OUTLOOK FOR OYSTERS GOOD
Annapolis TOngers Declare Bivalves
Plentiful on Bars.
Highly Satisfied with Conditions
After Season Has Been Open
but One Week.


Special to The Washington Herald
Annapolis, Md. Sept S--The oyster
longing season has been open for one
week, and in that time the tongers. at
least those who have already taken out
their licenses. have had ample opportunity
to go over several of the bars and make
an inspection The tongers OF annapolis
and vicinity who have spent the week out
on the bars report that the indications are
for one of the most successful seasons
they have ever had.
The number OF tongers for the opening
of the season is, as usual. small. there be-
ing only g. 50 far who have secured their
licenses. bat this number will be greatly
swelled when the first cool spell sets In
and the demard for the luscious bivalve
becomes greater. Those who have al
ready been out state that the predictions
made BY them two years age have fully
materialized.
There has been a vast catch Of the spat
during the last few years and the num-
Der Of small oysters known to be on the
different bottoms have now reached a
marketable size. Particularly is there a
more prolific supply on the bars and
Jumps IN the vicinity Of Thomas Point
Lighthouse.
The local packing houses and buy
boats have been giving the tOngers S.
cents a bushel That Is a good price for
so early in the season. One longer boasts
OF the fact that on one day last week he
brought home 50 bushels and another day
s. bushels. In addition to himself. there
was In the boat one other man and a Gull
boy So at the prevailing price being paid
the catch Melted each Of the men some
thing like sl5 a day, after paying their
Gull boy. That Is considerably more than
the average tonger manages 20 get out Of
a days work.
In addition to the oysters being OF good
size, they are also fat for so early In
the season.
