RULES FOR RESULTS

opening day, Mrs. Andrews won Henry Alford, Jr., was runner-up

Here are a few simple rules the Class B title in a shoot-off with 160.

which may be counted upon to get

results:

Always ask permission to hunt.

This is nothing more than common

courtesy. You wouldn't want a

stranger spreading a picnic table

in your own front yard, without as

much as a "by your leave," would

you?

Assure the farmer you will close

his. gates, be careful of his fences

and refrain from shooting around

his livestock.

Whether you have good luck or

not always drop by and thank him

on your way out. And if you do

have good luck divide your game

with him. After all, he either

owns the land or has charge of it,

and your equity in it is nil.

Show a sincere interest in his

family, his children, his crops and

his livestock.

Compliment him on the appear-

ance of his place, the excellence

of his garden or farm crops, etc.,

but DON'T be gushy.

Take along some little household

gadget, such as a paring knife, a

new can opener, for his wife; a

trinket of some kind for his

youngsters.

Share your hard-to-get shotgun

shells with him, and replace his

old worn-out pocket knife with a

new four-bladed stock knife.

GIFT SUBSCRIPTION

Don't make yourself at home

too quickly. Be friendly but don't

push yourself.

Remember that you are the

farmer's guest, accorded the free-

dom of his fields and woodlands

only through his hospitable gen-

erosity.

Send him a gift subscription to

SOUTHERN OUTDOORS, and be

a gentleman as well as a sports-

man at all times.

Practice these few suggestions

and you won't have much trouble

finding a good place to hunt next

year. But remember that one sin-

gle act of carelessness may close

that territory to you, and others

not so careless, too, for all time.

As a group the farmer is our most

generous citizen, but he can stand

just so much abuse and no more.

It is the duty of every sportsman

to see that his hospitality is prop-

erly appreciated.

Quail Hunting Slow Over South

Quail hunters have begun to break down and talk. Not many had

much to say about limits, though. Most of them have been building

character and sweating it out.

Bill Satterthwait, of Atlanta, went to South Georgia and said he

wished he'd taken his fishing tackle. He found 90 degrees under the

trees, but not many birds under the brush. The same thing applied to

Is Sport Worth It?
The delights of fhe sportsman are too numerous to list. Every person who reads this message knows what it means to take a a trout or kill a bass ... to flush a covey of quail ... to bring' down a deer . . . to hear a hound bay at the tr.ee . . . he understands the deep pleasure of the woods . . . the. zest of camping beside a clear stream . . . the earthy joy of tramping the fields.
But nature does not always stay in balance.
Through all the ages, man in his migrations westward has left '.. blight on many of tbe earth's most fertile areas . Lands and streams once teeming with nature's gifts have been made barren .bY man.
When nature ceases to be in balan~e we can no longer have the beauties of nature--nor fish, nor game, nor trees . . not even water to drink or use for power. Often we cannot survive except' by moving on.
Only recently have we beoome aware of the need for resloration and replenishment . . . soil conservation . . . forest and flood control . . . vigilance against the pollution of our rivers ... breeding and feeding grounds for fish, fteah and fowl. On these billions of dollars have been spent. Mucll more remains to be done.
