NO MEAT-EAT OYSTERS.

Along the line of q recent edi-
torial in these columns urging
the public to turn to oyster eat
ing In these days of high prices
Tor meats the Baltimore Ameri-
can has this, among other things.
to say about the subject:
''In the vast stretches of the Chesa-
peake Bay is found the answer to the
difficulty that confronts the laborinc
people of America today.
'The one wholesome, strengthening.
cheap substitute for meats is the oyster.
For years the people of America have
looked upon this bivalve as a luxury.
1t may have been in the days when
meat was selling for 10 cents a pound,
but now there can be no denial that it
ceases to be luxury when pork and
beef are between 20 and 80 cents a
pound. Oysters can be bought upon
the market in this city at 80 cents a
quart for the standards and 40 cents for
the selects. There are two and a quar-
ter pounds Of oysters in each quart.
For standard oysters at so cents a
quart the price per pound would be but
1St cents. For select oysters at 90
cents quart the price by the pound
Is less than Is cents.
"Now. here is an important consid-
Grafton in the substitution of oysters
for the high-priced meats-there is nc
waste In oysters. The figures quoted
above are for solid oysters at retail
prices. In buying meats bone and
gristle have to be thrown away, in
vegetables there is a waste, in fruits
the skin or cores cannot be used. In
oysters, on the other hand, there is
nothing that the purchaser loses. All
of the oyster goes into food that is
strengthening and healthful.
In the next place there is no trust
to control the price. The oysters are
sold at their actual value. There is no
storing of them away to await the
demand. They are marketed as fast
as gathered. The supply is practically
unlimited. or can be made so If the
recommendations of the State SheIlfish
Commission are enacted into law"

A FINE and jail sentence for A.
A. Yoder, the interloper that

OUR friend ofthe Warsaw News
may believe because it wants to
the Newport News Press, or any
other unfriendly to Commissioner
Lee and Secretary Matthews, that
The latter want to break the
Baylor Survey, and place these
officials in a false light by sugar
coated, suave phrases, but the
facts and the record do not bear
them out. Strange, indeed, that
they should be such bed-fellows
now, when for the past two years
the Chamber of Commerce and
press of Newport News were cod
ding Mr.. Armstrong in his attack
on the Baylor Survey and upon
the Commission of Fisheries. The
truth of the matteris that the eff
forts of the Commission to estab-
llsh linesin the James where none
exist does not suit these big
planters. The encroaching PLAN
ter is the man who would be
driven back and the tonger let i'm

deprived of. Get the records

Here in two sessions was an appropria-
ton of $50, 900. mainly to protect the
longing grounds from dredgers, in ad-
dition to all the revenues from licenses
which the State received from the
oyster wealth of the Chesapeake and
its tributaries.
The entire cost of supporting the
oyster navy, maintained almost exclu-
slvely for the benefit of the tongers, is
between $50. 900 and $50, 600 year. The
natural oyster beds of the State are
among its richest and most valuable
possessions. and yet they contribute
not one dollar to the support of the
State government. On the contrary.
every taxpayer in the State is levied
upon IN order to pay for the protection
Of the beds.
The members of the Legislature from
the Underwater counties are always ready
to vote money out of the Treasury for
the oyster fund. But when it comes to
voting $S1, 729 for the support of the
Commission, which was created
for the benefit of the whole State, then
'ur tidewater friends become economical
and want to repeal the law. They are
at the cost of the survey. In
point of fact. that survey was made at
cost of &c cents on the dollar, for one
third OF the cost was paid by the United
States. The survey is declared by those
