O'CONOR RELEASES
DIAMOND-BACK TERRAPINS

Annapolis, August 29-Conserva-
ton and resuscitation of Maryland's
sea-food population were given i'm
petus few days ago when Cover
nor Herbert R. O'Conor and party
of State officials and guests went
to the Chesapeake Bay Biological
Laboratory at Solomon's to release
several hundred young diamond
back terrapins that had been hatch
ed and cared for there. The young
terrapin were to be distributed in
various streams along the Eastern
and Western shore of the Bay.
There was time when the ter
rapin was as plentiful in Maryland,
comparatively speaking, as were the
buffaloes of the West, but they
came as close to extinction as did the
buffalo, despite the fact that once
they had been so plentiful that the
Maryland Legislature had to pass a
law making it unlawful to feed
slaves on terrapin more than so
many days week.
Matching and raising the terrapin
is only one of the countless such
conservation and propagation activ-
tiles being carried on at the Labora-
tory, under the supervision of DR..
r. v. Truitt, its director. Not salts
fed that the 500 youngsters already
released will accomplish his objec-
tive, DR.. Truitt promises another
1000 for next year, and plans to
keep at it annually until diamond
back terrapin really begin again to
be an important factor in the Mary
land sea-food industry.
