1t is estimated that every square mile

1t is estimated that every square mile
of the ocean has a population of
120, 000,0 600 fish. And yet ''they say"
that our food fishes are gradually be-
coming extinct. This may be true in
certain localities, where mans advent
has made it obnoxious to some timid
species, but the time will never come
when the earth will be peopled suffici-
emily to cause an appreciate decrease
in fishes. Nature now has to destroy
or prevent the birth of myriads in order
to keep the supply to the limit she has
provided sustenance for, and mans in
roads are mot as drop in the bucket"
TO the whole. Virginia Citizen.
And the alert Norfolk Landmark
asks "llow about oysters?" The
statement will not hold good with
respect to the bivalve, we con-
TESS, chiefly for the reason that
the oyster is sedentary in the ex-
treme. Where he makes his bed
be must lie until man, or some
other animal, disturbs him. When
discovered, he h2s no show for his
life. Not even the infant ones are
secure from some marauders' hands,
nor are the shells on which he loves
to make his bed. For this reason,
aud others, he must be protected by
law. Fish have chance to get away,
especially the little ones, as rule.
Another great difference is that the
boundless ocean is an Incubator,
field and stalking ground for fishes.
Some meyer become common to mans
vision. The edible oysters habitat
is exceedingly restricted. Except in
a few places, like rare portions of the
Chesapeake Bay section, the oyster
exists only in shallow water. 1t may
be surprise to many to learn that
on our ocean side the oyster is not
found at a depth of ten feet and
seldom at half that. The spawn
ebbs and flows with the tide, and
seaside oysters are propagated chiefly
above the low tidal mark. The best
beds there are those that ebb dry,
and most of the stock is gathered
with the fingers or small rakes.
There is danger of extinction to the
natural growth oyster, as Virginians
have learned by dear experience, if
not rigidiy protected by law.

The scarcity of labor in MARYLAND
and other packing houses is caused
principally by the demands of the

captains have hired every available
coiored man, as they are unable to get
white crews. The tramp element has
not turned up this season. A number
OF idle boats are in the different ports.
all fitted up and licensed but no crews.
Stock will soon be as scarce as before
the dredging commenced.
Governor Warfield, reports a talk
with Commander T. C. B. Howard. of
the State fishery force of Maryland,
regarding the oyster situation. Cap
tain Howard told him that never before
has he seen nor heard of so many seed
oysters and small bivalves as are scat
tered about various sections of Chesa-
peake Bay this season. In view of
this, he said next year there should be
a great abundance of oysters. Captain
Howard says the Potomac river bottoms
are thick with seed oysters. While the
tongers are having only moderately
good season. Owing to enforcement of
the Gull law large oysters are being
caught in scattered quantities.
