HOME LIFE OF
YOUNG FISHES

tConfinurd from Fun PagfI

lCOHftHued from FUS EaytJ
the Bureau of Fisheries Station a
Woods Hole, Mass.
In these Investigations the coop
Grating institutions are particular,
concerned with the study Of the ear
" stages in the life history Of thu
various species, while the genera
biology, growth, migratiOns, etc, o
the adult fish is being investigated
by the regular staff of the Bureau O
Fisheries. The young-fish studies
especially involve the question of To-
eating the spawning grounds, of de
termining their biological and eco
nOmic importance by a study of the
success or failure of the young
broods to survive, and of attempting
to discover the reasons for the
varying degrees of success or fail
ure, and Herewith for the tiuctua-
tions in the abundance of the spc-
cies.
An important phase of the work is
the endeavOr to determine to what
extent the relationship between the
various separate spawning grounds
in regard to the part they take in
producing the adult stock of fish
may be regarded as constant. and
to what extent il is subject to tenn
porary fluctuations.
Information on these points is
especially needed when any prOtec-
tive measures are contemplated, as
protection cannot, of course, be eff
ficiently applied as long as the main
source of the adult stock upon which
the fisheries are based remaius un-
known. 1t is also obviously futile
and merely causing loss of in
come to protect any spawning
ground which consistently fails to
produce significant brood.
One of the most important results
of the previous two years work has
been to show that apparently con-
sistently unsuccessful spawning
ground for one of the commercially
most important species is to be
found within the Delaware Bay.
Other observations of great inter-
est have been made on the surpris-
ing amount of difference in the
young fish from year to year and
from locality to locality, or even
within the. same time and place, in
regard to size. growth and abund-
ance. Thus, for instance, the young
Spot in the Delaware Bay in 1880
apparently grew much faster and
reached much larger size on the
Delaware side of the bay than on the
New Jersey side. and the fish from
the two sides afterwards appear to
play quite different roles in the COM
meTCial catches.
The young Sea-Bass found in the
Delaware Bay region in 1929 was
much smaller when first obtained.
and grew more slowly, than the
young fish collected around Woods
Hole at the same time, and so on.
Similar results have been obtained
for a number of species, and it is
for the purpose of further extending
these observations on the young
fish that an expansion of the inves-
legations is now being planned.
Professor Parr has left for the
field to work out program for the
increased cruising operations.

CAN POLITICS TEACH FARMING!

Politics, undiscOuraged by many
failures, is still trying to tell the
farmers how to run their business.
A growing group of legislators have
suddenly turned their attention to
prohibiting the organization of farm
corporations, apparently in the be-
lief that corporation flaming is a
deadly peril requiring an immedi-
ate scOtching.
The Kansas legislature, for in
stance, has Just passed law which
absolutely prohibits the Organiza-
tion of any farm corporations in
that State. Senator Capper agitated
in favor of the law before it's pass
age, and Justify approved its enact
ment
But the real truth. according to
Thomas b. CathCart, the eminently
practical and plain-spOken editor
of the Country Home, is that cor
pOratiOn farming is not now an i'm
pOrtant practical question in this
country. The overwhelming ma
iority of farms are run by owners
or renters. The coTpOrate-owned

in number and output.
still, ,anti-corp0ratiOn agitation al
ways makes good political talk"
comments Mr. Cathcart. But real
danger lies in its spread to other
States than Kansas. Corporations
have always been the objects of pre-
judice. Some have been good, some
bad But if American farmers find
that they are happier, more prosper
Gus and freer by managing their af-
fairs through corporations, they
will establish corporations. The de-
cisiOn will be made by farmers and
not by legislators Farmers will be
by their own interests and
nothing else. If farmers want cor
poration farms they will find ways
of repeating or circumventing the
laws. The entire economic history
of our country proves this.
propaganda against corporate
farming is as unnecessary today as
Big Bill Thompsons campaign in
Chicago against King George V.
There are enough real agricultural
problems in this country to call
forth all the intelligence and good
will which farmers and all other
classes possess. When a politician
begins to stir up the embers of an
3ient- prejudice, he merely attempts
o divert attention from issues
which actually affect the lives and
welfare of the people he preteds to
serve. 1t is political humbuggery."

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 QN.SO
If the market fails to break

Marked Improvement Seen in
Sentiment, However, by
Iron Age Summary

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 0N.SJ.
A further slight rise in steel
production. mainly in the Pitts
burgh districts, and a marked
Improvement in sentiment, re-
sulting partly from rising prices
for grains and cotton and the
innminence of enlarged autolno-
bile manufacturing schedules,
have aroused expectations that
November may bring an upturn
in steel operations after a de-
cline that has been continuous
since last March, according to
the weekly Iron Age summary
for release tomorrow.
Gain Only 1 Per Cent
It points out that although
the steel industry is restraining
It's optimism in view Of past dis
appointments, it sees for the
first time in months of posi-.
bility of moderately better busi-
ness.
Steel ingot operations are esti.
mated this week at 80 per cent
of capacity for the country as
whole against 20 per cent last
week and % per cent the week
before. Further gains are likely
to come from automobile ton
mage now being released.
The slowing down of the de-
cline in iron and steel output in
October is shown by the blast
furnace figures, last months
average daily rate having dropped
only 2.8 per cent below that OF
September, while the decline in
the latter month from August
was about Sc per cent. The
daily output in October was 81
848 tons, against 38,964 tons in
September.
Months Total Up
The months total Of 1,173,233
tons was slightly above that of
September because Of one more
working day. The october daily
rate was the lowest since Septem-
ber, 1921, and the 10 furnaces in
blast on November also made a
new low record since September
l, 1921.
For the 10 months of this year.
the decline in pig iron produc-
ton has been AZ per cent, as COM
pared with 1880.
The Iron Age composite prices
are unchanged at 2.116 cents q
pound for finished steel, SIS q

PRICE TILT HITS
CIGARETTES

With the single exception of
1920. production of cigarettes will
show a decrease this year for the
first time since the industry be-
came important, it is pointed out
by the Brookmire Economic Ser
vice, Inc. which expresses the
opinion that higher cigarette
prices are a more important fac
tor in the decline than the busi-
ness depression.
An interesting feature of pre-
sent tobacco statistics, it is OBJ
served, is the rather large in.
crease being shown now in the
consumption of snuff and of
manufactured tobaccos. Snuff.
which moved up to a new high
level in 1922, the first year fol-
lowing the post war depression,
has seen more consumption each
year since that time than In any
year prior to 1922.
Unlike the consumption of
snuff. manufactured tobaccos, as
distinguished from cigarettes, de-
clined prior to and during the
post war depression and have
never since reached their previous
status. The increasing emphasis
on smoking tobacco now being
made by the major tobacco COM
panies will bear watching, it is
said.

there was a considerable differ

IN NATIVE
GASOLINE

The trend of natural gasoline
production, consistently upward
since its beginning, showed a
marked reversal in 1880, when the
output failed to Surpass the 1929
total. The production in 1880
amounted to 2,210,494,000 gallons
as compared with 2,233, ,688, 900
gallons in 1929, decrease of 10
per cent, according to the United
States Bureau of Mines, Depart
ment of Commerce.
In spite of this decline, the
United States still ranks far ahead
Of the other nations in natural
gasoline production. In 1929, the
latest year for which complete
world figures now are available,
the United States produced 81 per
cent of the world total. However,
the proportion produced by the
other countries, while small, has
grown steadily.
Natural gasoline is unique in
that its production is influenced
chiefly by the output of crude oil,
says G. r. Hopkins. in a state
ment just made public by the
Bureau of Mines. This is because
the supply of natural gas, the
raw material. fluctuates with the
activity in the crude oil fields. In
1880 the output of crude was con-
siderably below the record total
of 1929, hence the production Of
natural gasoline at the majority
of those plants which operate on
wet" or caSinghead gas was re-
duced.

September Fire Loss
If SaUed Would Give
lO,375 Jobs

For every dollar spent for
new construction in the United
States during September, 1881,
IS cents went up in flames;
for the nine months ending
october /, 1881, 35 cents of
every building dollar went up
in smoke, according to statis-
tics compiled by the American
Mutual Alliance. Chicago.
The September fire loss if
used for wages would have
kept 1O,375 skilled building
tradesmen at work that month.
So far this year. the fire loss,
if levied as a head tax, would
have cost every inhabitant of
