with the college, toward the advance
ment of agricultural and country life

in line with a practice already en-

SPAWNERS NOW AT WORK
Two Hundred Million Pike Fry
Needed for Waters Of Minnesota-
Start Today at Local Hatchery.
FISH ARE NEVER HARMED

Two hundred million pike fry are
wanted by the state game and fish
commission this spring-twice as
many as have been produced in pre-
vious years-and to get this vast
number nine crews of "spawners''
are stationed in the most advantag-
eous spawning grounds in the state,
one being placed at the Warfield dam
here to secure spawn for the Bemidji
hatchery, the stripping starting to-
day.
The game and fish commission
never has made such extensive pre-
parations and, while gathering spawn
always is more or less Of a gamble,
there will be keen disappointment If
200, 100000 eggs are not produced.
Under favorable conditions the haul
may be double that amount.
The commission is forced to take
extraordinary measures because of
the clamor for pike fry. The angler
wants bass or trout, but the fisher
man is quite content with string of
pike, for there is none better as a
food fish than the succulent pike,
properly prepared.
The best breeding grounds for pike
are in wild and inaccessible places,
but the commission has had consider
able success in the settled sections
of the state by protecting the waters
with care while. the pike are run
ming.
All the work is under the direction
of Eben w. Cobb, superintendent of
|hatcheries, who is now in the field
and who will visit most of the sta
lions.
The methods employed are much
the same at all the stations. The crew
sets out in boat with a seine when
the school of pike is thick and makes
a haul. The females are caught and
quickly stripped of the spawn. The
work is done by experienced hands
and the fish returned to the water
unharmed
The seines often bring in a lot Of
rough fish, such as buffalo, red horse
and the like, and then the settlers
have a feast Usually there is a.
group lettering about waiting with
sacks for their share The rough fish
are never returned to the river, but
are thrown ashore. The scrambles
for the prizes are often highly anus
ing, but ordinarily there is enough
for everybody and the men often take
home up to a hundred pounds of fish
to stock the family larder.
