Work of the National Hatchery.

The July Vermonter contains an extreme
ly interesting article on the fish and
game Interests of the state written bv
Supt. Titcomb OF the National Hatchiry.
The article contains fine picture of the
writer and views at the state hatchery
at Roxbury and also of the national in.
stitution at St. Johnsbury. The length
OF the article torbds its entire reproduce.
ion in our columns, but we are sure our
our readers will be especially interested
in the closing paragraph about the
hatchery at St. Johnsbury
THE Vermont Fish and Game League
has always claimed the credit OF ind-
rectly awakening the first interest in the
support of state hatchery, and it was
through the interest thus awakened that
Congressman Grout was lead to obtain
the first appropriation for National
hatchery. 1t is located atSt. .Johnsbury,
and has capacity FOR about 100000
eggs OF the salmonide. The product of
this institution is distributed under the
direction of the United States fish com.
missioner at Washington. While YER
mont is especially favored in having a
national hatchery, it's product is not
confined to the state, or to New Eng.
land, but is shipped to state commissions
in the form of eye ova, or transported
direct to streams in various states by
means Of well equipped cars constructed
for the especial use of the Uuiied States
fish commission. While the state hatch.
cry obtains its supply of brook trout
eggs from adult fish retained in ponds at
the hatchery, and its lake trout eggs
from the United States fish commission,
the national hatchery at St. Johnsbury
obtains its supply Of eggs from the wild
trout, and has collecting stations at Gro
ton, Greensboro and other places. AL.
