that two-thirds of all the pupils will

Trout fishermen who are anxious
ly awaiting the opening of the sea-
son in many counties of the state on
May /, will rejoice to learn that at
the present time there are located
in the states trout hatcheries
something like 7,245,000 trout fry.
According to report by DR.. Thad-
deus Surber, superintendent Of fish
propagation for the Came and Fish
division, only a few rainbow trout
eggs were being taken at the close
Of February at the st. Paul hatch

Many of the trout fry will adj

Removal of 100000 pounds Of
rough fish to improve lake condi-
tons for game fishing was report
ed for the month Of February by
Erling Swenson, director Of the div
ision of Game and Fish. Twenty
five fishing agreements with pro-
fessional fishermen were in effect
during the month. Revenue receiv-
ed for the month to March 2
amounted to $3,57.49.
Fish markets are glutted with
rough fish taken ont only from
Minnesota lakes but from lakes in
the neighboring states Of Iowa,
Wisconsin, South Dakota and 9TH
ers located closer to markets. As a
consequence, fish prices are down
and considerable difficulty has
been encountered in disposing Of
rough fish, Director Swenson said.
Rescue Of game fishes in shallow
lakes where low water would
smother out all fish life has been
carried on by the division of Game
and Fish during the month OF Feb
ruary. A total of 1880 lakes tribu-
tary, with work centered in two
lakes where conditions were most
critical.
Included in the species were sun
fish, crappies, pickerel, bullheads
and a scattering of other varieties.
This work is accomplished with
Every little expense" by profession
al fishermen engaged by the divis-
ion to carry out rough fish removal.
Game fishes were removed from
Lake Sabre in LeSuer county to
Lake Volney and Lake Tetonka In
the same county. In Spring Lake
in Dakota county, game fishes were
rescued from shallow bays and
transferred into deeper waters.
Low water in many good fishing
lakes in the state, particularly in
the southern part of Minnesota, has
made it necessary for the state div
ision Of Came and Fish to take
drastic action to save and utilize
fish in the effected lakes.
Promiscuous fishing has been
permitted in some lakes where shall
low water threatened to smother
out fish. In other instances, oxygen
orators have been used with salts

simple. The foreign press had
protested the import Of timber
produced by penal labor. Part OF
the prisoners from the Northern
timber.works were transferred to
penal camps in southern and
central regions. The cut timber
remained in the forest and the
OGPU had no workmen to COM
plete the job. Timber exports
had to be continued, as 1t was
part of the Five.Year Plan. but
it had to be handled in q way to
avoid foreign criticism. No IN.
ducementS were sufficient to make
free workers move into the north
ern timber region.
It was these considerations that
led to the ingenious plan for the
exploitation of the labor Of "vol.
untary colonistS" In point OF
time it conceded with the adop-
ton of the policy of extermina'
ton Of the ''kulaks" as a class.
The scheme was diabolically
clever and effective. On the one
hand, it replaced the hundred
thousand prisoners employed In
the winter of 1930-31 with two
hundred thousand voluntary col
onists" and thus stopped foreign
protests. On the other hand, it
helped to exterminate the more
prosperous peasants as q class.
Among these exiles were also
some parties of German colonists,
Of whom much was written in
the German press and on whose
behalf the German ambassador at
Moscow had intervened, but in
vain. They were descendants Of
the German farmers invited by
Catherine the Great to settle in
Russia on a grant Of land pro-
vided for them on the Volga.
They formed a prosperous colony
and preserved their language and
customs down to the time Of the
Bolshevik revolution.
I was in Solvychegodsk when
navigation opened. Long caravans
of bargeS went up and down the
Vychegda River, some carrying
winter supplies for the Komi ter
ritory and some loaded with sawn
timber for export via Archangel.
Many bargeS carried transports
of voluntary coloniSts," once well
to-do peasants who had been de-
prived Of their land and posses
sions and deported from the Gen.
trail regions. Thousands Of these
unfortunates went by, men, wom-
hard-working, thrifty people.
Some Of us who spoke German
en- and endless numbers Of pale,
sickly children.
In addition to the natives, a
goodly number Of families Of eX-
lied German colonistS from the
volga lived in Solvychegodsk. The
families were crowded into little
rooms which often quartered as
many as ten people, the floor af-
fording merely enough sleeping
room for them. In spite OF the
crowded conditions, German clean
illness and accuracy was fully in
evidence; the patriarchal customs
of the colonistS had been pre-
served through all their trials.
Thrifty People
The head Of each family, "der
Vater," was loved, respected and
implicitly obeyed by all its mem
bers. Everybody worked hard, the
women laundered and embroi-
dered, bringing all their earnings
to the father, who spent the fam
lily cash as he saw fit. There were
never any quarrels in these fam
lilies. They were a substantial,
