Quail Season To
Qnen VfJVll NOVBmber iwvviussw ZU
For most hunters the season
really gets into full swing Thurs
day, Nov. 20—the day quail shoot
ing becomes legal.
And that, along with a report
by Wildlife Director Zach D. Cra
vey that the quail supply is the
best in years, is good news to
hunters. For almost to a man,
Georgia hunters choose Bobwhite
as their favorite game."
Turkey season already has open
ed in a group of Coastal area coun
ties and will open elsewhere in
the state, as will the season on
'coon and bear, on Nov. 20. Deer
(except in counties which will be
closed altogether on this game)
duck, goose, coot, squirrel and
’possum also can be shot.
Director Cravey reminded hunt
ers of the bag and possession limit
of two turkeys and the bag limit
of 15 and possession of and week
ly limit of 30 for quail. He urged
hunters to observe the limits and
also not to shoot the last few quail
in a covey.
The closed season on doves con
tinues until Dec. 1 and shooting
hours on this migratory bird will
e from sunrise to sunset while
duck, geese and coot are protect
ed after 4 p. m.
Director Cravey also announced
that trapping is legal -from Nov.
20 to March 1 on fox, opossum,
mink, raccoon, bear, otter, skunk
and wildcat. Special licenses must
be purchased by trappers, fur
dealers’ agents and can be obtain
ed only from the state Revenue
Department, Atlanta.

Try This Trick
With Your Eggs
. W. Snellgrove of Omega, Ga
recently performed for himself a
feat of magic, but entirely to his
amazement. He produced a four
inch spotted snake from an ordi
nary hen's egg. The egg was being
cracked preparatory to making
cake batter when the snake was
discovered.
SCRAP METAL
The Department of Agriculture
announces that farmers throughout
the country will be asked to sell
their scrap metal for use in de
fense production. Secretary of Ag
riculture Claude R. Wickard has
requested U. S. Department of Ag
riculture Defense Boards in each
state to make plans for their states
immediately and enlist the county
defense boards in the effort. Mr.
Wickard pointed out that the Of
fice of Product.on Management
has been putting on a drive to in
crease the flow of scrap metal from
the cities.

Extension Reports
j Increased Aid To
Older Rural Youth
Georgia's older rural boys and
gills are being helped to find sta
bility on the farn and elsewhere
through e constructive program of
the C-eorg.a Agricultural Extension 1
Service.
For a number of years, rural
y- th of the older age bracket
have been assisted to some extent
by county and home demonstration
agents ’ but now a program, de
. ® d int youth J with their
opportunities and assist them in
adjusting themselves to adult hfo,
is being fostered through ut the
state, the Extension Service re
ports ’
Some 6,000 older rural boys and
girls, chiefly between the ages ol
18 and 24, received direct assist
ance last year from county and
home demonstration agent work
ers in cooperation with the 4-H
Club department. More than 700
of this group were organized into
self-functioning older rural youth
organizations, the most progressive
counde being Bulloch Cobb, Web
ster, Walker, Towns, and Oconee.
In addition, a number of former
4-H Club members are continuing
their training through participa
tion in college 4-H clubs. At the
University of Georgia, some 150
older farm boys and girls are en
rolled in the organization, while
the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural
College at Tifton has 100 members,
Georgia Southeastern College at
Americus, 50, and Georgia State
College for Women at Milledge
ville, 50.
Cooperative homes at the Uni
versity are also providing exten
sive training for former farm boys
and girls. Enrollment this year
in five homes totals 136, and G. V.
Cunningham, state 4-H Club lead
er, reports that 300 have previous
ly been aided in getting a diploma
from the University of Georgia
through assistance of this coopera
tive project.
PURE SEED NEEDED
A great deal of the small grain
now being planted in Georgia is a
mixture of varieties, a mixture of
the small grains, or unadapted low
yielding varieties much inferior to
the high yielding varieties avail
able Improvement in this respect,
says E. D. Alexander, Extension
agronomist, would greatly increase
the per acre yield and ccmmercial
value of the grain crop.

As a means of helping Geor
gians expand farm production i n
1942 to meet demands of the food
for-freedom program, a Turner
county 4-H Club boy has worked
out arrangements with his father
whereby ten acres of the farm
will be devoted to 4-H food and
feed crop projects.
Fred Jones, who has been a 4-H
member for six years, has made
plans to increase his work in 4-H
activities to meet the needs
for more food and feed. He and
his father got together and they
believe the arrangements they
have made set an example of how
many young people can contribute
to the food-for-freedom campaign.
F'red will furnish seed and fer
tilize! for the ten acres and will
get all he produces. Under the
agreement, the rent of the land
will be paid with labor in the fa
ther s crop.
Heretofore, this Turner 4-H boy
has worked in close cooperation

with his father, the land rent be
ing exchanged for labor on the
farm Their arrangement for next
is essentially the same, the
only difference being that the 1942
plans are on a larger scale.
Fred is also cooperating further
in the food-for-freedom program
by raising livestock. He now has a
sow with nine pigs and a gilt with
frur pigs. He plans to sell these
shoats during the first month or

County Extension Agent A. C.
»orminey says that Fred bought
a mare a few years ago for $140
and paid for it in two years. Since
that time, one colt has been foaled
and Fred has been offered $100
for it. Tile mare takes the place
of a mule on the farm in. making
the crop.
Fred is a peanut grower, and •
good one, too. In 1941 he har

and sold them for $90 a ton to
