Mr. White is a survivor. Not only that, but

Condition OF SheIIflsh Industry.

The report Of the commission of Fisheries of
Virginia, just issued, is of more than usual
interest by of the showing it makes
of the condition of this industry in Virginia and
the complete disproof of the scare indus
triously disseminated few years ago that the
Virginia oyster supply rapidly being de-
pleted So far from this being true, 1t appears
that the output of oysters has increased from
less than six million bushels in 1907-S to twelve
million bushels in 1911 and 1912, and the sum
realized therefor has risen from $4,000, 900 to
$500 GOO, or nearly so per cent, in spite of the
low price of the bivalves during the last named
season.
In conserving the supply of oysters and en-
forcing the oyster laws of the State the COM
