SALMON AT SOUTH POND.
Fish Under Is Inches in Length Can.
not Be Taken Lawfully.

Fishermen who go to Marlboro South
pond should remember that the law
provides that landlocked salmon UNI
der 10 inches in length cannot be taken
lawfully. 1t will be n temptation on
catching salmon l2 to IA inches IN
length to keep the handsome fish, but
to do so will be a violation of the
law and the Offenders if caught will be
prosecuted. Persons who have been to
the pond this season state they caught
two salmon to one trout, hut none Of
the salmon were of legal length. 1t
is interesting to note in this connec-
ton that salmon only q few inches in
length have been caught, which indi-
Gates that the fish are reproducing The
prediction was freely made that salmon
would not reproduce in the pond, as
there are no brooks into which the
fish can run in the spawning season
