CONSERVATION
COMMISSION
Division of Fisheries, by James Nevin

The field of fresh water fish investi-
cation has been little touched upon.
No one assumes that the great numb
er Of streams and the numerous lakes
and ponds throughout the state are
productive to their maximum capacity
and rarely is due care taken to con-
serve the practical ways and condi-
tions favorable to the growth and pro-
pagation of fish The streams, lakes
and ponds should be stocked and re-
stocked with fish is an ever-growing
demand which indicates the wide
spread interest in such fishing grounds
whether they serve as a means of re
creation or a source of food supply.
Stocking and restocking of the water
is, however, the only means for keep
ing up the supply therein.
The natural destruction begins with
the loss of the fertilized eggs deposit
ed by the parent fish on spawning
grounds which are eaten by the
ground-eating fish such as suckers,
mullets, redhorse, eelpouts, lizards,
and in fact, various other fish. A
large part of these eggs become COW
cred with mud or silt or are smoth-
cred, the young fish eaten by tn
minnows during the early fry stage,
and the lingering size eaten by the
larger fish. This loss cannot be es-
timated neither can it be entirely
prevented, but one great source Of de-
struction can be conrolled by laws that
can be made and enforced by man.
In the Commissions last report we
emphasized the Importance of making
a survey of our many streams to de-
termine their fitness for planting
trout and other food fishes. Two years
ago, the work was begun and the
streams of several counties were thor
oughly examined and the data OBJ
tained is now in our office. The work
was discontinued this year, owing to
the necessity for curtailing expenses
We disliked to lose a year in carrying
on this important work and we hope
that the legislature will provide us
with sufficient funds in the future so
that a complete survey of the state
can be made Hundreds of applica-
tions for fry are received each year,
for streams about which We have no
information. If all the conditions
were known we would be in a position
to determine whether any particular
stream was suited to the kind of fish
for which application had been made,
and if it were not, we could supply
such fish as would thrive. Such a
policy would save many trout fry that
qre now planted in streams unsuited
to such fish.
The propagation of fish has many
trials. A large number of eggs may
be taken thoroughly impregnated and
hatched, only to become infected with
some disease and millions die just be-
fore time for distribution. The road
to success for the fish culturist is
lust as hard and full of bumps as that
nf the farmer. The farmer with his
grain fields promising we'll and an
abundant crop, often meets with seri-
Gus losses from a wind, storm, hail,
drought or hot sun. Similarly, even
the human family itself suffers from
epidemics such as Spanish Infenza
which has caused the death of many
people. Thus unhappy experiences
are met with in fish propagation

Motherhood in Italy just now is not
the joy that it might be, for the poor
women are at their wits ends to cl0the
the children already in the family. not
to mention the preparation for the lit
tie newcomers. Perhaps the most ap-
preciated gifts of the American Red
Cross at this time are the Iayettes
which are being given to the mothers
of Italy. Each layette consists Of
twenty-four pieces and includes four
bright colored swathing bands, so dear
to the heart of the Italian woman
Twenty layettes a week are needed at
ChiOggia alone.
