NElGHBOR BOB WHITE

There are those who stoutly
maintain that the more quail are
hunted, that the more we annually
kill with birdshot, the more there
will always be each year. These
are the people who told us our
game law aiming to preserve the
Georgia Bob White would result in
his determination. The law we
have had for a few short years, and
while there doesn't seem to be any
great falling off in quail, it can
hardly be said they are more no
merous. There are plenty who say
they are getting less and less each
year and that the closed season is
responsible for it,
While the commonsense end of
the argument seems to be very
much against the continuous open
season advocates, it is nevertheless
true that they are showing condi-
tons at present that are none too
reassuring for the closed season
PARTISAN. The new law has helped
the rabbits and squirrels immeasuI-
ably, and even deer are coming
back in parts of South and South
west Georgia, but the quail-shoot-
ers declare the birds are getting
less and less each year, even though
there is by no means decided
shortage at that.
Perhaps the real reason is that
Bob White cannot live long with
civilized man, and that it is. the
continual encroachment of the titled
land upon the wild domain in Geor.
gia that is putting him out of
business. In that respect he is like
the Indian. Destroy the wild pla-
ces and you destroy the habitat
that breeds them. Reservations
and the game laws may check the
destruction, may postpone the end,
but they cannot save the species in
the end.-Macon Telegraph.

Pruning Time At Hand.

(From Southern Ruralist)
The winter is upon us and pruning
time is at hand Plants may be prun-
Ell at any season Of the year, but
they are usually pruned during the
dormant season. There is generally
more time to give to the work at
this season than at any and winter
pruning has tendence to increase
the production OF wood.
Here are few don't that should
be kept in mind when pruning
plants:
1. Never use an AK or Ratchet on a
tree. Always saw off limbs that are
too large for the hand shears.
2. Always make the first cut with
the saw on the under side Of the
large limbs so as to prevent peeling
the bark.
3. Always saw or cut off the climbs
as close tothe tree as possible, Never
leave stump or a place where
water can collect and MD rot.
4. When pruning young tree al
ways make the cut up and never
down, as cutting down will peel the
bark.
5. Never use dull tools for prun-
ing.
6. Always cut off a twig or small
branch just above a bud, never just
below.
7. Never go from one tree to the
other without disinfecting the tools,
unless you are perfectly sure that
the tree last pruning was healthy.

Of those lynched nine were exc

slow to regulate. A particularly
grave question which can be regdla-

suppression Of the consumption Of
alcohol

understood in France to include
such beverages as absinthe which
