RALLY TO OYSTERS AID.
Growers and Shippers Are Urged to
Advocate House Bill.

Port Norris, y. J., March l-Protec-
ton of the natural oyster beds and plant
ed grounds Of Delaware Bay from pol
luton by oil was the chiet problem con-
sidered at large gathering Of oyster
planters and shippers in the Gem
Theatre here.
Professor Thuriow Q. Nelson, Rut-
gers College. biologist of the New jersey
Board OF Shellhsherles, gave an Illus
trated talk on the life history Of the
oyster and cited the experience OF the
New England States, especially Rhode
Island, showing how, with the indus
trial expansion during the world war,
the waters had been poisoned by factory
wastes and oils.
lie quoted figures showing that in
Rhode Island from an average daily
production of 10000 gallons OF oysters
in 1913, the total average output per
day in 1920 was less than 1000 gallons.
During this same period the revenue to
that State from rentals of oyster grounds
had been reduced from about $4,000
per year to less than $4,000.
The industry at Rarltan Bay, y. J.,
he said, shows a similar trend.
Much emphasis was laid by Professor
Nelson on the danger to the oyster
grounds and especially the natural beds
Of Delaware Bay from the oil liberated
by oil tankers and ol-burning vessels.
All oyster growers and dealers were
urged to write TO Congressman Radcliffe
/ and their own representatives IN Wash
/ ington in support of House bill 10,238,
which is intended TO control the releas-
/ ing of oil in the navigable waters of the
United States.
All oyster growers and shippers were
urged to combine and cooperate to aid
in the protection of their interests in
Delaware Bay.
