Requests for 1940 hunting li
censee coming to the
of Revenue last week reminded
wildlife enthusiasts that the squir
rel season will open August 1, in
18 North Georgia counties. This
is too early, and is against the
laws of nature, as many nestlings
will he the target of stinging lead
pellets, but legislative action set
the dates and until there is a
change in seasons by similar ac
tion, squirrels must bear the con
sequences.
However, Charlie Ellitt, direct
or of the Wildlife Division, is ap
pealing to hunters to curb their
enthusiasm and "go light on the
squirrels." Wildlife Rangers have
been instructed to carefully
the licenses and bags of all early
season hunters.
The Department of Revenue is
handling sale and distribution of
licenses and this body explains
that there will be no “swapping
in" of a ebunty license as part
payment of a state license.

At present there are eight
counties having three representa
tives and eight unit votes; 30 with i
two representatives and four un- !
it votes, and 121 with one repre
sentative and one unit vote.
Following the last census, there
were ten changes, records in the
Secretary of State office show,
i Laurens County, which had three
j | representatives, lost one, and
| Troup County, which had two,
gained one.
One-member counties which
were changed to two were Bald
win. Dougherty, Polk and Spauld
ing. Two-member counties which
lost a representative, were El
I bert, Jefferson, Screven and
Wilkes.
The only definite fact available
at this writing was that neither

j the present census, insofar as their
representatives are concerned.
There also is shme talk that
Georgia might get a new

completed for the entire United

Although it is some six months
before Georgia's lawmakers will

they are called into extra session
—they’re already fretting over
how much work they are going to

pears it will be all work and no
play at the regular session in Jan

thought for your lawmakers. Pol

Georgians Urged
To Protect Forets
This is campaign year in the
state and in the nation. In the
South a Ten Year Campaign
Balanced Progress for the South
is proposed by the Southern Gov
ernors' Conference.
Since a large part of the area of
Georgia and the South is forest
area, such a program must of ne
cessity be concerned with the de
velopment and conservation of the
South’s forest resources. In Geor
gia there is imperative need for a
thorough study of the relation of
the forests to the’State’s economy,
Although Dr. Herty blaxed the
trail, there is much ytt to be done
before the forest resources of the
State can be made to yield the
economic returns of which they
ar l capab1 ;
First, forest fires must be
stopped. Georgia is making con
slowly falling in line with coop
erative protection, three counties
having joined this parade of pro
gress in recent weeks. When all
Georgia counties with fores* areas
are wise enough to take this step,
the major battle for forest protec
tion will have been won.
-Another important problem con
fronting Georgia in this needed
campaign for forest conservation
and development is the tax prob
lem.
It is estimated that 22,000.000
acres of rural land in the 8 south
ern states are now in default of
tax payments for two or more
years. It is impossible and unnec
essary to go into the problem of
taxation here. It is sufficient to
state that faulty assessment and
collection methods are responsible
for this unhappy situation which
leaves so much land, particularly
forest land in uncertain owner
ship. Georgia, unfortunately, ranks
high in such delinquency. Aside
from the problem this creates in
state finance, the greater menace
lies in the fact that owners of for
est land faced with the possibility
of losing their lands through tax
default are too often tempted to
strip it of timber.
