Game Protector
By J. R. CORNWELL
Montlcello, Ga.
Of vital importance to sportsmen
in this section is the house bill be
for the General Assembly designed
to provide year round fishing on
Jackson lake with hook and line.
The bill was written by Campbell,
0 f Newton, and applies to Jackson
lake waters in Henry, Butts, Jasper
an d Newton counties.
Every one is familiar with the 45
day closed season In the spring. This
is, of course, a measure to protect
the fish during the spawning sea
son There is no doubt that the
clospd season does a great deal of
good in lakes and streams where
fish are scarce or where restocking
programs are in progress Jackson
lake presents an unusual problem
jn that it is already fully stocked
with fish. This may sound odd to
the fisherman who spent a warm
summer day on the lake without a
strike but that fact is the principle
ca use of Jackson lake's peculiar
fishing condition. It is almost im
passible to catch game fish on Jack
son lake during the summer months.
The lake is a reservoir with a vary
ing level and as there are no water
lilies or other cover for game fish
they retire to the deep water.
Bass, crappie, jack and other
game fish are easily caught during
the winter months if*the water is
clear This is another problem as
the lake is often muddy. During the
winter of ’37, 38 the water was
generally clear and plenty of game
fish were caught. This winter the
water has been stained and very few
fish have been caught. It has been
more than a year since game fish
could be caught in any numbers. So
we see that the game fish in Jack
son lake are automatically prot|:t
ed by natural closed seasons.
In company with other Protectors
the wr u er has visited many regular
fishermen in this section and al
most without exception they have
stated that the lake is full stocked
and that an open season would not
hurt it. Many say that there are
more bass here than in any lake in
the state.
Some may object to the bill on
the ground that it Is not fair for
one section to fish while others

what a wonderful play!
sits at the organ
Ada billion hearts are gay i
Dear Old Man Folks:
Sometimes I sort of wonder if—
if every soul didn't own an organ!
An organ for their own hearts to
finger with and play on. as best
they could—and if each organ of
jach soul was not the property of
a large part of the rest of the world?
But this thought is too deep for me.
and I’ll have to leave it with you, to
think about it the ways that you
think best. But here is one other
thing I want to say to you and I
believe there is some little sense to
it: We live in the gardens we build;
we gather happiness from the grow
ing into life of the seeds we plant.
And those seeds are our thoughts
and our words that wes catter in
to the hearts of our fellows. If we
have an organ they can play on and
make fine music for themselves, and
understanding—then they will love
us for our being what we are. If
our playing should grow into a song
and each of us should sing—Then 1
believe we are doing much towards
building heavens out of the gardens
we have planted!
Plant, a little sped today,
Tomorrow it will grow:
Our recollection will hold the plant
of each little seed we sow;
Plant here a word and there a word
tnd yonder a pretty thought,
Then we can rest when it is night.
From doing what we ought.
W e think far too little of what
lies in our recollection chests, or
who it was that placed those tender
bundles there, and why. It would
do us good if we would look over
tern now and then. It would suv
brise us to know how large a part
Love has played in our lives and
how little we have cared V e need
c look back a small ways to find
ourselves, We have traveled with
ourselves to here, and we know the
little we have meant to ourselves
and to our world! Yes, I say again
we need to travel back a piece to
and feel ourselves as small as
w, are! Then I believe we could
go forward the rest of our way
sowing better seeds, and playing
tx ter music on the organs of our

Harry E. Reed, of Missouri, has
been appointed assistant chief of
the Bureau of Agricultural Econom
ics. In his new capacity Mr. Reed
will assist in the administration of
all marketing research, service and
regulatory work, including the Fed
eral-State crop and livestock esti
mating service the nation-wide
market news service, the farm pro
ducts standardization and inspec
tion services, and the administration
of various Federal laws pertaining
to the marketing of farm products.
The 1939 AAA Farm Program is
a continuation of the 1938 program.
It is based, as was the 1938 program.
on the Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1938. It gives farmers an oppor
tunity to work together to conserve
and build up the soil resource of
the Nation and to help keep pro
duction in line with demand. Pay
ments are made to farmers to com
pensate them for their sacrifices in
planting within acreage allotments
and to assist them in carrying out
soil-building practices on their land.
As in the pas\ the program is being
administered with the aid of com
mittees of representative farmers in
eaC h State, county, and commun
jty. These committees are elected
by the farmers taking part in the i
: program.
City folks usually take the elec
tric current in their ‘tomes tor
granted. If they buy a rew electric
appliance, they just plug it in and
that's all there is to it. But the
folks out in the country who are
getting electricity for the first time
—and there are thousands of them
cannot It would seem that if the
fishermen are encouraged where
fish are plentiful that it would help
the less fortunate fishing streams.
Visitors are always welcomed to

The local Game Protectors would

remains the law.

when he is trying, when a person is
entertaining friends, when he leads
a meeting, when he is talking to old
or new friends, as he is when he
slumps into a deep, soft favorite
chair, kicks off his shoes, slips into

feet to the highest pinnacle of the

relax—then the real person emerges.
What we force ourselves to do is
a compromise of course, it is the
trained self, and part of your daily
life and the rules of the game, but
it is when we relax that our souls
come out and converse and unbur
den hopes and woes. We know that
when the final day of judgment
comes we will be judged By the idle
and rash words we say
It's grand to meet a neighbor
And good to say, “hello,''
It’s great to see the happy smiles
Of friends you learn to know!
A smile may be forgotten
But not the deeds you do,
It's great to clasp a friendly hand
And know he'll see you through!
