Aid to Oyster
Industry
BY the Associated Press

The House has voted for two
programs to aid the Eastern
oyster industry which has been
hard hit by a virus and storms.
One bill would set up a Fed
eral program of supplying the
States with oyster brood stock
believed to be resistant to the
disease causing high mortality
among oysters. The other would
include oysters planters among
those entitled to disaster loans.
The measure setting up the
brood stock would provide that
the participating Stat es pay

one third Of the cost Of the
oyster seed for use in public
beds. A committee report said
the cost would be $500. 900 6
year for the next five years
During the last few years
oyster beds in the Delaware and
Chesapeake Bays have beer
hard hit by a virus organism
A relatively small number Of
oysters survived the attack ir
Delaware Bay and it is believed
this strain has considerable re-
sistance to the virus.
The other bill would provide
a loan program under the
Farmers Home Administration
similar to that now provided
for farmers.
Last month storms striking
the Atlantic Coast washed over
outer barriers and into the bays
and inlets where oysters are
produced. Many of the beds
were covered with sand.
