The attention of the public also has
been attracted during the past few
years particularly to the artificial
propagation Of the salmons Of the
Pacific coast.
Authorities claim that no other sal
mon in the world compares in size

they have attained weight of more

Zealand is the only country where its

forts have been made to establish 1t

States, but without permanent re-
suits. In some of the fresh-water

These activities have not been con-
fined, however, to the grown-ups, for
the younger generation has likewise
been engaged in getting ready for
this summers sport. ~
1t has been estimated that there are
more than two and half million citi-
zens of this country who enjoy the
sport Of fishing. This number does
not include the thousands who gain
their livelihood by alluring members
of the finny tribe from their lairs in
ocean, river or stream.
. During the past decade thesgeneral
public has come to realize that as q
food the fish occupies a most impor-
tant place on the health menu, and
during the last few years Gamers
throughout the country, by using Inn
proved methods, have been enabled
to place on the table at all seasons of
the year many varieties of delicious
fish. While the consumer is deprived
of the sport of catching his meal. he
nevertheless enjoys the food article,
and ofttimes speculates as to the
amount of fun he might have had II

"A NUMBER of years ago those who
direct the affairs Of the govern
ment realized that unless some aid
was given by Uncle Sam the fish sup
ply would become Inadequate. Some
of the men who possessed vision
worked out a plan by which the fish
might be protected and the spawn of
the mother fish so safeguarded that
the number of little ones might be
augmented as time went on.
It is to these men who conceived
the idea and to their successors who
have carried out the original plans,
adding from time to time new and
improved methods, that credit must
be given for the splendid work that
has been carried on for the past ten
years or SO. Had it not been for gov
