year may not be the best time to make
predictions regarding spring foods
put do not think that we will be
bothered with many this year unless
there should come some prolonged
rainy spells" was the opinion ex-
pressed by resident of the upper end
OF the county yesterday. my reason
for that statement is that there is not
as much snow in the mountains as
there has been in many years gone bv.
In fact. some of the Blue Ridge spurs
and crests have very little snow and
nave been over some of the counties
in the main Allegheny region and do
not see as much snow as usual OF
course. there are valleys and some
mountains which are snow covered,
Dut the snow is not deep, and in MANY
places 1t is drifted so that portions Of
mountains are bare. When this CON
pltl9n occurs you can pretty nearly
bank on the fact that we are not going
TO have much high water in the Spring,
The snow starts to melt when the
rains start and then there is trouble"
Observation of trout streams of the
state In the last two years has con-
Vlnced officials of the State Depart
ment of Fisheries that many of the
streams known for years as trout
streams have become too warm be-
cause of the passing of woodlands
and brush along the streams for the
hatlVe brook trout or charr and it is
now the plan to stock these streams
with the brown trout The State
hatcherles have been propagating inn
mense quantities of the brown trout
Tor this work and Commissioner Ma
than H. Butler to-day suggested that
people study the streams for which
they want trout and ask for the kind
that Will thrive, not the brook trout
IL the waters are too warm but the
Drown. The experiments have shown
that the brook trout leaves water that
/ becomes over 65 degrees of tempera-
ture, but that the brown trout flourish
In waters which no brook trout can
stand. AS to whether the brown
trout will drive out brook trout i'm
whose waters he may happen to get,
experience shows, that the spreckled
trout can take care of himself in the
waters suitable to him." says Commits
sioner Butler. The reports received at
the department show that streams
stocked with brown trout are very
favorable and show good catches in
streams which were abandoned by
brook trout because the water got
too warm. In the more cultivated
parts of the country tho old trout
streams have so warmed up that they
: are in measure no longer fitted for
the brook trout. 1t is in these streams
that we think the brown trout will
thrive and which VIC will be glad to
cooperate with fishermen in stock
