For the United States there was
a decrease of about per cent in
the 1880 spring pig crop and for
the eleven Corn Belt States, which
includes Minnesota, the decrease
was about per cent.
The intentions of Minnesota
farmers to breed sows for this falls
narrowing as shown by this report
is for an increase Of about 10 per
cent compared with the fall of 1929

veys have, then the market supply
from this years spring pig crop
for the Corn Belt States will be but
little different from the supply
from the 1929 spring crop and
somewhat smaller than the supply
from the 1928 crop. It also seems
probable from this report for the
Corn Belt States that there will be
some reduction from last year in
the supply of hogs for market dur
ing the four months of June tt
September inclusive.

The June, 1880, Pig Survey Report
The 1880 spring pig crop in Mimi
esota is reported to be three tenths
of one per cent larger than one
year ago. This increase is due to
the fact that the number of pigs
saved per litter was SO this spring
compared with 81 per litter last
spring, as sows narrowed were only
$50 per cent as one year ago, &C
cording to Federal Statistician of
the Minnesota Cooperative Crop
Reporting Service. These data were
secured from farmers through the
aid of the Rural Carriers.

TIT 0LL q0THE OUTDOORS

/ verified only by Mr.. Gregg.
1928 was a dark year for the Be-
midi station. For the first time in
ten years Old Silverspot was not
taken. Although the number of eggs
of other and less famous fish had
increased in number the season was
not a success in the eyes of Mr..
Gregg and Jesse DcDonald, his as
sistant. Many were the conjectures
as to the fate of Old Silverspot.
Some maintained that she had been
netted; others that she had been
speared through the ice; while Sill
others declared that she had just
died of old age.
No reports had been circulated
of anglers catching such an enorm-
Gus fish. Hence in the hearts of the
pike crew there remained hope that
Silver Spot had not decided to
spawn up the river. The season Of
1929 was repetition of that of
1928. No Silver Spot appeared. A
good take" of spawn did not bring
happiness to Sheridan Gregg and
his crew. Only the return of Silver
Spot could have made it a success
full season. AS often happens about
the departed, incredible stories be-
gan to appear about her life and
her death. Some claimed that she
had attained an enormous weight of
over Is pounds, that she was sterile
and would never again produce
spawn. Frequently stories appeared
among the anglers that she had
been found dead around the shore
of Wolf lake. Another story had it
that she was positively identified
as having been taken in the net of
Finlander lover on the range"
However on April %, a long dis
lance telephone call was received
from Bemidji. An excited voice, in
fact so excited, that the gist of the
conversation could not be under
stood, betrayed the fact that Old
Silverspot had been taken. A hur-
ried-up trip to Bemidji, where Mr..
Gregg was met, confirmed the
story that on the morning of the
18th, when the nets between Cass
lake and Lake Andrusia were clear
ed, there was found Minnesota's
most famous Old Silverspot-the
Mother of a Million. Word soon
spread around Cass lake and Bemi-
dji that Old Silverspot would be on
exhibition on the following day.
When Mr.. Gregg, accompanied
by Carl U. Nelson, in charge of
fish distribution for Minnesota,
and Deane Rundlett, acting as Of
fetal photographer, arrived on the
scene, fully 500 persons were as
sembled to pay tribute to the omth-
er of a million. There before a
crowd of onlookers, and excited
sportsmen, she was carefully taken
from the nets and placed in the
large galvanized tub. Her size can
best be gathered by comparing her
length with the width of the tub
which Is almost three feet across.
Her weight had grown in II years
from IL to 17h pounds, and her
eggs, stripped and Matched separ-
ately in the Bemidji hatchery, will

again produce over quarter of a
million active baby pike. She again
swims the waters of Lake Andrusia
and bears upon her broad tail fin,
another punch mark emblematic Of
her service to the fishermen Of
Minnesota. Although her age is
estimated to be about 30, which
would be almost the maximum
length of life for a mere fish, thou
sands and thousands of Minnesota
sportsmen will be glad to wish her
another 30 years in the service Of
Minnesota.
Gentlemen, a toast to Old Silver
spot-the Mother of a Million.

What is the value of fish? This
is a question that has often been
asked, especially by violators who
have been arraigned before a mag
istrate for the violation of the
game and fish code. 1t is again and
again asked by the man who takes
a long expensive fishing trip and
returns with little or no catch. But
Minnesota has a fish whose value
is almost inestimable. A fish who
has become known to the members
of the Department of Game and
Fish over a period of at least II
years, and fish in which upon the
resumption of it's relations to the
department of Game and Fish is a
signal for almost as much a cele-
bration as the advent of an heir in
the home of a last years newlywed.
Such a fish is Old Silverspot-
Mother of a Million
In 1918 DR.. Thaddeus Surber
while operating the state fish hat
cherry and pike spawn taking stat
ed to take in his nets an enormous
pike-perch or wall-eyed pike as it
is known to Minnesota's anglers.
This fish was unusually large and
especially noticeable because of a
large silver spot just ahead of her
dorsal fin. Noting the unusual size
and character of her spawn, DR..
Surber decided to hatch her eggs
separately. So therefore with great
care her eggs were placed in hat
ching jars and given a position of
honor in the Bemidji hatchery. His
report of that year tells us that
297, 900 baby pike were the 1918 con-
tribution to fish life by Old Silver
spot. At that time her weight was
approximately II pounds including
the spawn and she was just over
80 inches in length.
Year after year the pike crews
operating between Wolf lake and
Lake Bemidji have looked for and
taken Old Silverspot. In 1928 DR..
Surber became superintendent of
fish propagation and his place at
the Bemidji hatchery was taken by
Sheridan Gregg, well known war
den of Pine county. Mr.. Gregg, the
first season that he took Old Silver
spot proceeded to doubly identify
this famous pike by punching
hole in her tail fin, which of course
did not isjure the fish nor interfere
with her locomotion. Each spring
her appearance would mark a per-
Tod of celebration for Mr.. Gregg and
the crews, and each year Old Sill
verspot would be returned to the
water with another punch mark in
her tail. In fact, Mr.. Gregg would
have us believe she seemed to be
proud of her service stripes, and on
one occasion when the stripping
operator returned her to the water
without remembering to put in the
punch mark she was seen to swim
distractedly around in circles until
this oversight was corrected. OF
course this latter incident can be

Former Champion Has Little

BY SPARROW McGANN.

n YEW YORK, July 9.-Primo Car
N nera's victory over George Cod
frey has drawn the first I'M
eouivoca: statement from Jack
Dempsey as to his comeback plans.
Dempsey would like to meet the Goliath
of the ring, and wants but short
period of hard training before making
up his mind about returning to the
ring.
It is no secret that Dempsey does
not think much OF Camera or OF Max
Schmeling, and would consioer gooc
sized offer to swap blows with either
of them. A meeting between the OLD
Manassa rnauler and Camera would
probably attract $2,000,0Oo gate IN
Chicago.
Dempsey has been watching the prog
ress of Carnera with more than casual
interest. He realizes the italian giant
is a bigger attraction than was Luis
Firpo and that a meeting with HIM Is
the only match likely to top the fgures
he made in his second meeting with
Gene Tunney. a.
Jack Dempsey was good fighter. He
is still a good business man. with
keen eve to business, Jack would we!.

while this may not come to pass TINS

to prevent Primo from making a trip to
the other side and preparing for the
bout with the biggest attraction IN

Camera. in his fight with George

would be a different story. Rumors to
