For the past ten days crew of nine
men in the employ of the United States
, bureau of fisheries has been at work
ON the Mississippi in this vicinity
SEEMING fish from the ponds and pocK-
cts which have become landlocked
since the river has fallen. The great
err number OF the fish taken out are
carried and thrown into the running
waters of the river. A small per cent
of the game fish is brought to the gov
eminent fish hatchery at North Nc
Gregor. There they are placed In
tanks of running artesian water which
! is so cold that they can be kept alive in
1t for several weeks. AS fast as a car
load Is collected at the hatchery they
are shipped to inland points In Iowa
and Wisconsin. and placed In the
rivers and lakes. The rescue work of
the government is Of immense value.
During the high water season In the
spring the game fish go into the shall
| lower waters of the slough and lakes
to spawn. Az the waters recede IN
the summer the parent fish escape to
the main stream leaving their fry be-
hind in ponds and pockets that a little
later are deprived Of any outlet to run
ming water.
