High Falls Gets
Half-Million Fish
The State Game and Fish
Commission has completed its
restoration program on High
Falls Lake, Director Fulton
Lovell announced today.
Lovell said department biol
ogists have released over one
half million fish in the state
own impoundment.
Included in the stocking
were 300,000 black bass, 65,-
000 six inch channel catfish,
300 white bass and 190,000
bream.
A forage type fish, thread
fin shad, were also introduced
into the reservoir to feed bass
and other species, Lovell said.
High. Falls is located east of
Griffin. It was deeded to the
Game and Fish Commission
last fall by the Bowaters
Southern Paper Corporation.
THI COVINGTON NEWS
The man had come into my office to prove a point
that really didn’t need proving.
“Folks are taking over our lands,” he said. “They
are running over us down in my county. They never
ask permission to hunt, disturb our farmhands, cat
tle and even leave our gates open.
"Many times I fear they are breaking the law.”
The man came from a section where hunting
means much to the economy of the area.
He knew it.
“Now don’t get me wrong,” he requested. “All of
our people realize the importance of hunting and
fishing to our section .We want it. We encourage it.
But not to the extent of giving up our rights to own
and protect property.”
Thia story is one that is too often repeated,
hut one that has opened the eyes of conaerva
tiontists.
People are outnumbering places to hunt. And. lack
of courtesy and responsibility has all hut doomed
sportsmen-landowner relations.
There is hut one solution to this thorny prob
lem. Sportsmen must take it upon themselves
to seek out landowners and ask permission to
hunt. In most cases, they will be granted their
wishes.
The law is actually on the side of property owners.
It states that hunters must have permission from
property owners before they hunt. If they fail to
get it. then they may prosecuted for trespassing.
Fortunately, Game and Fish Rangers have made
few cases against trepassers so far this hunting sea
son.
IN FIELD ’N STREAM—WILLIAM E. SMITH
of Americus has been elected Chairman of the Geor
gia Game and Fish Commission for the coming year.
Smith, who was appointed to the board two years
ago. succeeds Richard Tift of Albany. Vice-chairman
is Charles Davidson. Jr., of Avondale Estates, and
James Beverly Langford of Calhoun is the new sec
retary. Tift steps down after three years of service
as chairman. He is considered one of the top con
servationists in the state.
GEORGIA is eligible for about $340,000 in federal
aid for fish and wildlife restoration projects for this
fiscal year. The state’s share of federal funds totals
approximately $117,000 for fish restoration projects
and approximately $234,000 for wildlife conserva
tion. This federal money finances many of the Com
mision’s game and fish programs.
Farm Land Has "Resurgence"
In Value; Other Prices Soften
In contrast with price trends
in other areas of the economy,
farm real estate throughout the
country rose to a new high re
cently in what the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture term
ed as “resurgence” in farmland
values.
Behind this development are
a number of factors, prominent
among which are the continu
ed pressure for farm enlarge
ment to take advantage of
technological innovations in
agriculture, and the rise in
farm income in 1961 to the
highest level since the early
Fifties. Underlying all these,
of course, are the massive Gov
ernment assistance programs
under which Federal expendi
tures are now around $6 bil
lions a year.
Covering the 12 months to
March 1 this year, the Agricul
ture Department in a report is
sued last month estimated the
market value of the nation’s
farm plant, land and buildings
combined, at a record $l3B bil
lions on that date. This re
presented a rise of more than
$6 billions over the year be
fore and was one of the larger
annual gains of the past de
cade. The report expressed op
timism over the months im
mediately ahead, but the stock

market’s deep slide and the
economy's sluggishness have
introduced new elements into
the economic climate.
The total valuation gain of
the 1961-62 period was even
more impressive when trans
lated into a per farm basis.
The survey valued the average
farm for the nation as a whole
at more than $41,000 on March
1, up SB,OOO or almost a quar
ter over the comparable figure
reported in the 1959 Census of
Agriculture, and over double
the valuation as recently as
1954. This leflects a continued
decline in the number of farms,
now at the lowest level in al
most a century, combined with
a steady increase in average
size. Farm valuations, of course,
vary by regions depending on
size, type of farming, invest
ment, etc.
Agriculture as a whole has
big assets outside the farm
plant in the form of inventories,
machinery, financial resources,
and other possessions. Current
ly these add up to well over
S7O billions, the equivalent of
more than $20,000 per farm.
On the other side of the na
tional agricultural ledger, to
tal farm debt is estimated at
about $29 billions, mortgage
and non-real estate combined,
an average of close to $9,000
per farm.
A breakdown of farm real
estate valuations by States
shows that California outranks
all the others though only ten
th among all States in the to
tal acreage of land in farms.
Currently farm land and build
ings in California are valued
at nearly sls billions, with
high value of irrigated land
the factor. Texas is second with
over sl3 billions though it has
more than a tenth of the na
tion’s land in farms.
However, on an average acre
age valuation basis, the cost
liest farm land is found in the
Northeast, much of it due to
population pressures and the
persistent encroa ch me n t of
metropolitan areas into the
rural countryside. New Jersey
is No. 1 in this respect with a
land-building acreage valua
tion almost four and one-half
times the national average, fol
lowed by Connecticut and
Rhode Island.
Farmers in the United States
have indicated they will plant
a total of 306,000,000 acres for
1962 harvest This is 1.4 per

up to 2000 pound* more milk per If
