Sessions to Begin Next Month ut
Tampa. Fla.
Tampa Fla, Dec. 13.-The National
Fishery Congress, to be held under the
auspices Of the governor OF Florida and the
United States Fish Commission, will open
here on January 10. Delegates from for
eign powers, invited by the United States
Government, VIII participate.
The call for the congress, issued by Gov.
Bloxham last spring, requested the gov
ernors and the fishery commissioners of the
various States to appoint delegates to a
congress To consider ''the importaa,e ,e of
prOpagatiDg ar d protecting the fish in the
waters Of the United States, and the neces
sity Of devising means and formulating
methods to save from total extinction
many varities OF valuable food fish,"
Both the commercial fishes and the game
fishes Will be considered ny the congress
with a view t. getting legislation to protect
and multiply them, both In inland and
coastal waters. Artifi cial methods OF
propagation will, OF course, be prominent
topic, aud the United States Fish COmmis-
sion has rl omised to station one OF its YES
sells he re during the congress to give demon
strations OF the method OF Matching and IF
conducting deep-sea dredging.
For the benefit Of a man who fishes for
spoft flycaNing tournament will be held,
and there are few finer places in the
world for game fishing than the coast and
inland waters OF Florida, where the tarpon,
the red snapper, she pompano. the mullet,
the sheepshead. the Spanish mackerel, and
many other varieties of fish which delight
the angler abound.
One of the objects of the congress is
to form an International fishery associa-
ton to promote friendly relations and in
terchange Of ideas among those interested
III fishing and fish culture in various pa ITS
OF the woiId.
Another object is to awaken inventors
to the need OF a machine or process for
d: wing fish when taken from the water
50 that they may be baled for shipment as
cotton and tobacco now are. II is believed
that such Il process would be Of the greatest
benefit. as it would open up new fields
Of labor and at the same time furnish 4
new and cheaper source of food supply.
Incident ally frog and sponge culture
will be discussed. Already this count ~
consumes ten times as many frogs legs
as does France, and frog culture prom
fses 10 becoIne an important industry.
IL regard TO sponees Florida already
Produces some fine varieties, and 1t is
expected to increase the production very
much.
Two large buildings have been erected
for the congress an auditorium and an
exposition building. The congress will
sit for one week The exposition build
Ine will remain open until March 10 at
least.
DR. II. NJ. Smith, OF tue United States
