Henry J. Lewis, formerly large oyster
planter Of Fair Haven, who of late has head
quarters at stratford, says that he planted
only 10000 bushels of shells and gravel the
past summer as against about 250, 600 bushels
in former years. He il quite glad now that
he planted the smaller lot, because of the
failure of the set, although there are more
young oysters in the vicinity of Bridgeport
than In New Haven waters. he says gravel
makes better stock, rounder and handsomer
shells, although in seasons Of poor set the
spst will adhere to the shells more readily.
He digs the gravel from the bed of the
Housatonic river and improves the channel
as well. He put down very little gravel last
summer as there was such poor prospect of
set.

Fair Haven sailors and masters on shipbosrd
