since you will have an ample supply
When the larva is white, it floats. When it turns black, it is an adult
and sinks. This recipe will provide you with bait all summer or until
the grain turns black. In this event, add more grain.
This bait has been a favorite of Dr. Ed Wills, and Bernard Freeman,
of Washington. They use no other.
Additional investigation of this bream bait revealed that Pro¬
fessor Guyton, of the Entomology Department at Auburn, is an
authority on the Soldier Fly. He says it is nothing new and has
been used successfully for years. Professor Guyton says you can get
the same results using only laying or growing mash and leaving off
the molasses. He suggests that you keep the inside of your can
dark, to discourage house flys from depositing their eggs. House
flys apparently do not like dark places hut the Soldier Fly doesn’t
mind. He also recommends that you hook the Soldier Fly larva
( througn the flat end for best results.
could Well, there you are. Bait for a year for only a few cents. Why, yon

Wildlife Species Going, or Gone
Just about everybody knows the tragic story of the passenger pigeon
but few know the story of the Ipswich sparrow, the Eskimo curlew
or the Laysan teal. Once upon a time, all of these animals or birds
were fairly well known on the North American continent. Now, they
are either extinct, or close to it
Here is a list of wildlife species, many of them already gone from
this earth and many on the ragged edge. Save this list for future
reference. The list includes: the Great Auk, Labrador duck, Carolina
paroquet. Guadalupe caracara, Texus grizzly, Plains grizzly. Merriam
elk, Texas mountain sheep, Whooping crane, Great white heron, Masked
bobwhite, Gray whale, Greenland right whale, Jvorv billed woodpecker,
Sandhill crane, Heath hen, Maine giant mink, California grizzly bear,
Tejoh grizzly, Fisher, Blackfooted ferret, Wolverine, Sea otter, Desert
fox, Kit fox. Plains wolf, Guadalupe fur seal, Pacific walrus, Atlantic
walrus, Eastern fox squirrel, Nelson mountain sheep. Sierra mountain
sheep, Florida manatee and the Atlantic right whale.

Your Sinker Problem Solved
Many states, including Georgia, annually stage fishing contests for
youngsters with wonderful results. Now, Oregon is going in for a
program teaching youngsters how to handle a gun, how to shoot and
encouraging greater sportsmanship. This program will pay off. . . .
Why run short of sinkers? Cut an empty shaving cream, or toothpaste
tube into small squares and keep in youi tackle box. It is ideal for
wrap-around sinkers, . . These holes you see in highway signs were
put there by screwballs having target practice from fast moving auto¬
mobiles. There ought to be a law. . . . New fishing and hunting combi¬

Wildlife Depends on Senses
The ability to see, smell and hear are the cardinal virtues that enable
our wildlife to survive. While the deer appears to be a nervous animal,
its actions actually arc those of an alort creature that knows its enemies
may strike it down at anv moment. The deer nose picks up the human
■cent for great distances. Its sharp eyes detect the slightest movement
and it is constantly listening for any little sound that will announce
nearby danger. touchy about . and often the ,, falling . of ,

Rough Fish Control Pays Off
Bill Cahoon. Refuge Manager at Lake Mattamuskeet. N. C„ insisted
on a rough fish control program for the huge lake where ducks and
geese spend the winter months. In one year 1,300,000 pounds of rough
fish were taken. It provided a great amount of food for the tables and
greatly improved the bass and bream fishing. The most satisfying result
was more abundant food for migratory waterfowl. There were more
ducks at Mattamuskeet this year than have been seen there in many
years. Bill Cahoon has established himself as a man of vision and action
and it is paying off. We could use some feHow like that in Georgia.

Young Iowa Trucker
Wins Safety Contest
Hauls 7,000 Hogs,
3.000 Cattle a Year
Walter Sellnau, 27, of Charlotte,
Iowa, was winner of the seven
month Chicago livestock trucker
safety program sponsored by the
Chicago Stock Yards in its cam¬
paign to reduce the annual national
loss of $33,000,000 in meat through
safer livestock hauls to market.
Sellnau was awarded $1,000 worth
of bonds and merchandise for his
outstanding hauling record. Judged

states and Canada who participated
William J. O’Conner, (left!
general manager of Union Stock
Yards, presents an award to
champion trucker, Walter Sel¬
lnau of Charlotte, Iowa.
in the program, Sellnau’s seven
trucks traveled 80,000 miles to and
from Chicago, carrying 7,000 hogs j
and 3,000 cattle. ;
A newcomer in the trucker busi¬
ness, he has been hauling livestock
to market for only a year and a
half.
Sellnau uses care in his livestock
hauls. He carries a portable load¬
ing chute under his truck for use in
farm yards where there is no regu¬
lar loading chute. He also uses an
electric prodder on livestock in
stead of a whip or club, and places
sand and limestone on the floor of
his truck to lessen the chances of
falling and bruising.
Farm Production May Set
All-Time Record in 1951
American farmers can expect the
demand for their farm products in
1951 to be stronger than in 1950.
With normal weather conditions and
favorable control of insects and dis¬
eases, the production of farm pro¬
ducts should be greater than in 1950.
Consequently, with greater pro¬
duction and a stronger demand for
farm products, the gross farm in¬
come should be higher in 1951, the
agriculture department reports.
Farmers, however, will pay high¬
er prices for practically all impor¬
tant items of production in 1951.
Some of these items will probably
be the highest on record. In this
group will be such items as farm
machinery and equipment, fuels for
machinery, livestock purchases,
building and fencing materials and
wage rates.
Prices which farmers will pay for
such commodities as feed, seed and
fertilizer probably will be higher
than in 1950.
Garden Yardstick
For the gardener who is al¬
ways in the need of a yardstick
or tape and never seems to have
one handy, here is an idea that
will save much time and trou¬
ble. Make your hoe handle a
measuring stick by painting
bright rings on it at foot and
half foot distances from the end.

New Pasture Aids Control
Of Worms in Poultry Flock
Poultry experts advise the farm
wife who raises chickens to provide
; them with good pasture as a means
j j to control worms. It is the most
j important reason why a new pasture
should be provided each year for
the growing flock, they report.
Some of the better pasture grasses
i are a brome-alfalfa mixture or
i ladino—if the soil and temperature
are suited to ladino. Any poultry
j pasture should be clipped.

Fresh from the farm, the new

young man, and it was with con¬

“If you have any doubt,” his su¬

to repeat after you: ‘Surely Susan
should suit Samuel Smithville.”
“Very good, sir,” the young man
agreed, “I'll just write that down.”

colored justice of the peace for kill¬
ing a man and stealing his mule. It
was in Arkansas, near the Texas
border, and there was some rivalry
between the states, but the colored
justice tried to preserve an impar¬
tial frame of mind.
“We’s got two kinds ob law in
dis yer co’t,” he said: “Texas law
an’ Arkansas law. Which will you
hab?”
The prisoner thought a minute and
then guessed that he would take
the Arkansas law.
“Den I discharge you fo’ stealin’
de mule, an’ hang you fo’ killin’ de
man.”
“Hold on a minute, Judge,” said
tire prisoner. “Better make that
Texas law.”
“All right. Den I fin’ you fo’

place soon became so crowded each

Barnum wondered how he could

over would be greater. Finally, he
hit upon a plan. He had a sign made
which he placed over a door lead¬
ing to an exit into a rear street. It
worked, for people soon began to
