ries in the East or South. But 1t can
not rnmain so unless it's game re-
sources are conserved and developed.
| Although this State is the camping
ground of many sportsmen during the
came season, neither the State nor any
county of the State. has ever received
financial compensation commensurate
! with the amount of service rendered
to sportsmen. This is an evidence tnae
we have never had proper game legls-
lation. We have only to look around
US to see what other States have done
and what we have left undone. We
have a system of local and conflicting
bird and game laws that render enec-
tive protection impossible. For ex-
ample we have thirty-six different open
seasons on deer, eleven counties hav-
ing no closed season at all; twenty
seven different open seasons on SOUR
rels. forty-eight counties having no
closed seasons; thirty-three different
omen seasons on quail, one county hav-
ing no closed season; twenty-s1x diff
ferent open seasons on wild turkey,
and two no open seasons. Many Of
these different seasons prevail in
counties adjacent to each other, too;
This state of affairs should not exist
We shall by all means have a more
uniform and effective system of State
wide bird and game legislation and a
State Game Commission to execute
such legislation. This is the only
State, save one"in the Union that does
not have Bird and Game Commission.
With such a department as other
States have, our State should be re-
ceiving an annual income of over
twenty-five thousand dollars. enabling
us to give our birds and game better
protection than ever before. In addf-
ton to this income to the State. there
would be an income at least ten times
as great to the land owners, hotels,
liveries. guides, ETC., of the communi-
ties freQuented by sportsmen, and
there would be sport and recreation
for ALL
From these considerations, it is evi-
dent that the birds and game of the
State constitute one of its greatest
assets, and is well worth legislative
attention and protection That We
need better legislation is evident to
every one who knows conditions as
they now exist And this need is inn
perative. Let us urge, therefore. that
our next General Assembly give US
such legislation as will most reasona-
bly, insure the protection and develop
ment of the bird and game resources
of the State.
