Crop Reporting Service summary.
"Tile crop at this time is around
two weeks later than usual in pra
ctically all areas." he added. "Dry
weather during the first of tile sea

growers reset two or three times,

When th< nogfish feels or detects :..r I

The riband fish is also an out
standing creature- of the deep. It
comes from tne greatest depths of
the sea which are its natural home.
Volcanic disturbances spew this fish
from its environment at times and
throw it upon the shore. Shaped like
a ribbon, the riband's body is so thin
as to bo almost transparent. The
color of burnished .silver, in the water
gives off a sheen of great beauty
and depth.
Saltwater Kacktcers
It lime to wake up! An article in
July issue of "The Southern Sports
man" published in Austin Texas,
goes over the salt water fishing pro
blem pretty completely. To sports- ;
men who believed that the ocean was
a vast storehouse to be drawn on
indefinitely, the extradorinary poor
fishing for the past two years has
been a severe shock. And nothing is
being done about it. Shrimp netters
kill not thousand.", but millions of
small fish in the inland bay regions.
There should be a law to keep them
out of inland waters. Commercial
fishermen bottle up great hordes of
fish in the passes as they go to and I
from the ocean and their retreats in I
the bays and lagoons. By stretching
nets, bottling them up, in these pass
es they can slay countless tons of
fish. Something should be done about
it! Don't wait for "George to do it."
Write your state representative and
senator. Let's get some action before
it is too late. George is tired!
will it Rot:
That's what we call it ? rot! Once
we put our nice bamboo casting rod
in an air tight case. The rod was wet.
We forgot to dry it upon reachinn,
home. Next time we wanted to go
fishing the rod practically disappea
red in our hands upon taking it out
of the case. So ? never put a rod away
damp or in a damp case. Dry it
throughly. Your aluminum rod case
is not necessarily watertight at the
end. It is well to lubricate ferrules by i
rubbing them thru your hair or the
side of your nose before assembling
the rod.

Timely Farm Questions
QUESTION : What should be done
when crops contain too much mois
ture at the time they must be placed
in the silo?
I ANSWER : One hundred pounds of
I dry hay, stover or straw introduced
| into the cutter along with each ton
of the green crop will raise the dry
matter content of the mixture ap-,
proximately 3 Vi percent, says John
A. Arey. Extension dairyman of N.|
C. State ollege. Three hundred j
pounds of such material, added in
this way, would convert a crop of 16
to 18 percent dry matter into a mix
ture having nearly 30 percent, s
very desirable level. tir. ^ ,
