most constructive step yet taken in the
restoration of the worlds commerce. .
Other constructive events included
the Federal Reserve Board resume Of
the state of trade showing a vast i'm

OYSTER INDUSTRY PROMISING
Big Packing Season Looms as Della
ware and Chesapeake Bay TOngers
Report BiYalyes Moro Plentiful

Every indication points to the oys-
ter dredging season in lower Delaware |
and the Chesapeake Bays being the |
best in long term of years. For the |
same reason that the past summer |
was a bountiful one for crabs, the oys-
ters are fat this fall and oyster pack !
ing houses which have not operated |
for several years are preparing to
open up and provide employment for
thousands of men and women during
the winter. A survey of the Eastern
shore of Maryland, lower counties of
Delaware and upper counties of Vir-
ginia all bring the same report. The
Oystermen and packers are expecting
the best season for years. During the
summer there was much rain and this,
they say, helped the young oysters to
grow. 1t wasn't so hot and the usual
diseases that have in other years raw
aged the beds have been conspicuously
missing this year. At Cambridge, Md,
where many oyster packing houses are
located there are some new plants to
open this fall. St. Michaels, Md, is
also going to operate oyster packing
| plants. The great bulk, however, of
the oyster industry is located at Girls
field, Nd. Here there are several
hundred boats which are primed for
the oyster dredging season which
opens on October Is. Many boats,
however, have been longing for oys-
ters and the plentiful supply Of BIZ
valves resulted in some of the lower
Delaware packing plants opening last
week for the canning of oysters. The
flavor of the oysters is fine this fall,
and the oysters show every indication
of having enjoyed a speedy growth in
the past year which also adds to their
delicacy and taste, according to oys-
termen. There are several new oyster
packing plants to open at Crisfield this
fall and it is predicted that there will
be plenty of work for all who wish
it this winter. The help problem is
one that the packers say is their hard
est one. The crab season, which is
drawing to a close, was one of the best
for many years. The open winter last
year resulted in many billions of crus-
taceans being produced in and about
the two thousand miles of water front
on Chesapeake Bay and there were
plenty of crabs for every one WHIT
went after them. The crab packing
plants were operated at a profit thi!
year-the first year for several sea
sons.

culture and the scholarship is just as
good as in the state college.
If we are not mistaken the average
of state aid for state institutions is
around 500 per pupil and about ST
per white child in the common
schools. The proportion is out of
joint.
The committee does not propose to
reduce any the amount given common
schools. 1t will take the amount ask
ed for by the state department Of ed
ucation to carry out the laws enacted
by the legislature, and until those are
repealed or modified it would be bad
faith with the children of the state
not to provide the means to carry
them out.
The investigation and the report 'oy
this legislative committee will do
good, because it will give the people
a clear insight into the different de-
partments of the government and an
opportunity to see where the money
goes. 1t should have a large public
ity. The Herald and News hopes to
print from time to time the synopsis
of the report.
