All the eggs OF these species which are
hatched IN the State hatcheries are removed
from ripe fish which have been caught by

Economic Conditions in
 Lower California Worse

MEXICO CITY, Oct L. The economic situation in the southern districts of Lower California is de- scribed as intolerable by travellers recently returning from that region. Rainfall has been exceedingly light in that region for the past three years and the scarcity of pasture has caused the death of hundreds of heads of livestock, the main in dustry
 The inhabitants are said to be in destitute circumstances which have been aggravated by recent Federal order prohibiting foreign vessels from transporting merchandise be- tween Mexican ports. This order which was aimed to protect the na- tiOnal merchant marine has yir- tually isloated the region as only two Mexicon vessels are engaged in coastwise trade there and their visits are at many weeks intervals.
 Protests to President Obregon by the inhabitants of the district arc expected to relieve the situation.
