MARYLAND MANUAL. 67 is limited to eight students in these various subjects relating to local problems, while an effort is made to keep the registration down to five members in each class. Students are accepted on the basis of interest and scholarship, an effort being made to eliminate all except grade “A” students. All research problems are associated with wild life of the State. Original work rather than formal classes is en- couraged. PROPAGATION OF GAME FISH. Prior to 1926 the fresh water work was supported by State appro- priations and only a limited amount of propagation could be accom- plished. Since that time the Angler’s License Fund was inaugurated which relieved the State from support in this direction, and the rev- enue from this source has made possible the following: Enlarging and improving the Lewistown Hatchery at Frederick County, and leasing and operating in connection with the above named hatchery the White Rock and Richey Camp rearing stations. The purchase and construction of a 50 acre large mouth bass and crappie station at Fairlee, Kent County, where since 1929, 700,000 bass and crappie have been distributed, mostly in the waters of the Eastern Shore. The purchase of sixteen acres in connection with the Lewistown Hatchery for the purpose of the propagation of small mouth bass. Four and three quarters acres were com- pleted and operated this season, with an output of 206,000 Bass from two to three inches. The purchase of land and the construction of Bear Creek Station, Garrett County, that has produced yearly since 1928, 20,000 trout, ranging in size from 7 to 14 inches and which hnve been stocked in the waters of Garrett County. The leasing and operation of the Cushwa Rearing Station since 1929, where thousands of trout from 7 to 26 inches are stocked yearly in suitable waters of Washington County. Steady progress is being made in the development, propagation and restoration of fish life to the interest of the angler and those inter- ested in conservation work. Deputy Commanders. Dist.
