Herring in Great Abundance. Reports
from White Marsh, Baltimore county, state
1w1a nE q
of Bird river. is literally teeming with herring.
Tons of the fish have already been caught Dy
the residents in that section and the farmers
round about are busy sailing down their eaten.
The run of herring from deep water to tne
shallow streams comprising the head waters OF
the rivers emptying into the upper bay began
two weeks ago, and since that time these
streams have been alive with the fish. The
greatest run has been up at White Marsh,
which empties into Bird river about two miles
from Convention, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and has its source several miles back
in the country. The stream is not more than
25 feet wide at its widest point, and its greatest
depth is estimated at not more than hve feet.
At some points the stream shadows to depth
of q few inches, and can be easily fOrded at all
times The run of herring up the stream is due
to popularity of that fish in that it always
seeks fresh water in which to depOsitits spawn.
Every year the run begins about the same time
and it is a season always looked forward to by
the IaTIU6TS LuIOuSu WuOSc pldCCo tnC 0LuulA
fresh waterways pass.
When the run up White Marsh began this
year the residents for miles around journeyed
to the banks of the stream and in short while
herring were being carted away by the wagon
load.
In catching the fish every contrivance from
an ordinary crab net to a willow basket is used
and those who witnessed the great run say the
sport was fine All that was necessary to be
successful was to find deep hole or pocket
and then proceed to dip out the hsh. The run
last week continued for several days. and in
that time it is said that tons of herring were
taken from White Marsh run alone After
spawning the fish that escape the nets drop
back to deep water.
Easy to Get Rid of Moths.-Many house
keepers are complaining that moths are more
than usually numerous this spring, and they
fear that this presages an abnormal bug crop
throughout the coming summer.
Prof Philip r. Uhler, of Baltimore, was
asked if there had been anything in recent
weather conditions to cause moths to be SO
plentiful.
1.-THE weather." said he, 'has been just the
sort to make moths develop. Whatever makes
vegetation flourish will make moths flourish.
If spring is early, SO are the moths. SO, this
season has been good for them
"Moths breed twice year-spring and fall.
Ordinarily the eggs laid in the fall hatch in the
spring, and those laid in the spring hatch in
the fall. The moth usually lives about six
months.
should be troubled by moths. There ought
not to be a moth in Baltimore. 1t is easy to
get rid of them. Take per cent. solution of
formaldehyde, close the room, and spray every
thing in it thoroughly with the solution. 1t
will not iniure the finest fabrics. Close the
room tight and let it remain closed for three or
four hours. Every moth will be dead and so
will every moth egg. The cost is small and
the remedy simple, though very few people
know of it,
through the open windows, and the trouble is
that they are seldom discovered until they have
"Formaldehyde will kill fleas or any other
insect just as easily as moths and there is no
danger in its use."
AS to the crop of other bugs, Professor Uhler
would make no predictions, saying that bugs
are of so many species that conditions benefit
cial to one species are harmful to another.
