HATCHERY ADVANTAGES

The Utah State Hatchery has pecu-
liar advantages possessed by few, the
principal advantage being the excep-
tioual purity Of the water and IT'S even
temperature the year round making Il
possible 20 utilize its full capacity two
N not three times each season.
The commissioner points out the
necessity Of amending the FISH and
game laws as many individuals take
advantage Of the weakness and embig-
uity Of the law. The most objection
able breach being the obstruction OF
the game fish under a pretense Of fish
ing for the common sort. The law
permitting the fishing OF the latter the
year round The commissioner recon-
meuds that a law be established pro-
hibiting the catching OF any kind OF
fish during certain seasons OF the year.
lie also suggests that the sale OF game
fish taken from public streams be pro-
hiblted. as the demand OF the market
for the best FISH Is the strongest in
centiyo for their wholesale slaughter.
Some states have already adopted thir
measure and Il Is having the desired
effect.
The commissioner complains thai
there is "a considerable loss OF fish IN the
irrigation canals. due TO the failure on
the part OF the farmers 10 put screens
over the mouth OF the bitches There
is q law providing FOR the placing Of
these screens but it Is lame one, az
the matter "a left 20 the discretion Of
the county commissioners OF their re-
spective counties. Iuasmuch as screens
require some work and care and are
therefore not popular with the farmers
In general. the commissioners have
never felt that IL was discreet 10 en-
force the law.
