NOANK Lobster Question the Mai Discussion — Fog Delays Fleet. Topic of Fishing The /lobster question and the out- come Of the special mecting of the Fishermen's Protective assoclation is the principal topic for conversation in the village. Those who haye read the application which has to. be signed by thel fishermen betore the Teceipt of their permit from the state consider them in the right in giving this mat- ter due consideration before placing thelr name to the application. Others contend that there is no Teason why the laws of the state should not be complied with. The question of artificial propagation of lobsters is also being discussed. It has been the gencral opinion that more katisfactory results would be obtained in the development of the young fish if the egg lobster was returned to the water as #oon as caught, letting nature take ite course. That this is the opin- ion in other places is proved by a des- patch from St. Johns, Newfoundland, which says: This island is the greatest breeding plice for lobsters in the world. Of the $10,000,000 spent each year for lobsters Newfoundland receives nearly $1,000,— 000. Her isolation forbids the profita- blo export of live lobsters, and her whole product is~#inned. Fresh lob- sters at § cents aplece are common in Newfoundland during the summer. Some 3,000,000 pounds of lobsters are exported every, year. Allowing that each lobster yleids "four ounces of “meat.” this represents w Mill of 13- 000,000 annually, per. dikeased the canneries to perish. In the artificlal propagation of lob- sters it takes five years to raise one pound of the “meat Dbecause not more than two or three lobsters come to maturity out of 10,000 esss pro- luced. adult an lobater &mfl dlfior;tflbm d it takes six for the progeny to attain matu- Xn American blologist Tolds that all | e 1 ion of the world today for the protection of lobstens is wrong end Orllmfillu nor loT NARCOTIC, i35 Dosks —- ey T T T o Bxact Copy of Wrapper. proves that we have been working on the wrong track.
