The Oyster Outlook

Since the opening of tho dredging and
scraping season, says the Herald, il has been
discovered that the supply Of oysters in deep
water is VERY short. The Heets which came in
last week were all light loaded, an both the
boat captains and he packers are not a little
aishrartenej at the outlook. The Gull law,
which has M literally aided in RESTOCKING the
rocks, does not appear to have accomplished
so much on tie deep bay beds as in the shall
lower water Of the rivers and inleis.
II thus appears that the oyster question is
not fully solved. If the fears now expressed
By dredgers and packers prove 10 he veal
founded, the output from the Chesapeake bids
vii fall considerably below ihst of recent
Years, and the truth will be fully impressed
shat more heroic efforts will have TO he put
forth to save the industry from determination.
The shortening OF the season and the benefits
OF the Gull law do not appear to have Proyidl
all The protection needed. There is possible
chance that the calamity bowler and oyster
output liar may have exaggerated the actual
condition Of affairs, and that the outlook is
not really so black as has been painted. The
light loads. however, brought up from the
first dredging are ominous. and there ia a well
grounded fear thai the reports may he correct.
The situation is by no means desperate.
There are oysters still in goodly numbers on
the bells, and she intelligence of the Teople of
Mar, land can be relied upon TO find out some
means TO revive the fisiline industry. II the
regulations now in force are not sufficient

tenn of oyster farming AS il is pursued IN other
