SCC OPEN HOUSE-James Matthews and John Richards, Sandhills Community
College landscape gardening students, arrange plants for the holiday open house 5
p.m. Friday and Saturday in the horticulture building on SCC campus. Each year
the open house attracts hundreds of public visitors to view the colorful display of
flowers and plants grown by students. About six hundred poinsettias in full bloom

decor. (Alice Baxter Photo)

BY JIM DEAN
Three years ago, I wrote a column
that I hoped would acquaint sportsmen
with some of the better new books
written about hunting and fishing. Since
I've got some new ones I'd like to add
to the list, and since the Christmas
season is a good time to give books as
gifts, I've decided to do it again.
My recommendations fall into two
categories. The first one concerns books
that deal largely with "how-to ' fish or
hunt. The second category contains
books which have hunting or fishing as
one of the themes, but not necessarily
Ihe main theme. Such books are usually
serious in nature, but have an outdoor
flavor.
Let's start with the "how-to"
category first. These books always make
good presents, even for sportsmen who
are not avid readers.
Deer hunters will find Norman
St rung's "Deer Hunting" a most
interesting and valuable book. I know of
no other on deer hunting that is more
complete and more accurate. It is
published by the J. B. Lippincott Co.,
New York (1973) and sells for $7.95.
With the wild turkey making a
comback in North Carolina, what better
way to please an old chalk box scraper
than to give him a copy of James F.
Brady's "Modern Turkey Hunting."
published by Crown Publishers. New
York (1973) for S6.95.
Brady's book has a strong North
' Carolina flavor, and that no accident.
Wayne Bailey -- who is the N.C. Wildlife
Resources Commission's turkey
biologist, and the best in the
business--has written the introduction
and contributed heavily to the book.
If you are a serious fisherman, you
are definitely living in the middle ages if
you don't know how to tie the knots
described in Lefty Kreh and Mark
Sosin's' "Practical fishing Knots,"
published bv Crown Publishers, New
York (1973) for S5.95. You may think
-at I did-that you know all the knots
yotiH ever need. But do you know how
to tie the Bimini Twist, the Albright
Special, (he Homer Rhode Loop? These
and many other knots are demonstrated
clearly in excellent photo*. These knots,

some with 100 percent holding strength,
are essential in salt water, and also
useful to the freshwater fisherman. The
authors also cover such key points such
as care of lines, tying monofilament to
wire, putting line on a spinning reel
without twist and other critical bits of
knowledge.
The book that has provided me with
the most idle pleasure this year is
"Great Fishing Tackle Catalogs of the
Golden Age," edited by Samuel Melner
and Hermann Kessler with a
commentary by Sprace Grey Hackle.
This delightful romp through the
heritage of Ashing reprints actual pages
from catalogs going back as much as a
century. It's published by Crown
Publishers, New York, and sells for
S6.9S.
From the list of books on trout
fishing available-some of them reprints
of old classics-it would appear that
everyone who ever hurled a fly or a
worm into moving water must have
"intimations of immortality."
In my opinion, two books-both
new-stand oM. The first is Ernest
Schwiebert's ong awaited "Nymphs." If
you are a jerious fly fisherman, this
book will ,o more to improve the state
of your craft than any other. It's
publishej by Crown Publishers, New
York, and sells for $9.95. If you are just
beginning to enjoy the pleasures of
trout fishing, the late Joe Brooks' last
book 'Trout Fishing" will give you the
basic knowledge. Also published by
Crown Publishers, New York, it sells for
S8.95.
If you merely want some pleasurable
reading, get Robert Ruark's 'The Old
Man and The Boy," and the sequel 'The
Old Man's Boy Grows Older." Both are
widely available in paperback.
My all-time favorite is William
Humphrey's "The Spawning Run,"
published in hardback by Alfred Knopf.
It's about salmon fishing in the British
Isles, but that ain't all.
Finally, if everybody thinks you're
weird and you like to fish for trout,
read Richard Brautigan's 'Trout Fishing
in America," available in paperback. But
I won't promise you'll like it. You may
not be weird enough.

?SEN SAM?
Continued from page 2
out that we had a fuel crisis, and "in a
real sense, it involves the lives, fortunes,
and destiny of the country." Since that
time many in the Congress, and I must
say with only nominal encouragement
from the Administration until very
recently, have sought to head off this
crisis.
Not only must the Administration
now give the American people the facts
about our energy requirements,
production, and resources, but we need
to furnish reliable information so that
individuals and industry can make plans
and not have to grope in the dark. The
new Federal Energy Administration
must immediately Stan offices and work
with tale and local governments and
industi^ to fairly allocate fuel supplies.
I am advised that a few days ago the
Atlanta office had more than 5000
applications for fuel allocations with
available staff to process only 400 of
those applications. Full staffing for
regional offices is only now underway.
Time and again during the Senate
Government Operations Committee
hearings on this legislation, the point
was made that no energy program will
work unless the American people
understand the problem and are assured
that they will be fairly treated in sliaring
shortages.
Simon, the new energy car, comes
into his post with a reputation for his
ability to make tough and decisive
decisions. He will also need the wisdom
of a Solomon to promote the national
good as we feel the impact of the energy
crisis.
Accent On
Agriculture
The problem of adequate supplies of
energy now and in the future is
obviously of great concern to farmers.
American agriculture uses more
petroleum products than any other
single industry. Farmers consume
approximately 3 percent of America's
consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel
in producing food to feed and fiber to
clothe consumers.
Agricultural production requires
about 3 percent of the total electricity
produced. Nearly 25 percent of the
nation's production of liquified
petroleum gas is used on United States
farms - about half for production
purposes and half for farm home
heating and cooking.
Since 1939, United States agricultural
fuel consumption has increased nearly
fourfold to 8 billion gallons a year. By
1980, we expect our fuel demand to
increase 45 percent.
Agriculture can, and will, make
internal adjustments to save fuel, but
the margin of adjustment Is narrow. The
solution to the fuel crisis in agriculture
is going to have to come mainly from
outside agriculture where .the
overwhelming bulk of the fuel is used -
much of It productively, but all too
much of it wastefuBy
Agriculture is a basic and vital
industry; we cannot afford to permit
the wastage and conspicuous
consumption of fuel throughout our
economy to Interfere with farm output
of food and fiber.
