D
/ periments are successful restocking
and rejuvenation of stock will be un-
dertaken on a big scale next year.
/ 1t is calculated that about 100000
/ brook trout, one year old, will be sent
/ out to the trout streas and creeks of
\ the State and as many brown trout
as can be raised will then be placed
in the lakes. There are numerous
small spring water lakes in the State
and it is the idea to make them
1 popular fishing places. In addition to
brown trout they will be stocked with
perch and other fish.
Attention will also be given to
TRANSMISSION and building up of stock
of fish which have run down through
scarcity of their usual food and the
destruction of many by fishermen.
The planting" of trout is being
pushed this Spring as rapidly as the
weather permits, some fish having
been liberated in trout streams during
the mild weather of last week.
Expect to Get More. - Officials of
the State Board of Education expect
to secure control of a number of ad-

The next Legislature will be asked to
make a larger appropriation as the
board will then be in possession of
information on which it can calculate
exactly what will be required.
