HOOVER ASKS FISH
SUPPLY Be SAVED
Makes Appeal for Increase in
Resources in Eastern
Waters.

Sea food resources along the Allan.
tic and Gulf coasts. now dwindling
year by year, can and ought to be
maintained and increased, Secretary
Hoover said yesterday in opening a spe-
cial conference of representatives of
States concerned. He pleaded for
State and Federal cooperation, de-
claring something definite and real"
should be done to save certain of
our Atlantic Coast fisheries from final
destruction"
1.-The difficulty of the Atlantic sea.
board rests with the divided author
ity as between the States. Fish do
not recognize State lines, and no
one State can of it's own action give
adequate protection TO any single one
of our Atlantic Coast species.
Thirty years ago the annual take
of shad in the States from Georgia
to New York was over $4,000, 900
pounds per annum.
Huge Decrease Noted.
But from overfishing the catch has
steadily decreased until during the
past few years it has averaged less
than 13000,oO0 pounds per annum.
They sell for about S1.75 per fish.
Towns and villages which formerly
thrived upon them are growing poor
er and poorer by the loss of livelihood.
Now here comes the sardonic
humor. The Federal Bureau of Fish
cries transplantS young shad into
California, where there was never
shad before. Under the careful pro-
lection of the California Fish Com
mission they thrived, until this year
California will ship about 100000
pounds on ice 5000 miles into the
Atlantic seaboard States. where they
are solemnly sold as the great and
rare delicacy of the Atlantic waters.
I'VE could tell the same story with
regard to Holsters, crabs and oysters
and sturgeon and salmon all along the
Atlantic Coast"

FARMERS ARE MUCH BETTER OFF
THAN FOR YEARS, BABSON FINDS
Prices Higher-Foreign Demand and Exports
Larger-ALIed Industries Also Improved.
Good Outlook for Rest of 1925.

tional Harvester Company, which sold
for S5 a year ago, Is now selling at
about 107. The fertilizer companies
are also showing the effect of the bet
ter farming situation. American Ag-
ricultural Chemical stock, which was
selling at year ago is now sell
ing at about 90 and Virginia Caro-
lima Chemical, which was selling at
II year ago, is now selling at Az.
The Virginia Carolina Chemical first
mortgage bonds, which have been in
default about two years and which
went down to about so, are now SELL
ing at go.
Farmers Lift Auto Sales.
The recent figures on automobile
sales reflect an improved condition in
the farming situation. The great fluc
tuation in the new car sales is due
primarily to farmers purchases. The
previous high figures for sales were
due to purchases by the farmers; the
falling off in sales last year was due
to the farmers dropping out of the
market; and the increased sales at
the moment are due to the farmers
coming back again. The sales Of the
mail order stores such as Sears Roe
buck Co., Montgomery Ward Co. and
others show similar results. Nineteen
twenty-five will see no boom in the
farming industry, and the farmers
themselves should not wish such
boom, as they would ultimately suf
fer from it the same way they suf
fered from the high war prices.
On the other hand, the farmers con-
dition is better today than it was
year ago, and 1925 will be for the
farming industry a distinctly better
year than 1924, provided the farmer
doesn't plow up too much land and
again kill the goose that lays the
golden egg.

Last year American, Canadian | and Mexican border tracks hung up slo,S25.a46 for equine competition down the homestretch, the largest winnings ever offered in modern records of the sport. The average price per head of the 500 yearlings which changed hands at auctions during the year accordingly mounted 10 $2,2S0.39. which was within $50 of the record set in 1921.
 In 1908, the last good year in rac- ing before the depression caused by hostile legislation. purses amounted to '$4,351,691. Purses did not ap- proach that mark again until more than ten years later, when racing began to come back in 1919. They then reached s4,s42.s65. Increased offerings in Maryland and Kentucky the following year carried the 1920 total on up to s7,77S,407. Purses have been climbing annually ever since. I
 Meanwhile the yearling market operated in sympathy. The average price for 745 colts sold in 1908 was s544, and s412 for 691 sold in 1909. The slump of the next decade in- .cluded new low of s23o for 39o youngbloods sold in 1911, and de- pressed the yearly averages to It, tie better than half the figures quoted before.
 The market began 10 strengthen in 1917, first because Of an influx of French bred colts. many of which were shipped over by Clarence Mackay. Mrs. H, B. Duryea and 'ther Americans. The average that ear advanced to s1,oS0 for 643 Jlts sold.
