in plots of two acres on ground my
natural beds.- These probably were
similar to our planting mound in the
cove, on which need oysters, were
planted. But the supply of seed oysters
to stand these grounds, taken from the
natural beds, began to fail. and the
planters began to search for some ma
thod of increasing the supply. '
"in 1868 Captain Townsend, of New 1

began experimenting with
catching spat on shells thrown on the
bottom and was so successful that be

as others saw hissuccess. they folloW»

that these were really natural beds.
they kept moving out into deeper wa-
ter, where no one could possibly claim
there had been a natural bed, until to-
day they are successfully growing oys-
ters in ten fathoms of water.
“it should be mentioned hero as one
of our adVauthges over the Long is
land Sound growers that they cannot
count on a catch shorter than once in
four years. As a. matter of course a
good deal of friction was at once creat-

teasers. The rangers looked with
longing eyes on the great growth ex

the claim that the very fact that a
young rowth has formed on the plant

natural beds else why should oysters
form and grow on them? So serious
did quarrels and contentions become
that it' was soon evldeut'that some-
thing must be done, orthat the oyster

adoption of various, half way measures
