Uncle Sam Fights to Save the Salmon

about holding to the average,
as some of them had exceeded it mate
rally, nor did they bear out the theory
well known to every fisherman that
the bait is first turned by the fish and
swallowed head foremost. The blobs,
it seems, eat them both ways.
The destructive average of the blob
is estimated at six salmon a day,
which is maintained for about sixty
days a year. This would make the de-
structive capacity Of one fish total $50
salmon annually, to say nothing of the
little trout gathered in and sometimes
little blobs. The latter kind OF feed
ing, however, meets with the approvaf
of the fish experts.
Blobs in general are bottom fish and
prefer to remain hidden under stones.
etc. 1t is just in similar places that
young salmon and trout hide at GER
tain hours of the day, usually when
the sun is hottest. 1t is then that the
blobs can get them with the least diff
| dculty. For this reason, 1t is believed.
the stomach contents Of each of the
blobs examined represented one days
feeding and that under proper condi-
lions (when the salmon eggs or young
salmon are available) the same
l amount would be eaten each day.

TAKING INTEREST IN FAIR.
North Mississippi People Will Come in
Force This Year.

Jackson.-Assistant Secretary ]. M.
Mcdonald of the State Fair has returned
from a trip through North Mississippi
in the interest of the State Fair and re-
ports a highly successful visit to that
section; that although politics has the
call above all other topics of interest,
the people did take time enough to
listen to him and to manifest a marked
interest in the fair-more than the peo-
pie of the extreme northern portion OF
the state have ever taken before.
Heretofore the fair at Memphis has
naturally drawn the most of the atten-
ton of the people of that section, be-
ing advertised as the "Tri-State Fair"
and being closer to them, but Mr.. Nc
Donald says he finds a more patriotic
feeling and a pride in the magnitude
to which these Mississippians' own fair
has grown and a general disposition to
participate by sending exhibits and Wis
iting it themselves at the coming ex
hibition this fall.

Judge Albert H. Whitfield was appoint
