Hello folks. We were invited
over to the Rex Pittman home on
Wednesday afternoon to meet our
most ardent little fan. so it seems,
who n little Billv Pittman. Billy
is saving our column, each week
and is goin» to make a scrapbook
of them We want to thank the
Pittman’s for inviting us, because
we spent a most enjoyable after
noon. We even took little John
nie’s airplane apart, but he didn't
think we were such a good air
plane mechanic after all, because
we couldn’t put the thing together
again. Big Brothe, George said
he thought the President was com
ing, or sumpin', the way Billy and
his mother were primping on the
house Big Brother George is the
guv who ate up all the candy his
mother was going to serve! We
left our personal files with Billy
and we hope vou enjoy reading
them Billy. It’s little folks like
you who encourage us to keep
plugging on dav after day. To see
your face Hght up is proof that all
our efforts have not been in vain
. ... We also stopped in to see
Grace Altman, the same afternoon.
Grace is very happy because her
friends have beer, so thoughtful
since her accident. Her room was
filled with flowers and cards
from admiring friends and some
of the friends were there too! ....
Fred Daniel and William Kirk
seemed to be a little disappointed I
last week because we failed to j I
mention Sybil Smith’s party. .
wasn’t because we didn’t think
about it boys. We had it in our
notes, but just didn't have room

cigar! Research has established
that a discarded cigaret will burn
for S'* to 12 minutes, while a dis
carded cigar will go cut in from
2.3 to 5.17 minutes.
New Tye Deer Fence
A new new type “deer proof”
fence, composed of five electrified
wires suspended three feet apart
horizontally on croes bars three
feet above the ground, is now be
ing tried out. To clear this fence
it is necessary for deer to leap
more than fifteen feet, while it
,s impossible for them to crawl
under without being shocked,
Conservation officers watching
the experiment report that it has
been successful thus far, but deer
■ are often stopped temporarily by
' devices and later find
new ways
to defeat their purpose.
Poison Fish
In Philippine Islands waters
there are several species of fish
whose flesh contains poisons. A
number of mysterious deaths
were finally solved when it was
found that they were the direct
result of eating posion flesh of fish.
These strange fish do not bite you.
Neither do they sting—yet their
flesh contains poisons similar to
the deadliest of mushroom poisons.
About Game Birds
Contrary to the belief of many
people, there is no breed of pheas
ant native to the United States.
The first record of releasing pheas
ants in this country is a group of
ringnecks released in Oregon in
the latter part of the nineteenth
century.
The baby Chukar partridge has
black legs and a black beak. As
he grows older, this color changes
to a beautiful shade of red, which
gives him the caption, “redlegged
hill partridge”
Game breeding is seadily in
creasing as a full-time enterprise
in the United States. What with
restocking of sportsmen’s clubs,
state purchases, and individual
buying, the market for game birds
of all kinds has steadily advanced.
A great many game bird breeders
think their feeding and care is
most important during the spring
when they are laying. You must
feed your birds well throughout
the winter in order to build up
Thursday, November 27, 1941
body strength and health for the
spring season.
There's Something New All Right
Sometimes you think there is
nothing more new that can be told
about the funny things happen
ing afield to sportsmen. But it
seems there’s always a new one.
This takes our cake. A Virginia
game warden came across a hun
ter with a squirrel in his pocket
recently and quite naturally asked
the man for a peek at his license.
“Oh, I don’t need a license,” re
plied the hunter as he stroked the
bushy tail of his vanquished game.
“The squirrel season isn’t open in
this county.”
Fur Bearers Valuable
Many of the common fur bearers
play an important and highly use
ful role in preying upon injurious
insects and rodent pests, The
weasel, for example, is beneficial
in destroying large numbers of
mice and rabbits which damage
gardens, orchards and property.
The skunk is helpful in its de
struction of white grubs, wire
worms, grasshoppers and mice.
4-H NEGROES RESPOND
In response to the food-for
freedom program, Georgia Negro
4 .H club members are turning to
more food production activities.
In Washington county, 120 mem
| bers of the 4-H club have selected
| seed corn from four acres to plant
| for the 1942 food-for-freedom
drive, while 11 Liberty county boys
have planted fall gardens as a
means of helping supply extra
food. A Baldwin county club
member is furnishing his family
with nine different varieties of
vegetables from his one-fourth
acre garden.
