War Blamed for Lack
Of Fatness in Oysters

SAYNlLLE. l.. l.. Sept. S.-Oyster
fshe rmen are blaming the European
war for the lack Of "fatness" OF the
luscious blue points during the last
two shipping seasons.
Because of the war. they say, there
has been a grent falling off in orders
for export. and the oysters on the
Great South Bay beds have become so
numerous that the natural food of
the bay drift has not been sufficient
ly great to appease their appetites.
Furthermore 1t is said the oysters
have been too crowded for comfort.

Through the Press Service of Agri.

who achieve seldom talk. and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as noisy thinker. and
brevity IL always u close companion
TO truth.
1t will be a great privilege to stand
by the side OF men who can roll in
place the cornerstone OF industry: to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
OF 1t; to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization u few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
against every man who achieves
Cruelty him." Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
OF It's day. There never will be
crown without cross. progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out challenge.
This is an age of service, and that
man is greatest who serves the larg-
est number The present generation
has done more to improve the con-
dition of mankind than any civiliza-
ton since human motives began their
upward flight The Greeks gave human
life inspiration, but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues of
angels, her farmers were blowing
with forked sticks; while her phil
osophers were emancipating human
thought from bondage. her traffic
