Not a salmon has been taken this season
from Georges Lake, that beautiful sheet of
water in the pretty town of Liberty. These
fish when taken have been of large size, and
this sustains the theory Of fishermen that they
are the survivors of the fry with which the
lake has been repeatedly stocked who have
escaped the predatory bass. 1t is now sug-
gested that in further stocking a portion of
the lake be screened off in which the young
salmon may attain sufficient growth to care for
themselves.
THE CORN PACK BIGGER THAN LAST YEAR
The Saco Valley Canning Company finished
their corn pack last Friday afternoon, having
put up 10000 cans under the direction of
their superintendent, Arthur Rondeau of
Auburn. The entire pack has been sold. Two
car loads were shipped to Ohio, some was
taken by local merchants, and the remainder
goes out in small lots. 1t is of very fine quail
ty. Last years pack was $1,000 cans The
Brooks factory has been sold and the Liberty
factory could not secure acreage to operate,
which gave the local factory large territory
in poor corn season, They will begin on the
apple pack this week.
