FISH AND eYsTEP NOTES.

Dredging season closed Tuesday of
this week. longing season will end
the 31st of this month.
Garner Bros, of Adelina, Md,
brought to the Sun Office yesterday an
oyster which measured IL inches in
length and inches in breadth. 1t was
taken from the firms oyster beds in
the Patuxent river. Baltimore Sun.
In the opinion of the Norfolk Land
mark, the Baylor Survey is really al
most a myth, and our contemporary is
convinced that without Strengthening
of the lines as suggested by the United
States and the State Fish Commissions,
the situation means the encouragement
of the poacher and the continued depre-
citation of the States resources. And
that is the whole question in an oyster
shell. - Richmond Virginian.
LAST WORD ON JAMES RIVER BILL.
The Board of Fisheries has made
another report. In this particular re-
port Mr.. Lee announces that SIS. 035. rs
will revert to the State, while the total
expenditures for the last FIVE months
were $19, 062.27. The collections were
about $40, 900 in excess of the collections
made last season. On the strength of
this, Mr.. Lee declares the season to
have been successful, both for the in
dividual tongers and planters and for
the Commonwealth.
This is very well, also, and we have
no objection to it. If the catch was
better than in 10000. no one rejoices
more than we do. and no one will be
quicker to give credit for the work done
by the Board and its chairman. This
does not mean, however, that we con-
slider that the oyster industry is on q
good footing. If the season was good,
and Mr.. Lee says it vast was
good because nature was bountiful anc
the oyster navy was vigilant. The season
was not good because Of anything that
the State has done to foster the oyster
industry or to save it from ultimatl
wreck.
We give credit to Mr.. Lee and return
thanks to nature, but we maintain that
the Assembly went directly against the
experience of other States, the advice
of experts and ths logic of actual con,
ditions in allowing the Baylor Survey
to stand for two more years. The great
shell fish industry of the State will
certainly suffer by the Assembly.
failure to take proper action.
1t is useless to cry over split milk anC
it is useless to bewail what the Assem-
bly, failed to do. except to register oul
disapproval of the Assembly's actor
on this point.

MANLY MAN AND PAPER.

Hurrah for "Bill" Rhea, We
said he would make good, and
measure up to every situation
confronting him. The papers
which scored Governor Swanson
for appointing him, and Judge
Mann for backing him, have with
one consent agreed to Tess up,
and say there was no mistake
made. The last of the bitterest,
the Richmond Journal, comment
ing upon Judge Rhea's prompt
and manly support OF Henry c.
Stuart for Congress, has this to
say:
The Journal thinks the time has come
when there should be an end forever of
the fractional differences that grew out
of the legislative investigation of the
l9OO-1902 congressional elections in the
Ninth District.
Judge Rhea himself has set the ex-
ample in dignified, broad-minded state
ment published today in relation to the
nomination of Mr.. Stuart. That state
ment appears in the news columns, but
that it may be emphasized we repro
duce it in this column:
Il have for months urged my friends
in the Ninth District TO insist on Mr..
Stuart's accepting the nomination. not
because personally preferred him, but
because / considered him the logical
candidate. / knew he was amply able
to conduct successful campaign. and
my anxiety to redeem that great dis
trict from the control of the Republi-
cans led me to sink any personal con-
siderations and advocate MIR. Stuart's
nomination. / believe we can win, and
L sincerely trust Mr.. Stuart will be
elected to Congress, and he shall GER
tainly have my hearty support to that
end"
The spirit of this statement does credit
to its author, and presents him in a
most favorable light.
AS one who consistently protested
against methods practiced. or alleged
to have been practiced, in certain cleo
tons in the Ninth, and who was arrayed
against Judge Rhea, the Journal feels
1T due itself to say that Judge Rhea's
attitude in reference to the Stuart NOM
nation could be possible only in one
who, whatever his record in the dan
gerous field of political strife, is essen
tally man.

He wasn't an Anglicized Chinaman, either. He wore queue, slouch hat, baggy blue blouse and trousers and turned up slip pers, just as Chinesey as he could be. but if he had been dressed for q ball he couldn't have taken greater pains with himself.

which had not been completed when adjournment was taken. It early be. come manifest that the greatest fight in the house is to be made against any tampering with the sheman anti. trust law that may impair it's effective ness and scope. Democrats and Re. publicans joined in flood of questions designed to demonstrate in what particulars the new bill conflicted with provisions of the sherman act.
 Railroads May Make Agreements.
 This was evidenced while Chairman Mann of the house committee on inter state and foreign commerce, which reported the bill was explaining the section giving railroads the right to enter into agreements as to rates but not for pooling of traffic or re- ceipts. Mir. Mann explained that the railroads made such agreements at the present time, but there was doubt as to their lawfulness under the Sher man act He desired to iegalize the agreements by requiring that shippers may be heard and the filing of the agreement with the interstate com. merce commission.
 No Antitrust Act Repeal.
 Instantly there were demands from both Republicans and Democrats If this was not repeal of sections of the antitrust act, with declarations that no such repeal be accepted. MT Mann said the purpose of the com. mittee was to exempt those agree ments by railroads from provisions of the sherman act, that there was no repeal of any portion of the Sherman act: and that there was no obligation on the interstate commerce commis- sion to accept the rates as reasonable as carried In the agreement. He ex- plained that the committee was op posed to legalizing pooling agree ments, which consisted in divisions of freight in bulk or receipts from freight handled as destructive of com peution.

WILEY ON STORAGE
NINE MONTHS LONG ENOUGH FOR ALL PURPOSES, SAYS GOV
 EMINENT CHEMIST.
NO EXCUSE FOR LONG PERIODS
All Articles of Food Deteriorate While in Cold Storage-Length of Time Should Be Limited by Federal Law, Says the Expert.

Washington, April 15.-Nlne months should be the cold storage limit for any article of food. according to Prof. Wiley. chief of the bureau of chem istry. agricultural department. Sena- tor Lodge, from the senate committee investigating the Increased cost of food products, submitted to the sen ate report on cold storage and its effects by Dr. Wiley. It was very voluminous and dealt with the subject in detail. the conclusion of the ex. pert being based upon investigations conducted by his experts. Cold stor- age, he says. is justified by two legiti- mate reasons. Many products are not suitable for consumption at the time of production and are improved by keeping them a reasonable time, and others are kept in fit condition by the agency of cold storage until they can be put before the consumer.
 Storage Is Legitimate.
 Storage" says the report, lis a legitimate exercise of the activities of food distribution. It Is practiced for the purpose of bringing fresh articles to market in the best possible condi tion. The marketing of fresh vege tables, fish, milk, butter, eggs, poul- try, etc, is an Illustration of the prop CT exercise of storage in order to ob tain delivery of the goods, especially In warm weather, in a suitable condi- ton for consumption
 The report points out that none of these articles improve in storage, but on the contrary, that storage permits q certain degree of deterioration. The use of cold storage in taking up the surplus product when the supply ex- ceeds the demand. is approved, pro vided the period of detention in stor- age is not so great as to cause appre- ciable deterioration. That such stor age causes an increase in the cost of the foods, is admitted.
 No Excuse for Long Periods.
 "The legitimate conclusion from the facts sus mitted," says Dr. Wiley, lis that in such cases the time of storage should be as limited as possible to ob- tain the desired results Apparently there can be no excuse for detaining any article of food In cold storage for a longer period than nine months. while in most instances, much shorter periods are possible and adviseable Whenever cold storage has been con tirued long enough to interfere with the output of next seasons crop, it has been carried to point beyond the limits of reasonable economy and certainly beyond the limits of practi- col hygiene.
