THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.

The Shell fish Commission met last
week at Englehard to hear protest
against their decision as to the Public
Grounds of Far Creek. The protes-
tants claimed that one of the areas
set apart was not natural oyster bed
and consequently should not be re
served from entry. After examining
the ground and hearing testimony on
both sides, the COMM ssiOners de-
cided to modify the previously deter
mined boundaries of the area, and
the decision arrived at was satisfac.
tory to both sides. The decision as
to the Public Grounds Of Hyd and
Carteret counties was made at the
same meeting and both of those
counties will be open for entry in the
course of short time. A firm Of
Connecticut oyster growers have
applied for blanks for twenty appli-
cants for GAO acres each. If these
are made and the ground
the North Carolina oyster
grounds will begin to experience a
decided boom.-Economist.

ago. Not only is it growing in New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore,
but the demand from all the West
ern cities has largely increased. The

lima furnish the first and best supplies,
