Dixon Urges Game Protection

Thomas Dixon, famous author of
"The Clansman," "The Fall of a
Nation" and other widely known
novels dealing with the Old South,
has come out strongly for game
protection and against the general
drainage projects which now
threaten with extinction the wild
bird life of America.
Mr.. Dixon says: "I wish to add
my protest to this general drain
age of marsh, swamp and lake
land. We Americans are proverb-
tally short-sighted. Without doubt
we are claiming it is a sign of
Progress that within the past five
years half hundred million acres
of marsh land have been drained.
We roll the acreage under our
tongues as a sweet morsel; we do
not stop to think what this drain
age means to Americas migratory
birds, nor what the threat to mig
ratory birds means to US. We do
not stop and think until it is too
late. That is characteristic.
"The reeds and tall grasses in
marshy places furnish ideal rest
ing and breeding places for mig
ratory birds, the seeds affording
them sustenance. Here they stop,
rest, mate, build nests and raise
their young. They can not do this
in the air. No other piece of land
is SO ideal for this purpose, for no
other piece of land is by nature
so fortified against the birds nat
ural enemies. This land costs
money to be drained. No other
change in the landscape made by
man costs as much, and after it
is made, experience proves that the
land is practically worthless for
his purposes. He is sorry he didn't
leave it to the birds sorry too
late. Where there were formerly
hundreds of bodies of water which
raised ducks and fish and fur
bc2 ing animals, there lie today
acres of worthless land.
E'This makes little difference to
the millionaire who has his own
hunting preserves, but the aver
age hunter is deprived of every
chance to secure game. The con-
tinued drainage Of vast areas Of
land will leave breeding areas
which are too small to be of any
purpose. The birds are being ex-
terminated; we are making the
bagging of a duck as much the
recreation Of the wealthy classes
as golf. We are taking the democ-
Smyrna times., 1927-01-19

racy out of the most democratic
sport in the world.
at is for these reasons that Fed
eral and state authorities, national,
state and local cunning clubs and
individual gunners are uniting to
fight for the passage of the An
thony Game Refuge Bill which
comes before Congress in a fev
weeks. If you will stop and thinl-,
if you want your sons and sons
sons to enjoy the heritage OF
sportsmanship as unspoiled as your
father left it to you, write to you
Congressman and Senator to sup
port the Anthony Game Refuge
Bill"
Under the Game Refuge Bill
each hunter would pay one dollar
for license. This money would be
turned into the Treasury and con
stitute a special fund known as
the migratory Bird Protection
Fund" Perhaps one-half would
be used for the purchase of areas
suitable for waterfowl. The other
half of the money would be used
to protect the migratory birds and
make more effective a treaty be-
tween this country and Canada
for that purpose.
