TOO SMALL.
The state of Connecticut can make a
unique exhibition of its shell fish (ova.
ter) business at St. Lottie, one which
no other state can approach and not
even the United States itself can equal
in its fisheries exhibit, and this dis-
play will possess an interest for west
era and southern people which no
other could. Not one man in a thou-
sand throughout those sections knows
of the way in which oysters are cui-
tlvated the peculiar and novel ways
in which they present themselves. their
minute iirst appearance and rapid de-
velopment. and the whole business has
the charm of novelty as well as of
scientific interest for the general pub-
lic. But the state can not make a
proper display on thesmall sum al-
lotted to that branch of business by the
appropriation committee. The two
things in which Connecticut can be
unique and unrivaled in her dis-
play,wiil be the cultivation of tropical
tobapco under cover and the cultiva-
tion ofznysters. in other lines in which
the state will propose to be represent-
ed she will be overpowered by the dis-
plays from larger and more prolific
states. and while it is all right that
such things should .be looked after
carefully, those in which she will stand
practically alone in the value and.ex-
be crippled by a meagre amount. The
shell fish commission asked for 82,000.
