Here is Matter for the Ga me Wardens.
"A correspondent writes to the Baltimore
american as follows "Alow me to call the
attention of our game wardens to the hauling
of seines in the streams near Baltimore and
the Patapsco River. While visiting the shores
along Back River / was greatly surprised TO see
great numbers of dead fish lying along the
banks of the river. However. L made inquiry
and was told that the fish were killed in seine
hauling. am sure there were several thoUs-
ands of white and yellow perch strewn along
the shores. learned that the fishermen haul
their seines and allow the fish to remain on
the bank for an hour or two before the small
fish are thrown back into the river. During
this time many of the fish ie.and when thrown
into the water they are washed upon the shore.
l would suggest that the game wardens make
an investigation and punish the men who
are responsible for this condition. If the prac-
tice continues the white and yellow perch will
be exterminated. The reports last year recon-
mended that the waters of Maryland be repen-
ished with perch spawn tn
