Gulf of Mexico. Uncle Sans fishermen
have explored those waters and shown
the men how to smooth over the bed of
the gulf in various places and cover 1t
with such material that the oysters
cling to.
Dr. Smith tells me that upon many OF
these beds there had been no oysters be-
fore. but that a year or two after their
making they We're producing them at the
rate of about 1000 bushels to the acre.
Those oysters sold for ~ cents bushel,
making the shore waters yield product
worth 1920 per acre. many times the
money product of the best cotton or rice
fields in any part of the south.
Oyster planting is now done to such an
extent that the greater part of our oyster
supply comes from oyster farms. The BIZ
valves grow in warm water as we'll AS in
cold. and along the Gulf of Mexico they
are eaten all the year AROUND. Farther
north they are not SO good in July and
August.
The fish commission has tried the eX-
pertinent OF transplantng the Atlantic
oysters on the Pacific coast. They are
found to fatten and grow, but they do
not have any young. the water being too
cold for them to breed. These oysters
retain the flavor of the eastern oysters
and bring high prices In the markets.

I'm addition to that there is the Alaska
herring DR.. Smith continued. There
are many of them that they are caught
and sold fertilizer. They should sup
ply the United States and take the place
of those which are importing.
The cod and halibut are likely to yield
a great deal The halibut is now being
caught i'm Alaska and taken down to
Seattle and Vancouver and shipped to the
east. They are good as the Atlantic
halibut. and they are so abundant that
it is possible carry them this long
distance and sell them al lower cost
in the markets of Boston. When the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway is COM
pleted these fish will go to Prince Rupert
and thence to all parts of the United
States and Canada.
Are the Alaskan fisheries Well man
aged?''
Yes. They are under the United States
government and the fish commission con
trolls the planting and catching. AS a
result the fisheries are being preserved,
and they will give us salmon for all time
to come We are now regulating the
methods of catching and marketing and
have our agents on the ground to see
that our regulations are respected. We
require license taxes. but omit them upon
all fisheries or fishing companies which
return 1 900 young salmon to the streams
for every ten cases of salmon they can.
Some of the canning interests have pri-
vate hatcheries and are planting mil
lions of young nSh. Inc government mas
it's hatcheres. There is one at Yes bay
which during the past two years has let
free 81 OOO,OW salmon"
"Are you planting new varieties of fish
in different parts of the United States?
Yes. we have imported fish of various
kinds. and some have proved valuable
have already spoken Of the carp. This
was brought in from Germany. II Is an
excellent fish for private culture and
home consumption, and the carp ponds
are increasing very rapidly.
I'VE have also brought in number of
European trout. Moreover, We are carry
ing fish from one part of the United
States to another. For instance, the shad
is now one of the most abundant food
fishes Of California. 1t can be found
from Los Angeles to Alaska. and it is
about as common on our Pacific coast as
on the Atlantic. This comes from shad
which have been taken from the Atlantic
and planted there. The total cost of the
experiment was something like $4,000, and
at the present date the shad taken out
and marketed in that region runs high
into the millions of pounds. 1t has net
ted the fishermen over a third of mil
lion dollars, which Is big dividend on a
four thousand-dollar investment.
Another fish which we have sent west
is the striped bass which We planted first

cannot go up the rivers 10 spawn. This
was done to such an extent that the sup
ply of North Carolina shad was greatly
reduced. The output fell to 5.N0O000 when
the officers of the bureau of fisheries went
to the North Carolina Legislature and Sc
cured certain protective laws. As a re-
suit this last year the catch has been
fifteen times as great as it was before
those laws were passed, and the shad are
rapidly growing in number.
The Potomac shad are almost unpro-
tected There are fish nets running from
Washington all the way down to Chesa-
peake bay. The fishermen of Virginia
run their nets as far they can out into
the middle of the Potomac. The Mary
land men do the same from the opposite
bank, and in the middle of the stream
nets are so stretched that they catch the
shad which swim along the bottom. The
result is that the Potomac river. which
once had its Shad by the tens OF mill
lions, had practically none this year. and
this fish is likely to be exterminated as
far as 1t is concerned DIR. Smith says
that if law were enacted keeping
strip one-third the width of the river
free of nets enough shad would go up
that strip to give us plentiful supply
1t is the same in many other parts of the
United States.
The day will come when every farmer
who has pond or stream on his place
will raise his own fish, and at the same
time produce fish for the markets. DR..
Smith tells me that this is the case in
many of the countries of Europe, and
that it is SO in Germany irrespective of
the fact whether the farmer lives in the
interior or along the sea From Germany
the fish commission has imported carp.
and these are now being raised here in
than a million dollars a year In 1908
AZ, 100000 pounds of them were caught in
our public waters and in addition a vast
number were taken from private streams
and ponds.
Some of the farmers Of the south are
now making money out of oysters This

pecally on the Louisiana shores of the

To be seen
How about the fish of the great .ake.'''
They are valuable but VIC lave great
deal of trouble i'm controlling the industry
because we have no nat onal or interna-
tional laws regarding it, Each state does
as il pleases. and the Canadians do a.
they please The result i that there :
a great destruction of fish and especially
of the whitetsh and other valuable va
rleties Nevertheless We are annually
getting 1s5.H0.10 pounds of fish from
those lakes and our interior waters, ana
the greater part oil TINS comes from lne
lakes We are doing what We can to IN
crease the lake supply. We have one sta
lion on Lake Erie where, in 1907, our coll
lections of whitefish eggs reached to-
tai of s:,i,nO0.oo We bought those eggs
from the fishermen for the most part and
gathered the rest ourselves. We have 4
number of such stations on the lakes ana
also well equipped hatcheries.
I'm the same way We are collecilfg the
eggs of the pike, perch and lake trout.
and are doing much to improve tie sup
ply of these and other valuable fishes
How is ii possible to carry nsh over
the country 80 that they will keep alive
and grow when planted?
We do that ia various ways. We nave
snecial cars each of which is walled with
twenty or more large water tanks IN
which the fish are carried. There are
also commandments which hold more than
a thousand gallons of reserve water We
have boiler room on such a car, ana a
plant to pump water and air into the
tanks There are also sleeping places.
and a kitchen and a pantry for the men.
These cars may be attached To a regular
train and dropped off as needed. In send
ing small shipments use ten-gallon
cans. which are carried in baggage cars.
The cans are handled by our own mes
sengers In some years our cars ana
messengers travel over :bo,ce miles IN

states and the fish reared are increasing
by the hundreds OF millions per annum.
Since the establishment of the bureau.
which was about forty years ago, more
than 2S0G. 0oo,00o eggs have been arti-
ficially produced and of these about hall
have been the output of the last six
years. | am told also that this work IS
at its beginning and that If our waters
are properly stocked and cared for we
may yet shake our fists in the faces or
the packing interests and live upon fsh.
The next Congress will be asked to
make new laws for the protection OF our
fish in the streams and along the coasts,
as we'll as to the proper management of
our oyster farms During my stay in the
offices of the fish commission / had a
chat with DR.. Hugh Nj. Smith. the deputy
commissioner. DIR. Smith is high
authority on all such matters. He has
travelled widely over the world looking up
new fish and fish products. in order that
they may be transplanted TO the United
States
He tells me that the states now have
the right to control the protection and
propa CATION of the fish within their
He thinks this should be
given over to the national government,
and says that many of the states are al
lowing their fisheries to go to ruin. Take
the shad which gives tens of millions
of pounds of the most delicious food
every years. 1t is the leading fish of our
eastern sea board, and il runs up the
coastal streams of the Atlantic as the
salmon does up those of the Pacific. The
has been doing what 1t can
to plant shad. and il has placed some
thing like 3.HU.oHi.BD of the young in
the various streams. All thesi fish We're
reared from eggs taken from fish caught
for the markets and the flesh of the fish
was eaten. As II is now in some of the
states the shad are taken when they
first enter the streams. The eggs are not
ripe at that time and are useless to the
hatcheries. The result is that the spawn
takers must wait for the run farther up
stream. and millions are lost. In North
Carolina the fishermen SO control the
streams that the greater part of the shad

Ger in the Italian army. The prince

in Brussels, near to his house, when the
marriage with Princess Clementine was

that marriage was put aside on King
Leopold's refusal to consent to IL cleri-
cal newspapers announced that the prin-
cess had broken it off because of the en-

no truth in such a report Prince VIC
tors friendship with the Italian continued
when the engagement with the princess
was officially recognized. and the countess
did not Quit Brussels until Prince Victor
left to be married She then passed out
of the princes life. and took up her per-

Princess Clementine inherited many mil

YOU Eat fish" IL will make more brain
and lust as good muscle. 1t will digest
quite as easily. and, taken fresh from
the waters. will make you go singing
through life The Japanese nation. one
q the happest on earth. is composed of
fish eaters. The Chinese. one of the
strongest and thriftiest, lives largely
upon the same food, and all over Europe
nearly every farmer has his own private
nSh pond
There Is no land that will rear fish bet
ter than the United States and there is
no sort of animal life which will breed
SO rapidly nor produce so much. Man
has but one. two or at the utmost three
young at time and the same Is true of
attic and horses. Some breeds of sheep
produce twins and the hog often has
ten or twelve pigs at a litter The fish
multiplies by the thousands. The Pacific
salmon has on the average five thousand
eggs, the Shad thirty thousand and the
cod Is said to drop as many two mil
lions. Indeed. il has been estimated that
II all the cod eggs laid in one year should
produce female fish. and they in turn lay
similar eggs, that within few years the
whole world would be covered and We
could have a tower of eggs reaching from
here to the moon.
All this is preliminary TO my story of
the great work which our Uncle Sam
Patriarch has under way to increase our
fish supply
During the past week I have been talk
ing with the men who run the fish COM
mission. They have big office here in
Washington. and connected with II are
fish hatcheries scattered all over the
Union. The government now matches fish

this there was an enormous planting of
