To survey all oyster bar with an indef
mite depth of water is done by dragging
a long chain on the bottom. so that when
it strikes oyster shells it will send up vi
brations. For instance, scattered shells
give notice that the end of the beds near
and closely packed shells mean that there
are plenty of bivalves which do not come
in the care of the commission.
Following Mr. Earle's boat is another
one carrying DR.. Grave. Whenever Mr.
Earle comes to a particularly dense spot
in the bed be marksit with a flag. From
this some oysters are tonged and sorted
according to size The best go to the
laboratory of DR.. Grave and the charac-
ter of their food is noted. Just how
much current and how much lood for the
oyster flows over each bed will be a mat
ter of record in the office of the commits
sion. This makes the appointment of
DR.. Grave invaluable to those who have
interests in the oyster business.
The work of the commission has created
much sentiment in favor of the new law
Where there has been opposition, the
members have so far been successful in
it away, and it is believed
that when once in successful operationits
value will then be regarded as almost
priceless by everybody.

WORK OF SHELLFlSH COMMISSION.

Mr. Swepson Earle, engineer of the
Shellfsh Commission, states that the
work of surveying Anne Arundel county
has been practically completed and the
cultivation of oysters can be commenced
by the first of April, the time provided
for by law Under what's known as the
fve-acre law a great many persons have
taken up tracts for cultivation and the
staff of the commission has lately been
sorely taxed in order to keepup with the
work Mr.. Earle and his force were de-
layed for month in the beginning by the
inability of the government engineers to
assist. Since that time much better pro.
gress has been made than expected, and
the whole area now plated is greater
than the combined cultivated beds in the
state of Connecticut. This will probably
give some idea of the amount of hare
work that has been done since things he
gan to get under way.
Mr.. Earle says that there has been nj
trouble in finding natural beds, and thai
in Anne Arundel county alone over two
hundred have been located, of which
there was little knowledge and mad
available for use.
