OYSTER FARMING SUCCESSFUL

Remarkable Returns From First Prao-
teal Experiment In louisiana
New Orleans. - Remarkable returns
have resulted from the first practical
"oyster farming" experiment the Loui-
siapa state conservation commission
has undertaken In making use of the
heretofore unused water bottoms OF
the state.
Sample shells from the bottom OF
Silver lake, In Terrebonne parish, have
arrived at the office of the conservation
commission, and, although planted nine
months ago, clusters Of oysters, some
Of them of marketable size. from eight
to fourteen In number, were growing
on each. These shells were the old or
"shucked" shells that were planted on
the bottom of Sister lake, or Lake
Caillau, as 1t Is sometimes called, to
provide "clutch" for the young oyster
or "spat."
This lake, having a water bottom or
800 acres, has the proper salinity OF
water for the growing of oysters, but
lacked the necessary hard bottom or
other solids for the oyster "spat' to
attach itself and therefore prohibited
any experiment in the growing of the
bivalves.
Last year 1t was decided to SOW the
bottom of the lake with the old oyster
shells, and on May 8, 1914, the commits
sion distributed 10,488 barrels of old
shells over the lakes bottom. Results
were at once apparent for by June 8
1t was found that "spat" from the seed
oysters sowed In the lake had attached
and were In all stages of development.
Inspector j. Labat worked under the
direction of Frank t. Payne. The In
vestigations showed that the oysters
were growing at rapid rate.
In March, or nine months after the
clutch was planted, the inspectors
tonged up clusters from various parts
of the lake and sent these to the COM
mission for examination. The oysters
were remarkably rich in flavor and of
the priced salty taste.

she had followed her arrangement
with them she would have gone into
the war on their side. 1t was from
the very beginning apparent that she
would not do that Both sides were
exerting every influence to enlist her,
and it was therefore inexpedient for
either belligerent to lntrust it's diplo-
matte concerns to her.
Thus the United States from the be-
ginning was indicated as the central
office of diplomacy.
1t would be well nigh impossible to
catalogue the duties that fall to the
diplomatic agents Of the mutually
friendly power which takes over this
set of relations when war breaks out.
In England, for instance there was a
large population of Germans and Aus
TRANS. Some were naturalized; some
were not Many of both classes were
property owners. Some were anxious
to get out Of the country; others were
Just as anxious that they should not be
forced out of it. American agents had
to look after their interests.
When the war got fairly under way
camps for prisoners Of war began to
be established In all the warning coun-
tries. Complaints came from these. and
American diplomats had to look after
the interests of British and French and
Russian prisoners in Germany and Aus
tria and vice versa. Commissions have
been sent to supplement the efforts of
the regular diplomatic establishment In
this regard.
Not the least difficult services re-
quired OF the American consuls and
diplomats have been IN connection
with the colonial internments Of bel
ligerents Thus there have been es-
tablished In India. in Canada and In
Australia special camps for taking
care of citizens Of enemy countries.
Many hundreds of men are held in
the big internment establishments,
while their families have required at

not been formally interned. but left

cases have created set of problems

The Worlds Series Players
Promised a Big Reward

New York. Oct 3.-The Philadelphia
Nationals and the Boston Americans re-
spective pennant winners in their leagues
are about TO reap the financial reward of
their season-long efforts in the coming
Worlds Series. Owners and players are
expected to divide more than 500, 600 paid
in at the gates by the baseball fans of
the two cities most interested in the
series. With the immense seating capac-
ity of the Boston Nationals. new stadium,
which will be used for the games in that
city, the receipts should be larger than in
any previous contests in one park
The Braves stadium will seat more
than $4,000 and the receipts should exceed
$4,000 per game. In Philadelphia the
Phillies Park will not hold more than
10000 and the gate is not likely to be
more than $4,000. Even under these con-
dtions the players and magnates will
split the major portion of $4,000 in case
the series title is won in four games
straight and more than double that sum
should the series go six or seven games.
In any event it appears probable that
new gate receipts records will be estab-
lished, since the present high figures are
$490,449 collected in the eight game
series between the New York Giants and
Boston Red Sox in 1912. while the individ-
ual game record is held by the opening
contest of the Athietic-Giants series OF
1911 played at New York when 3S.2S1 spec
tators paid ST $500 to witness the con-
test.

complaint regarding the financial returns
and divisions of the same. The rivalry
of the players and the interest of the
fans assures big gate receipts and the
National Agreement and the National
Commission rulings provide for the dis
tribution of the same along the following
lines: The National Commission receives
10 per cent. of the receipts Of each and
every game; of the remaining 80 per cent
the players take 60 per cent. and the club
owners 40 per cent. of the first four
games. After four games have been
played the players cease to share in the
receipts and the club owners take the
full 80 per cent. remaining after the Ma
tional Commission has levied it's assess
ment.
Since the Worlds Series came under
the official control Of organized baseball
the total receipts have amounted to ST.
16S.273. OF this huge sum the % c:ubs
participating in the games between 1908
and 1914 have divided 81 ,eO4, ST. while the
players who won and lost the champion
ships in these years split SS73,09s on a
basis of SO per cent. to the winning team
and 40 per cent. to the losing combination.
The National Commission has received
$S11. 546 and the coming share of the Red
Sox-Phillies series will be welcome for
the large reserve of the commission has
