Know What Mar. 15
Is? Big Deadline
You know what March 15 is? You
guessed it—it’s an important dead- ■
line. And the federal and state I
governments aren’t going to let you
forget it either. They want your tax '
money—or else.
In fact, tax forms are being sent j
out earlier this time. Both Marion j
H. Allen, federal collector of intern- |
al revenue for Georgia, and State |
Revenue Commissioner Charles D.
Redwine said forms are now being |
mailed out to individuals and corpo- 1

Fish, Game Prosperity Ahead!
IT seems that Hamilton Ralls, the new Director of the Game
& Fish Commission, has come up with plans to relieve
some of the terriffic hunting pressure in Georgia. Ralls has
his eyes open for the future and his ideas
tropes to develop abundant wildlife. Through Federal Aid,
food will be planted for deer, turkey, quail and ducks. Ade
^uat* 3 enforcement will be undertaken and should click since
the Sportsmen’s Clubs are behind this movement 100% and
promise fire and brimstone to violators.
About 250 deer are scheduled for release in this new
area. This is enough seed-stock to insure deer hunting of
the highest order. A limited amount of public regulated
hunting under supervision nossiblv will be on tap after
a period of five years. Undoubtedly, this is one of the
greatest developments in Georgia in the last 25 years.
The hunting public definitely has something in the books
for which I’m sure they are grateful.
That Clark Hill Proiect is a honey. Imagine if you can
the duck hunting possibilities as well as the fishing potentiali
ties in back waters forming a lake where the Georgia shore
line alone will be something like 1200 miles. Let’s not day
dream and become so complacent as to think the State Game
& Fish Commission can accomplish this miracle alone. The
success of the marvelous project is in the hands of the citizens
and sportsmen. If the Sportsmen’s Clubs get behind this plan, >
roll up their sleeves and get angry enough to defend this
Refuge against fish thieves and game bandits, there is no
doubt that a successful and satisfactory result will be forth
coming. , i )
Turn loose fifteen game hogs in this development and the
result of five or ten years of careful planning and high hopes
can be destroyed in a matter of weeks. H. E. Clary, a repre
sentative who resides in Thomson, Ga., has openly declared
that he will devote much of his energy and time in an effort to
see that the first violator feels the full weight of the law.
What a shame Georgia does not have a dozen Clarys in every i
county. ; ‘

State License For 1925
Emory L. Bruce, now of Atlanta, still has a Georgia hunt
ing license purchased at Jeffersonville in 1925. Peter S.
Twitty was the Director of the Wildlife Department at the
time. You were allowed 20 quail a day, 25 doves a day and
50 ducks. The license was printed on linen paner. Imagine
one man killing 50 ducks in one dav legally! The above bag
limits are noticeably ridiculous. Still, even today’s bag limits;
aren’t much lower and certainly not in line with today’s
heavy hunting pressure.

Some History of Our Trout
C. C. James, fish hatchery expert from Marietta who is the
man you can thank for the re-stocking of our trout streams,
has an interesting storv to tell on trout. * ./v ;. t
C. C. says the first rainbow trout ever placed Th Geor
gia streams were liberated in Noontootly Creek along
about 1915. Until that time, we only had a sprinkling of
brook trout in our mountain streams. There is a great
deal of talk that Lee Anderson, of Dawsonville, was the
fellow who turned loose that first batch of rainbows.
Henry Hamilton and Hubgrt Judd, a couple of grand
sportsmen at Dalton, are the men we can thank for the intro--
duction of brown trout in our streams, according to C. C. . 1
These fellows released the German browns along about 1926
in the Conasauga River. Just thought you’d like to know.
