A dozen men are emplo at the site of the hatchery \three or four fishermen are | ployed to gather the sp: ‘craw/ish take them to the ery. After reaching the hatchery they are placed in a narrow trough and watched carefully un- til one day before the eggs are due to hatch.

The eggs hatch, and the larvae arise to the surface, pass from {the jars into large troughs filled with water where they are re- j tained for about 24 hours. the troughs they are transferred to galvanized iron cans, taken to | Protected waters and left to de- velop. Placing them in protected} waters rather than the open area of the reefs, is hoped to increase the proportion of larvae develop- ing to maturity. | Only a small proportion of the }eggs hatched will ever reach ma- turity, Mr.\;Pierce says. He does not estimate, the number, but |hazards a guess of from 50 to 75, {out of anywhere from 500,000 to | 700,000 eggs. Even this, it is be- lieved, is a decidedly better pro- |portion than is reaching maturity now under natural conditions for during the past several years, the crawfish production in the waters around Key West has been steadily declining. This condition, it is 'hoped, will be remedied within the imext few years, since crawfish reach maturity in scarcely more} {than a year. Has Scientific Value In addition to the hoped for re- plenishing of Key West waters! | with crawfish, the hatchery has a decided scientific value, Mr. Pierce says. Little is known of the life of this crustacean, the relative number which reach ma- turity, ways of increasing this! proportion and the numberless stages through which the larvae.' | Mr. Pierce is of the opinion that! the crawfish larvae pass through more stages than the tadpole, and for this reason this should be jan immensely interesting study. Since there is little past ex- }Perience on which to base the | benefits of a hatchery, the value lof the project to commercial fishermen and dealers is not def- jinitely known. It is pointed out that if the hatehery reaches any-! where near a stage of successful- ness, which is assumed at the out- | set, crawfishermen will be assured (Continued on Page Four) i qm | Athletic training and | scope. ‘Commissioners Opposed To Ceding ‘Fifty Percent Of Monroe County Land For National Park Purposes ossreseees City Commission Pays Taxes For Poor Widow (by Amneciated Prone FORT LAUDERDALE Fla., June 13.—A widew = © said she supported four chil- dren on earnings ss.se weekly asked the city comm.s- som for permissicn to pay ber taxes in installments 30 cents a week.
