PHOENIX-An even million baby
fish will have been turned loose, or
planted" in streams in the White
mountains and in Coconino and
Yavapai counties by the middle of
the coming year. d. E. Pettis,
state game warden has ordered that

states two hatcheries near Spring
erville, 100000 for January deliV-
cry and 100000 for April deliv-
cry
And thereby hangs the tale of the
fish egg as related by j. d. Greer,
deputy state game warden and Ari-
iona naturalist.
The state buys it's fish eggs, some
from Colorado and others from
points east The last lot came
from Massachusetts, $4,000 eggs in
.all, relatively a small shipment.
The egg-some containing embryo
mountain trout and some speckled
trout-come packed in ice and moss
to be carted to the hatcheries. The
one at Squirrel Springs only re-
Gently was completed The two es-
Establishments combined will accom-
'edate between 100000 and $780,
900 eggs.
The state must buy it's eggs be-
cause it has no parent stock" from
which to obtain the eggs and fer
tilizing substance. At hatcheries
equipped for this process, female
trout are stripped" of their eggs,
which are then fortified artificial
ly. Fertilized, the eggs are ready
for shipment and Matching.
Arrived at the hatchery, the eggs
are planted in 14-foot redwood
troughs through which runs water
of a temperature not to exceed 46
degrees Fahrenheit. At the old
hatchery nine miles from Spring
erVille, water from the south branch
of the Little Colorado river is used,
but it has to be cooled with ice.
AT the new hatchery, IL miles west
of Springerville, spring water of
the desired temperature is obtain
ed in sufficient quantities to sup
ply all the troughs in the build
ing.

isn't long before the future adver-
sary Of the rod-and-reel sportsman
begins to come to life. Ah eyed"
egg is one which bears tiny black
dot, surrounded by yellow circle.
Some eggs in the last batch bought
by the state were" eyed" when they
arrived and they began to hatch
within three days after they were
planted in the troughs which are
about foot deep and foot wide
and capable of accommodating some
40 or 80 thousand eggs.
The actual Matching of an egg is
a somewhat lengthy process. The
baby fish doesn't break it's shell,
wag it's tail and start looking for a
barbed fly AS matter of fact, the

7 sense. The soft substance which
constitutes the shell is the food on
which the Matching fish lives while
enroute.
