Another official expressed the

Catching Carp and Catfish.

, The most important thing in
catching carp and catfish is the
batting Of the fishing hole or the
fish basket. Fort Mill and other
York county citizens who fish in
Catawba river and other streams
in this section will therefore read
with interest the following rec
ipe for preparing their bait: Mix
u pint of flour with the same
quantity of meal. Stir in water
until the mixture thickens. Then
add lint cotton, torn to small bits.
The cotton holds the dough to-
gcther. Roll the dough into balls
the size of pigeon s eggs, or lar
ger, put them in kettle and boil
them five to ten minutes.
In rivers such as the Catawba
and in the creeks of this section
the dough ball never fails as a
lure for carp and catfish. 1t is
good bait even when the fish
ing hole or basket is not baited.
Another excellent lure for these
fish is soft new corn.
