NO FISH LICENSE
FOR YOUNGSTERS
Commissioner Points Out Need
For Revenue to Develop
State Hatcheries

Fishermen of Pennsylvania have
taken up the proposition for hunters
license TO supply the State Department
of Fisheries with definite fund from
which to draw the money for propa-
cation, protection and other work.
along the same lines as the hunters'
license fund. and there is discussion
under way from the Delaware to the
Ohio. The idea has been supported
in many quarters and knocked in
others. The State Department of Fish
cries is going right through with the
proposed legislation and believes that
the success of the hunters license will
insure that of the fishermen.
The Department of Fisheries in q
statement on the matter issued to-day
says:
This question is one that should be
looked upon by all in a broad-minded
way. There are three classes of fisher
men in the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania-the fishermen who fish in
our Great Lakes and our tidal waters
for commercial purposes. an industry
which is of much Importance to all
the people of Pennsylvania on account
of the enormous food supply which is
produced and which can only be kept
up and conserved by artificial propa-
cation; the sportsman who fishes for
the sport and recreation which he re-
ceiVes and which cannot be es Imated
in dollars and cents. The department
believes that every sportsman will
agree with ii that the time spent upon
stream is an absolute rest and he
goes back to his place of business a
better citizen and better able to cope
with the duties which confront him.
Another class is the class who fish for
the purpose of securing a string of
fish for food. The last two classes are
about equally divided.
'"rhe tishermen's license bill is be-,
Ing drawn up so that it will not be-
come hardship upon any particular
person. The boy and girl under a GER
tain age will be free to fish without a
license.
The fishermen may as well under
stand that in order to meet the many
questions confronting the Department
Of Fisheries in tile proper manner.
more funds must be available for the
use of the department. The money
derived from the fishermen's license
will be used by the Department of
Fisheries for the extensive propagation
of fish for planting i'm the streams of
the Commonwealth for the benefit of
all the people and 1t is a well-known
fact that ii is useless TO plant in our
inland waters small fish as the de-
partment cannot longer depend upon
the natural production In the various
streams. but must plant fish of almost
catchable size. This means that the
fish must be held at the hatcheries
until they reach length of from four
10 six inches.
The department Is flooded with ap-
plications from all sources for every
species far beyond anything il ever ex-
pected or anticipated To fulfill these
demands the hatcheries will have to
he fully developed and enlarged. The
demands made upon the department
for fish can he met II funds are avail
able for the carrying out of the plans
! as formulated"

swered in a bulletin recently pub
lished by the Experiment Station.
Quoting Professor McCue, the
author of the bulletin, the orchard
consists of 1888 trees, IS Cham
pion, 800 Belle of Georgia, and
658 Elberta, planted 20 feet by 90
feet. Computations of the cost Of
the orchard are handicapped by
the fact that these trees are used
primarily for experimental pur-
poses, which in many instances
makes the expense much heavie"
than in an average commercial or
chard, at the same time affecting
the yield from certain plots. By
way of illustration, 600 of the El-
berta trees are being used in an
extensive fertilizer experiment,
the trees divided into "a equal
blocks, receiving 20 different fer
tilizer treatments. 800 of the
Belle of Georgia are being used in
, a cover crop experiment., and are
divided into IL blocks receiving
9 different cover crop treatments.
The remaining trees of all varie-
ties are used to fill out the out
lines of the orchard and serve to
furnish material for other expert
mental work, such as spraying,
etc.
In spite of these handicaps, tde
orchard, which is now in it's ninth
year, has yielded profit of 29.S
per cent on the original invest
ment of 500 per acre. This repre-
sents five per cent return on a
valuation of $596.20 an acre.
After the sale of this years crop,
the percentage of profit on the or
chard will probably be raised to
so per cent. The total receipts
for the years 1925 inclusive
amount to $7599.29.
The bulletin referred to, which
is popularity written, gives in clear
convenient form, just the facts
the orchardist is seeking. Aside
from the history of the orchard,
tables present the detailed expen-
ditures from the day of planting
to the present development of the
orchard; the cost of production is
computed to the basket; and the
result of the various cover CROP
tests given. The bulletin is per.
tinent in every particular, anC
promises to be an extremely pop
ular one.

Miss Beck of Middletown, Il
trained nurse of twelve years ex-

Newark this week, going over
with E. B. Frazer, chairman of the
committee, the plans for the new
infirmary connected with the col
lege. The Stoll property has been
remodeled for this purpose, and
Miss Beck will be the resident in
charge of the work. The infirm-
ary is a part of the larger pro-
gram of the college development,
which looks toward the interest of
the resident student. After the
completion of the remodeled old
dormitory which is to become a
Commons" and the building of
the new dormitory it is believed
campus life will prove SO attract
i've, that committing students will
be reduced to a minimum.

COMPLICATIONS OVER
SEWER CONNECTIONS
Council Considers Subject AT
Special Meeting

Council met in special session
last Monday night to consider the
conditions which have arisen ii
connection with the ordinance re-
quiring sewer connections to be
made throughout the town. The
special case for consideration was
that of the pool-room property
belonging to the George H. Huber
estate, on Main street. Mr.. George
F. Huber, the administrator, had
been notified several months ago
by the local Board Of Health to
connect with the sewer but owing
to the ruling prohibiting connec-
tions on the Main street, between
the two railroads, before January
|, 1919, which necessitated con-
nection by way Of Delaware Ave-
nue., at an additional expense, Mr..
Huber had not complied with the
instructions. A warrant for his
arrest was consequently issued
last week.
In connection with the sewer eX-
tension to the Women's College
and South College avenue, it is
necessary to obtain the right of
way across a strip of land owned
by the Huber estate. This right of
way Mr.. Huber refused to grant
unless Council conceded him the
privilege of connecting by way of
Main street. Owing to the imper-
ative need of completing the sewer
extension Council deemed it adj
visable to compromise and Mr.
Huber was granted the special
privilege of connecting by way OF
.tunnelling under the new street.
