Mr. NJ l.. Wilder of Pembroke writes the
Eastport Sentinel that when he was mem
Der of the Maine Board of Agriculture, ff-
teen years, he protested against the whole
sale SEEMING of porgies for fertilizers and pre-
dicted that in short time they would be ex-
terminated, if the practice were continued.
Scientific men argued that the fish were so
numerous it was impossible to destroy them
but to-day no porgies are found j. Maine
waters. Mr. Wilder thinks that a warning
should be taken and the SEEMING of mackeral
be stopped, or similar result will follow.
