A Look out there! It's a flying Frigidaire falling from a Goodyear dirigible into salty Biscayne bay at Miami, Fla. Subjected to one of the most severe tests ever given an electric refrigerator, this stock model unit built by Frigidaire Division of General Motors was dropped 100 feet from a blimp into Florida waters. Towed around by a speed boa? to guarantee complete submersion, it was hauled out, found sealed 25. tightly as when it left the factory and was put into immediate oper- {ation freezing ice-cubes. > Aeronauts who witnessed the spectacular test were amazed that the refrigerator survived the terrific impact of the drop and came out without a single leak in its permanently sealed mechanism or a break in its cabinet, because, after all, they reasoned; household refrigerators are not-supposed to. be manhandled that way.

As the writer has spent a | greater part of his life living among the wild animals and fish and has also had some experierice in the propagation of these fish as well as several species or others, perhaps some readers who believe in restoring our small colonies of trout can receive sonie benéfit from this story. Perhaps it will also be of some benefit to our lawmakers and their chosen officers. It happened to be my misfortune, or fortune, in my boyhood that very little attention was paid to obtaining an education in school. My early edu- cation was acquired chasing chip- munks, woodohucks, bullfrogs and snakes until I became old enough to take up the more serious sport of hunting and fishing. My ancestors in the ploneer days of the early set- tlers, lived in the Greén Mountains of Vermont. In those days wild ani- mals,birds and fish provided a greater part of the means of livelihood.

This man told me that only a few days before some state department men had liberated a large number of young trout in the brook. This is what I would call one of the insane methods of the department: stocking streams during the open season for fishing, causing A the greater number of them, to be caught or destroyed, not only by honest fishermen who refurn them to the stream but by the dishonest ones who keep all they catch. On the return of my companion he reported the same conditions that I had found and we went further up- stream some three of four miles to | where a part of the brook is posted. After getting permission to fish, we same results, At last we were forced to give up and return to Minerva -| Creek. \ Caught 50 Large Trout It was on this creek during the years of 1895-96 that my father had his camp at an old abandoned lum- berman's shanty near the origin of On one occasion, my father sent me to the creek to catch some trout for supper and breakfast his black bear traps.

In the \old days,\ all brooks that were natural trout streams hau ,an abundance of trout, both large and small, and any one who cared to fish could cut him- self a rod, tie a short line and hook,. and, with a few morsels, of bait, could catch as many trout in one pool as are legally allowed for a fisher-| string of fish and they [' man totake in a day's fishing.

On arriving at the stream we left our car, my partner going upstream while I fished down. I found that the brook was alive with trout, both brook and rainbow, but not of After fishing some half- mile of the brook and not catching any trout that I could keep, I gave up in disgust. Some fishermen came upstream and on making some in- quiry I was told that if I wanted any fish I bad;better take the ones that I could get. Not caring to take their advice I returned to the car and as it was 45 years ago. while there I met a native of those parts and I made inquiry as to the reason of there being so many small tried our luck once more with the. as well as some for use as bait dAr{ dying and I succeeded in saving them. .| ~ On returning from: this trip I meb H |a fisherman just leaving the brook after a few hours fishing, carrying lieve would hold nearly 100 reason to believe of fish and the basket was almost This is a trie story and will Now let us discuss this stream as I found it in 1934.

On arriving at this place I soon discover- ed that those dams had been de- stroyed, and all the trout and beaver with them. And, dear brother fisher-4. men, this has been your sad experi- ence, as well as mine, for a great many years in spite of the millions of trout that have been liberated in our trout waters and streams. - The moral of this story is that there .are several methods that could be placed in effect. while in time I be- lieve wouldréstore our trout fishing | For the benefit of any person who} cares to investigate the truth of the facts that have been proven time after time in the hundreds of trout hatcheries scattered throughout the state, that where one has been suc- cessful, many have failed, there are so many reasons and causes for these failures it would take & book to tell them all. But I will tell you some of. the more important reasons. It is a well known fact that trout eggs that are hatched from a fish that has become diseased from feéding on un-. natural foods haven't much chance of being developed, This is one of failures. Another reason, I believe, is the liberating of young trout that have. Ibeen reared in hatcheries and fed on artificial foods and which are not large ur strong enough to obtain the il foods that nature provided, 'These | fish soon become the prey df larger fish as well as a great many birds: Tof these fish also starve before learn to find nature's foods. . Can Cure Diseases 'There are some diseases of trout 'that can be cured. I have purchased large numbers of these fish from pri- |. vate hatcheries where they were may They were saved, I found, mostly through methods provided by nature. liberated in the greater number of a legal size and such trout should only be liberated in the Fall of the. year, after the trout season has closed, If this method of stocking our trout | streams were carried out, I have every that - our. sportsmen would not have to go frito other states or to Canada, in search of trout. 82. . In concluding this story, I wonder der what my father would say If he could return and view the destruction of our trout fishing that has been brought about by modern methods of : trout raising and stocking of streams.
