Thursday marked the opening of the
oyster-catching season. Encouraging re-
ports come from the vicinity OF the oyster
beds. Word from Bridgeton, Nj, says
the oyster planters of the Maurice River
Cove are quite elated at the prospect for
the coming season, which promises to be
finer than for 10 years. An examination
of the beds has shown that in a majority
of instances the oysters are large, fiat and
healthy in appearance, and that rich
harvest is expected, which will probably
last until January.
