Ding Dong Dingle Bill
Kyi ARK TWAIN once declared that the difference between
a taxidermist and a tax collector is that the taxidermist
takes only your skin. Fishermen might smile a bit as tax
water fish will be featured and made available to hundreds
of ponds and lakes.
This news actually is cheering enough, but when you
consider the Dingle Bill was ink^d by President Truman
and now is law—you can shout with joy from the roof
tops.
The Dingle operation will be patterned, after the Pittman-
Robertson Act, with attention focused on various and wide
spread improved fishing conditions in Georgia. It will be
next July before the Dingle Bill goes into action. For each
million dollars collected in excise tax on fishing equipment,
Georgia will receive approximately $50,000.
Our prospects and future fishing possibilities are tremend
ous. The State fisheries certainly will be expanded under the
guiding hand of C. C. James and Fred Dickson, the capable
biologist. Since our trout streams have been under the great
est pressure in history, with a staggering number of more
than 5,000 permits sold this year, we must look ahead to j
heavier stocking of the mountain streams. To successfully
perform this marvelous service for Mr. John Q. Public it will
be necessary for the State to make available more holding
pools for rainbows, browns and brock trout. These were
needed years ago.
Undoubtedly a fisheries expert will be assigned to re
search work on marine life on the coast. Georgia can ill '
afford to pass up those who like salt water angling. There
are shrimp and oyster projects that should get attention. |
Perhaps a man will be placed on the trout streams to keep
them healthy and productive. We might even have assist
ance in the work of the Game and Fish Commission in provid
ing expert advice to those who own farm ponds. Many of
these ponds are all out of balance and not providing decent
fishing. All of this and more probably will mark the great,
rapid strides anticipated under the new Dingle Bill. Many
of us will keep a watchful eye on State Fisheries progress
starting next July Ist.
Our Government Is Patient
Our Government is a patient one. How it can stomach '
grown men, who stoop so low as to use shocking machines
to slaughter fish and yet go right on planning bigger and bet
ter things for fishermen, is a mystery of the first water.

Now Is The Time
To Winterize The
Ga. Farm Kitchen
Now that winter is here, Georgia’s
farm homemakers are thinking of
how they may save steps and keep
warm and cozy and at the same time
keep their houses spic and span, says
Miss Willie Vie Dowdy, home im
provement specialist with the Geor
gia Agricultural Extension Service.
■ The kitchen work, Miss Dowdy said,
is the biggest, headache. Here is
where more long hours are spent.
Recently a study pf work in 100
farm kitchens in New York State
showed that old fashioned methods,
of storing supplies and equipment
wasted time and effort and caused
confusion in doing routine kitchen
tasks, and other household tasks,
Miss Dowdy reported.
The smart homemaker, the special
ist said, will plan her household
tasks, list the tools and supplies she
will need in doing these and provide
storage space for these near the place
of first use for both supplier and
tools. Miss Dowdy asks: “If a knife
is to be used first at the kitchen sink-,
why not store it near the sink rather
than 18 feet away in the pantry?’’
Many tools and supplies in these New
York kitchens were stored outside the
kitchen in the pantry, on the porch
or in a back room. These tools
i were at least five times as far away
from the spot where they were needed
for use as the distance for tools kept
in the kitchen itself. The home
maker had to walk more than 18 feet
for each piece of small equipment
she needed before she got started on
'her task.
The refrigerator, stove and sink are
the key pieces of equipment in the
kitchen production line, according to
Miss Dowdy. For greater step sav
ing and effective winterizing, pro
vide counter space for work and
storage cabinets for tools and sup
plies near these three pieces of
equipment. Make shelves, cabinets
and drawers fit the things to be
stored. Narrow shelves, six or seven
inches deep, give clear visibility and
easy accessibility to the equipment
and supplies; 36 inches of counter
man—will supervise setting it up.
Buzz Ellis, the electrician, is do
nating the lights.
From where I sit, you not only
have more fun when everyone co
operates voluntarily, but you get
better results. A good example is
the Self-Regulation Program spon
sored by the Brewing Industry.
Under this voluntary program, re
tailers selling beer co-operate by
keeping their places of business
orderly and “spruced” up—for the
benefit, of the whole community.
space at right of sink is needed for
stacking dirty dishes and 30 inches
at left of sink for 'draining and dry
ing; 15 to 18 inches of counter space
near the refrigerator is needed for
setting out supplies.
The kithen is the main work room
of the farm house. Miss Dowdy
stated. The efficiency of most house
hold work depends largely on the
plan and arrangement of supplies
and equipment in the kitchen itself.
“So wise homemakers will plan their
kitchens, making them Step saving,
rnoderq work rooms,”' the specialist
concluded. r
P.O. Land And
Rich R. Land Say
P. O. Your farm sure looks good
with all your fields green or fresh
plowed. That winter grazing field
you have there is up to a good stand.
I want to get mine planted next
week.
Rich R. There you go late again.
Your grazing crop should be up by
now. I’m going to top dress mine
with nitrogen next week. That will
keep it growing during warm days in
winter. Then I’ll top dress it again
in early spring.
P. O. I guess I’m always too late
with too little, but I just can’t out
talk my boys about going hunting
this late in the fall. Hope we can
get our grazing crop in next week,
cause my old cows sure will need it.
Rich R. We had to finish our farm
work early this time. You know one
of my boys won a trip to Chicago in
his 4-H club work. He drove the
tractor some at night so he could get
off to go on the trip. I want you to
hear him tell about his trip when he
gets back.
During the past quarter century
the use of fruit in the diet has
changed from a luxury to a necessi
ty.
