STARFTSH AND OYSTER
PROBLEM.
by Lillion Cox Athey

For a century oystermen of Long
Island Sound have fought losing
game with the innocent -looking
starfish. 1t is a costly job trying to
outwit starfish, about $1,000, 900 per
year. Starfish are always one jump
ahead because they hatch three
weeks earlier than young oysters.
BY the time they are waited to the
oyster bed by the current they have
become ravenous oyster consumers.
In the shallow waters along tbs
shores of Long Island Sound you
may observe the life story of a star
fish. They spawn in June. living at
the surface Of the water. In the
larva form they are free swimmers,
settling to the bottom when three
weeks old.
Adult oysters are usually attached
to some hard, clean surface where
they settled five or six years before.
They do not move about and are
at the mercy of the free-moving
starfish.
All starfish have voracious appe-
tite and grow rapidly. Oyster spat
can be cleaned up in short order.
They cannot lock their shells against
the strong steady pull of the star
fish. The older, stronger oysters can
resist the suction of the tube feet
much longer. However, the moment
there is the slightest indication OF
relaxation on the part OF the victim
the starfish promptly turns its
stomach inside out to engulf the
weary oyster. After the feast the
starfish leaves the empty gaping
shells for another victim. Looking
through the clear water to an oyster
bed below you can see the havoc
starfish create in a prosperous bed.
The oyster industry Of Long
Island Sound Is maintained by in
tensive private cultivation. This Is
in direct contrast to the South
Atlantic and to some extent In
Chesapeake Bay where oysters are
taken from public grounds. -Four
to six years are necessary for the
oyster to reach marketable size.
: 1t is an old story about the war
going on between the oystermen and
the starfish. For long time 1t was
not known that mutilating . star
fish and tossing 1t back into the sea
only increased the enemy who is
able to replace the missing parts.

Rhythm in the bidding is an in.
sidious thing. Even experienced
players with seasoned judgment will
frequently be caught in Its swing

of impulse rather than logic. The
conviction Is held that the enemy is

cession suits which they do not
really have. with the expectation Of
being doubled. After they have re-
peated the formula for several
rounds Of bidding they arrive at long
last at the suit In which they desire
to play the hand, with the hope that
the enemy will have gotten into the
swing and continue to WELD the
mallet.
There comes to mind a critical
hand from the semifinals Of the
Vanderbilt tournament some time
ago. My partner in the North elect-
ed to open the bidding with club.
While itx lacks the honor strength
for an orthodox bid, few players will
today be found who would be willing
to pass the hand. East choose the

overcalling with one spade. He was
reluctant to make a take-out double

The trouble started with the
double Of one spade, which, am
convinced, was bad strategy on my
part. The trouble with doubles Of
low contracts, when you have Moth
ing but length in the adversely bid
suit, is that the hand many times
does not play there and your part-
ner will double some other contract,
depending upon you to take tricks
which do not materialize in the play.
North's double of two hearts was
natural and East rescued to two no.
trump, with the diamond suit as .
backbone. I passed as did West and
my partner made an impulsive
double. Brief analysis would have
shown that I could not have any
strength in diamonds, else Iwould
have doubled the two no-trump con-
tract, inasmuch as I am known to
have the spades and partner had
made it clear that he has the clubs
