SAW LARGE TROUT
IN ALkALl LAKE

DIR. j. V. Delaney believes there is
less danger to fish in the draining OF
the lake near Rock River than people
are inclined to believe. He says he
saw trout fully three feet long, and if
the water is as strongly salt as some
people think, fish could not live there.
His theory is that the alkali water IS
due to the seepage from irrigation
and not to the water in the lake, and
that the fish avaided the seepage water
and remain in the fresh.
