How Oysters Accumulate.

All oysters sponge in July and Au-
gust. One oyster sponges thousands
of little ones; these little ones all go
adrift with the flood and ebb tides, in
dependent of each other. For this
little baby oyster to exist 1t has to
glide against something, so it can
stick there and form a she'll over it
to become an oyster. If this little
baby oyster does not come in con-
tact with something. so 1t can form a
she'll over 1t in a reasonable time, 1T
dies or is destroyed as food for small
fish.
Why Oysters Are Decreasing.
Thousands of bushels of oysters are
annually taken from the Chesapeake
bay, the Jamse river, York, Patuxent
and Potomac rivers. The shells, after
the oyster is removed, are used for
building roads and other purposes
The supply Of oysters Is decreasing
every year because the shells are used
for other purposes instead of being
planted in the bay and rivers By all
means. these shells should be put back
on the oyster beds, so the little sponge
could glide against them and exist.
natural rocks and oyster beds as the
fertilizer Is to the farm to get pro-
duction. If oyster planting Is not
undertaken on a big scale in the near
future it won't be long before the
oyster will become extinct.
| Oyster shells can be purchased from
shuckers at s cents a bushel, which
it cheap enough, but the trouble and
perhaps the big obstacle in planting
these shells on the oyster beds.is the
scarcity of help. These men are de-
manding and getting as high as $3.50
a month. and these tongers are ask
ing 80 cents and 81 a bushel for salt
water oysters 1t takes three years
for an oyster to mature, and it is
against the law Of both Maryland
ond Virginia to take from Che water
an oyster less than two and one-quar-
ter inches in length

list of daughters include year records
up to over 100 lbs. with number
over 80 lbs. in seven days. At least
four of his daughters have been made
grand champions at state fairs, one
daughter being grand champion at
the Waterloo Dairy Cattle Congress
in 1920. Spring Brook Bess Burke
is known as the greatest mother Of the
breed. The Bess Burke's family is
noted for its size and constitution, as
well as for its great yearly produc-
ton. We are told that the average
weight of Spring Brook Bess Burke
and her three oldest daughters was
over a ton each, but with all this
great size, there was no coarseness,
the quality of the Bess Burke's being
proverbial.
Sank Centre breeders are to be
congratulated upon these sires for
they are animals of outstanding in
dividuality.

Minnesota Game and Fish Commits
sioner Issues Orders Closing Sank
Lake to Fish Houses

The Minnesota Game and Fish de-
partment threw monkey wrench in
to the plans of a number of Sank
Centre citizens when letter was
sent to Chief of Police Joseph Miller
of this city, under date of Nov. 23rd,
conveying the information that Sank
Lake has been placed on list of
lakes closed to the use of fish houses.
The letter states "That there has
been no petition filed in the depart
ment, requesting that Stuk Lake be
closed to the use of fish houses, but
the commissioner says that he under
stands this is contemplated by parties
who are dissatisfied with the order
closing Sank Lake to the use of
whitefsh nets" The letter goes on to
say that:
cit would seem that in the interest
of a real conservation of fish in Sank
Lake that where it is extensively
fished during the summer season. it
should be closed to winter fishing in
any manner except possibly angling.
There possibly would be no real OBJ
lection to the use of either nets or fish
houses in Sank Lake provided prop
er supervision thereof could be had,
but we find that this is impossible.
81 note you say that the abuses
which have crept in are because
of the use Of whitefsh nets, but / am
of the opinion also that the abuses
can creep in when the use of fish
houses is permitted without supervis-
ion. It has just about come to the
point where this department will have
to either close many of the mosi
popular lakes to the use Of fish hous-
es and in some instances whitefish
nets, or refuse to stock any of the
lakes which are SO extensively fished.
In order to keep up the supply Of
fish in any lake it is necessary that

Gasoline Consumption Is 36l
Gallons Car-Average
Minnesota Ratio on Motor Vehicle
Basis Lower than That Report
ed by an Eastern State

Minnesota gasoline consumption
this year is at the rate of 361 gallons
for each motor vehicle in the state,
assuming that all gasoline was used
for automobile fuel. The state oil
inspector reports a total of 162, 631, :
ZOO gallons of gasoline and the secre-
ktary Of state places motor vehicle
at about 100000 for
the year.
The recent gasoline investigation
by the state department of agricul-
ture brought finding, however, that
the average motor vehicle owner in
Minnesota pays about 500 a year for
gasoline-uses about $50 gallons.
The figures are called interesting
in state highway bulletin this week
in spite of the different conclusions.
The highest rate indicates that q
cent tax on gasoline will cost the av-
erage. car owner not to exceed SO a
year and will mean upwards of 49,
100000 of extra highway betterments
every year to cut his gasoline, tire

points out: Then is the further point
that tourists will contribute probably
100000 year good roads funds
under the proposed painless tax"
Reporting that automobile con-
sumption of gasoline averages $50
gallons this year against $40 gallons
last year in that state, the South Car
Dina highway bulletin claims good
roads credit for the saving. Carried
out further, the Minnesota bulletin
comments, the comparison would in
dictate that roads in this state are
equal if not superior to those in
South Carolina where large highway
bond issues are used, and a Scent
gasoline tax is being collected.
A slight increase of just FIVE gal
Ions per car in Minnesota gasoline
consumption this year over last is
attributed to increases in the num-
bers of big cars and trucks and tourist
cars, and the greater use of all cars
on the better highways, by good
roads boosters who maintain that it
must be admitted that road better
ments are steadily reducing gasoline
consumption by motor vehicles.

the third by agriculture. the only hon

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

In connection with the 1928 sale
of Christmas Seals, DR.. C. l.. SEQ
field, president of the Minnesota
Public Health Association calls to the
attention of the people of Mime
sofa the wonderful progress made in
the fight against tuberculosis.
/ DIR. Scofield says:
"The fight against tuberculosis is
showing definite and concrete re-
suits. In the past twenty years the
death rate in the United States, as a
whole, from this disease has been
cut in half.
In Minnesota as compared with the
tuberculosis death rate of 1911
(when it reached it's peak, the fig
ures show that we. saved 1,145 lives
in 1922.
Seals sell for penny piece.
Surely nearly every one can buy
some and take part in this great
work
Just think what 1,1,45 more deaths
from one disease in one year would
have meant, and then consider that
the majority would have been be-
tween the ages of twenty and forty
You will be assisting in this great
work if you buy some Christmas
Seals. ~ 9,
DR.. Scofeld further states that it
is his sincerest hope that everyone
will assist in the fight against tuber-
culosis and other diseases by pur-
chasing some Christmas Seals.
