RETURNS FROM
OYSTER BEDS

The latest report OF the state shell.
fish commission contains some -eve.
lations of the practical working OF
the oyster bottoms leasing law, pas.
sed in 1906, which are enlightening IL
not very encouraging. Under this law
the shcllfish comm ssion was created
and comprehensive survey of the
Oyster lands, productive and non-pro.
duotl,e, was provided fer. This sur.
vey has now been practically com.
pleted, and in the report just issued
the commission declares that there
are now 100000 acres of bottoms
available for leasing under the law
which can be made valuable by arti.
fetal development, and that 10000
acres of these lands are so situated
and constituted that, by the applica.
ton OF modern methods of oyster cul.
ture. they can be made as highly pro-
ductive as the bottoms reserved IS
natural yielding areas. This state.
ment Is quite moderate and is doubt.
less well within the bounds of truth
concerning the extent and productive
possibility of the oyster lands avail.
able for leasing. The opportunity
awaits, but the report shows that oys.
ter culture under the Haman law has
not developed; has. in fact, retrograd.
ed. II is shown that for the year
which ended with September. 1909,
the rental receipts from leased bot.
toms amounted to $3,56s,50, and that
for the year ending with September
1910--the last year covered in the re-
port-the rentals had dropped to
$1,571.54. The leasing system so far
has cost annually more than II has
come to. The total receipts, under
the new oyster law for the fiscal
year 1909. were s4.l7S.S0, and the To-
tai cost of the system was for that
year $33.4S5.S2, and the total re.
ceipts for 1910 were Sl,796.54, as
against total cost OF maintenance of
s3l,146
The report upon the whole leads
to one of two conclusions. Either the
state should abandon all pretense ot
operating a leasing system or else II
should provide a leasing law so
amended that it will encourage and
not discourage the enlistment of pri-
vate enterprise in oyster farming.
What the leasing results are at the
close of the fiscal years ending with
September 1911. is not shown, but ut
the end of September, 1870 only 2,7SS
acres of the 100000 valuable bottoms
offered for years wereleaser. AS in
dicated by the rental receipts. there
was marked decrease in the acre
age leased in 1909.

AMERICAS MIS-
SING MACKEREl

The mackerel was one OF the great
stapcl fish foods of the country as
far back as colonial days, and the fish
cry was very actively prosecuted in
New England, and. to some extent, in
the Middle Atlantic states. In 1856,
after several years of unprecedented
abundance. the mackerel dropped off
suddenly and has never resumed its
former righteousness.
The fishery of last year was the
poorest in the history of the country
As against a catch of about 100000
barrels Of sailed fish in 1885 the
catch of 1910 was only 300 barrels
There are today invested in the
mackerel fishery nearly $2,OOO,000.
but the fishery is being prosecuted
more in the way of lottery than
anything else, Notwithstanding the
long continued disappearance of the
| maCkerel, vessels are fitted out ev.
cry spring in the expectation that the
missing fish will come back in as
, great numbers as in 1855,
Sixteen hundred men have been
year after year holding on to this
fishery with the hope that something
win turn up. If the macheTc were
70 come back their vessels would
make tremendous profits Sailed mat
kerel are worth $40 a barrel today
whereas in 1850 they sold for 81 ano
81 a barrel
The diminution in the catch came
so suddenly that II is difficult to "a
cribe 1t to active fishing operations
The bureau Of fisheries experts hav,
been inclined to believe that there
are some physical factors operating
ON the eggs and the young fish which
prevent the development of the younr
fish, but they do not know positively
10 is hoped that international Inves
tigation by the foreign fishery ex
perts will determine whether tn,
mackerel has recently undergone {
decrease in abundance or has sough
other grounds and is likely to return

a Chance For The Boys

One OF the largest and best Of our
native fruits has never received The
attention that it's merits, This is
the wild pawpaw (Asimina triloha)
which is found along the rivers and
small streams in many sections OF
the eastern and central states. The
fruits vary grealvin size and quality
and are produced sngly on in clus-
ters on small bushes. The charac
teristic flavor OF the fruit is not re-
lished by some but many persons
are very fond of the well ripened
fruit. The State Experiment Station
is attempting to improve the pawpaw
by collecting seeds and plants Of the
best wild sorts. In order TO enlist
the cooperation Of persons acquaint
ed with desirable types the Horu'
cultural Department has arranged
with the State Horticulture Society
to offer prize OF $500 for the larg
est and best specimen exhibited at
the annual meeting at the Fifth Re-
giment Armony in Baltimore. No
vember Is to %. A second prize Of
zoo will be given for the next best
specimen. This offers an opportuni-
ty to any boy in the State to win q
substantial premium and at the same
time help in the Improvement Of q
neglected fruit. Specimens should
be securely packed together with
the name and address Of the sender
and forwarded to W. r Ballard,
State Experiment Station, College
Park, Md. or sent direct 10 the Ar
mory in time for exhibit in care OF
Prof T. B. Symons, Secretary Of
the horticultural Society. Trans
portation charges will be refunded
upon presentation Of receipt.

After all is saNAN Democrats ia
this campaign are standing squarely
on the Jeffersonian doctrine OF
Equal Rights to All and Spr cial
Privileges to None, and upon that
doctrine they will win. Applying
it to the tariff question, they insist
that the United States government
has no right under the Constitution
to protect one class Of citizens unless
IL protects all classes, and they pro
pose in their platform to go right
ahead after the election, as they d!d
in the last Congress and gradually
reduce the tariff to revenue basis,
eventually taking itoif certain neces-
saries OF life altogether, Applying
IL to the trust question, they insist
that the business OF the country be
restored to revenue basis, and 10
this end they propose to break up
all private monopolies, declaring in
their platform that such monopoiies
are "indefensible ant int0lerable.
Applying it to the income tax queS-
ton, they insist that the rich and
the poor should contribute to the eN-
penses of the national government in
propotion to their income, tnus plac-
ing the burden heaviest upon 'no'e.
