One dozen excellent recipes for
cooking carp, variety of fish common
in Wisconsin, have been prepared by
the home economics department, Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, and published for
the people of the state by the extern
sion service, College of Agriculture. It
is said that the sum of $270, 600 or more
has been gladly paid in eastern mar
kets during the past two seasons for
supplies of Wisconsin carp which Bad
ger state buyers had ignored. These
figures are based on official reports
which show that since 1915 two and a
quarter million pounds of carp have
been taken from Wisconsin inland wat
ers, the bulk of which was easily sold
in New York City and other eastern
points. There the carp competed with
salt water fish.
