Does shooting have a future?
You might as well hazard a guess
as to the future, of our latest break
fast food, claims Edwards Brown,
noted arms authority. He says shoot
ting won’t end, but it could develop
to the point where it is no longer a
■Sport.
iStop a moment and think. What
has happened to our constitutional
right to bear arms? It is no fantasy
that a law-abiding man, in most parts
of our country, is prohibited from
having a gun in his car ready for the
protection of his life.
If you are stopped by a bandit on
: the highway, of course you don’t have [ |
to submit. Instead you can choose to j
be dubbed or shot to death. Natural
ly—and here’s the irory—the bandit
can have a gun because he isn’t a
law-abiding citizen!
Most of us are engaged in shooting
because we’re interested in it as a'
sport. A vast majority channel their,
enthusiasm into hunting because it J
gets them out in the open and they
tike the spirit of the chase. Killing
game does not breed a lust to kill—
most humans feel a pang of sympathy
for game they have killed.
Many who are against hunting try
to outlaw guns because they regard
them as dangerous. But. are they as;
dangerous as many household risks—|
steps, bathtubs and butcher knives?
Accident records indicate that they are
not. Frankly, we’ll never eliminate
a ferw accidents with guns—but legis
lating against them isn’t the answer.
If you love shooting, only you can
do something about preserving its fu
ture. The answer to the firearms
question is not narrow-minded gun
legislation. The answer is education.
Teach everyone—boys, young men,
adults —how to use a gun. Then gun
handling will be safe.
Not long ago an officer’s report
from Korea complained about the lack
of GI experience in gun handling, rs
ever there was a time when Ameri
cans should be able to handle a gun
—then it is now!

Good Price Expected
For Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are expected to be
a profitable crop for North Carolina
farmers in 1961, asserts George 6,
Abshier, extension marketing specia
list at State College.
Because of increased consumer de
mand and reduced acreage, this year's
crop should bring good prices, he be
lieves.
Abshier explains that the greatly
expanded cotton acreage and increased
tobacco allotments will cut deeply into
sweet potato acreage this year. He
says the decrease will be particularly
noticeable here in the South.
“In view of the expected strong de
mand and short supply,’’ says Abshier,
“North Carolina farmers should find
Sweet potatoes a very profitable en
terprise this yfear.” The demand for
the Porto 'Rico variety is expected to
be particularly strong, according to
the specialist.
Farmers who have enough land and
sufficient labor are urged to grow
as many sweet potatoes as last year.
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture is recommending the same sweet
potato acreage for 1951 as was ad
vised for i 960.
Crop specialists urge sweet potato
growers to plant good quality, di
sease-free seed and use recommended
cultural practices to insure receiving
top prices. Careful harvesting, field
grading and packing are also essential,
they point out.
