Cannot Get Fish.

The water in the ponds and sloughs
along the Mississippi has been SO high
this fall that the superintendent of
the Willowbrooke state fish hatchery,
below Indian Mounds Park, has been
unable to obtain the usual supply of
bass and croppy fry.
These fish are not propagated at the
hatchery and for many years the hatch
cry employees have obtained the supply
needed to stock lakes and streams,
from the river. The small fish are
caught in seines, taken to the hatchery
and sent out from there in immense
cans to the different points where
needed.
Usually the hight of the water
has not interfered with the work.
This fall the river stage has been un-
usually heigh, and the places where the
little fish are usually caught are flood
