gress for an Appropriation fort
That Purpose
long has recognized that the Govern-
ment has not extended to tile oyster:
industry assistance commensurate
with its importance. and for the last
four years he has asked, but without
avail, that Congress make an appro-
priation which would permit the em-
ployment ol‘ a qualified man to devote
his entire time to studies for the pro-
lliotion ot' the. oyster fisheries. and par-'
1ticularly oyster culture. Secretary
ltedfleld has given his hearty support
to this recommendation, but cxperi.
'ciice has shown that unless those who
would iiiosl iiiiilitdlately prolit by the
Work which this assistant could per
form will interest themselves iii the.
Imatter Congress is little likely to givoi
what is asked.
“The recommendation has been re
netted in the estimates of appropria-
tions for the next fiscal year. and any
assistance which you might render to-
ward convincing Congress of the valid-
ity and importance of tile rcprcsciitaV
tion made by the department would be
much appreciatcd."

northern and eastern growers were.
held in Connecticut. at which some;
matters were discussed oi interest not

the Eastern seaboard States. but to

this reason it would seem proper to

discussed was ll proposal to discover

many important questions that have
in the past and now are arising to fos-
tering oyster culture.
Scientists thus far, at least 011 this
side of the water. have not made any
progress toward the artiiicial propaga-
tion of oysters, and yet oyster grow~
ers, especially [in the North, will tell
you that the supply is growing smaller
each year, that “sets" are becoming
less frequent and less extensive than
in the past. and that now no grower
in the North is willing to hazard an
opinion as to how soon the oyster sup-
ply will bc entiiely depicted and that
our cast and our south coasts will have
to look either to the west coast or
Japan for their oysters. it is only re
cently that a magazine published an
article telling how the east coast,
which has heretofore supplied the 1’1»:
ciiic Coast with both seed. shell and
opening oysters, will now have to turn
to that some Pacilic Coast in order to
meet the wants of Eastern buyers.
That oysters may be artificially prop<
ngated, the some as salmon, shad and
other varieties of tisli. is the belief of
a great many intelligent persons. Up
to the present time no one who has at-
tempted to “work up'i” the matter has
received any genuine support. When

—A.million, or possibly more than one
million. dollars is spent each year by
oyster planters and growers in "shell-
ing" oyster beds and planting oysters
in the hope of getting a “set." There
are certain sections of the North
where there is a “set" every year and
invariably. year in and year out, the
“set" peters out. If the embryo oys-
ters reach any growth they always the

there is general rejoicing, quickly fol-
1 lowed by mourning when it is found
that starfish, drills or mussels have
killed off the young oysters. 1
Heretofore the problem for oyster
growers and planters has been to find
a way for preventing the destruction
of oysters by their natural enemies.
Now oystermen are more concerned in
finding a way of propagating oysters,
for they realize that in a few years, un-
less something is done, there will be
no oysters for the starfish, drills and
mussels to kill.
This fact is keenly realized by the.
