An Ignorant Presidential Candidate.

Louis, he would have learned what he

FAMINE IN SEA FOOD DUE.
Belief That Supply Of Edible Fish
Will Soon Be Exhausted.

The marvellous increase in the IA
cilities for distribution has widened
the field and enormously increased the
demand for the food products of the
sea for May. Fresh oysters, clans,
Holsters, shad, rackfish and mackerel
from the Atlantic coast; oysters.
crabs, shrimps and red snappers from
the gulf coast, and lake trout, pike
perch and whitefish from the great
lakes, now find their way daily in
their season into every state and ter
ritory in the Union; while the Pacific
coast and Alaska send fresh halibut
steelhead trout and royal Chinook
salmon all over the United States and
to Europe, the fish reaching their des-
tination as fresh and sweet as when
waters of Alaska.
To expect unaided nature to keep
pace with the ever-increasing demand
for aquatic products is as unreason-
able as it would be to expect the un-
cultured land to meet the demand for
grains and fruits and the butchers
food.
Cultivation of the coastal and inte-
rior waters is as possible and impera-
tive as is cultivation of the land, and
promises quite as rich returns. An
acre of water can be made even more
productive than an acre of land. On
land the producing area is a surface.
but the total producing area OF body
of water is many times the super
fetal area Of its bottom. The time
will surely come when the oyster har-
vest Of Chesapeake bay each year will
be fully equal to the total harvest of
the last fifty years.-National Geo
