used 200 09Q bushels, while in 1900 IN
business of these packers was 2bou,
200 600 bushels less in volume. The.
seems uo doubt at all that the oyst"i
beds Of the Chesapeake are being SLOW
ly but s0rely exhausted.
Thasa coupcnt to judge say that tn
oyster beds Of the Chesapeake are not
only capable Of yielding each year tho
seven millions Of bushels handled u

they may b. made to yield many times
that amount. 1t is estimated that TIC

Politics seems to have been an instru-

Perhaps no other industry has cor

ter has gone to nearly every city in the
land. and wherever il goes il leaves 2
warm gratiiled feeling for Maryland
Anart from the direct advantages
uhich would come from keeping ih'
oyster trade in full vigor. the indirect
advantage of advertising is worth =
mint Of money TO Maryland but II
the opinion of experts Is correct, TIE
wealth in the oyster beds Of the CheSa-
peake can be made a most imoortan'
element in the future prosperity of the
state. The adding Of $4,000 600 ycai
to the income of the state would make
Maryland one Of the richest common

States. Now that the season for oyster
catching has returned, and the season
for another session OF the state Legs

while for the business interests of Bal

". If there is n way Of preserving the
oyster beds of Maryland and of rem

should be lost in making that fact
plain to the people of the state. 1t
would then be impossible for individ-

to stand between Maryland and the ao-
vantages which would accrue to the
state from an enlightened management
