The Fish Commission seems to be suo-
ceeding very we'll in filing the waste places
Of the waters with fish. The results Of
transplanting the shad and striped bass
OF the Atlantic coast along our Pacific coast
have been especially remarkable. Years
ago these fish we're sent to the Pacific, where
they were not indigenous. The experiment
was on a small scale and cost only IS 900,
but the shad and bass have 80 fourished
and multiplied that they now rank among
the leading food fish of the Pacific States
and in some places they are believed to be
more numerous than at any point along
the Atlantic coast.
This experiment, costing S., 900. resulted
up TO the end of 1902 in the catching of 49,
800 GOO pounds Of fish. worth s87O,O 1t is
a blessing as the world becomes more
crowded. that the ingenuity of man finds
new ways Of augmenting the food supply.

The conclusion OF the matter seems to I've
that where an electric road parallels steam
road for thirty or forty miles the traffic
will GO to the electric. For longer distances
the advantage at present is with the steam
road. On the other hand the steam road
is decided gamer where the electric runs
divergently from its route. The electric
then becomes a feeder to the steam road
by bringing to it the traffic of the back
country.

The pension bureau at Washington
has been receiving many inquiries
asking whether the statute books con-
tain a law providing for the reim-
bursement of those who paid money
as an exemption from draft into the
army during the civil war. No such
law of course exists and it is very I'M
likely ever will. That the govern
ment should be expected to reimburse
those who from cowardice or other
personal reasons evaded the draft by
furnishing money is a proposition
most preposterous--a proposition
which the people would never permit
to be entertained. Most of these men
paid $500 apiece to the town in which
they lived to secure this exemption
from draft and the towns added 5000
to make the amount sufficient to pay
substitute. Far better would it be to
pension the southerners who fought
gallantly against US than to reimburse
the stay at-homes northerners who re-
fused to fight for US.

Theodore, P. &ShOnts, chairman of
the Panama commission, in an ad-
dress at Washington last week, said
in substance and in part that there is
an Industrious band of hired Anani-
ases-paid by concerns which fear
competition when the canal is in oper-
ation-who are issuing from their
bureaus of publicity alleged newspa-
per interviews purporting to show
the frightful conditions existing upon
the isthmus: ''The canal will be
built" said Mr.. Shonts, land it will
be built at Panama. It will be a
Roosevelt canal-the president will
build it with his big stick.'' Mr.:
Shonts averred that the canal zone is
now in splendid sanitary condition,
that the climate is .~healthful. that
there is an abundant supply of pure
water q 81 from mountain springs and that
the employees of the two classes
laborers and skilled artesans-are
being fed upon good food at 80 and
80 cents per day per man respectively.
There is no treason whatsoever to
doubt Mr.. shonts' statement, and
consequently the alleged interviews
published in the Chicago and other
papers decrying the conditions exist
ing upon the isthmus should be taken
With q big handful 81 salt.

Corn Average.

The crop reporting board of the
bureau of statistics of the department.
Of agriculture finds from the reports
of the correspondents and agents of
the bureau as follows:
The preliminary returns on the
production of corn in 1905 indicate
a total yield of about 2,707, 993, $40
bushels, or an average of 3S.S bushels
an acre, as compared with an average
yield of 26.S bushels as finally esti-
mated in 1904, 25.5 bushels in 1908.
and a ten-year average of 249 bush
els.
The general average as to quality is
9O.6 per cent, as compared with 8S.2
last year, 83.1 in 1903 and SO.7 in 1902.
It is estimated that about 3.3 per cent
of the corn crop of 1904 was still in the
hands of farmers on Nov. l, 1905, as
compared with 3.6 per cent of the
crop of 1908 in farmers hands on
Nov. l, 1904; 5.2 per cent Of the crop
of 1902 in farmers hands on Nov. l,
1908, and 10 per cent of the crop of

A man named Munthe Of Bessemer,

us that the storthing, being; cognizant

Small! Apple Crop.

The final statistics of the apple crop
Of the country show total for the
country this year of %, 495, 900 bar
rels, as against IS, $780, barrels
last year, 100000 in 1908 and 49,
$751; 900 in 1902. The yield in New
England was 2,24O,O00 barrels, as
against 4,770,000 last year; in the
central states S,650,oo0, as against
10, 100000 in the middle west, $780,
600, as against 5.397, 900; in the far
west, 2,195,000, as against 5,397, 900:
and in the southern states $500, 900,
as against 8,735, 900.
The crop in New York state this
year was only 100000 barrels, as
against 100000 last year. At Lyons,
where 100000 barrels are the general
output, scarcely 10000 barrels have
been harvested, and $3.50 to So. Is has
been paid for ordinary winter fruit
with as high as So for fancy Kings.
At CASTLE, however, the crop was
heavier than had been expected, some
orchards yielding two or three times
the estimated amount. ~ ..:,
The total amount of apples in store
on December first last year was esti-
mated by the Shippers association at
3, 935, 405 barrels, a total probably be-
low the actual figures. It is believed
that the amount of apples in storage
on December first next will not ex-
coed 100000. Prices are so high in
the home markets that the exports of
apples are not liberal.

You should know, and likely do,
that the drainage of Indian lands is
an entirely distinct proposition from
the drainage of Minnesota state lands.
Whether the Indian lands will be
drained or not depends upon the de-
cision of the federal government, while
the drainage of Minnesota swamp
lands depends entirely upon the peo-
pie of the state. State swamp lands
are lands obtained from the govern
ment upon contract to drain and
place m condition for agricultural
purposes and should not be- con-
founded with lands of like nature
owned by private individuals or with
the government Indian lands.

THERE is no question now as to
the final success of the Milford and
Philadelphia Transportation Com
pany of Milford, and that its plans
to operate a steamboat between here
and the port of Philadelphia will
be carried out on the lines proposed,
which will directly and indirectly
bring many thousands of dollars
into the pockets of the farmers of
this section of Delaware. The stock
for the boat has all been subscribed
and the contract awarded, but the
wharf site and buildings are yet
to be provided. This will require
several thousand dollars more Of
stock, and since one third of the
whole amount has been taken this
week by local capital, there will be
no difficulty in securing the balance.
Only a small amount of this stock
is now for sale, and we hope to see
it all taken by the farmers of this
section.

THE Maryland oystermen have
formed a trade organization for the
purpose of looking after their inter
ests, and purpose having it made a
permanent association of oyster
men for their several interests and
benefit of the oyster industries.
Here in Delaware the oyster ques-
ton has been the shuttle cock of
personal interest for the past fifty
years, and between the mOnied in
terests of oyster planters in New
Jersey and the narrow views of
home people, the oyster laws of
Delaware are neither protecting the
oyster interests, or causing the
planting of oysters in Delaware
waters to increase. The natural
beds are robbed each year by the
Oystermen themselves and sold to
planters who take the plants to
New Jersey. Occasionally there
is a tOnger who cries out against
the injustice and crime, but even
they refuse to give evidence to con-
vict the guilty parties, for the rea-
son that they fear that their boats
and shanties will be destroyed.
This is pretty state of affairs, and
right in the very oldest state in the
Union. The Governor will aid in
bringing about a reform; but the
work can be only accomplished by
the oystermen themselves joining
and giving the necessary aid and
information.
