“ It Is strange how furious the
average plug fisherman can be
come over the time he has to
spend untangling hooks from a
net, especially when you consider
how often it can save a good fish.
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-

•Patsy is pure coal—and
nothing else! Thorough proc

every impurity before it leaves
the mine. Consequently, Patsy
bums longer, has less waste—
saves you money. And further
more, Patsy takes less time

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.
Student Trainee
Positions Open
The Board of U.S. Civil Service
Examiners, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Atlanta, Georgia, an
nounces an examination for Stu
dent Trainee positions of Soil Con
servationist, Soil Scientist, and
Agricultural Engineer at various
location^ in the States of Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mis
sissippi, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The student trainee positions
are designed to give interested
persons an opportunity to gain
practical work experience during
school vacation periods in con
junction with their college train
ing. Salaries are at the rate of
$2750 to $3175 a year, depending
on the qualifications of the candi
date.
Applicants will be required to
take a written examination design
ed to test their general ability to
learn.
... 'j
leyes and such, that will go into a
large tackle box. 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.

“IF DRIVING—
DON’T DRINK” '
Stay away from that ’one more
for the road’,” warned Mr. W. W.
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’.”
