TO IMPROVE GAME LAW ! Legislative Committee Appointed To Work to That End The following letter has been sent out to members of the Sportsman's As- j soeiation of South Carolina: Columbia, S. C., January 5, 1920.1 Dea sir: Dr. C. W. Barron, president of the Sportman's Association of r. ... 1: ^ tU nm/W. WUU1 taryiina uiv u?uv. signed as members of the legislative standing committee and after due consideration, much thought, and discussing the pros and cons with prominent sportsmen of many parts of thei State it was decided that the association would only ask our legislature to make a very few changes in the present law as it stands on the statute books. Your committee feels that the quail or partridge law is the first and foremost to receive their consideration, and they are desirous that each and'every sportsman in the State make it his business, and they are hereby appointed a committee of one, to see each member of his delegation or write a personal letter asking their support of the change which will be int^-oduced simultaneously in the Senate and House of Representatives. Your committee feels the quail law, as we now have it, was maue without due consideration of the wishes and desires of the sportsmen inasmuch ? ? 1 as it was cut on me wrung tnu ui mc shooting season. We feel, and are so drawing a bill, that the open season should be from Thanksgiving day to March 15th, of each year thereby allowing shooting longer when the birds are old. strong and able to take ca"-e of themselves, and cutting off the season in the beginning when birds are young, easily killed and many times too small to shoot. You know what a man can do the first of the season with a slow dog and open gun; but who can do it when the birds are older, stronger and more able to take care of themselves. Your committee will also incorporate in their bill a change in the turkey law, asking that the law be put back to March 15th, as heretofore,) feeling that by so doing we will be able to increase the number of these magnificent birds by cutting the season 15 days. At present the Turkey law runs to April 1st, and the quail law to February 15th. J ?i. r?l I lour committee noes not iwi uiat it would be wise to attempt any change at present in the deer, or migratory laws, however at the next meeting of the association the wishes of the sportsmen along these lines will be gladly accepted and we will be glad to lend our efforts as you may direct. Hoping that you will heartily approve of our action and busy yourself toward helping us get the desired changes, we are, Your fraternally, C. Fred Williams, Chairman; William Elliott, Irvine F. Belser, L. W. Boykin, J. C. Gasque, Members Legislative Committee. o Potatoes For the Northern Trade "What varieties of sweet potatoes are best to grow for shipping North"? It matters little about the variety name so that the potatoes are of fair marketable size, not overgrown, and ? J J XT 11 are yenow ana ary. i>one ox uie y?un varieties are wanted,, though the Hayman sells in Baltimore, but at a lower price than the dry Jerseys, and there are Southern families in Baltimore who have their potatoes cent to them from the South. We here are something like the Georgia man I met years ago when the Kolb Gem watermelon was all the rage for shipping. "We grow Kolb Gem to ship North, but we grow good watermelons to eat at home." I live in the greatest sweet potato growing section in the United States. Millions of bushels have been shipped North since August and millions of bushels are now in the great storage houses, some of which hold 20,000 bushels. These are mainly the Big Stem Jersey and the Gold Skin. Nancy Hall is grown for home use, and we are now eating these. If there is a better potato for Southern use I have never seen it. It is a fair cropper, though the jerseys will beat * * ri * 1 ?1 1A it. HiVery iarmer nert; piaina num iv to 50 acres in sweet potatoes. The area this season was unusually large and the crops good. Crops of 500 bushes an acre are not uncommon and taking good and bad over the thousands of acres planted right around me, the crop has averaged at least 300 bushels an acre with an average price so far of $2 per bushel. They are still being shipped from the storage houses as the weather keeps mild and the price fair. They are now selling at the stations for 85 cents a five-eights bushel basket or $1.35 to $1.50 a bushel. Shipments are made during the winter at every mild spell, and the curing house will carry them easily till the next year's crop begins to move, but usually the spring price is so good that they are readily cleaned out. So, like the Georgia man, we grow Big Stem Jerseys and Gold Skins to ship North but we grow good sweet potatoes. Nancy Halls to eat at home.
