GAME V
and
W FI SH
By FULTON LOVELL
Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission
FISHERMAN'S BEST FRIEND
VT OU fishermen may not know this, but those men you
see removing fish from baskets on lakes and streams
are your best friends.
They are removing the nemisis of good fish
ing—rough fish. And, in the long run, it benefits
the fishermen of Georgia.
One of the Game and Fish Commission’s big
gest jobs is that of controlling rough, or unde
sirable, fish. And, commercial fishermen are our
best allies.
Most lakes and streams have more than
their share of rough fish. Fishery biologists
have established through survey projects
that populations of most lakes in the state
- . consist of from 92 to 95 per cent rough fish,
Fulton Lovell i • *
leaving us only a small percentage of game
fish, such as bass, bream, crappie and the like.
Thus, if we are to improve fishing we must remove the rough
species for they deprive game fish of food and, in most cases, feed
on other fish.
Commercial Fishing Big Business
That’s where commercial fishermen enter the picture.
With their nets and baskets, commercial fishermen are allowed
to remove carp, gar and suckers and catfish. They are not permitted
to take or sell any game or sport fish. As a matter of fact, the
nets and baskets used by commercial fishermen are designed to
catch only the rough species. But, in case of error, the law specifies
that commercial must return all game fish and keep only the rough
variety.
In most states commercial fishing is big business. While
they will have good and bad seasons, commercial fishermen us
ually take from one thousand to one hundred thousand pounds
per week.
Georgia is not the only state plagued by rough fish. Nor is it
the only one which hopes to whip the situation with commercial
fishermen.
Sport Fishing Institute, a national organization pledged to
“shorten the time between bites,” is a staunch advocate of com
mercial fishing as a means to cure rough fish problems.
The Story of the Misinformed
I can never bring up the rough fish situation without passing
on this story.
A few years back, the Game and Fish Commission decided to
do some rough fish removal work in the Ogeechee river near a
south Georgia metropolis.
When the citizens heard we would use commercial fishermen,
they circulated petitions to have the program stopped. We
assured them that they would suffer no harmful effects and
they reluctantly agreed not to interfere.
Months passed.
When the commercial fishermen pulled up their nets and baskets
and headed for hotter fishing spots, the citizenry of that town got
busy with their rods and reels.
Fishing had improved over 100 per cent, they said, which was
what we told them in the very beginning.
Soon, another petition was circulated. This one demanded
that we open all streams in that area to commercial fishing.
Which goes to prove that commercial fishing can do the job.
And, which further proves that commercial fishermen are anglers’
best friends.
Moate Not a Candidate
Will Support Vandiver
House Speaker Marvin Moate has formally en
dorsed Lt. Gov. Ernest Vandiver for governor in the
September primary.
The veteran state legislator from Hancock county *
said he had been urged by friends to make the race
for governor himself, but that he had rejected the
suggestions.
“I am giving Ernest Vandiver my unqualified and
wholehearted support and intend to do everything I
can to help in this race,” he said. “With his past ex
perience as lieutenant governor and adjutant gen
eral, he has the experience in state government which
is needed to carry our state through the next four
years.”
Christian Index
Circulation at
All Time High
ATLANTA — The Georgia
Baptist Convention weekly
news magazine, The Christian
Index, reached a record cir
culation of 100,070 last week,
John J. Hurt, Jr., editor, an
nounced.
The Index, the second oldest
weekly religious newspaper in
the United States in continuous
existence, has been serving
Georgia Baptists since Sep
tember, 1833. The paper was
established by Luther Rice,
pioneer missionary, in 1822 as
The Columbian Star with of
fices in Washington, D. C.
The Index currently has the
largest circulation of any
Southern Baptist Convention
state publication except Tex
as.
The 100,000-mark represents
a doubling of circulation with
in the past seven years, Hurt
said.
J. B. Preston, agronomist-to
bacco, Agricultural Extension
Service, says irrigation of tobac
co is profitable only if water is
applied at the proper time and
in proper amounts and if other
good production practices are
followed.
B. R. Murray, forester, Agricul
tural Extension Service, says
planted pines will yield a har
vest in about 15 years.
Progressively Better Health
Is Georgians Guarantee
Georgia is a healthy place
to live in, work in and visit.
The 1957 annual report of
the Georgia Department of
Public Health, recently pre
sented by Dr. Thomas F. Sel
lers, director, to the Govrenor,
the State Board of Health,
and the people of Georgia re
veals that almost every area
of public health work was ex
panded during the year and
many new programs were
started which will benefit all
Georgians in years to come.
“The Department adminis
tered a budget of over $lB
million,” Dr. Sellers said, “to
provide health services for
every citizen. In addition to
basic services, a new program
was started during the year
to provide short term treat
ment for mentally disturbed
people in the general hospit
als around the State, which
we hope will reduce the num
ber being committed annually
to Milledgeville State Hospit
al.”
The report stated that slight
ly less than 100,000 live births
were recorded last year. There
were 32,373 deaths and 50,-
264 marriages.
Three years ago, Dr. Sellers
said, the 159 counties in the
State were divided into 38
health districts, so that more
effective use could be made of
personnel and equipment. Two
districts were activated in 19-
57, bringing the total to 20
of the proposed 38.
He pointed out the opening
of a Crippled Children’s Clin
ic in Macon, which is the ninth
location where regular clinics
are held for treating deform
ites of birth, accident, or di
sease.
“We have about 200 child
ren per month referred to our
clinics for treatment,” he said,
“and during the year over 7000
crippled children received
care.”
Construction was begun on
10 new hospitals or health
centers and work was comple
ted on 23 during the year.
The State Health Department
administered $6,469,000 in fed
eral, state and local funds for
hospital and health center con
struction in 1957.
The State continued to pro
vide financial aid for treat
ment of cancer patients at a
rate of about 4,000 patients
per year. Admissions to tuber
culosis hospitals totaled 1,724,
the second highest number in
the history of the hospitals.
Deaths fram TB dropped
slightly, but it is still the lead
ing contagious disease prob
lem. Heart disease and home
highway accidents remain the
leading causes of death.
Dr. Sellers commended the
communities who have added
Come in and see our INTERNATIONAL Truck
"POWR-LOK Test"!
POWR-LOK is an ingenious new
differential that gives power to the
rear wheel that has the most traction.
With POWR-LOK you pull
through mud holes, loose sand, other
slippery places that would normally
stop a truck with standard differ
ential.
So don’t spin your wheels. Be sure
your next truck is an International

fluoride to their drinking wa
ter and stated that approxi
mately 666,000 people in 53
communities are now receiving
the benefits of this public
health measure in Georgia.
Three counties — Spalding,
Houston and Lamar —have the
highest restaurant sanitation
rating in the nation, so far as
is officially known. Regular
sanitation inspections of milk,
housing, tourist courts, schools
and hospitals were carried
out during the year.
“Georgia can well be proud,
Dr. Sellers commented, “that
for 26 years there have been
no water borne diseases repor
ted in the State.” He attribut
ed this to the routine examin
ation of over 22,000 water
samples by the department
during the year, plus constant
vigilance on the streams and
other water sources.
The report shows improve
ments in maternal, infant and
school health and that com
municable disease rates are
low while mortality figures
except for the degenerative
diseases, dropped again.
Rabies, no longer much of a
problem in the State, is con
fined largely to wildlife. There
were 97 rabid foxes reported,
with only 67 dogs, 15 cats, 12
cows, 3 horses and 1 bat.
Total syphilis declined dur
ing the year. However, there
was an increase in primary
and secondary syphilis repor
ted. Dr. Sellers attributed this
to concentration on early case
finding through new techni
ques.
“1957 was a real year of
progross for public health in
Georgia,” he said, “and the
goals we have achieved this
year provide a mark which
we will strive to exceed dur
ing 1958. Continued progress
is the real measure of success
in public health.”
