TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND FISH
STATE OF GEORGIA

TO HIS EXCELLENCY, CLIFFORD M. WALKER, GOVERNOR, and to the HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

In obedience to the requirements of the law, and in high

respect,- I herewith hand you my report of the operation of

the Department of Game and Fish for the year ending June

30th, 1923, the same being the twelfth annual report of this

Department since the date of organization.

It will be seen from this report duly audited by a registered

certified accountant, that this Department of State govern-

ment over which it is my honor to preside, is more than self-

A sustaining.

condition which shows a comfortable, net bal-

ance over expenditures made in the conduct of any depart-

ment, may be taken as reassuring evidence in any administra-

tion committed to economic government by the people.

Under the operation of the game and fish laws of Georgia,

administered in the exercise of courtesy and common sense

with the zealous co-operation of law respecting sportsmen;

with the unselfish assistance of patriotic county officials and

law abiding citizens, abundant evidence is to be had of great

increase in both game animals, game birds, and all kinds of

fish.
It is to be noted that a strong local sentiment which calls for growing respect for the game and fish laws, is to be observed generally throughout the State. This much desired
condition may be further advanced by a firm, yet courteous
policy of enforcement, by wardens and deputy wardens, to hunters, trappers, fishers and citizens, and this consideration on the part of the official, in whatever contact with the people, is a part of the policy urged and encouraged by this Department. Severity in admonition is never desirable in law enforcement, whereas prompt punishment of wanton offenders tends to wholesome determent in law violation.
To this end I would respectfully suggest as amendment to

the law giving certain powers to wardens, so that these offi-
cials may be clothed with police authority, as this invalues the game laws of the State.
GAME PRESERVES A COMPELLING NECESSITY
Notwithstanding our game and fish have shown hopeful increase under existing laws, there is ever present danger of disaster, which may come in restricted timber lands, through polluted streams, and through varying causes of decay now unknown to our State.
There can be no better time than now for the law making
body of our great State to visualize and to plan for the future. While Georgia yet abounds in timber lands of wide area,
possessing in greater number, probably, more fresh water streams than any other State in the Union; coastal territory that is unsurpassed for salt water fishing and propagation;
natural resources without limit, that may be drafted to carry on the work of conservation, we have been too indifferent to the demands of the future, to provide game preserves and hatcheries for the preservation and propagation of game animals, game birds and fish and salt water fish and oysters.
This is a most threatening state of delay, and I respectfully call the attention of the Governor and your honorable body to these necessities that seem to compel the legislative mind.
GAME LAWS SHOULD BE AMENDED AND SIMPLIFIED
The Game and Fish laws of the State should be codified so as to better preserve game animals, game birds, and fish
and oysters, and they should be so simplified as to be easily understood by all the people. This can be done by careful codification, in which unnecessary form and superfluous words
may be eliminated, leaving for the layman direct simplified expression, which may not be subject to confused construc-
-- tion and which would rarely, if ever, be subjected to court
review and interpretation. All hunters of game animals and game birds, except where
any of these may hunt upon their own land, should be compelled to procure a license. All persons who fish for a livelihood, or who sell fish which they catch from the streams of
this State, should pay a license for this privilege.

THE STATE OYSTER BEDS
There are estimated to be 100,000 acres, or more, oyster beds and marshes in Georgia, which, under the law, are public property and therefore, public prey. The oyster product in Georgia represents a wonderful industry and this could be advanced by well determined legislation to protect this vast area of oyster beds and marshes.
Our oyster bottoms are being depleted and destroyed by lack of State protection and by improper methods of oyster fishing. The possibilities of this industry are great, and would run into the millions if properly re-planted and protected.
The State of North Carolina recently appropriated half a million dollars for the up-building and protection of the oyster beds on their coast.
This Department could, by retaining the funds taken in from the coast and adjoining counties, in a few years, rebuild their oyster beds to a very large extent, which would bring a large yearly income to the State. Georgia's oyster beds have been neglected so long; robbed and gathered so constantly that the public has lost sight of their true value, which has been reduced to a minimum for the want of protection.
The children of our State should be specially trained in intelligent appreciation of the birds and animals that use the fields and woodlands of Georgia, and of the fish that abound in our streams, and they should also be made acquainted with the laws that govern and protect these animals, birds and fish. I submit that it is not out of place here to respectfully request the help of the teachers of our State in this valued work of patriotic instruction and discipline.
The press of the State, daily, weekly, and monthly papers, has given splendid assistance to this department and it is with pleasure that I acknowledge the valued aid received by editors and reporters generally.
Herewith I attach a financial statement of receipts and disbursements in this department, to which T invite your inter-
ested consideration. Respectfully submitted,
J. PRANK RHODES
State Game and Fish Commissioner.
