Oyster production retarded by climate and coral worm
Colonel William G Sterett Texas game fish and oyster commissioner filed his annual report for the year ending August 31 1913 noting ten years of drought like conditions reducing oyster food supply and a coral worm infestation. He cites new fish and oyster laws aiding recovery and reports stronger game numbers with enforcement reducing violations, especially in Galveston and Beaumont. A Dallas hatchery is under construction planned to rival leading facilities and should operate by next spring with grounds and shade trees. Funds on hand September 1 1913 totaled 38232 68 with 30338 28 in the fish and oyster fund and 7894 40 in the game fund.
