RSSEJeESoSoS1 ports on the rSh-
s<sG5 ing season; on the
S>z9Gz - contrary the bass
fishing is extremely poor.
When the trout season opened
the streams were low and the water
was very cold" said the commission
ell to-day in explaining the situa-
ton. The fish were shy and remain
ec away from the favorite places.
Lately things have been warming UP
and we have had frequent rains.
This has brought up the waters and
the trout have been biting well and
l am informed that some splendid
specimens have been hooked IN
many counties. Streams which we
stocked few years ago are produc-
ing results. Now as to the bass the
water conditions spoil fishing for
them in many parts of the State but
that is not so bad as few of the pass
we have observed have spawned es
yet. There should be good bass fish
ing later on

that mills and factories are so pusy
on government orders that they cal
not handle what the State desires.

sent to barracks for training and
lists are being made of available
men who will be called up for en-
istment late in the month. Owing
to the war many men of military eN-
perience who would probably have
been available for the State police
have entered the army.
