MADAM! CARP IS VERY GOOD FOOD
 AND ECONOMICAL

The AUnited States Bureau of Fish cries has issued poster, which is to be used in a carp campaign. Readers of the poster and prospective eaters of carp are invited to write for in formation and recipes. This cam paign Is intended to promote the fuller utilization of carp dn regions in which it occurs as an abundant food fish. The body of the poster reads as follows:
 The carp discovered America in 1877. He found the land te his liking. He naultiphed and filled the waters with his kind, He is now big, abundant, useful He converts useless vegetation and small animals into meat. Vhis meat is wholesome and n1atri. tieus. It contains as much protein as sir1ein steak.
 It is easily digestib1e, It can be cooked in such a way aA to remove the muddy staste. It can be boiled, baked, made into croquettes, CT fish loaf. Carp jelly, an ancient Swedish dish, is delicious. There are miliieas of carp in the United States, The last census shows that 43,066,0 ,006 pounds were marketed in one year. Nearly all this came from a, few states in the Middle West.
 Somebody ate these 43,o60, ,oo0 pounds of carp.
 Therefore the carp must be geed te eat.
 The carp is good to eat. Carp has not only been eaten, but has been cr1- tivated in Europe for centuries. Eu- ropeans know how to cook it. Catch the carp; buy the carps cook the carp properly and eat it. Eat the roe; can the roe. Make carp jelly. Can the fish. Smoke it. toe.
