But a poor net—such as a shallow one from which a fish may flop easily—is worse than none. Jason Lucas insists a net should always be deep, and one with a square bottom retains a fish the best. The frame should be strong . ' 1 ■ enough not to bend with a heavy fish; it’s better to have a net too large than too small. In boat fishing a very long handle is usual; it is best if someone else nets your fish. How ever, it is preferable for an ex perienced angler to net his own fish, since he can coordinate move ments of net and rod tip. To net your own, a short handled net of the type used by trout fishermen is the most convenient. There are collapsible nets, big and strong enough for bass, wal- I IT COSTS LESS TO BURN THE BEST S1 th» Tkvufiied? COAL •Patsy is pure coal—and nothing else!

Phone 155 Seedlings Move To S. C. Farmers The S. C. State Commission of Forestry has started to ship the first of an estimated 23 million tree seedlings to more than 1800 landowners in South Carolina from the Commission’s Horace L. Til- ghman Forest Tree Nursey near Wedgefiald, in Sumter County, ac cording to Assistant State Forest er E. C. Pickens. • Orders for the entire output of the nursery were on hand by mid- October, and no additional orders could be accepted after that time. Pickens pointed out that follow ing a few simple rules are neces sary to obtain best results and maximum survial. These follow ing rules are listed and illustrated in a folder that landowners re ceive attached to each bundle of trees shipped from the nursery: 1. Get your trees from the ex press agent at the earliest possible moment. You will be notified in advance, so be on the lookout for them. 2. Carry them home without de lay and “heel in” in a cool moist place that is protected from sun and wind.

When one of these is used, it should be an in variable rule to open it and place it within easy reach before you start to fish. Now as for using your net, don’t ever go after a fish tail first; a touch of the net against his tail sends him darting off, even when he appears exhausted. The net should always be held perfectly still, just under the surface, and the fish led quietly, head first, into it. Wait until his iiead is about to the rear of the frame—if he’s large let the net sink and slide under a little—and quietly lift him up. Since the back of the net is above the surface, a touch on his tail by, the front will only drive him into the meshes. It often happens that a fish cannot be brought properly to the net the first time, so just lead him around again. Jabbing at him with the net, or attempting to scoop him in is practically certain to lose him and might result In broken tackle. In short, there is no better method of landing any fish of good size than proper use of a suitable net—even though it may take some time to untangle hooks from it I" 3. Be sure to water the seedlings every day that they remain in the “heeling in” bed. 4. Start your planting as soon after you receive the seedlings as you can. 5. Be sure to keep the seedlings moist at all times. Carry seed lings In a bucket Use a muddy or clay solution. 6. Be sure to plant seedlings to the depth they grew in the nur sery, and in holes that are Just deep enough to give roots free dom. A soil line on the stem of the seedling indicates proper depth. 7. Whether, you use dibble or mattock for planting, be sure that the soil is well packed around the tree. 8. Protect your investment from fire loss by plowing firebreaks. Re member, even little fires kill little trees whether planted by Nature or by landowners lending Nature a hand. Proper care is Just as Important to successful tree planting as to any other farm crop. Observing the above rules can well mean the success or failure of the be ginning of this timber crop. Success will mean profits from otherwise idle and unproductive land, Mr. Pickens stated. Worrying is like sitting in a rocker. There’s a good deal of agitation without getting any where. POOR MAN!

Akers, Jr., President of the Motor Transportation Association today. "In fact, if you’re driving, don’t take the first drink, if It’s strong er than coffee.” Mr. Akers was speaking in sup port of the National Courtesy and Safety Program conducted by the Motor Transportation Association and the American trucking in dustry for the benefit of all high way users. Mr. Akers pointed out that the record shows December is a peak month for traffic fatalities. And they are caused \>y certain haz ards that are made more severe by drinking: 1. Early arrival of darkness and long hours of darkness. 2. Bad Weather. 3. Slippery roads. All of these factors tend to pro duce accidents in alliance with liquor. “Repeated tests have shown that the alcohol in even one aver age drink appreciably dulls a per son’s senses and tends to destroy his good judgement. If you’re going to drive, don’t drink alco holic leverages, Mr. Akers stated. “And if you’re walking home, be extra careful after that ‘holiday cheer’.” NEW PREMIUM , REO l). 8. FAT. OFF.
