OYSTER FAILS TO PROPAGATE
Experts Unable to Determine Cause
for Disappearance of conneeti-
cut Bivalve.

New Haven. Conn.-Tn two years
there may not be any Connecticut oys-
ters- Government experts have been
looking into the failure of "set" in
Connecticut waters for two years, but
thus far have been unable to determine
why the once plentiful bivaive fails to
propagate in the sound.
A ''set" is the term used to de-
scribe the conditions when oyster
spawn attach themselves to shells
dumped into the sound waters for the
purpose. The spawn floats on the wa
ter and attaches itself to favorable OBJ
jects under water in August.
A year ago last August there was
little or no "set" and this year none
at all. Just what has brought about
this condition is a mystery not only
to oystermen, but to experts who have
been probing the failure.
Oysters which were ,"set" several
years ago are still growing under IA
vorable conditions and from them the
markets of the East are supplied.

His niggardy treatment Of postoffice employees
has been national in scope.
His matreatment of union teegraphers has also

His latest offense. however. has been particularly
injurious to this state. Arbitrarily and against the
advice Of those most concerned he has stepped into

Because he has thus affronted the people Of this
state more grievously than elsewhere. It behooves
the congressional delegation Of this state to lead the
