
Hill, Governor of the Farm Credit
Administration.
