The cooperative fish nursery arouses the interest of the public in the production and protection of fish, brings financial support from THOSE MOST INTERESTED, reduc- es the bureaus distribution costs, insures the rearing of a larger number of fry to the fngerling sizes. sinplifies the distribution of such fish, and promises to be one of the greatest advances made in recent years to keep our streams stocked
 Durin the past year the output of with trout.
 the bureaus totaled 5,232,O0O,OOO. CItre were allotments of over 67, 0O0.OOO to State authorities and shipments of 3,716,OOO fish and eggs to foreign countries"
 fWonder how many millions of fry the bureau has turned loose since the inception of the hatchery system in Alaska. We used to hear of IS, OOC.0O0 fry turned loose at the time and the only results that the bureau can show at this time are depleted rcd salmon streams and fine hatcher cry systems with eight foot board walks, waste of good meal, and fat tened gulls along of course with the thousands of dollars wasted.
 The only thing that the Swivel chair" fish experts under and over the Irish Lord in the Bureau of fish cries can point at as a success is the complete fizzle of their job of con serving the salmon.
