Change DISTRIBUTING Law.

IL is probable that a measure will he
introduced at this session of the Legisla-
ture exempting from the provisions OF
the fishery and oyster laws the territory
OF the upper Potomac insofar as the Gull
ing OF oysters Is concerned. The proposed
measure will provide that oysters under
the prescribed dimensions shall be taken
from such territory for planting purposes
only. and in justification of such law
Il will be argued that the bivalve does
not attain large size with maturity in the
comparatively fresh water of the upper
Potomac. and that no good purpose is
served by the present law, under the ope-
ration Of which the smaller oysters must
bs thrown back into the water when they
are drcdged by the ovstermcn. For plant
ing purposes the snail oyster Is as good
as the large one.
