Planting Wall Eyes Amid Difficulties.
While l was on a fishing trip to South
Edwards we got word from the Conserva-
perch fry would be in on the night train
at Edwards, four miles away. i had MADE
application for them last year, intending
TO stock Beaver Lake. located in the
woods over west of South Edwards.
Every one we asked seemed TO volunteer
to help and two farmers motored down
and met the train that night. There were
six cans OF day-old fry. We put three
cans IN each Ford and made the four mile

at night and Beaver Lake was back in
the woods fully three miles over an I'M
possible trail after dark.
As soon as we removed the fish from the
jiggly "Lizzies' and set them out on SOLID
ground they had 10 be stirred ana poured
not more than ten minutes to Heep them

thinking that II we couldn't keep our fry
alive until daylight we could stock the
cans before the night was far spent.
The remaining three were started through
the woods on a lumber wagon behind a
farmers team at daybreak. Some trip!
We drove over treetops as big as house
through auicksand that came up into the
wagon and over powders that hoisted the
wagon box clear Of the holsters First one
