TONGERS PREPARE 10 START SEASON Taking of Oysters Will Be- gin Tomorrow—Yield Is « Problematical. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, August 31.—Oyster tongers were busy today overhaul- ing their gear in preparation for the opening of the 1935-36 oyster season. They faced the prospect of a “fair “crop” as they returned to work after & four months’ “vacation.” Thousands of bushels of shells have been planted this Summer, but their benefits will not be realized for several | years. The season will actual;y cpen to- morrow, the first of the month, but State laws forbid the taking of oysters on Sunday. So it is thas the tongers will wait impatiently for daylight Mon- day, and that the lovers of good food will have to wait for the first of the new crop. Tongers Favored. Tongers, whose work is hard and | whose catch is small, are favored above the dredgers. The season for dredgers opens November 1. Because of the depletion in the oyster beds of the waters around Somerset Conoty, the tonging season there does not open until September 15. Tongers are confined !o work in ghallow waters, as their apparaius is operated by hand. They d> not gen- | erally work in water “eeper than 10/ feet. Dredgers work the deeper waters, | and dredging grounds are marked out, their boundaries being fixed by law. Tongs used by the oystermen look | gomewhat like two rakes, their handles hinged together, and their teeth Iac-| ing inward. The usual oraciice o!‘ the tonger is to anchor his boat with as short a cable as possible. He then| rakes the bottom all around his boat until he thinks he has gathered all the legal sized oysters in reacn. /mer’ this he lets out more cabie and lets his boat drift into position cver a new section of the bottom. Yield Problematical. Last Fall the 7,279,000 pounds or oysters sold at public markets in the Fall netted oystermen more than $477,000. Over 687,000 pounds were | sold privately for total receipts of $74,011. Whether the oyster profits this year will be larger than last is unknown. The oyster beds have yielded a fluctuating return for a good many years. The total catch during the 1928-29 season was 1,928,000 bushels; in 1929-30 it was 1,781,000, in 1930-31 it was down to 1,756,000. But in 1931-32 it was up to 2,007,000, only to drop to a new low, 1,616,000, in 1932-33. Last year it was 1,806,000 ‘When oysters are abundant—a rare eondition at present—it may take only four or five scoops of the tongs to gather a bushel of them. On private beds an expert oysterman may tong from 10 to 15 bushels an hour al- though the work is very laborious. The men rarely tong for more than five hours in any one’ day. spending the rest of the time ‘“culling” their catch. This coasists of separating and returning to the water all oysters less than a certain size. Shell Is By-Product. Maryland oysters aren’t the kind that have pearls, but they have an- other by-product which is more or less valuable. This is the oyster shell, which accumulates in huge piles out- side the oyster packing houses. Shells are used for the manufacturing of | chicken grit, for making shell lime or | for planting to give a good base for the growth of later oysters. They are -rarely used now for building roads, although this was formerly an im- | portant use. Oysters used for lime bring from $4 to $8 per ton, while chick grit sells for $12 to $20 per ton. ‘Ten per cent of the shells, by law, may be taken by the Conservation Com- mission without payment to return to the water to rebuild exhausted oyster beds.

BALTIMORE, August 31.—Work- relief projects already approved by Francis H. Dryden, Maryland works progress administrator, would provide work for 23503 persons during the | Winter, a summary of the projects | reveals. In addition, Public Works Adminis- tration projects already filed with Abel Wolman, regional P. W. A. di- rector, would provide 26,903 man- years of work. A man-year of work is the amount of work necessary to keep one man employed for one year. Not all of the P. W. A. or W. P. A. projects are expected to be approved. On the other hand, more projects are being filed every day. It is be- lieved possible that the final amount of work to be approved will approxi- mate or be higher than the totals in applications already on file. The 23,503 persons who might be | employed on W. P. A. projects is al- most exactly the number of employ- ables in Maryland on relief. The ca- pacity of the W. P. A. for absorbing unemployed persons is based on an arbitrary figure of six months’ work per man, which would carry him through April. In other words, there are 11,752 man-years in the W. P. A, program. Most of these projects, however, will not last a year. Further- more, it is expected that by next Spring the flow of men from W. P. A, to P. W. A. will be increased. For these reasons, the W. P. A. figure is based on the number of six-man- month units. | A W. P.
