Now Federal Law
Georgia started it. and Uncle
Sarr will finish it Meaning, of
course, the job of fingerprinting
and registering aliens in ■ this
country,
Now that the Federal Govern

the State Highway Patrol will
discontinue this function “except
when we can be of assistance.’’
j declared Safety Commissioner
Lon Sullivan
Commenting on President Roos
\ evelt’s recent approval of the a
lien registration act, Major Sulli.
van said he was "very pleased
to see this important function be
come a federal law.”
Since Governor Rivers issued a
.
proclamation lequiring fingerprinted, a lens o
register and be

2,000 aliens and furnishd record
copies to the Department of

Fisherman Gets 2
With Single Hook
A three-foot eel and a 5 H -
pound rockfish on one hook is the
score made by Tom Evans. Burke
County negro.
Evans was fishing a trot line in
the Ogeeehee River when he made
his double-kill. He baited his line
with cut bait one afternoon and
returned the next morning to find
his line dipping in and out of the
water near the bank. The ee! had
taken one of his hooks and the
rockfish apparently had attempted
to take the eel, It was a costly
blunder. The eel slipped through
the fish s gill and squirmed into
a knot across the line, not only
making Itself a more secure catch, \
but sealing the doom of his finny
antagonist.
Control of boll weevils is an ef
fective and economical means of
increasing cotton production in
Georgia.

The several cotton offices of the

bee of requests for applications
already received”, Mr. McLure
said, “indicates that even more
cotton improvements associations
want their 1940 cotton classed
than was the case last season.
This increased interests makes
it especially important that ap

early July to facilitate approval
of the forms and delivery of sup
pjj es each group representative
before his first cotton is picked.”
Of the applications already filed
110 had been approved to June
2 4 compared with 98 approvals :

fort to get their applications in
early.”

The U. S. T. A ’s action to de.

growers time to catch up with a
season already delayed by unex

growers are pleased by the appar

They are cheerful despite the

Junior Rangers War
On Bird Predators
Mark Carter and P. F. Swilley,
junior rangers of the Division of
Wildlife in Lowndes County, were
praised highly by Ranger Pat Lord
for their interest in conservation
work and propagation of wildlife.
They have planted approxi
mately 15 acres in peas which will
be used for food for birds, and
have launched a campaign against
snakes, stray cats, and other
game bird predators.
Move range shelters, feeders
and waterers at intervals during
the summer months, so as to pro
vide fresh ground where the
chickens spend most of their time.
A good system of mowing weeds
and cutting bushes is essential for
high carrying-capacity pastures.
Grazing cuts cost and adds
greatly to income of hog produc
ers.
