In response To an inquiry in regard tC
carp Prof Baird says: "The carp is now
often found in the Washington markets
but the flavor of those obtained in market
is very inferior TO those raised in ponds, for
the reason that they are taken from the
Potomac mainly at point where the Seven
teenth street sewer discharges the sewerage
of that portion of the city into the river, and
the impurities have no doubt deteriorated
the flesh of the fish. The water in which
the carp is raised is as important to its flavor
as oftentimes the pasturage is to beef"
