Checking Forest Fires The Department of Conservation and Development at Raleigh askCounty Game Warden H. Grady Farthing: to urgently request every citizen of Watauga to use all precautions against forest fires. There are some of the worst forest fires raging in the State that have ever been experienced, and thousands of acres of good timber is being consumed by the destructive flames. These fires, it is pointed out, were likely started by the butt of a cigarette or a burning match carelessly tossed to one side by some sportsman. Hunters should be very careful of f Viaii- n r?^ 4 fin/1 mof nl?AO nn An A mvi vi, ia. c uuu ao who careless act on their part might cause the county a loss of thousands of dollars in timber and wild life. Warden Farthing states that hunting licenses do not give permission to trap. The trapping season opens on November 20th, and those who follow this business are warned to procure licenses before they place their traps. November 20th is also the date of the open season on quail and rabbit, which remains open until February loth.. Far dealers are also required to buy licenses before they buy and sell in Watauga, if you are going to buy more than $250 your county license ; will cost $10. If you buy $250 worth I >r less, your county license will cost i 51. These licenses must be procured I Tom the county warden. The following extracts are taken; roni a letter recently received by' | Warden Farthing from Col. J. W. j [Iarreison, director of the Depart-j nent of Conservation and Develop-; nent: "The incentive to 4pot hunt' will be stronger during the next winter.
