Last Spring
DELAWAREANS
ARE CONCERNED

Shad fishermen of this State are ex-
ercised over the official report that
next season will be a poor shad sea-
son. The report comes from the con-
ference Of all OF the superintendents
OF the State Fish Hatcheries Of Penn
sylvania, which was held in Torres
dale yesterday. TO outline plans for
the winter work and complete ar
rangements for the distribution of
young FISH.
According to the reports Of the va
rious superintendents. the Matching
OF all the fish. with the exception OF
shad. was very successful this season.
They claim that tho unusually cool
spring and great number Of freshets
made the waters of the Delaware and
the other rivers freQuented by shad so
cold that they did not ascend them as
far as usual. and II was next TO i'm
possible to get a sufficient amount OF
spawn which could he hatched. They
predict a poor season for shad.
Brook trout, catfish. blue gill sun
fish and yellow perch will be distrib.
uted all over the State beginning
about the middle of September, and
the distribution will continue until
all the applications are filled and all
the streams selected are stocked. II
Is expected that this will be the larg-
est season the hatcheries have ever
known. The Delaware and Schuyl-
kill viii receive a large quota OF
small fish.
