NINTH ANNUAL REPORT DEPARTMENT GAME AND FISH
To His Excellency, Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, Governor, and to
the Honorable Members of the General Assembly, of the State of Georgia
I have the honor to present herewith the report of the De-
partment of Game and Fish, for the year ending June 30th,
1920, making the Ninth Annual Report. The season of 1919-20 shows increased receipts. The ex-
penses of maintenance have also increased but the Department this year will turn over a surplus in excess of last season.
A full financial statement of the receipts and disbursements
duly audited is attached to this report showing in detail the income and expense of the Department.
GENERAL.
In some few counties of the State difficulty is experienced in securing the necessary co-operation to enforce the law. It is, however, a source of gratification that this condition only exists in a limited number of counties while the law has grown in general favor all over the State, and especially in "hose counties in which stricter enforcement has been secured.
Insectivorous birds are today the greatest factor in helping
We to destroy the numerous insects that pray upon our crops.
have imported many new species of bugs and various parasites that imperil crops, and birds are the medium through which
nature works to combat this foe. The Georgia law which absolutely protects insectivorous and song birds is gradually coming into general favor among the farmers as the economic value of bird life in preserving the food supply ofthe State becomes generally known.
We are making some advances. We have established a game
preserve in conjunction with the Federal Government in that

section of North Georgia known as the Appalachian Forest Reservation. The law needs some amendments at this session of the Legislature but it is a great step forward in securing a sanctuary for game from which the northeast section of our State may be restocked.
Reports from the different wardens as to the conditions and
quantity of game have been very encouraging. A noticeable
increase among the game birds has been reported. Wild turkey is more plentiful than for many years ; deer in the south-
ern part of the State are multiplying. It is true that this growth is slow but every condition points to our holding in re-
serve sufficient game for the benefit of all the citizens of the
State.
Possibly no other asset we have will do as much to promote health and teach our young boys to live in the open as the game birds and animals of the State wisely and conservately
used.
CHANGES IN THE LAW.
Since the last session of the Legislature the Supreme Court of the United States has held the Federal Migratory Bird Act
valid. This changes the seasons in this State in several re-
spects. The most noticeable of which are in our dove and migratory duck seasons. The decision makes the dove season from November 20th to January 31st and changes the duck season from November 20th to January 31st and cuts the bag limit to twenty-five per day.
This conflict between the State and Federal Law is very puzzling to a great many of our people. This decision of the Su-
preme Court is now supreme. In view of this situation it would seem wise that the Commissioner be granted authority to make the game season correspond with the Federal season upon such game as comes under the Federal Migratory Bird Act. It would be wiser to grant this authority than to attempt to change the law at each session of the Legislature as the Secretary of Agriculture in Washington is clothed with authority to make changes in the different seasons as he sees fit and has made three changes in the last eighteen months.

The possession of a State License will not prevent a citizen from being prosecuted by Federal Wardens and from being fined in the United States Court. In view of this it would seem to be wiser to have the laws the same so that no confusion might arise among the hunters.
FISH.
In my last report I stressed the pollution of streams. This
pollution is going to be a greater menace every year. No
words that I might use would be too strong to convey the idea
of how detrimental this pollution is becoming in the destruc-
tion and depletion of fish in our fresh water streams. Again I urge upon you the necessity of the codification of our fish laws and a revision of same.
Fish laws are very much harder to enforce than the game laws. The Department is at a loss to understand this attitude
on the part of the public but it remains a fact that it is exceedingly difficult to secure enforcement of the laws covering fresh water fish under the statutes as drawn at present.
At the last session of the Legislature a revision of the Salt "Water Fish Act was made and it has seemed to meet with approval upon the coast of Georgia.

OYSTERS.

A bill was introduced at the last session of this Legislature
to cover the oyster question in this State. This bill was drawn to form a basis upon which we could build for the future.

For ten years in Georgia we have discussed the oyster ques-

We tion.

have been deploring the conditions that exist but no

steps have been taken to remedy these conditions. Those who

have profited by the State's negligence in the matter have se-

cured postponement after postponement of any action looking

toward the protection of this valuable property for the citizens
of the State. The submerged oyster lands now belonging to
the State of Georgia have almost reached the point of deple-
tion and we either must make provisions for the future in the next year or two or see these lands grow practically worth-

less.

The Department hopes very much that this bill will receive the approval of the members of the General Assembly.

FRESH WATER FISH.

This Department has tried in every way to assist the people

We of the State in securing- fish for stocking purposes.

have

helped citizens secure fish for the purpose of stocking private

ponds and also certain fresh water streams in the State. This

work has been accomplished by the aid of the Bureau of Fish-

eries in Washington and this Department desires to express its

high appreciation of their assistance which alone made the

work possible.

SALT WATER FISH INDUSTRY.

We also give in this report some figures showing the value

of the Salt Water Fish Industry in this State. It is very diffi-

We cult to secure exact data on this subject.

have taken this

up with dealers in the State and with different Departments

of the National Government which secure statistics, and we

believe these figures are approximately correct. This includes

all form of fish life and embraces fish, shrimp, oysters, terra-

pin and shad.

In presenting these figures the Department only tries to

give the people of Georgia some general information as to the

conditions that exist in our five coast counties and what a

valuable asset the fish industry is to these counties. The prin-

cipal places in this State in which the fish industry is located

are Savannah, Brunswick, Darien, St. Marys, and Valona.

We also have two islands on which canneries are situated, St.

Catherines and Wilmington. We have two menhaden plants

A at St. Marys.

great deal of the Georgia catch goes to Fer-

nandina, Florida also.

These figures are given you in the table below.

The Department desires to thank the Governor for the ac-

tive and unfailing interest he has always shown in the work

that has been undertaken by us. The press of the State has

been very generous in giving us all the publicity possible and

in carrying the news from the Department at all times and we desire to acknowledge the obligation. Many of the school teachers in the State have co-operated in every way possible.

The Department lives solely through the support and active

interest of the sportsmen of Georgia and all true sportsmen

have shown a wonderful spirit of co-operation since I have

been Commissioner.
The County Wardens of the State deserve special considera-

tion. They are often abused, frequently get little co-operation in their home counties and yet receive scant remuneration for giving largely of their time in the work of preserving the game and fish life of the State. The Commissioner desires to express his gratitude to this loyal band of wardens who have

sustained him all during the present year.

The Department still believes that better enforcement of the law would be secured if we were able to hire one or two men who would be able to go from county to county in the State cooperating with the local wardens and doing their best in ferret-

ing out and punishing offenders against the law. This Department has always received courteous and consid-
erate treatment at the hands of the Legislature and we es-
pecially desire to thank the Committee on Came and Fish both
from the Senate and the House for their interest in tliis work

last session.
