AWAIT EXPERTS REPORT.
Cystermen Keenly Interested in Gov
eminent Oyster Inspection.

Representatives of the chemistry divi-
sion of the Department of Agriculture
paid several visits to the oyster wharf
last week to obtain specimens of the
oysters aboard the vessels at the wharf
for examination and analysis to deter
mine whether they contained disease
germs other matter that made them
unsuited for human consumption. Sew
eral times during the past oyster season
samples of Potomac oysters coming from
the beds above Blackstone Island, which
were condemned in the season of 1912 as
being germ-ridden, were taken by the de-
partment experts.
1t is said that not a condemnation of
oysters was made at the wharf in the
past season, and the vessel masters from
whose cargoes samples We're taken, heard
nothing from them. SO it Is supposed that
the oysters last season were purer than
in the previous year.
The oyStermen are anXiOuSly awaiting
the report of the government experts as
to conditions as they found them on
their recent trips to the mouth of the
river aboard the revenue cutter Apache.
