FAMINE IN SEA FOOD DUE.
Belief that the Supply of Edible Fish
VIII Soon BE Exhausted.

Belief that the Supply of Edible Fish
VIII Soon BE Exhausted.
The marvellous increase in the facili-
ties for distribution has widened the
field and enormously increased the de-
mand for the food products Of the sea.
Fresh oysters, clans, Holsters. shad,
rockfish and mackerel from the Allan
tic coast; oysters, crabs, shrlmps 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 Territory OF 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 destination as fresh and
sweet as when taken from the Column
bla or the icy waters of Alaska.
To expect unaided nature to keen
pace with the ever-increasing demand
for aquatic products is as unreason-
able as it would be TO expect the I'M
cultivated land to meet the demand for
grains and fruits and the butchers
| food.
Cultivation OF the coastal and in
terror waters is as possible and imper-
alive 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 superAc,aT
area OF sts bottom. The time will sure
ly come when the oyster harvest OF
Chesapeake Bay each year will be
fully equal TO the total harvest OF the
last fifty years.
Oyster culture and fish culture are
still in their infancy. and l am con-
WINGED that the time is not far distant
when, through fish cultural operations
the annual catch OF each of many OF
our important food fishes, particularly
the shad on the Pacific coast and I'm
Alaska, will be many times greater
than 1t has been in the past.-Nation.

Some time ago, firing of his lonely

his humble cabin with him, he sought
a wife through a matrimonial agency.

Salmon coach, was led the three miles

At first when Hurd spread the state

The Russian army organ publishes
official statistics of Field Marshal Oya-
