OYSTER
FARMING
SEEDS PLANTED IN WATER
MATURE IN TWO YEARS
BY Stanley Baitz

IA must wait patiently for
at least two years before he
harvests what he sows. has
come into being In Maryland
and Virginia in recent years.
Oyster farming Is a COM
paratively new business which
has sprung up since the
alarming depletion of oyster
beds in the Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries. An oyster
farmer, as the name implies,
plants seed oysters in the
water and waits for them to
grow large enough to harvest.
That period might be any,
where from two to four years.
A number of private COM
panies lease rights to under
water areas from both Mary
land and Virginia. and stake
out their planting grounds
thereon. Shown here are
photos from one such opera
ton along the Patuxent River
near Benedict, Md.
One of the employees of the
company, Hobart Harrison of
Benedict. says: I'VE lease
river beds just like we'd lease
a farm. My company has
from 200 to 800 acres In the
Patuxent."
Mr.. Harrison's outfit had .
just obtained a boatload of
seed oysters. The power boat
had chugged up from st.
Marys County with a load of
shells to which the tiny fel-
lows had attached themselves.
He culled a few choice sam
piles from the load and
pointed to one large shell
which had l6 seed oysters at
tached to it.
I'm two years thatll pro-
vide some good eatin'." he
observed.
Seed oysters are planted
early In spring, when the
frost has gone. Exposure to
cold or heat for very long
kills them. In fact, the
oyster, its hard covering not
withstanding. is a delicate
critter which has to be treat
ed with all the care of a new
born babe, Mr.. Harrison init
mates.
Oysters reproduce exclu-
sively by eggs. At birth the
oyster is known as a larva.
In this stage 1t swims about
freely for a few days. then
1t sinks and attaches itself
to something and begins the
process of growing up. At this
point In its development 1t is
called by the unesthetic
name of "spat." Feeding upon
the microscopic life in the
water, 1t grows rapidly. When
large enough for transplanta-
ton 1t Is called a "seed
oyster"
The successful maintenance
of planted oysters Is de-
pendent upon many factors.
You have to consider the
nature of the bottom
whether it's Arm enough and

Music
VioIinist Weiner
Greeted Here As
FuH-FIedged Artist
By Elena de Soyn

Z Many years have passed since
Stanley Weiner, violinist, heard
at Howard University last night,
made his local debut at the age
Of eight, He grew up in the COM
munity, played periodically. en-
semble and soil. but never has he
played as he did yesterday. It
was pleasure to greet MIR.
Weiner as a full-fledged artist.
one that has found at last the
meaning of music.
His performance of the Paga-
mini concerto, heard from him
few seasons ago, invites compari-
son. He surpassed his previous
one by the consumate skill and
ease with which he executed the
concerto's formidable passages.
The purity of his tone and of his
intonation in the highest registers
and in double stops spoke Of
complete command of all re-
sources. Yet it was the use of
infinitessimal and multiple ar
tistic fine points, his infections,
color and emphatic silence, so
important in phrasing, that
transformed his playing beyond
recognition.
The violinist's new attitude to-
ward music was first audible in
his refined handling of Vitali's
"Chaconne," which opened, the
program. Aside from Paganini's
concerto. and even to greater
degree, Mr.. Weiner's artistic ma
turity could, be best envisaged in
Saint Saens' ''Havanaise." Such
a display of fine style, loveliness
and poetry has not been heard
here in may q day. Once popular
with such violinists as Jacques
Thibaud and others Of his gen.
Grafton, the composition fell into
neglect and unjustly 50. Yet. to
play it with so much subtle charm
and finesse, as did Mr.. Weiner,
requires special skill. In his
hands the number was q perfect
gem.
Stravinsky's Suite on Themes
of Pergolesi" Is better suited to
the violin than many others by
the composer. The inventions are
interesting and not too discord-
ant. Were they treated inter-
pretatively with as much care as
the preceding selections, the work
could have made a better show
ing. The hack of balance between
violin and the piano lent it an
unfinished aspect. Joseph Seiger,
although satisfactory as an &C
companist. did not show much
conception Of form. Devoid of
final polish, while technically Sc
cure. the playing Of the suite did
not seem seasoned enough for a
public performance. The public
gave the artist an enthusiastic
reception, ....-'-e

The American Cancer Society has announced the appointment of Charles F. Kettering, industrialist and scientist, as chairman of its 1949 fund-raising campaign.

 Kettering's first official act was to call upon the 50 divisions Of the ACS of which the Alaska Division is recent addition, to raise a minimum of $l4,500,000 for the public and professional educa- tion.
 "The carefully budgeted ACS program indicates that this amount is the minimum needed to con- tinue the heartening advances made thus far Kettering asserted. Our efforts must not be dimin- ished at time when we may be standing on the threshold of sig nificent progress against mans ancient enemy, cancer"
 In keeping with the objectives, Mrs. Mildred Hermann, Command CT of the Alaska Division of the American Cancer Society, announc- ed the chairman of the Alaska Di- vision in charge of the 1949 fund.- raising campaign will be named within a few days.
