ANNUAL REPORT IS ISSUED
Time Seems Approaching When
Natural Rocks Will Supply
Market.
Asserting its conviction that the I
State of Virginia might ho well rhl of
the oyster trouble und expense in the
James River by eitiier prohibiting
planting above the seed line or else by!
turning the entire thing over to plant- j
ers. ihfl Commission of Fisheries yes- j
terday mode public Us annual report, to
the Governor. As usual, the report
gives large space to the" conditions on
the James, although it is really but
a small part of the oyster grounds of
the State.
Repetition is made of the argument
used before the Legislature hist winter
in behalf of tlie bill for rearranging
tlie lines of the Baylor Survey in the
.lames, to the effect that the zigzag lines
of tlie survey make strict administering j
of the law a physical impossibility and
cause a continual clash between ton set
and planter.
The result Is that one-fourth of the
oyster navy ami of the expenditures ol
the commission are devoted to tbc
? lames, which furnishes but one-tenth of
'.be oyster industry, while its seed beds
form but a nineteenth part of th*
State's natural rock.
neeren.se In t'l.-uitiuir.
Treating of the situation over the j
State generally, the Commission of
Fisheries comments on the decline oi
revenue from plant grounds and tlie
increase front tongers. Tlie returns
from planting grounds rented by the
State for the past year show $iC,7CG, as
against $49.87$ for the preceding year.
Although the extension of time for tlie
payment under tlie new laws affected
tliis to some extent, tin' commission is
convinced that sonic planters are giv?
ing up their holdings. On tlie other
hand, the revenue from tongers in?
creased from $12.069 to $13, iS4i
A few years ago tlie State received
$15,000 annually from- tnngcrs and
$70,000 from planter.-. The falling oft
is caused largely, says the report, by
the severe blow struck the industry by
"pure food faddists.'' Oil this subject
tlie report waxes warm, the persons
who have been spreading false reports
about the health!ulncss of the Virginia
oyster coming In for denunciation
which tho commission admits it is un?
willing to publish in Its entirely.
May Stop Cultivation.
The final result will be, it .seems, that
such a growth of oysters will be fos?
tered and cropped from the public
areas that planting and cultivating will
be pretty well abandoned, and that the
State, if it demands a bettet- showing
in direct, returns, will have to cast
about for other methods of taxing the
brandies of the industry.
' As it now appears." continues the I
report, "the gradually diminishing
areas under lease will soon decline
more rapidly, while the natural growth
will be all that the demands of the
market require.?'
The commission believes that the fish?
eries service was never under a better
system, and that with the present ap?
propriation and the new laws, further
Improvements may be expected.
About the Ja lue?.
Oh the subject of the oyster situation
in the James, the report is as follows: j
"In nine-tenths of our oyster section
there is quietude and satisfaction over '
tin: marked Improvement within late!
years. Jn all localities except M?bjack
Ray and the York River there has been
great increase in the natural
growth and output of oyster?. This
has been particularly so in James River
and its tributntrios. Your commission
has almost despaired of doing unything
to hel]? tho once famous and produc?
tive, but now denuded Mobjack Buy.
The same is true lo a. less degree of
i York River, in these two sections tlie
Commission of Fisheries has lacked
I the support and confidence of the peo?
ple. What has been accomplished foi
Poeoinuke Sound, the Rappa bannock,
the James and other less known local?
ities could be achieved for Mobjack
and tlie York. As it is, ilir-y will have
to remain?the one practically barren
and the other showing only slight
I improvement?until residents and poll
? eal factors will accord honesty of pur?
j pose to oyster officials and support
: them in their plans for resuscitation
On<?. ago, these were fruitful
acid prosperous bottoms, having great
renown at home and abroad.
"Loft to themselves because of their
own violation, they have given officials
littie concern. Localities other than
the Jttmes have also given but little
trouble, chiefly because policies of offi?
cials were accepted and the. result ha.s
? been good, with little trouble of ad
| ministration More trouble and ex -
; pense, however, have been occasioned
j in tin James River than probably all
i other sections combined. Yet the
I James it; showing great imprdvement
? and wonderful advancement insofar as
the natural beds are concerned.
?'("Jet* Into Pnper.%."
"This river Is more largely in the
: public eye, for patent reasons, than any
. other tidal section. It has been brought
i b.v agitators into undue prominency
j and Importance. It being the closest of
; our oyster beds to the cities of Rich
i inoml. Newport New.-; and Norfolk It
' Is riot unreasonable tri expect every
? rnovemeni or n<t. no matter how small,
j to 'get into the papers." The James
? and Its tributaries embrace hut one
\ tenth of the entire oyster industry of
' the "State, and but a nineteenth par:
j of the State's natural rock is fo ind
I |h the Seed beds of the James. True,
I thr small arc;, of r-r-en ground is more
1 valuable than an equal area in many
? other places. A? to th? 13,721 acres

j "BecAuSf of a spirit that believe*
J ail natural growth oysters belong at
' all tinier, to Tidewater citizens, inbred
for many years, and intensified by re?
cent agitation, this Commission of
Fisheries lias had to devote unwar?
ranted time and means to that terri?
tory. (The same, to a large extent, was
true of our predecessors. 1 in fact

may say, Is the chief cause of tho un?
called for notoriety in recent years

! "Of the entire 26,1 OS acres in the
James River oyster grounds, hardly
one-fourth is shown by the recent min?
ute examination of the I'nlted S'ates .
Bureau of Fisheries to he available
for the public, or In any way profitable !
This is partly because of naturally
harren areas within tlie survey lineal
and partly because of the long-time
policy of the State in permitting a|
planter to take up ground in shoe
String style Avas greatly abused In the
Janiea. These leases have not. yet ex- I
pirod. One man there has held a striu
a mile long and not ten yards wide in
places. Stakes creep out and possess
the public beds, and from their pri?
vate coign of vantage Irresponsible
hirelings are encouraged to pouch in
season and out of season on tlie pub- j
lie grounds, thus keeping depleted some*
of the public area. [
"The commission thought at one time I
of abandoning the policing of the.
James entirely, but the more or less I
good effects of rigid policing for sev-j
oral years would have been lost, law?
lessness would have had full sway and
thus worked total destruction to the
natural rocks in a. very short time.
Tlie commission feels sure it is doing
all in its power under the law for tho
best interest of the State, and its
course will not be changed by the t
clamor of interested parties until the
statutes change. The past summer tho
pollen patrol was Increased on tho
James River, and violations kept down
to a minimum. This is the best that
could he done under present geodetic
lines, even were the entire navy an?
chored theer all the time. It is not
claimd by any that (here are no vio?
lations in the closed season, but we do
\ assert positively that they have been
I kept at a very low ebb.
"Laws and police do not prohibit
murder?nor do they stop stealing. The
! liest to lie hoped for is to keep the
crimes *t a mininTum. Stalte pulling
by hands of tongers was more in evi?
dence the past summer than usual, but
the officials have little to fear of a
repetition on any large scale, and aside
from extra expense to determine lines
nnd police the river, there is nothing
i to complain of.

the James and Nansemond Rivers above
Newport Hews, and to provide a founda?
tion for needed legislation by tho
State.
" "The present boundary lines are
based on tho survey of 1832-1894, and
their Justice has Iouk been a matter
of contention, tho oystermen claiming
that much productive bottom was
omitted from the publio grounds, and
the planters contending that a large
area of barren bottom was included.
The present survey could not demon?
strate the validity of the first claims
as such bottoms, if they existed, have
been long sinco occupied for plant?
ing purposes, but it whs shown that \
about 88 per cent, of the present area !
of the grounds consists of barren bot- !
torn, and an additional lfi per cent, j
boars oysters too sparsely scattered
to bo commercially valuable, ,
"'Of tho 26,408.1 acres surveyed, hut ?
7,153 acres can bo regarded as ac- ?
tually productive. It was found also
that in certain places oyster planters
have encroached oh the public rocks,
and it was evident that in othor places,
adjoining the planted beds tho rocks,
had been depleted by llllcin operations. ,
" "To release from the public grounds ,
and throw open to rental a.considerable
area of the barren bottom and to rec?
tify the boundary lines so as to permit l
adequate policing, the State Fish Com- |
miss!brier had an enabling act intro?
duced In the Legislature, at its last ses?
sion. To attain the ends sought, it un?
fortunately was necessary to exclude
from the public grounds a small por?
tion of the productive bottom, and as
the Legislature held that this was in
contravention of a constitutional pro?
vision relating to the oystor beds, the
proposed law failed of passage.'
Spawn Swept Awny.
'Periodically, the James, as do all
headwater streams, presents freshets,
mud and other phases inimical to the
propagation a.nd growth of the oyster.
Every third year or so. and some?
times two years in succession, this con?
dition prevails. It occurred two years
ago. not only on the .lames, but. also
on the Potomac, and in Maryland .rivers
and the upper Chesapeake Bay. Oysters
died, and spawn failed to take hold
there, but was swept in abundance
greater than any year remembered
since the war to the lower rivers and
hay. These things are beyond the con?
trol of man, and are far more vital to
the seed grounds than are the heralded
depredations. The output of the James
this present year was much greater
than (or years past. There being no
regulation as to the size of oysters to
be taken on the upper James, the his?
tory of this river has been that boais j
from other sections of the State rush |
there, the first few weeks of the esa
son; clean it up and decamp for other |
places where a cull law prevails, and j
will furnish work through the re- :
maindei' of the season The past sea- !
son, and the present so far, has seen a
moderate influx of outside torigers,
but they have not decamped as in pre?
vious years. Oysters have been found
iii abundance, so much so that lust, year
seed dropped to 16 cents a bushel (from
30 cents in preceding years), and this
season they have been selling at 10
cents and 12 cents?fulfilling a
prophesy two years ago of your com?
mission that strict control of the
waters would result in abundant yield.
Another year, with successful admin?
istration, we expect to see clean James
River seed down as low as S cents, and
the longer making a good living at
that. With such prices and abundance
the Virginia planter can then laugh
at and defy competition from Ids Con?
necticut brother. This small area pro?
duces as lavishly as nature, warrants,
und could be but little bettered by arti?
ficial cultivation. The entire crop is
taken in season, and dispersed by
many hands throughout the State-:?the
many, and not a favored few, deriving
the benefit. The virtue of pormittin?*' j
small oysters, freed from the shells, to
he taken from the seed beds of the
upper James and Potomac is in the fact
that the. oysters there docs not mature,
and If not taken small would go to
waste, probably destroyed by the next
season's freshets and mud. Nature is
looked to each succeeding year to sup- !
ply a fresh seed crop in this little field, j
The virtual asset of the James, how- I
ever, is positively too small to war- |
rant controversy or more attention by |
the authorities than it is receiving.
"Conditions in the seed region* might
be yet further alleviated if by statuta
the oyster officials were trio re llberall>
Intrusted with the management of tho j
seed beds. It should v>,;' optional with;
tho authorities to close the season there .
when they deem best, to lease out or
declare open such ' grounds on stich
terms as judgment dictated, to re
survey the producing rocks and declare
boundaries for tlie inviolable portions.
Gasolene workers should be restricted1]
and the depredating shoestring planter.;
lacking other power to oust him. should
forfeit his lease upon conv>ction for
violating the laws. But these are mat?
ters for the Legislature, more than a
year hence, and another report from
your Commission of Fisheries will be
forthcoming In ample time."
