BAD CROP

WASHINGTON, ID. C.. Oct, IL
This has been an exceptionally bad
crop year in West Virginia. The
Bureau OF Statistics OF the Depart

a general review Of crops on octo-
her l. The general crop condition
Iof Ahe United States Is reported as
S6.7 per cent of the average c6ndi-
ton on that date. while the condi-
ton in West Virginia is given as
I7s.7 per cent=of the average for the

But five states in the Union show
a smaller percentage OF the average
condition than West Virginia. They
arc Minnesota 77.9, Kansas SIS.
Nebraska SO g. oklahoma 1851, and

BAIT FOR sARDINEs.
Bretons Coax the Tiny Fish With
Sailed Eggs Of the Cod.

Sailed Eggs Of the Cod.
Sardine fishing forms the chief in
| dustry of Brittany. In an average
season the Brittany sardine fisher
men catch l00.0OO,000 to 150,000000
pounds of sardines. for which they.
receive anything from 100000 to
100000, while the shore industries. de-
pendent upon this fishery give en-
ployment to 10000 other persons, most
ly women and girls SO important is
the sardine that in many communities
In Brittany every person Is directly or
indirectly supported by 1t. and the fail
ure of the fish to come means ruin,
starvation and death to many people
in the more isolated places.
Sardnes are found on the coast of
Brittany throughout the year, but
flourish in greater abundance in sum
l1cr and autumn. AS many as 100.-
600 have been taken at one time in
one net from one school. One remark
able feature of sardine fishing in Brit
tany Is the enormous amount of bait
which Is used. The bait in general
use is the sa!ted eggs of the Goldfish,
and 1t is estimated that the Breton
fishermen pay fT0,000 every year to
Norway for cod roe for use as bait.
The casting of the bait. on the prop
er use of which great deal of the sue
cess of the fishing depends, is always
done by the captain of the boat, who
stands on u little platform in the stern
and while directing the movements of
the boat and the manipulation of the
net throws the bait to attract the fish
TO the surface and around the boat
When the fish are on one side of the
net or on the other his next move is
to cast the bait in such way as to
cause them to rush against the net and
thus become gilled. London Tit-Bits.
