This would greatly interfere with the orderly movement of transportation vehicles.___ State Barrow Show Any swine producer in Georgia is South Georgia boasts four im- poundments : lakes Blackshear, Worth, Walter F.

Grocery, restaurant, and institutional buyers are on hand to fill their orders, load their trucks, and shuttle the fresh produce to their places of business in time for the start of the business day. Of course, many of the dealers offer local delivery. One of the most important customers for dealers on the Atlanta Market is another type of wholesaler the trucker. He is the one-truck or wholefleet operator that brings produce to small town and rural retail outlets hundreds of miles away. Did you ever wonder how a grocer in Cornelia, Georgia, for instance, gets tropical bananas, California oranges, and other items not grown locally? Thanks to the trucker, he can get any of the more than 100 types of produce items carried by dealers on the Atlanta market. The wholesaling sector of the fresh fruit and vegetable industry is unquestionably dynamic. A vital cog in the process of bringing the best in stock Association and Bulloch County Farm Bureau. Keep Picnic Foods Safe From Germs July and August are traditional times for cook-outs, picnics and other family outings. Many of these outings are filled with unsafe foods which result in post-picnic illness. Keeping prepared foods chilled is a must for safe outdoor eating. Most food poisoning outbreaks are traceable to mishandled food. Germs need a warm environment in which to produce the poison. About four hours at temperatures from 40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit is enough time for the germs to do their dirty work. Make sure that susceptible foods salads, cream pastries, cheese, cured and salted meats, sandwiches, casseroles and other moist prepared foods are kept properly chilled. Keep these foods at a temperature "Straight Line" asks that all inquiries by mail be signed. If you do not wish to have your inquiry or name used in the BULLETIN, please let us know and we will be happy to comply. Address all inquiries to: Straight Line, Agriculture Building, Room 227, 19 Hunter Street, Atlanta, Ga. 30334, or phone AC 404/524-3292. Will you please tell me how to keep the birds out of the fruit trees and grape vine? We don't hardly get to eat any of the grapes for the birds. Also, when should we cut the grape vine back? Mrs. T.J.J., Augusta We know of no bird repellent. Use a net or wire screen over your vines. A bucket with a few rocks or moth balls in the bottom attached to a limb of your fruit trees will make a rattling noise that will scare the birds when they light on the limb. Also, if you find a dead bird, tie it to a limb and the birds will shy away. Cut the vines back in December. Please let me know how to get rid of toad frogs. Some children visited a next door neighbor and brought 4 frogs. They turned them loose in my back yard and I don't want them. Mrs. J.H.G., Calhoun Pick them up and carry them off. However, you might want to keep them as they will eat most of your insects. I have a lot of cattails growing in my lake. What can I do to get rid of them? I have tried pulling them up but they always come up the next year. J.C.Y., Rome fresh to you. below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Use Dalapon according to directions.

Page 8 Wkti Cardinal-flower, Lobelia Cardinalis of the Lobelia Family, also called scarlet lobelia or Indian pink, is a gorgeous scarletflowered perennial herb. It is very erect and stiffish - growing from 2 I/ 2 to 5 feet tall. It has crimson red irregular flowers in close or long spike-like clusters. Although it is one of our most beautiful native plants growing naturally in damp, half-shaded places and sometimes in the shallow water of slowly moving streams, it can be raised from seed or increased by offsets and plants that will grow in a well watered border; however, the woodland setting is better. From now until autumn its blooming period will be at its height. Since .hardly any flower can vie with its vivid scarlet coloring, Holmes wrote about it saying: "As if some wounded eagle's breast, Slow throbbing - er the plain, Had left its airy ; ith impressed, in drops of arlet rain." The early French Canadians re so struck with its beauty that ?y sent the plant to France as a jcimen of what the wilds of the w World could yield. it is generally conceded that its iglish name of Cardinal-flower me from the fact that it was i: cened to the elegant and uorgeously attired dignitaries of iT>e Roman Catholic Church. THE MARKET BULLETIN Fishing (Continued from page 1) Georgia's waters; five species can be fished from every lake and river in the state the largemouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, redbreast sunfish and the channel cat. The most popular of the popular is the largemouth bass, for which a Georgia fisherman, G. W. Perry, holds the world's record. He landed a 22 pound, 4 ounce lunker in Montgomery Lake on the Ocmulgee River in 1932. This type of bass attracts the game angler because of its size (the average weight is two to three pounds), tremendous fighting ability and its tendency to bite artificial lures. Good bait for the largemouth, or black, bass are minnows and Louisiana "pink" worms. Imitation plastic worms are excellent bait also. Avid salt water fishermen will be glad to hear that July and August are two of the four best months of the year for their pursuits (October and November being the other two). Spanish mackerel move up from the Bahamas, and are found most often five to six miles out to sea. The tarpon is a popular salt water fish. It often weighs over 100 pounds. The "Tarpon Hole," a two-mile channel in the Altamaha River, east of the U. S. 17 bridge, is a prime spot for hooking this sport favorite. Large red and white "broken back" plugs are good lures. Fishing laws and regulations in the state are light. There are no seasons on sport fish, with the one exception of the mountain trout. Its season runs usually from early April to early October. No statewide size limits exist, again excepting the trout on a few streams and reservoirs. There is a length limit on bass on three major impoundments. The numerical limits on four types Mr. John Coltharp of Rt. 4 Douglas- ville shows a two pound white potato produced in his garden this year. Mr. Coltharp said several hundred of his crop weighed one and a half pounds, but this is his largest. of game fish are 15 bass per fisherman per day, 30 white bass, 50 crappie, and 50 bream. Sunday fishing is permitted throughout the state. Fishing licenses are necessary for every angler over 16 years of age on all public fishing facilities, whether he uses a cane pole or an expensive rod and reel. The cost of a license for a state resident is $2.25 per season, while for non-residents it is $7.25 per season, or $2.25 for five days. Fishing is a relaxing and pleasurable sport, equally agreeable to men and women, young or old, rich or poor. The joys of the great outdoors, time for quiet thinking, or the excitement of fighting a game fish, make it a hobby everyone enjoys. As Izaak Walton said in 1653 "Doubtless God could have made a better (straw) berry, but doubtless God never did; and so, if I may be the judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling." i Straight Line v (Continued from page 1) ^^^ I would like to know if grape vines that come from planting seed will produce grapes as well as those that come from planted vines. I have a large white grape vine that bears beautiful fruit. Mrs. E.T.O., Tifton Our Entomology division advises that the best grapes come from planted vines. Can you tell me how to get rid of pigeons and also the mites they cause? I live inside the city and cannot shoot them. They have caused mites to get in our beds, furniture, clothes, etc. These pigeons roost upstairs on the window ledge and have raised their families there and we cannot reach them from the ground. Mrs. C.R.H., Thomasville Your pigeons--may we suggest training them to be carrier pigeons--your phone bill will go down. We know of several city residents who have your problem but at the present time we are unable to make the pigeons find new homes. Kelthane will cause the mites to find new homes, however. Will you please tell me how to rid my pasture of thistle? I'm sure many people would be interested in this, especially in north Georgia. Mrs. H.H., Resaca Use 2,4-D or Silvex or maybe a family of goats? I have problems with crickets. Crickets in the yard, in the house, everywhere. Big ones, little ones, and all over everything. What can I do? Mrs. H.I.P., Sale City Take them fishing; if that doesn't work, try Sevin spray or dust around in your yard. This will eliminate the big and little ones in your yard as well as those in your home. I have a small Catalpa tree in my back yard. This is the first year it has had Catalpa worms on it. But the worms have eaten almost all of the leaves. Should I remove the worms from the tree? If I don't, will the tree die? L.E., Macon Pick the worms from the tree, get a cane pole, some line and a hook, and visit your local fishing spot. Your tree will not die if the worms are left on it, but some of your neighbors might be interested in buying the worms from you. RESPONSE I find Blood Meal spread lightly around plants can be very effective to keep rabbits away. Mrs. E.F.T., Rentz Flowers of Sulphur sprinkled around in shoes will keep chiggers off much better than any insect repellent and costs so very little. Does not smell much and is not greasy.
