Sportsmen Oppose
Alcovy Channelization
ATLANTA (PRN) -
Fargo-The Board of Directors
of the Georgia Sportsmen’s
Federation has voted to
oppose channelization of the
Alcovy River above Lake
Jackson.
Meeting on the edge of the
Okefenokee Swamp April 13,
the Directors supported the
position of the State Game
and Fish Commission critical
of [flans drawn by the U.S.
Soil Conservation Service to
channel and dredge 80 miles
of the Alcovy River and two
of its major tributaries
upstream from the popular
middle Georgia lake. The plan
would allow the drainage of
4,000 acres of prime wildlife
wetlands along the river
bottom, along with the
clearing of 8,000 acres of
hardwood timberland for
conversion to open pasture
land.
The Federation joined
biologists of the Game and
Fish Commission in approval
of 15 dams proposed in the
project on the upper Alcovy
and its tributaries, while
protesting the ditching of the
streams below the proposed
dams.
In spite of the objections to
the proposed design of the
project made by
conservationists and property
owners and fishermen on Lake
Jackson, the project has been
submitted to the House and
Senate Public Works
Committees for approval of
construction funds beginning
July 1, 1970. The proposed
project would take seven years
and seven million dollars of
federal funds to complete.
Fish biologists of the Game
and Fish Commission say the
channelization and drainage
will virtually destory fishing in
the Alcovy, as well as possibly
adversely effecting Lake
Jackson fishing, boating, and
swimming through increased
siltation, especially during the
seven year construction
period. They point out that
Lake Jackson’s two other
major tributary rivers, the
South and Yellow rivers, are
heavily polluted. The usually
clear and unpolluted water of
the Alcovy increases the
fertility of Jackson and
provides better fishing than
the other sections of the lake
in the early spring.
In other action, the
Federation Directors called on
Governor Lester Maddox to
sign two dog control bills
passed by the recent session of
the General Assembly, H.B.
225 and H. B. 226. Both bills
were supported by the
Sportsmen’s Federation and
the Georgia Cattlemen’s
Association to help reduce
uncontrolled dog killings of
wildlife and livestock.
The two bills require all
Georgia county health
departments to operate a dog
pound and hire a dog control
warden beginning July 1,
1970. By the same date, all
Georgia dog owners would be
required to have their dogs
vaccinated by the time they
are three months old, with the
numbered vaccination tap
Sqaad.
Future plans of both Miss
Drew and Miss Jordan include
applying themselves to the
more academic aspects of a
high school career.
displayed on a collar or
harness. Counties would be
authorized to charge a fee of
no more than 50 cents per dog
to help defray the expenses of
the pound and dog warden.
The two bills do not require
all dogs to be penned or
leashed, as some supporters
had wished.
hoc until
April 30 to act on the two
bills, which will become law
without his signature unless he
signs them or vetos them by
that date.
The Federation Directors
decided to take an active stand
against proposals of the
Georgia Pacific Corporation to
obtain lands or timber rights
on Piedmont National Wildlife
Refuge between Atlanta and
Macon.
James L. Adams, Executive
Secretary of the Federation,
told the group that the
Piedmont Refuge was one of
the outstanding deer and
turkey hunting areas in middle
Georgia because of its
extensive stands of mature
hardwood timber, which are
protected by current timber
harvest practices on the
Refuge, unlike the usual
procedure on lands owned or
leased by private timber
companies. On such areas,
mature hardwoods are usually
cut and replaced by faster
growing pine trees which
produce little food for
wildlife, Adams said. Food
patches planted in such pine
areas are extremely expensive
and do not produce even a
fraction of the food in a
mature hardwood forest.
The Georgia Pacific
Corporation is presently
constructing a seven million
dollar plywood plant near the
Refuge at Monticello.
Company representatives are
known to be actively
attempting to buy forest land
and timber rights from
landowners in areas adjacent
to the refuge.
A newspaper story on April
15 reported “that
represen tat ives of the
Corporation have also been
engaged in discussions with
new Interior Secretary Walter
Hickel concerning possible
exclusive leasing of timber
rights on the Refuge.
The proposal first was
advanced by the company to
swap Piedmont National lands
for company property to be
included in the new Redwoods
National Park in California.
However, legislation
authorizing the swap for other
federal lands was restricted to
California. An exchange of
federal lands in Georgia for
company lands in California
would require new federal
legislation, a plan which has
been vigorously opposed by
Game and Fish Commission
Director George T. Bagby.
An exclusive timber leasing
arrangement on Piedmont
would not require
congressional approval,
although significant
opposition from Georgia’s 10
congressmen and two senators
to the plan probably would
influence any administrative
action the Interior
Department took. There is no
precedent for an exclusive
timber lease, but the action is
, possible.
, The Federation Directors
I urged conservationists and
( sportsmen opposed to the
timber leasing proposal to
contact their congressmen and
senators immediately at the
Senate or House Office
Buildings in Washington. Most
of the Refuge lies in Jones
County, part of the Sixth
Congressional District of
Congressman Jack Flynt of
Griffin. A small portion
extends into Jasper County, in
the 10th District of
Congressman Robert Stephens
of Athens.

FERTILIZING SOYBEANS
Farmers are puzzled some
times because soybeans don’t
respond immediately to fertili
zation. Despite discouraging re
sults occasionally, there are
several guides to follow in fer
tilizing soybeans.
First, Extension Service
agronomists advise farmers to
stop calling for big, quick in
creases in yields in one year.
High fertility is a must for
high yielding crops. So devote
your efforts to building the fer
tility level of your soil.
Adding phosphate, potash
and other fertilizer nutrients
according to soil test recom
mendations not only assures
adequate plant food for the im
mediate crop, it also increases
levels of these nutrients in the
soil.
It is important to remember
that the soybean is a legume.
Therefore, it has a : high lime
requirement. Lime should be
applied according to soil test
results.
It is also a good idea to pay
close attention to weed control.
Weeds compete for moisture
and plant food. Planting dates
influence soybean yields.
