accompanied to L. ]. Johnson's trout
ponds in " est Brattleboro in the after
noon by President George w. Pierce and
Secretary Robert c. Bacon. An appropri-
alton of $4,000 for another fish culture
station in Vermont has been made re-
Gently by the government, and the
county association hoped to induce Mr..
Titcomb to buy Mr. Johnson's preserve
for that purpose, but Mr. Titcomb gave
no encouragement. He said he purposed
to establish a station which would raise

sufficient to meet the requirements OF
such a station. He appeared to be much
pleased with the appearance of Mr..
Johnson's trout, regarding them as fine
and healthy. Before leaving Friday
