HUNTING date
White Wing Shooting
Season May BE Adj
vanced to Aug. Is

McALLEN, Sept. I.-For the Tast
two years. Deputy Game Warden
Chas. Jones. has advocated a change
in the opening season or white
wings, one or the most pcpulsr Of
hunting sports with the hunters OF
the Lower Rio Crande VALLEY.
Jones advocates changing the date
from July 1 to August 1. c~untsnding
that before August 10 the birds have
not had time 90 complete their
breeding season and II the hunters
insist on hunting them before the
date which he advocates they are
doing nothing but sla%ughtering the
birds and are tending to run the
bird from It's native haunts III the
Valley.
Before the beginning of this
years omen season Jones appealed to
the Valley hunter asking them TO
wait until August 4. In most in
stances the hunters have given CO.
operation with the result that the
hunting is 100 per cent better than
last season and BY their actions
they have assured themselves OF q
good season next year. However
the hunters from up state who make
II a practice 10 come 10 the Valley
every year were not aware Of the
pledge and a number Of birds were
killed before they had completed
their breeding season. This condi-
tion has resulted in the people OF
the Valley asking the next state
legislature to reset the opening date
on the white wing. "Unless the date
Is set up il will not be many years
before the hunters will find the
white wings have been slaughtered
20 the extent that the birds will find
another place 10 make their home
other than the Valley" Jones said
The Valley Secretaries association

In times Of six-inch r~aiDfalls in

then the full value Of well paved

troubles ten-fold.
Out ~ Atlanta there were but two
roads which could be travelled during
the flood without danger and with
any degree of comfort. These were
tie permanently paved highways
leading 20 Macon and 20 West Point.
The highways served as though moth

elsewhere hundreds Of anxious rural
citizens were not 20 be found mt all

No through state highway could be
Travelled. with the exception Of the
50-miIe stretch Of concrete leading
south from Savannah on the Coastal
highway.
These ansi-travel conditions have
been encountered many times BY mo-
florists in many states for even rain
falls Of far less disastrous propcS-
tions have converted passable dry
weather roads into sloughs OF de-

To calculate the cost of roads sus-
ceptible to unusual weather condi-

many factors Of astounding proper
