Non-Resident Fishing
Licenses are Reduced
Georgia is offering a “cut rate”
fishing licenses now to out-of-
state anglers.
By executive order, non-resi¬
dent licenses have been cut
from a straight $5-25 to $150 for
10 days or $2.50 for 30 days. One
for the full season costs the or-
ginal price.
Wildlife Director Zack D.
Cravey said he believese the re¬
visions will mean more revenue
to the Division in the long run.
Anglers who are planning to
spend only a few days in Geor¬
gia will be more willing to com¬
ply with the law at $1.50 or
$2.50 than at $5, he pointed out.
Georgians pay $125 for a sea¬
son license and because the State
considers soldiers stationed in
Georgia as “residents” they too
can purchase licenses at that
price regardless of their place of
residence.
“People who come to Georgia
to fish and hunt spend more
money and generally take less
fish and game than anyone else,
so we want to do everything we
can to encourage them to come to
Georgia,” Director Cravey said.

Says Better
of Picking
Cotton Income
County Extension Agent O. G.
this week suggested a
simple rules which farmers
do well to observe as a
of eliminating a good deal
rough cotton and thus increase
profit, from the lint crop.
Foremost of Mr. Ariail’s sug¬
was to allow the cotton
to open wide before pick¬
In the second place, the county
pointed out, if cotton is
with morning dew or
moisture on it, spread it
on sheets in the field and
it a chance to dry before
in wagons and trucks.
it out thin on' the sheets
when one side is dry turn
the other side- Don’t ollow
cotton to lie in the field
night without protection
dew and rain, he asserted.
Mr. Ariail suggested that wet
not be packed in baskets
piled up, since it cannot dry
these conditions
Another suggestion to farmers
that they have their cotton
where they will be sure
getting a good smooth job.
“Insist that ginners gin your
with a loose seed roll. If
insist on the ginner ‘skin¬
your seed, he will have to
with a tight seed roll and
he does, that will rough up
your cotton and lower its value
from $3 to $10 per bale.”
Weeping For Auld
England
It is good to find a peaceful
haven,
Away from the terror and strife;
But oh, when I think of auld
England,
It takes courage to live my life!
When I think of the shadow of
destruction,
That hang s o’er the beautiful
Isle;
I can feel my heart drown in its
tears,
And it seems so great awhile.
Awaiting for peace in the home¬
land,
Waiting for war’s thunders to
end;
When will the shades of strife
and victory,
On the shores of auld England
blend?
When will there be no more
waiting,
Dreading the dawn of day?
When will the nightmare be over,
And little children go home to
stay?
Please, God, it can't" last for¬
ever!
And we’re thankful for this land
of the free;
’Tho the refugee’s heart be in
auld England,
You’ve given good homes to
many like me!
Some day when the war is over,
And we go home to our sunny
Isle;
We’ll build new homes amid de¬
struction,
And remember you with a smile.

Farmers Bale-Per
in Produ<V Show
n
Newer methods and Vactic
Georgia cotton production a “
increasing the number of
bale-per-acre farmers—fro m on ,
few a decade ago to more than
this year.
Tabulation reports from E
tension x .
agronomists E. c. West
brook and R. R. Childs reveal
that 3,115 farmers in m C0Un
_
ties averaged a bale to the acre
on their entire acreage in 1949
All yields above 450 pounds wer
classed in the bale-per-acre e
di-
vision. Average yield on these
3,000-odd farms wa s 501 pounds
lint cotton per acre.
These “king” lint growers
planted a total of nearly 41,009
acres and produced 45,450 bales.
That’s not a bad record, especial¬
ly in view of the fact that a very
substnatial number of these
farms had large acreages plant¬
ed. As a matter of fact, 33 farms
in his group had over 100 acres
each.
There’s one significant thing
about this bale-per-acre produc¬
tion. Those farmers who made
greatest increases had been pro¬
ducing only moderate yields—
300 to 400 pounds—in previous
years. It shows they are doing
the right things to make a lot
of cotton to the acre.
Franklin county up in the
northeast section of the state
took first place in the number
of bale-per-acre farmers. Last
year they chalked up 225 who
made a bale average. Walton
county came second with 188
and H:rt third with 178.
E. K. Davis, county Extension
agent in Franklin, reports that
22,298 acres were planted last
year to produce an average yield
for the entire county of 335
pounds. That compares with the
county’s average yield of only
198 pounds during the no& period
1928-32. Farmers are plant¬
ing over 40 percent less acre¬
age in cotton, yet they are ha¬
vesting only 11 percent less lint.
Good seed, judicious fertiliza¬
tion, and cover crops—those are
the things which J. L. Sanders
depends on for his bale-to-the-
acre average. This Franklin
farmer says the reason more
farmers have raised their cotton
yields is due to better methods
of production. Sanders is a great
believer in lespedeza as a soil
builder, and his cotton is only
planted on the best soil.
Another Franklin farmer, L. C.
Gillespie, thinks thorough pre¬
paration of land is a booster for
cotton. He saves his farm manure
and spreads it on the soil. This
farmer has found that pure seed
of a good variety, narrow rows
with plants close in the drill is
one secret of making lots of cot¬
ton to the acre. Last year he har¬
vested 10 bales on 8 acres.
The Burroughs brothers — six
of ’em — are also enterprising
cotton growers in Franklin. They
carry out good practices on their
more than 100 acres of cotton
and get a bale to the acre. They
gin their own crop and one thing
they do to insure a smooth
sample is to pick the cotton dry
and when mautred and gi n
when in dry condition.
Not only has this business of
bale to the acre been increasing
in Georgia, but also in quality
and staple have improved. For
instance, In Walton county near¬
ly 89 percent of the lint classed
one inch and better last year, in
contrast with only 15 percent for
the state as a whole a decade
ago. County Agent H- H. Shores
says one-variety cotton practices
have mainly been responsible
for this trend.
Coincident with many °^ er
farmer, W. I. Barrett, offers
reasons for the increases bale-
to-the acre producers. Decrease
in acreage by AAA and resulting
•in better methods of cotton pr°'
duction and a boost in soil-build'
ing crops have been one mai n
factor, he says. The six P° int
program for agricultural develop'
ment in Walton has done ru uc ^
also in this county.
