OFFICIALS TAKE UP
FISHING INDUSTRY
Bureau Says Development Along
Potomac Rests With
Sportsmen.

With Maryland and Virginia State
commissions engaged in a conference
to reach a common understanding on
the conduct of the fishing industry in
the Potomac, Bureau of Fisheries Off
Gals yesterday expressed the opinion
that the great development of the
river below Washington in the future
rests with the sportsman rather than
the commercial fisherman.
The Virginia and Maryland shores,
according to DR.. Lewis Radcliffe. depu-
ty commissioner, could be made into
a paradise for anglers and hunters.
and attention paid to the development
of this phase would mean much more
for the development of the territory
than promotion OF commercial fishing.
The fishing industry of the Potomac
below Washington, it is shown by Blu
rsau of Fisheries statistics. Is not or
much commercial consequence. The
chief product is shad. which are caught
in nets and sold, for the most part, in
the Washington market.
Million Pounds Taken I'm 1926.
In 1926 a total of ,034,20 pounds
were Melted from both sides of the
river. This catch consisted of 336,662
individuals and was valued at SILL
i.
believes, add comparatively little to
this total. The oyster beds of the
lower Potomac, which both States now
seek to develop, have not proved of
great value in the past. The shad
catch and it's value varies greatly from
wear to year The banner year since
1896, the period during which Stats
tics have been kept, was 1922. when
there was a total catch of 3,115,571
pounds, valued at $4,000.
The development of angling means
far MORE, DIR. Radcliffe believes, and
should be stressed by both States.
II cannot recall any stretch Of river
near great city which has been so
little developed for the sportsman
DIR. Radcliffe said. I'VE are apt to
lose our perspective on the actual
value of such development in respect
to the value of river property The
development of both the Maryland
and Virginia shores is held back by
the difficulty of transportation: A
hard-surfaced road down the river
would work wonders in a short time.
Station Often Inaccessible.
"Our own Potomac River station is
less than Is miles below Washington.
In Summer it can be reached by a
drive of rs miles over poor roads. and
in Winter it is almost impossible to
get there. 1t is only within the past
few years that anybody has realized
the possibilities of this section"
Not only must transportation ia
cilities he developed. DR.. Radcliffe be-
lieves, but care must be taken lest
the pollution from Washington in
jures the fish. There is some evidence
that this is happening, he said, al
though it cannot be stated positively.
In the value of this countryside for
the sportsman. he said, fishing is the
prime factor, but is supplemented by
fine hunting in the lower Potomac
marshes.

ems Clubs, built Der report, given at
the recent biennial council meeting,
held in Grand Rapids, Mich. Mrs.
Burnham said:
Three years of study, three years
OF thinking and dreaming very little
but the problems and hopes of home
makers have led me to the conclusion
that these problems may all be
grouped under two headings and that
their solutions are possible and at
hand.
Harrington Emerson says home
making is the most complex of all pro-
fessions: success in it the most diff
cult. because it must be attained by
women working alone with many pur-
poses Letters come to me almost
daily telling the same story of seem
ing failure. of Encouragement and dis
appointment. One woman described
herself as the oollege-bred. helpless,
hopeless mother OF four children, and
through four pages of walls and woes
told her story of inetficiency, ending
by saying:
The dog is in the bathtub,
The cat is in the lake,
The baby's in the garbage pail
What difference does it make"
"The first need of today'S home
makers is definite, practical assistance
in home management, with all which
that implies. Our General Federation
specialists are sending out pamphlets
with advice to those who ask for it,
but the great difficulty is that the
ones who need it most do not ask for
it. Besides the material which we
are sending out. there are two sources
OF help that are valuable and should
receive our encouragement and assist
ance.
The first source is found in the
books for homemakerS which are APP
pearings Almost weekly. Many of these
are splendidly helpful, and it would
seem a real contribution from the
federation if a list Of such books
could be sent to State chairmen at fire.

it be transmitted to the women of

possible.
"A plan Of cooperation between the

the library shelves, and the newer
ones being conspicuously displayed.
so that they will attract the attention
of borrowers who are interested.
Active support, both verbal and,
