ceive 100000
The banker refused, but later saw
the two men talking with Bryan Two

OYSTER INDUSTRY A
SERIOUS BUSINESS
In Maryland IT Is Gradually TAKING 4
Place Of Inrortance--Motor-
boats Suppiant Stills.

Maryland oyster planters and oys-
termen-the terms. once SO dlsslmilar
in meaning, are fast becoming synony-
mous--have been taxed at times with
tagging behind somewhat in the march
Ct progress characteristic OF their day
and of their State.
But while this charge may have APP
piled in days gone by. when oyster
ing partook more OF the nature OF an
avocat'on than of serious business
u no longer sticks. A few generations
ago there were oysters eve rywhere in
the bay and its tributaries-beds SO
prolific that they seemed ine xhansti-
bic. There was little competition from
other States. for oyster culture, the
| logical cause of the wonderful boom
in the inductry North, South and
West, was still in its incipiency. Small
wonder. then, perhaps. that the gather
ing of the natural harvests from the
waters of Maryland should have been
carried on in manner somewhat d s.
ultory by men who thought their fields
would be productive and who counted
upon the nationwide demand for Ches
apeake oysters.
But the inevitable change came, and
| the old regime passed Virginia, North
Carolina, Connecticut, Rhode Island
and other States became active con-
petitors with oysters produced by pri-
vate planting. and Marylanders real
lied that to maintain their oace DOM
inant prestige they must be up and
doing. The realization was long COM
ing, for Chesapeake oystermen fought
against the idea that their bay was in
danger of failing them, but it is grow
ing more widespread every day. AS
the Natural result oyster culture. prac-
| ticable under the Hannah law, is loom
! ing up as the only solution of the diff
| ficulty.
They Turn To Private Planting.
Oystermen, therefore, are turning to
private planting, and while the indus
