GREATEST FISH YEAR In
QUARTER CENTURY,

Newport News Tines-Heraldl
Reports from all of the water-courses
In Tidewater Virginia are to the effect
that seldom if ever ha S there been such
run of shad and herring, while other
varieties of fish are becoming plentiful
as well.
Some say that about 25 years ago
there was a similar run, b, but there are
few who can recall any such great
catches as are being almost daily re-
ported.
Buckroe Beach has been simply
swamped with shad, and "fish-fiesh'' is
so common now that even the poorest
may have it three times day without
much outlay of money.
Elizabeth City county farmers have
been buying large quantities of fish re-
Gently as fertilizer.
Commissioner of Fisheries w. Nc
Donald Lee, who has been making an
inspection of the fish and oyster condi-
tions as they now exist, has just COM
pleted his tour on the Commodore Maui
ry. He inspected the oyster rocks in
these waters and the big fisheries at
the mouth of the YORK river.
Mr.. Lee says:
1T has been the greatest catch of
shad and herring in quarter of a CEN
fury. The sight is almost nauseating
if such could happen from seeing too
much of one thing. Thousands upon
thousands of shad are being hauled in
and in some instances the nets were
filled to the bursting point.
81 consider it good rebuttal of the
arguments and agitation of the past
few years against pound fishing with
out further restrictions. The historical
fishermen of Gaililee were never so for
tunate as the fishermen of Virginia
during the present season."
During the inspection of the James
river oyster bottoms it was found that
the strike" of new or embryonic oys-
tiers is the heaviest known. The only
element that will prevent these from
development will be a river freshet.
which would deposit layers of mud over
them and prevent maturing. The chance
of this is remote.

The Oysterman.
If there are $4,000 oysters to a ton.
it is estimated that there are 5000 tons
carried out of Carriers Creek in year.
so that amounts to liz, 900. 600 oysters
and each one is handled separately by
the cutler and then again by the shuclx-
er and then again by the person that
eats them. We haven't time to figure
further, but they are handled by the
longer, buyer, packer, &c.
On an action TO recover the difference
between the price received and the
market price, on account of delay in
the delivery in New York of ship
ment of shad Capt. j. E. Foster, of
Phoebus, got verdict of $6l66, the
amount sued for, against Adams Ex-
press Co. The verdict was received
with qualification by fishermen gener-
ally, for while the amount involved was
small. it is said that the trouble COM
planned of is a great annoyance to all
the shippers.

SOME FIRES.

Thursday of last week. Insurance in
the home company. Origin of fire
unknown.
Robt. Farinholt, of Freeport, Glou-
cester county, lost his barn by fire last
week. Fire originated from cigarette
stump a boy had thrown down. No
insurance.
w. H. Lawson, of Locklies, Middle
sex county, lost his two barns Saturday
by fire. which originated by Mr.. Lawson
stepping on a match which had been
dropped in some shucks on the floor. A
strong wind was blowing through the
building and the only thing possible to
be done was close the doors and get out
what contents were in reach. Loss be-
tween $500 and 500. with no insurance.

SCIENTISTS tell us that single
ny may carry as many as 6,000,-
900 bacteria on its person. Pos
slbly this accounts for the pro-
pensity on the part of flies TO stop
IN their walks, rub their legs one
against the other, as if scratching,
much as dog suddenly pauses
to use his hind foot for that pur-
pose. 1t is evident that these
multitudinous bacteria cause an
itching on the flies legs which is
soothed by the rubbing process.
All OF which recalls the verse of
the poet:
The greater fleas have lesser fieas,
And lesser still to bite 'em.
And these again have smaller yet,
And so ON ad infinitum".
And it is quite possible that
the very bacteria themselves
carry PARISHES that worry them.
We shall never get down to the
greater smallness of things.

FISH! FISH f! FISH!
Never Such a GIut Known TO vir.
Sinia.

A heavy blow now any night, with
running sea, would sweep the shores of
the Chesapeake almost clean of fish
nets, for they are diurnally weighted
down and clogged by the pesky herring.
Never has there been known such n
catch of shad and herring in the waters
of Virginia, and three thousand big nets
and as many boats and crews are work
ing day and night to gather in the crop.
Some of it is hardly worth the gath
ering, and many fishermen pray that
the run of herring would stop and give
chance to better fish getting into the
traps. Six of the biggest menhaden
fertilizer factories have started up in
order to utilize the surplus herring, and
they are running day and night to their
fullest capacity with dozen big steam
ers conveying the herring from the
traps. But for their premature open
ing the millions of surplus herring
would have to be turned overheard. to
drift ashore and become a stencil.

BOA D STEAMER.
Press Association Will Do
Business on a Mater Wagon.
!Riehmond Time ). pispatch.l


In no one spot viii ne Virginia e6i-
tors meet in annual session this year;
for it is planned to transact all the
business of the Virginia Press Associa-
ton on board boat steaming down
the James. So much was decided upon,
at least tentatively. at meeting of
the executive commit ee of the Associa-
ton held at Murphy's Hotel Monday.
The members present were A. q.
Williams, of Roanoke. president of the
association; j. l.. Hart, of Farmville,
the secretary; A. P. Rowe. of Freder-
icksburg; r. z. Barham, of Peters
burg and George o. Green, of Clifton
Forge.
The date for the annual affair is set
for July II, 13 and Ia. On the first
named day the editors. with their wives
and daughters, are 20 rendezvous in
Richmond, but it is rot intended that
any meetings shall BE- held here. The
sentiment of the committee was for a
boat trip, as stated, but a member of
the committee said later that this de-
ponds upon possible arrangements be-
tween the president end executive COM
mittee on the one hand, and upon the
city, the Chamber o. Commerce and
the James River transportation COM
panies, on the other.
1t is hoped that during the other two
days boat trip can be arranged up the
Rappahannock River.
1t was realized that it is extremely
important to recruit the membership of
the association up to a much higher
point than has been he case of late
years. 1t was felt tn 1t bringing all the
newspaper men of the State into touch
in these meetings is for the advantage
of the craft and of the State. To this
end committee was appointed to can
vass the various congressional districts
for new members. The committee is
composed as follows:
First District, w. Mcdonald Lee, of
Irvington; Second, ]. Harvey Wilson,
of Norfolk; Third, Rev. R. H. Pitt,
ID. D., of Richmond; Fourth, r. p. Bar
ham, of Petersburg; Fifth, R. A.

son, of Lynchburg; Seventh. ]. H.

The worlds record-breaking broom
corn price is 1927. SO ton. This price
was paid recently in Texhoma by j. G..
Cox. of Cimarron county. to John Rob-
ertson. of near Texhoma, Okla. Robert
sons entire crop was purchased at this
figure.
One cause of the exceedingly high
prices paid this year was an agreement
among farmers to hold their product for
a late market. This caused factories to
suffer. and they sent men into the broom
corn fields to buy direct.
This was in opposition to the middle
men buyers of the towns. and lively
contest arose. during which the price of
the product continued to go higher and

1T WAS EVER THUS.

The Maryland oyster industry
again ''gets it in the neck" from
the hands of it's legislature. AS
we have said before, Virginia,
viewing it from a selfish and
business standpoint, cannot be
sorry, for SO long as our sister
State keeps behind in progressive
oyster legislation it helps our
own industry. 1t seems harder
Tor water States to handle the
oyster question than any other
subject. Virginia is not where
she should be in legislation and
administration, but we are far
and away ahead of any other
southern State on this point.
But when Maryland and Louisi-
aha once wake up, wewill fall into
the middle column, whereas we
are now at the top. If personal
animus, political intrigue and
ignorant prejudice could be swept
aside we could rise to astounding
heights, and every man directly
or indirectly dependent upon the
oyster business be wonderfully
bettered. But it is expecting too
much for these ingredients of hui
man nature to suppressed, and
the public spirited citizen and
official must struggle along as
best he can against these fierce
odds.
Maryland, like Virginia, must
suffer the loss of the great work
done by the United States au-
thorities of late. Louisiana, how
ever, is more far-sighted; is receiv-
ing and profiting by Federal
brain and money.
