Bat Day Highlights Braves’ Homestand
The Braves return home to
Atlanta Stadium Friday night to
start a four-game series against
the New York Mets and it will
feature the Braves' second Bat
Day in Atlanta.
Sunday, June 25, a bat will be
given to the first 15,000 fans
14-years-old and under in a re
serve seat or accompanied by an
adult in the general admission
section. The Braves’ manage
ment advises that fans get to the
game early to assure themselves
of getting a bat.
The series also includes two
separate games on Saturday--
one at 1:15 p.m. and the other
at 8:05 p.m.
The Mets are the team that
started the Braves on a recent
disastrous road trip by winning
three out of four games against
the team. The four-game series
in Atlanta will give the Braves
a chance to get even.
After the Mets series, the
Braves take a day off Monday
and then the Houston Astros come
to town for games Tuesday, Wed
nesday and Thursday.
The Houston series gives At
lanta fans a chance to see the
‘‘super stars’’ of the future that
spark the Astro’s lineup-~-short
stop Sonny Jackson, second base
man Joe Morgan and outfielders
Jim Wynn and Rusty Staub. These
four have the potential to com
bine with other steady regulars,
such as former Brave Eddie Mat
hews, catcher John Bateman and
pitchers Mike Cuellar and Dave
Giusti, to make the Astros a
strong pennant contender in the
next few years. Atlanta fans
may also have their first chance
to see the Astros newest play
er, former Brave pitcher Wade
Blasingame, in action for the
Houston team.

for living, But it is safe to say
that all kinds need food, cover,
and water, To be really useful,
food must be plentiful and close
to cover that will furnish pro
tection from enemies and
weather, And it must be avail
able in the seasons when it is
usually scarce,
On most farmland in Georgia
there is enough food from late
spring to fall, Insects, wild
fruits, weed seeds, waste grain,
nuts, or green plants are avail
able, The critical seasonis win
ter, There are no insects. Many
wild fruits are gone, Snow and
ice may cover waste grain,
Early spring is often just as
critical as winter, Therfore,
planting perennial food=-pro
ducing plants close to good cover
is the best way to be sure you
have enough wildlife food
throughout the year,
Most kinds of wildlife need
several kinds of cover, Cover
must conceal nests and young,
provide shade from hot sun and
shelter from chilling rains, It
must allow escape from enemies,
and it must protect against snow,
sleet, cold, and wind in winter,
Good management of cover can
be boiled down to two essentials;
unburned, ungrazed, unmowed
grass for nesting; and dense or
thorny shrubs for protection from
predators and for nesting, Both
kinds of cover should be close
together and close to available
food supplies,
There is land on practically
every farm in Georgia that can
and should be used to produce
useful wildlife asaprimarycrop.
It is wildlife land, Land pri
marily suited for use as crop
land, pasture, and woodland pro
duces wildlife only as a secon=
dary crop.
Small areas of wildlife land
well distributed over the farm,
when coupled with proper use
and management of other land,
make the whole farm an efficient
unit for the production of all
crops, including wildlife,
Success in managing land to
produce useful wildlife lies in
improving the amount, quality,
and distribution of food, cover,
and water,

Never willing to accept less
than our best;
And often inspired us to do
even better than our best.
