that work will commence this year
about the 10th TO Goth of April.
1t will probably be of interest To the
reader to know something more about
this work and why tits done. To begin
with. if the shad does not get an oppor-
tunity to lay her eggs there will be no
young shad Matched and soon the spe-
cies will be no more. Well, every time
a fisherman captures roe shad he de
stroys from 25. 900 TO $1,000 shad eggs
which if Matched out would result in as
many young shad. Again, if the shad
has an opportunity to deposit her eggs
the chances are about even that the
numerous haul seins will destroy them
by covering them with mud. or the cat
fish. eels. mullets and other suckers will
destroy the eggs before they have an
opportunity TO hatch. Ii is good thing
that the shad contains so many eggs for
as we have shown there is little chance
for them with SO many enemies at hand
to destroy them. Artificial propagation
insures the salvation of many shad. On
the Eastern Shore the crews of the
State hatcheries go out OH every fishing

one of til ose cases where necessity was
the mother of invention. and that it
was in use before Columbus landed in
America is established by the fact that
mention is made of the Indians cooking
the fish upon logs OH the banks of the
river" They had no broilers OF frying
pans, and since they could not eat raw
shad it is a self evident proposition they
must have cooked it upon logs before
the fire. for the oily nature of the shad
would have have burned and smoked if
it was suspended over the fire. 1t is
fair to argue that planked shad was the
first way shad was cooked, and it is now
becoming the most sensible. easiest and
best way to prepare fish for the table.
