Georgia, Wheeler County.
Due to the death of Honorable
D. N. Achord, Ordinary, of
said County, there will be a
Special Election to fill the un
expired term of his office as
Ordinary. The date of this elec-
ATLANTA (PRN) - Plastic
worms go with hot weather
just as surely as does ice
cream...but of course, not for
the same purposes. As I travel
around the state, one on the
most frequent questions I’m
asked by anglers is “how
should a plastic worm be
fished? 1 hear so much about
using them, but I never have
much (or any) success with
them. ”
I’ll be frank with you on
two points: (1) I’m really no
expert on plastic worm
fishing, though I’ve had good
days with them and (2) if I
can get a bass on a plug I’d
rather. Nonetheless I’ve had
expert advice and instruction
in worm fishing from some of
the state’s best in that field,
and maybe enough of it
rubbed off that I can pass on a
few tips that will help you. If
my suggestions don’t work,
remember that I didn’t claim
to be ( an expert, and then go
find a good worm fisherman
and ask him to show you.
That’s the best way to learn
anything about fishing
anyway.
Explaining worm fishing is
difficult; there are many ways
to hook and fish a worm. I’m
convinced, however, that only
two methods are worth
mentioning, so I’ll stay with
them
First, you need two items
primarily created for worm
fishing, and that includes
sinkers and hooks (of course,
you’ll need a pretty stiff rod
and a sturdy reel..a medium
rod will do, but not as well).
Two types of sinkers are best,
egg shaped and bullet shaped.
Bullet shaped are best. Both
egg and bullet shaped sinkers
are put on the line so that
they’ll slide freely, then the
hook is attached. One method
I’ll discuss requires a hook
with a wire weed guard, the
other does not. For those who
don’t use the weedless hook,
it’s best to get the new special
hooks with the bend near the
eye of the hook to help hold
the worm on properly. Use
large hooks, preferabley 4/0 to
6/0.
tion is declared to be July 14,
1971.
Those wishing toqualify must
do so with this office not later
than the 28th day of June, 1971,
at 5:00 o’clock p.m., Daylight
Saying Time. Any further in
quiries should be addressed to
this office.

Angles On Fishing
The Plastic Worm
The weedless hook method
Is relatively simple. Just run
the point of the hook all the
way through the head of the
worm, fasten the weedguard,
then cast. The nonweedless
hook should be threaded
through the center of the
worm from the head toward
the tail for about an inch or
more; than bring the hook out
of the worm, turn it over and
insert the point back into the
worm barely far enough to
cover the barb. Smooth the
worm along the shank of the
hook and, especially if it’s a
straight-shanked hook, insert a
toothpick through the worm
and the hook eye, clipping off
the ends next to the worm.
This holds it on.
Cast the worm to the
bottom of a deep, snagfilled
hole, and let it sink. Give it
plenty of time, maybe a
minute, or even more. But
don’t let the line go
completely slack or you may
miss a strike on the way down.
Now, with the worm on the
bottom, slowly crawl it back
to you. Some folks reel the
worm in for a few feet then
stop, but most make slow
sweeps with the rod tip, then
reel in slack. Anytime
something stops the worm,
point your rod tip in the
direction of the line, allowing
slack, and wait to see if the
line moves off. If it does, wait
till the line is tight, than strike
hard. If the line doesn’t move,
edge it forward only a foot or
two, and be very aware to
determine whether a strike
will come. My experience
indicates this is when most
strikes will come, because the
first stop is a snag and when
the worm crawls over it, a fish
grabs it.
I’d better point out that
some top-drawer worm anglers
who use a nonweedless hook
inbedded in the worm say it’s
necessary to strike back the
instant the bass hits. Most
agree, however, that with a
weedless hook in the head the
fish has to run a little, on slack
line. The distance of the run is
disputed, but I believe three
feet is plenty.-.usually.
Coastal For Hay
By David H. Williams
More and more Georgia
cattlemen are growing Coastal
Bermudagrass for hay to pro
vide nutrients for their cattle
during the winter. And the man
agement this Coastal gets dur
ing the growing season deter
mines the digestible nutrient
content and quality of the hay
you’ll be feeding later on.
One of the most important
points in this management pro
gram is time of harvest. This
largely determines the quality
of Coastal Bermuda hay.
W. H. Sell, one of our Ex
tension Service agronomists,
explains that the nutrient
content of Coastal hay is suf
ficient to produce 1.25 to 1.50
pounds of daily gain on steers —
if the hay is harvested from
four to five-week old Bermuda.
But let the grass grow ten to
twelve weeks before harvesting,
and animals actually lose weight
when on full feed of hay. The
quality is that bad.
Nitrogen
Also important in producing
good Coastal hay is nitrogen.
This particular fertilizer ele
ment is necessary in order to
produce per acre, should be
applied at the beginning of each
growth period.
Phosphorus and potassium
should be maintained at a
medium or higher level. Po
tassium is more efficiently uti
lized if it is applied in split
applications, like the nitrogen.
Needed phosphorus can be ap
plied in one application.
The soil pH for quality hay
production is 6.0 to 6.5, and
sufficient lime should be applied
to maintain this level.
Production
A good sod of Coastal Ber
muda, managed this way, can be
expected to produce 3,000 to
3,500 pounds of hay each five
weeks during the growing
season. With adequate mois
ture, of course. And this hay
will contain 12 to 15 percent
protein and 50 percent total
digestible nutrients.
It’s a good idea to have a
forage analysis run on your
hay. This will eliminate the
guesswork about nutrient con
tent. It will also serve as a
guide in helping you provide a
balanced ration for your cattle
this winter.
The two locomotives, The
General and The Texas, travel
approximately 10,000 miles
each at Six Flags Over Georgia
every season.
