FOR OYSTERS PROBED
Report of Government In
quiry Into Pollution May Be
Ready in Short Time.

Just what sort of a breeding ground
for oysters the Potomac really makes is
being investigated by the Department of
Agriculture now. The gross results, so
far as sewage pollution is concerned, will
be known in ten days or two weeks. The
full pollution report will be much longer
than that in preparation.
1t has been the intention of the bureau
OF chemistry to make a comprehensive
survey of the river. Recently DR.. Wiley
obtained the loan of a tug from the
Navy Department and she has started
on trip from Washington to the mouth
Of the Potomac, taking water samples all
the way and going up such of the side
creeks as seem important.
The boat is equipped with living quar-
ters for the experts. They have with
them the materials for bacterial analysis
and plates will be made and germs plant
ed from all the water specimens as they
go along. This is work that has to be
done at once. When there is a suspicious
colony of germs found in any of the sam
pies they will be replated and fresh
cultures made. A record will be kept of
the locality and the bugs will be
nursed and cultivated till it is found out
definitely whether there is anything
harmful in the colony. The harmful
germs will be isolated and from the sam
pie it will be possible to tell just the
state Of water pollution at the point
where the sample was taken
