OYSTER NOT YET

in the Chesapeake.

Oyster conditions in the Chesapeake
Bay and its tributaries are not favor

TO the Conservation Commission by
r. t. Truitt, of the Bureau Of Fish
cries, Department Of Commerce, at
Washington. The season for taking
oysters will open on September ].
In his report to Chairman Vickers,
of the commission, Mr.. Truitt says:
al regret that | can not make a good
report on the result of our trip to the
Western Shore 10 overhaul the oyster
bottoms there Conditions in that sec
tion of the bay are not as good as might
have been expected. oysters being scarce.

'spat' was found. and little il any
growth. all of which means that after n
good days work by the large oyster dredg-
ing boats the entire shore from above
Plum Point to Flag Pond, below Gov
ernor's Run, will be cleaned up This
strip includes all the state reserve area,
with the experiments thereon.
Now this does not mean that trans

upon which the transplanted oysters
died shortly after the planting all the
seed from the fresher waters up the bay
matured and were removed by the oys-
termen frequenting that locality. They
were of much finer quality and of
larger size than the Upper Bay dis
tricts afford Since oyster life in the
territory whence these seeds came is
practically extinct, you will preceiye
with me that the policy was q good

THEHOME AND THE STORE.

One of the larger of New York's i'm
portant dry goods shops advertised for
saleswomen recently. This is not unusual
for there is a dearth of good saleswome .
The unusual part was the item that in
formed the girls that the training they
ould get in the sh p would be. .excelle
for their future life In a home Of their
own.
"As a training for managing home
successfully, or for a business future, the
advantage of store experience Is con-
siderable. Women do the greater part of
the family purchasing, and the first essen
tial of good home manager Is the ability
20 buy wisely. Where can she gain so broad
and accurate knowledge OF qualities and
values as IN a good store!
That was the paragraph that seemed
to me important. 1t is true. 1t would
be the best sort of training for a clever
girl TO serve in fine store for q few years.
even for a few months. She would get a
good salary, she would have the best of
training. she would come into close con-
tact with human nature, and If she wished
TO continue the work, she would stand a
good chance of rising In time to a real
first class position as a buyer or a man
ager.
A great many girls do not expect to
have to stay in business. They are going
10 marry and have homes to take care
of Ii is well for such girls, who must earn
their living for a few years, to think
seriously OF the opportunities to be found
as saleswomen. The girl with good man
ners and an attractive personality viii
soon forge ahead, if she takes her work
seriously, and all that she learns will be
an advantage TO her, whatever she elects
20 do later. This is far more true than OF
the Office position. Nowadays the hours
are good and there is vacation In summer,
besides the half holiday Saturday, pre-
c,sely as IN the Office work. A finer grade
of girls is already taking up the work
and most OF the young women employed
are of the type to know and to work
with. Improvements IN conditions will
continue as more and more of the shops
come to recognize the advertising i'm
portant TO themselves of the right sort
Of service. In order TO get that service
they must offer the right inducements.

tunity. 1t may prove just the thing.

The canner thinks the whole tomato
situation in Maryland resolves itself into
the problem OF meeting the competition
Of the Middle West and the Far West.
John s. Gibbs, Jr., president Of the Gibbs
Preserving Company snid yesterday IL
would be suicidal for Maryland Gamers to
cut the throat Of the tomato grower, as
Is per cent Of the Maryland Gamers
outside of Baltimore pack only tomatoes,
and the staple pack Of the Baltimore
canner is tomatoes.
The Maryland canncr is tomato
packer" Mr.. Gibbs snid, "and it is
natural that he should do all he can
to save and increase his staple crop in
stead Of trying TO kill it or starve the
grower. We know that the grower is
losing this year, and VIC know we are
losing. The canner is not 20 blame, the
farmer is not to blame.
Economic conditions are the cause
and will pot last The present price is
far below cost; price below cost cam
not last if an industry continues.
CAS- to the future, the Maryland can
Middle and Far West or quit II is abb
solutely certain we cannot back indef-
initely at loss The farmer also must
meet this competition. The Maryland
farmer figures that he cant raise tomatoes
proftably at less than 40 or so cents q
basket. Western growers selling their
tomatoes at 25 cents q basket. II seems TO
me this discrepancy is great and that the
Maryland figure is rather high
"Some factors Of the present situa-
ton are the surplus of the 1919 pack
still in the hands OF packers, the sale
of Government surplus, scarcity OF cans
and tight money. Tight money has had
the double effect Of forcing some can
ners TO bring out their stocks and Of
preventing the jobbers from buying in
the usual quantities. But these will not
have permanent effect on the situation.
Although we both lose, and some Of
us heavily this year, ] believe conditions
will become better and TINT Maryland
will continue 10 be one Of the leading to-
ma'o growing and packing states. !"
