entail Waters.

An embargo on the Japanese oyster.
which natures in year. as against
the four to five years required to bring
the American oyster to maturity. will
be sought by the Oyster Growers and
Dealers of North America. The Japa-
nese oyster brings with it a deadly
enemy to all oysters, the japanese
oyster drill, far more destructive than
the American drill. it said.
Discussion of the matter occupied
the annual convention of the associa-
ton, in session last night at the Will
lard Hotel, and it was decided to take
the proper steps to bar importation of
the Oriental bivalve.
The report of a committee investigat-
ing the situation pointed to the Japa-
nese oyster as inferior in taste to the
American shellflsh and far below the
domestic product in nutritional value
The committee reported it would be
practically impossible to import the
Japanese oyster without getting the
japanese drill, a small snail which
fastens on the shell of the oyster. drills
a hole in it and slowly eats the oyster.
Drills exist>in American waters now,
but the type found here has been held
