To Establish Fishery.

Des Arc.-M. F. Stapleton, superin-
tendent of the government fishery at
Mammoth Spring, has decided to rec
ommend to the government the es-
tablshment of fishery at Des Arc.
Other states have several of these
fish farms owned and controlled by
the government in order 10 raise fish
for distribution 10 streams where the
natural supply has been destroyed or
greatly decreased. Arkansas has only
one of these Institutions. which is
located at Mammoth Sprng. One
fishery cannot furnish sufficient guam
titles of fish to restock all the rivers
and lakes in Arkansas. where the
natural supply has been depleted by
the use of dynamite and illegal nets.
For this reason Superintendent staple
ton has decided TO recommend to Con-
gress that a fishery be established at
Dcs Arc.
