OYSTER FARMING
GREAT INDUSTRY
Natural Supply Only Small
Part of the Total
Crop.

The popular idea of the source of
oysters is that they grow wild in
creeks, estuarles, ETC., and that men
go out in HIT boats and catch them,
a bushel or two at time, somewhat
as clans are caught. says Leslie's.
The general impression is that they
grow naturally without cultivation,
| like blackberries or blueberries; but,
like many other popular Impressions,
this is erroneous, except to q very
| limited extent.
Not one bushel in one thousand of
mature oysters ready for market Is
found growing naturally. This APP
plies to the product of the waters Of
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, New York, New Jersey and
Virginia. Instead of growing natur-
ally In the majority of these, States
the artificial propagation, cultivation
; and planting of oysters on large
scale now produces more than one
thousand bushels of mature oysters
against one bushel of mature oysters
growing wild.
Oyster farming is now a produce
| tive industry, as completely as Is
! grain farming on the enormous grain
: fields Of the West, where tens OF
thousands Of acres are sown and har-
vested under one management. Oys-
ter farming Is we'll compared to grain
farming, except that the growing of
oysters is a far more complicated,
, expensive and hazardous enterprise
than is the growing of grain.
A large oyster farm comprises many
thousands of acres OF land under
from fifteen to seventy-five feet OF
water in the great bodies of salt
water, such as Narragansett, Peconic,
! Gardeners, Great South, Delaware and
Chesapeake Bays. Often these farms
i are situated several miles from the
shore, so that strong field glass
| is required In order to Identify the
church spires, lighthouses, hil.tops
and other objects on the distant land,
! which are used for ranges In locat-
ing the boundaries of the oyster
! farms.
| The small boats used in the catch
| Ing Of wild oysters would be useless
| In the propagation, planting or catch
ing of the crops on these great oyster
farms. The grounds are in some In
stances several miles in extent, and
steamers and gasoline boats are en-
ployed In their cultivation: some OF
| the large steamers are more than 15C
/ feet In length. thirty feet wide and
catching 5000 bushels Of oysters 3
day, in water thirty to sixty feet
| deep-in other words. as deep as q
| six STORY building is high.
These great oyster farms. compris-
ing from 5000 to more than $4,000
acres under one management, are
often situated several miles from
land, where the bottom Is constantly
swept by the deep, clean currents OF
salt water, insuring the delicious pur-
ity of the product, which comnends
oysters to epicures.

ARGUE AGAINST
GREAT n. Y. BANK
Philadelphia Delegation Wants
Bank to Include South

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Philadel-
piia and Pittsburgh bankers ap-
reared before the federal bank organ
szation committee here today to urge
the claims of their cities for regional
reserve banks. L. L. Rue. chairman
OF the Philadelphia clearing house,
vas selected to speak first for Phila-
delphia, and Pittsburgh bankers.
wanted to be heard next. Cleveland
bankers. who will appear befora the
committee next week. were present
today, following the arguments pre-
scented for other cities.
Mr.. Rue urged the selection Of
Philadelphia for a district to consist
of southern New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware and eastern Mary
land. He suggested that all Mary
land, Virginia. North Carolina and
Hyeet VIRGINIA might be added.
The Philadelphia delegation came
out strongly against a great bank in
New York. Mr.. Rue agreed with Sec
Rotary McAdoos suggestion that for
eigners would not look to the strength
OF the New York bank so much as to
the healthy condition Of the entire
system
Mr.. Rue replied to the argument Of
the Richmond delegation that a dis
tr;ict should be carved out Of the
directors of reserve bank from
Northern States would not understand
the granting OF credit on cotton, to-
bacco and peanuts. He declared that
the branch banks would take care OF
4l1eg ranting OF creditors and that the
headquarters should be located where
sts management would come in the
closest touch with commerce.

delphia business men and bankers
Governor Charles r. Miller, OF Della

Contradictory Testimony Heard
in Hearing on Coal Freight
Rates.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.-Testi-
flying today at the inquiry of the In
terstate Commerce Commission into
the rates and practices of the an
thracite coal carrying railroads and
the so-called railroad coal companies.
r. I. Davies. general coal agent of
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com
pany said that the Reading Company
refused to give him an interline rate
for Coal destined for the west. which
refusal tended to restrict the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company's trade
to the east. He said his company has
since secured an. interline rate for
coal shipped to the west from the
Lehigh Valley Railroad.
julius Morrison. general auditor of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad. testified
that the railroad owned the entire
capital stock of the Lehigh Coal
Company. Coke Brothers & Co.. and
several smaller coal concerns. OF
pany has not paid any dividends for
several years.
Mr.. Morrison, answering questions
by j. J. Hickey, counsel for the COM
mission, testified that when the Lee
high Valley Coal Company and the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Com
pany exchanged different sizes of coal
they were short Of. the Lehigh Valley
railroad did not make any freight
charges for the transportation of this
coal from one company to the other.
The Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Com
pany Is a subsidiary of the Central
Railroad Company of New Jersey and
officials of this company have testified
that the Jersey Central did not
charge for such transportation, but
that the practise had been discon-
tinued.
