Few
changes
Trout fishermen who like
the N.C. Wildlife Resources
Commission's present trout
program and regulations
should be happy.
The Commission has
propsed only four changes in
mountain trout fishing
regulations for 1973.
The most significant
proposal is to open those
stretches of streams now
under "trophy" trout fishing
regulations to year-round
fishing. This would give
anglers a chance to fish during
the off-season on the ap
proximately 18-miles of
"trophy" regulated streams.
The propsed regulation if
adopted is not considered by
the Commission to be
detrimental to the populations
of wild trout in these "trophy"
streams because anglers can
only keep one trout per day
(browns and rainbows 16
inches or over). Also,
"trophy" stream regulations
prohibit the use of any hire or
bait except artificial flies.
The Commission is also
proposing to relocate
without a loss in total
mileage part of the "trophy"
stretch of the South Mills
River -downstream. If adop
ted, the new "trophy" stretch
would extend from Cantrell
Creek to the lower Game Land
boundary, while the section of
the creek above Cantrell
Steer Sales
The fall Yearling Steer
Sales have started and many
Madison County farmers have
marketed their steers. Prices
have been very good in the two
steer sales to date. In the first
sale, prices for good and
choice cattle under 500 bs.
ranged from $44 to $46.80 per
cwt, 500 to 606 lb. cattle $42 to
$45.40, 650 to 800 lb. cattle
ranged from $36,756 to $42.
Heavier cattle ranged in price
per cwt from $32.20 to $37.25.
Light, medium cattle ranged
from $45 to $47 and 600 to 800
lb. medium cattle ranged
from $38to$43per cwt. A total
of 1,143 head were sold in this
sale, 743 or about GOper cent
graded choce or ffod
Prices were higher on the
second sale. Good and choice
cattle under 500 lbs. ranged
form $43.50 to $47 .25, 600 to 700
b. cattle in the good and
choice grade ranged from
$41.50 to $44 and 700 to 8001b.
Ext
ension
Cattle prices continue to be
higher than any in recent
years. The outlook is good for
the remainder of the faD
season and ItUe variation in
prices expected for spring.
Farmers planning to buy
cattle back to winter should
plan to carry on a better than
average nutritional
management program if they
expect to make a profit from
feeding steers next year.
There will be threesales this
fall for feeder calves. These
sales will be held on October 3
October 24, and October 31.

frout
proposed
Creek would be under
"native" regulations.
Because a new lake Lake
Jocassee will flood all but
two miles of the Horse pasture
River in Transylvania County,
the Commission is proposing
to drop the river from the list
of trout streams under
"native" troutregulations and
place it under open or general
trout regulations. Access to
the remaining two miles is
difficult, and the limited
fishingpressureis not expected
to hurt the trout population.
The onh other proposal
affecting trout streams is
being made to correct an error
made last year when Park
Creek was accidents ly in
cluded under "trophy"
regulations. The creek is
smal, and the Commission is
proposing that Park Creek be
under "native" trout
regulations. Under the
proposals, other regulations
affecting trout would remain
the same as in 1972.
The public hearings on these
and other proposed changes in
the fishing regulations for 1973
will be held October 9 at the
Buncombe County Courthouse
in Asheville; October 11 at the
Rowan County Courthouse in
Salisbury and on October 12 at
the Beaufort County Court
house in Washington All
hearings will begin at 7:30 p.

cattle ranged from $36 to
$37.80. Medium cattle were
higher this wek than last, light

medium cattle ranged from
$41.50 to $46 and heavier
medium cattle ranged from
$3150 to $41.10.
The market outlook for the
remainder of the fall season
looks good with no sharp
change in cattle prices ex

prevent this disease from
over-wittering in the field by
thoroughly clearing all the
vines and burning and then
plow the remaining stubble
under. This would certainly be
an asset in keeping the winter
outbreak of bacterial canker
down in tomato fields.
If your strawberries have
not been top dressed this faD,
you should do so im

School days...the smell of
new blue jeans, warm milk
through a paper straw, and a
row of bicvlces lined uo in
front of the school house. The
picture hasn't changed too
much for many years, but the
row of bicycles has become
longer and longer.
Bicycles in the United States
numbered 75 million this year,
an increase of 50 million
bikes over 10 years ago. The
projection is that 11.5 million
will be sold this year alone.
The figure reinforces the
contention of cycle en
thusiasts, both young and old,
that theirs is becoming the
fastest growing sport and
exercise form in the United
States.
Bicylce sales are in
creasing; but, unfortunately,
the tremendous growth In the
use of the bicycle has been
accomapnied by a similar
increase In biking accidents
and fatalities, says the In
surance Information Institute.
In North Carolina last year,
699 bike accidents, resulting in
705 personal injuries and 28
deaths, were reported.
Statistics show that in most
bicycle accidents the cyclist
violates a traffic law. Inat
tention or failure to yield the
right-of-way accounts for the
largest number of mishaps,
according to the Institute. In
less than one-third of bike
accidents, the motor vehicle
driver violates a traffic rule
or regulation.
Rural bicycling accidents
generally are the more severe
type. Though most accidents
occur on city streets, more
than 50 per cent of the
fatalities and a large per
centage of the serious injuries
occur in rural areas.
The Institute suggests that
bike riders should obey all
traffic laws, signs and
signals; signal turns clearly
and properly; ride in a single
file on the side of the road with
the traffic; use lights,
reflectors, and light colored
clothing when riding at night;
obey all rules that drivers of
motor vehicles must observe,
especially those pertaining to
right-of-way; and maintain
the bicycle in good condition
so that It won't cause any
accidents.
The most important rule for
bicyclists is to remember to
take the bicycle seriously. The
bike is a form of healthy,
pollution-free transportation,
and not a toy or a plaything.
