PROHIBIT Staying OF DOVES
THE STATE GAME WARDEN DE-
CLARES STEP NECESSARY.
Says Birds Will Be Extinct in Few
Years Unless Immediate Steps
Are Taken to Protect Them.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Although the
game season is over until fall the
state game warden, Jesse E. Mercer,
is worried over the dove situation,
and declares that something has got
to be done by the legislature this
summer or there will be no doves left
in Georgia.
Commissioner Mercer is in favor
of enacting a law prohibiting the
killing of doves altogether for a pc
riod of at least five years. This will
be sad news to the dove shooters,
particularly in those sections where
baited fields have furnished amuse-
ment.
to doves in Georgia unless there is
radical change.
"The only remedy for this situa-
ton, so far as 1 can see, is that
which will prohibit the killing of
doves for a term of years. 1t is
highly probable that the department
will ask the legislature to pass such
bill at the coming session, and if
it is adopted in Georgia efforts. will
be made to have the adjoining states
follow suit"
1.-THE truth of the matter" said
Mr.. Mercer, lis that doves are about
to become extinct in Georgia. This
is due largely to the fact that juries
everywhere will persist in acquitting
violators of the law. The penalty
for violating the dove batting law is
the largest of any, the fine being
from 81 to $1,000 and changing
sentence of one to thirty days. Al
though doves have been killed the
past season in baited fields by the
thousands we have been unable to
secure any convictions.
THE dove is about to disappear
from Georgia just as the passenger
pigeons have disappeared. The last
passenger pigeon in America died
short time ago in the geological gar
dens in Cincinnati. Although plen-
tiful at one time they were killed
Unfortunately and the result is
that not one of the birds is left.
This is just what is going to happen

A DRY MAY DOES NOT MEAN
RUIN IF LATE SEASONS ARE
FAVORABLE.

ATLANT A comparison of the
cotton crops in Georgia for 1895 and
1906, when there was a very small
rainfall, with the crop last year,
when there was plenty of early
spring rain, does not leave any rea-
son for the farmers to feel apprehen-
sive about this years crop. The fig
ures make such a showing that there
will be a very excellent average crop
this year if there is anything like
reasonable conditions from now on.
In 1896 the cotton acreage in this
state was 3,46S,335, and the number
of bales that year was 1,299,340.
The rainfall that year during the
month of April, according to the re-
ports of the local weather bureau,
was .5S inches.
In 1906 the acreage in the state
was 4,61O, 900, and the crop showed
total of / ,677,866 bales. The rain
fall in April that year was 81
inches.
This year the rainfall in April was
"a inches.
The April rain record this year is
smaller than for thrity-four years
back with the exception of the years
of 1895 and 1906.
In 1912, with an acreage of s.
500, 900 and with plenty of rain in
the spring the total crop was only
1,849, 1903
That is, with a very heavy increase
in the acreage and with no drought
the crop last year was only a little
over 100000 bales more as compared
with the crop of 1906. There were
more than 100000 acres more in
cotton last year than in 1896, and
yet the dry years crop with the
small acreage was only 100000
bales behind the crop of the wet
i year with the larger acreage.
The crop of 1911 was 2,S45,799
bales, with an acreage of 5,504,00O
but that was bumper crop, one
that had not been equaled in the
South for many years. The entire
season from January to October was
propitious There was just enough
rain when rain was needed, and JUS
enough dry weather for blowing and
picking.
But even with the present dry
spell the outlook cannot be taken tt
mean a small crop of cotton, for, as
stated, other dry years with {
drought in April, did not result in {
small crop as compared with the to
tai acreage.

OUTLOOK is GOOD FOR COTTON CROP
ON INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Warning Against the Fly as Most
Comon Cause of the Disease.

Warning against the fly as the
most common cause of infantile pa
raiysis was given by DR.. E. w. San
ders of st. Louis in an address. DR..
Sanders traced a connection between
infantile paralysis and the raising OF
poultry and gave this as an explana-
ton why the disease is more preVa-
lent in country and suburban dis
tricts than in the crowded part Of
the city.
While experiments were not com
plcte, he said, yet he was confident
that final tests would demonstrate
a connection between Timber neck"
in fowls and infantile paralysis.
His theory is that flies carry the
germs of infantile paralysis from the
carcasses of fowls and possibly from
bodies of hogs and dogs to food
DIR. Sanders condemned legal pro-
lection of the buzzard, which he said
transmits infectious diseases of live
stock.

CANNOT CONVICT IN CLAY
Prosecution of Citizens Who Baited
Dove Fields Amounts to Nothing.
Sentiment Against the Law.

FORT GAINES. the ses-
sion of the city court here this week
three cases were tried against promi-
nent men of the county for violat-
ing the game law, batting and shoot
ing birds on a baited field. Each de-
PENDANT was acquitted, although pos
tive and strong evidence, apparent
ly, was submitted against them in
each case. 1t is said that the people
here are not in favor of the game
law, and trying to convict white peo-
pie for violating it is hard work.
1t is very likely that here will be
no more cases made against parties
in this county for violating the game
and fish law, for no law is any
stronger than the people care to
make it.
