ATLANTA (PRN) - It was
a holiday weekend, July 4th
to be exact, one of those
weekends you look forward
to. But when it comes, it’s
hot, and every place you think
of to go, you know is going to
be very crowded. Usually, on a
weekend like this, I’ll take my
family on a camping trip to
either a mountain trout
stream, a lake or perhaps the
seashore.
This year was different. We
decided to stay home, and
maybe take short trips from
there, coming home at night.
As it turned out, the trips
were short alright.. .the
furtherest from our Stone
Mountain home we got was a
half mile, to a small pond
tucked back among the trees
in a comer of land that
developers had not yet
destroyed. I started to say
they hadn’t yet discovered it,
but that’s not exactly true.
The water in the pond has
already been lowered two feet,
and they tell me it will be
drained, filled in, and become
the site for a new apartment
complex.
It really isn’t much of a
pond. It’s two, or maybe three
acres. I’ve fished it several
times, sometimes with my son,
and on occasion with a couple
of neighbors. We’ve never
caught much out of it If we
take worms we can get some
small bream. If we use lures,
we might get a small bass or
two.
I’ve seen some fair sized
bass there, one day I saw three
together that would have gone
maybe three pounds apiece. I
got a hit on a fly rod popper
by one of them, but missed
him.
The nice thing about the
pond is that it’s so close to
home you can go there even if
you have only a half hour to
fish. It’s really a wonder I
haven’t gone there more often
than I do. Maybe I would if
the fish had cooperated more.

pond, and several fish it.
Nonetheless, I’m convinced
the lake is underfished,
especially as far as the bream
are concerned.
Anyway, on this 4th of
July, my son and I set forth
early in the morning with a
spin casting rod apiece and a •
can of worms. We didn’t
bother with a car-top boat,
and we had no desire to cast
lures for bass. We just wanted
to see what the worms would
produce in the way of bream
fishing. We had the place
entirely to ourselves!
We found an opening in the
bushes on the dam, and I cast
in slightly to the right while
Warren took the left side of
the opening. In no time he had
a nibble, but lost his bait. We
both began working the same
spot, and soon were catching
occasional fish, getting
constant nibbles from bait
stealers. Most of the ones we
caught were really too small to
eat. I did finally catch a nice
one. Warren found a worm in
the can that had two tails.
“Daddy, look! I’ve found a
real live split-tail worm!”
“Well,” I told him, “I’ll bet
that’s a lucky worm. I bet you
catch the biggest fish of the
day on that one.” He tossed it
in and the float hadn’t
stopped bobbing yet when it
went out of sight Warren
hauled back and began reeling.
Sure enough, he had a bream k
that would have gone close to
a pound, the best I’d seen in
that pond.
It was a proud nine year old
that took the fish home and
insisted he clean him himself.
Yes, that pond may not be
much, but it’s a mighty handy
place close to home for a boy,
a can of worms and a heart
full of hope and of love for
the great outdoors.
“Daddy, I sure wish they
weren’t going to drain that
lake and build apartments
there,” Warren said as we were
leaving. I knew what he
meant. I felt the same way.

Cotton Problems
By David H. Williams
There is one other major
disease of cotton — boll rot —
and there is still time to do
something about that one.
Johnny Crawford, one of our
Extension plant pathologists,
says boll rot can be prevented
to a great extent by controlling
cotton insects which promote
entry of the rot fungi through
feeding wounds.
Growers are urged not to
stop controlling insects if rainy
weather prevails in early Au
gust. This was the case last
year. If Insects are allowed to
build up in late season, this
eliminates the possibility of
-a good middle and top
crop of bolls. Premature de
foliation also eliminates this
possibility.
And be sure to balance nitro
gen fertilization with good in
sect control. This will help
prevent excessive stalkgrowth.
Real rank cotton nearly always
results in conditions favorable
for rot development.
There are some indications
that this year’s crop may not
be as subject to boll rot as the
1970 crop. Cotton is late this
season. So it should not mature
until after the usual rainy
season. Combine this pos
sibility with good late season
insect control and we could

Why The Boom?
As just about everyone knows,
soybeans have been booming
in recent years. In fact, in 20
Photographed at construction site of Plant Bowen.
HI /
Construction comes high in 1971.
We are spending $1 million
nearly every day.
Costs keep going up and up. Your budget proves
that, and so does ours. This year a record $363
million is being invested in construction alone. That
means we’re spending about $376 for each customer
we serve.
Every item we buy has rocketed in price. Since
1960, for example, copper wire has gone from 30
to 60 cents a pound; a utility pole, $29.13 to $39.85;
a turbogenerator, $lO million to sls million.
But despite inflation, construction can’t wait. You
need power for the ’7o’s so we must build now to
meet those needs. And wherever we build, environ
mental planning is part of the cost
You want reliable electric service and environ
mental protection. We hold those wants in common.
The price for getting them is uncommonly high but
not as high as the cost of forgetting them.
Georgia Power Company
A citizen wherever we serve®
of the past 24 years, U. S.
formers planted more acres to
soybeans than in the previous
year. Total harvested area
swelled from about 11 million
acres in 1946-50 to 40 million
in 1966-70.
What’s behind this expansion?
USDA mentions several things.
For example: the development
of the combine; greater use of
tractor power; the advent of
soybean varieties adapted to
new growing areas, and chemi
cal weed control.
Then, too, there has been a
tremendous growth In demand
for soybean meal in livestock
feeds and for soybean oil used
fay food processors.
Studies also show that soy
bean acreage has been strongly
influenced by production con
trols on feed grains, cotton
and wheat.
