OYSTER SEASON NOW
AROUND THE CORNER
This Week VIII See Start OF The
longing Season.
OUTLOOK CALLED GOOD.
Larger Supply And Better Quality Ex-
pecled, Say Men. From The Beds
Prepare For Rush.
OUTLOOK CALLED GOOD.

This week, instead of being laden
with melons, fish and crabs, the small
sailing boats that ply on the Chesa-
peske Bay are conveying everybody ?
favorite the oyster.
From the present outlook the sup
ply this year will be larger than it
has been for the last twelve years.
The FISHERMAN has already made his
appearance in Annapolis and has bee n
in consultation with the numerous
packers and commission men regard
ing the seasons yield.
Plenty OF good oysters of a fairly
good size is the report that most Of
the oystermen have brought from the
oyster beds. Each one seems to be
very enthusiastic over the outlook.
A well-known local dealer had the
following to say:
The season last year was fairly
good one, but there were plenty of
small oysters-too small to catch.
For that reason the oystermen expect
an abundance of the large variety
this season. Some say, however, that
the small ones that were left last
year have not grown as much as was
expected and are somewhat disap-
pointed"
The longing season opened today
and will last until the end of April.
The dealers are awaiting eagerly the
day and what oysters are brought in
first will find ready market.
TNrnaA f.xfofzrr hasnv e.,
come, are always in demand until the
supply is reinforced by the dredged
ones. The dredging season in Mary
land begins November / and ends
about the middle of March.
Hundreds of small boats that have
been idle during the summer months
and those that have been used for
pleasure purposes have been put in
shape Tor the oyster trade. Already
a large number manned with oyster.
men are on the scene, awaiting the
order to start.
For the last two weeks there have
been busy scenes around the oyster
packing houses. Forces of men have
been kept blsy cleaning up the build
ings and getting ready the thousands
of buckets that are used to contain
the oyster for shipment.
While there is decrease in the
oyster packing business in Baltimore
each year. due to the number of firms
that have erected plants on the
Chesapeake Bay closer to where the
oyster is caught, the packers are pre-
pairing for rushing season this year,
with the hope that the packing indus
try will come up to its standard Of
years ago.
BY shocking the oyster almost on
the spot where it is caught big
item is saved, and the railroad rates
from the Eastern Shore factories to
points in the West, where most of
the shucked oysters are sent, is very
little more than the rate from Balti-
more.

DOG DAYS ENDED.
CAMS Major, The Dog Star Influences
Them Not The Dog.

Dog days came to an end last week.
Not that the dogs have anything to
do with the dog days, for these get
their name simply from the fact that
during the six weeks of dog days the
Gun appears in the constellation of
CAMS Major, in which the largest
star, Sirius or the dog star, +" which
il generally hid by the sun. comes
out from behind the sun, and has
what is called its "heliacal rising, =
or separation from the suns rays, so
that il can be seen.
Although his star is supposed to
be the largest in the heavens and
the nearest to the earth, yet it is so
far away from our solar system that
its heating effect is very small on
our plane and there is no real occa-
sion for ascribIng the heat of dog
days to the star itself. The real rea-
son that the so-called dog days are
hot is that the he at Of the sun is felt
more at this season of the year than
any other for a reason similar to
that of the extreme coldness of the
grounding season-about Febru-
airy 2.
The earth receives approximately
its greatest heat and light in the
year about the goth of June and its
least about the goth Of December.
But the earth has a kind of heat
savings bank system by which some
of the heat received from the sun,
and not radiated the same day, 10
saved up, as we may say. until it
is wanted for ripening the crops
and other purposes. So the warmest
days range from about June 20 to
August 20. Then they begin to grow
cooler again by losing daily more
heat than they receive, until near
grounding day when they begin to
store up again.
The weather man has his local
storms and air currents t, look
after, and these are always furnish
ing gossip for the weather-wise, but
they never affect Old Sol, who is
about 1000, 600 miles beyond all
our clouds and currents and is al
ways ION his job. This is the
bust time of the year to season
lumber and dry fruit-moon or no
moon.

of the engine-on the cowcatcher-
