Shrinking Fish Tale
Disproven by Facts
ConservotioniSts Say

The average fish story is sub
Ject, to some extent, to slight eX.
aggeration when told to a fel.
low fisherman and usually con-
slsts of details about the big
one that got away" Fishermen
can get away with this type
story providing there are no wit
nesses but the other common fiji
resorted to by some truth-twisters
about how much his trout OF
bass has shrunk since he was
caught earlier in the day just
won't hold water any more.
The man who claims that his
Is inch trout actually measured
20 inches when caught or the ang-
Ter who explains to the game
warden that his fish was legal
length when he pulled him in
but has just "shrunk" from eX
posure to the air, should be in
formed that the old theory o.
fish Shrinkage has been debunk,
ed.
Actual facts secured through
tests made by the West Virginia
Conservation Commission shows
that the average trout shrinkS
little more than Is inch over {
period of several days. Most Of
this shrinkage occurs in the first
two or three hours.

member that support prices re-
turn the farmer only 80 per cent
of full parity, and eggs and wheat
had not dropped 10 per cent be-
low parity on June Is. Prices for
live chickens and for potatoes
were almost down to parity June
Is.
Farm products were way above
parity levels on June Is included
corn, all classes of livestock, and
butter. Hogs would have to drop
almost a nickle a pound and cat
tie 10 cents before reaching June
Is parity levels. Dairymen were
getting $1.03 a hundredweight
more for their milk June Is than
parity for that product.
Crop reports indicate an all
time high record for the l948
corn and the second biggest
wheat production in history. OF
her crops probably will bring
feed and food production for l948
to a total never before reached.
Livestock and poultry numbers
can be increased materially be-
fore 1850.

Bank Deposits
Gain in County

Union county and other coun-
ties in this area have shown a
gain in bank deposits during the
year 1947 as have other coun-
ties in the state, according to
a report made by the Federal
Reserve System, an Associated
Bank deposits in Ohio totaled
press dispatch said today.
S6,329, ,003,00, which is possibly
an all time peak, at the opening
of business this year This figure
compares with $6,021, ,726,00 in
1916 and $5,481, ,154,00 in 1945.
Deposits in Union county as
of Dec. 81, 1947 in all banks,
commercial, mutual savings and
other types, totaled $6,662,000.
In other counties in this area,
total deposits were as follows:
Delaware, $13,398,00O; Hardin,
S17,992,000; Marion S31, $4,000.
The total figure represents de-
mand and time deposits of indi-
viduals, partnerships and corp
orations. 1t does not include mu-
nicipal, state or federal govern
ment deposits.
Demand deposits are chiefly
checking accounts. Savings ac-
counts comprise 80 per cent
roughly by time deposits.
A spokesman for the Federal
Reserve told a reporter that Ohio
figures reflect a nationwide in
crease in deposits that took a
big swing upward in the war
years and increased further, but
at slower rate, in the postwar
era.
There has been some slowing
tup" in deposits since the first
of the year, he said.
The Ohio figures were made
] public in a recent Federal Re
serve report, showing S3,642,687,- :
600 in demand deposits and ST.
686,3l6,000 in time deposits.
The summary showed deposits
in Cuyahoga (Cleveland) coun-
ty were the largest in any county
in the state: 81 $40, ,842, 900. Hamil-
ton county, on the basis of its
S788, 100000 in deposits is the
second richest" in the state.
Vinton county, with $2,238,O0O
in deposits, ranks lowest. Two
other low counties are Monroe,
with $3,548,000 and Pike, with
S3, 100000.
