EXPERIMENT
IN OYSTERS
?'Artificially Feeding in tha Beds
S to Increase Their Size and
Quality is a Success,
CAN BE DONE ON LARGE SCALE
/Would Rejuvenate the Industry
and Restore the Depleted Beds
to the Advantage of All.
(Special to Tho Times- Dispatch.)
NORFOLK, VA., Dec. ID.-Oystermon
and packers hereabouts are greatly In?
terested In tho experiments that aro be?
ing; made by tho national government at
Lynnhaven Bay, tho far-famed homo ot
?he most delicious, as well as tho mom
profitable, of tho Chesapoako Bay oys
ters,
Tho FlBh Commission some tlmo ago
hud" Its attention 'directed to the problem
of preserving the beds of tho Chesapeake
find Its tributaries, and tho result of Its
deliberations on the subject took tho
frrm of extensive experiments, conduct?
ed under tho supervision of ono of tho
experts of the department.
It wus doclded thut the oysters should
ho feu artificially In order to increaso
their size, nutritive value und further?
more to preserve tho beds. The baby,
oysters, It was found, frequently remain
ed culls till their lives for lack of prop?
er nourishment.
THE EXPERIMENT.
Tho form of Colonel Blackford, two
miles from Lynnhaven station, on tho
Norfolk and Southern Hallway, was se?
lected as Lho scene of the experiments,
:-'or several months past these have boon
In progress and the result is that the tie
partment officials aro thoroughly satis?
fied.
Tho only Item to bo ascertained now
Is the cost. If this can bo put on an
economical basis, thero Ib nothing to
prevent the adoption of this plan of ar?
tificially feeding the oysters all alone? the
shores of tho Chesapeake.
The result of such a system would bo
that the oysters would bo more market?
able, tho depleted bods would bo ro
I.lenlshnd an<| tho packers, tongers and
planters would all profit. It will be prac?
tically a rejuvenation of tho oyster ln
d"8try, which, as Is well known, is now
seriously threatened by the depletion of
tlie beds.
SIMPLE PLAN.
The plan under which the experiments
have beer mado ut Lynnhaven; is very
simple. The oyster lives on the vege?
table matter found In the salt arms of
t>-e Chesapeake, It also requires 11 mo
and phosphates for Its shell. These Itv
grcdlents are simply mixed up In tho
proper proportion ashore and pumped
out to tho beds, where the oysters get
the full benefit of them.
Commissioner Everman, of tho Fish
Commission, has been here for several
days looking Into this Important and in
leresUng series of experiments, and he
le 01 tho opinion that the success that
ha3 been attained, means new life for
the oyster Industry, not only at Lynn
haven, but wherever tho luscious bivalve
it. to bo found; .
