Oyster Season
Opens To-Day
7onsers Begin Their annual
Rush for Public Rocks, Pro-
tcctcd During Summer.

Virginia tongers will to-day set sail
Tor the natural rocks In the States
waterways to take advantage Of the
opening of the oyster season. Tho vast
beds OF these fine bivalves promise a
harvest which will be limited only by
the labor.
Commissioner John S. Parsons, OF the
Virginia Fisheries Commission, antici-
pates that the only difficulty which the
oyster industry will suffer this yeur
VIII be from the scarcity Of men to
operate as tonCers. AS in every other
walk OF life, the ranks of the oyster
men have been depleted since the be-
ginning of the national emergency.
While the oyster season does not
open until September Is, and continues
until spring, Ihe law does not moan
that oysters cannot be had in Nir-
Ginia throughout tho year. The prod
uct OF private beds can be taken by
the owner at any time and by hin,
shipped 10 market. 1t is only from the
public rocks that the Virginia oyster
cannot be taken during the closed sea-
son.
Commissioner Parsons expects 20
witness this year further good results
from deepwater oyster planting, a
branch OF the industry to which he
tention and one in which he Is keenly
interested. predicting q great future
for it.
Because of the continued increase in
the cost of foodstuffs and the corsta MT :
~ soaring prices. 1t is expected that
the oystermen will experience a sea
son Of great prosperity, for In Viz
Eiria they have an almost ine1haust-
ible supply on which to draw.
