PAGE SIX THE NEWS-JOURNAL I1 ROD & GUN By Tom Walker EXPERIENCE From time to time it's been a pleasure to chro nicle in this report some of the doings of the very younger gen eration of sportsmen none more than 10 years old with pole and line. Now it's the turn qf the other end of the scale. Just recently news was made by a couple of hunters who have been tramping out in the field altogether for more than 120 years and still at it. One of the stories concerns "Uncle" Joe Hargrove of Hay wood county, 73 years old, who has hunted bear 50 years. The story comes from W. B. Poston, refuge protector of the rugged Daniel Boone Wildlife Area in Haywood. Poston offers a caption for the story 'The Boys Get Their Wish.' The wish was that Uncle Joe would get the bear, if luck fell to members of the Hargrove club who went on a managed hunt in the 'Daniel Boone area early this month. Uncle Joe took his stand high in the roughs above Sams Knob. When the dogs found a bear, at first ft appeared that Uncle Joe was out of luck, Poston says, but then he bear made a turn and went to his stand and Uncle Joe put the proper finish on the story by bagging the 400-pounder with a couple of shots. PERSISTENCE From his half-century of hunting experi ence, Uncle Joe can summon an object lesson for hunters who discourage easily when game doesn't show up right away dur ing a hunt.

HERE THEY ARE! his club hunted all the bear , old and ranges of Sherwood and the 70 yeafs Smoky Mountains without find ing a track. They vowed they'd get a bear that season even if they had to go to the coast. Well, the upshot was that the club did go to the coast and brought back two bears. FLORA AND FAUNA From down in Currituck comes the other story that ' hunters don't outgrow the urge to get into the field. The central figure in this one i. Sheriff Bob Flora, 83 years hunter for more than Just recovered from a spell' of pneumonia, Sheriff Flora was resting at home one Saturday morning when his grandson Bill, who's completing at State college an education which the war delayed, showed up and mentioned the possibility of a ' deer hunt.

Thompson of Mt. Gilead, U wbarrie refuge manager, who re ports it was one of those re leased in the area under the western trapping program of the Division of Game and In land Fisheries. The buck was a 12-poinnt, 200-pounder, in excellent condition. The deer was given to the Montgomery County Home. FISHING NOTES A couple of notes on fishing come from District Fish and Game Protec tors W. B. Cope of Sylva and E. L. Mosely of Columbia. Cope reports some fine catches of bass from Lake Fontana. One man and woman whose creels he checked the other day had 10 bass about 18 inches n length and weighing from three to five pounds. Mosely reports recent sizeable catches of rorkfish from Albemarle Sound. SERVICE This fall's heavy demand for hunting licenses, which has kept the State printer in a tizzy and has kept license agents clamoring for frequent re placement of exhausted books, brought out a new one during the last-minute rush on the eve of the quail and rabbit seasons. Protector Hugh A. Robertson of Statesville, besieged just be fore the Thanksgiving Day op ening by hunters who wanted licenses, found himself and his State College Answers Timely Farm Questions Q: Will crop insurance on cot ton be offered next year? A: Yes. And there will be a new contract, too. The changes relate to the amount of coverage that the grower is given at var ious stages in cotton production. The provisions are more liberal. Last year 136,428 contracts were written In the cotton belt. There agents completely out of books. He solved the problem by char tering a piano for a trip to Ral eigh, which got him back to Ire dell in time for everybody to be happy and to have licenses for opening day. . were almos 385 housiand con tracts on wheat, a few on flax, and trial contracts on corn and tobacco. U. S. farmers were pro tected with about 280 millions of dollars in crop insurance on the basis of June 30 prices.' Q: Is DDT poisonous to ani mals? A: Yes, sir. Seed corn grow ers are using a spray of 5 per cent DDT solution at the rate of I gallon to each 1,000 square feet in cleaning old bins and they also put 2 ounces of 5 percent DDT dust to each 100 pounds of corn. This is fine for seed corn but not for corn which is to be fed to animals. Be careful in using oil sprays of DDT. Write the Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh, for Extension Circular No. 291 and it will give you the latest recommendations on the use of DDT. SEE 0. G.
