OYSTERS IN NEED OF RAIN.

THE oyster crop is fair this sea-
sou" said a Shrewsbury river OYSTER
man yesterday, but this dry spell
is hurting it. A good rain would fix
US up all right.
How can rain affect an oyster?"
1T iattens it. For some reason or
other an oyster won't get fat when the
water is too salt. The oyster will
spawn and its shell will grow large in
very salt water, but it won't get fat.
If we have a long spell Of very salt
water in the Shrewsbury river our
oysters grow thin and habby. Then
you let US have a good rain, and when
the fresh water flows in from all the
creeks and mixes with the tide water
from the bay the %rascals will begin to
fill up their shells and look sleek and
comfortable. The crop is excellent
this season in numbers, and a good
rain will fix it up in quality.

The prospect is good.
There is no danger that the river

Nature seems to provide against a
scarcity OF oysters in ZONE way that !

out of the river in any season, the
more spawn oysters there are and the
faster they grow.
THE prices We are getting now for

There is an increasing demand fol

offered at most Of the stands when the
customer does not give a special order,
Culls are the oysters next in size after
