to take over all of the child foeding
operations in Central Europe, now

the poor."
The latest cable from the Berlin

In Germany. "This probably will bo
decreased during the harvest period
whan fresh vegetables and fruit will
bo more plentiful, "the message

the number of children fed will In
crease again to at least 600,000 and
will coutinue without a break until
the summer of 1921. This will bi
increased to 1.000.000 If funds from
America can be secured to make this

states are face to face with the same
problem. Their streams are ex
hausted of fish and we. too, will be
In the same condition unless we give
more attention to the hatching of
trout. However, we are beginning to
pay attention to this important mat
ter and I am firmly convinced that
within a short time we will begin to
get results.
"It Is goiug to take a great deal
of work to re-stock our streams.
Five years ago we had plenty of fish,
but for every man fishing then we
have a hundred fishing now. Any
place that Is accessible by automo
bile Is visited on Sunday particular
ly, aifd also on week duys, by sports
men, many ot whom come from far
distant states. We have a reputation
to sustain and I know that the peo
ple of Oregon are going to maintain
that reputation. Right now we have
before us a great tak but I think we
are undertaking it In the right way
and thnt success will result from our
efforts."
Mr. Ryckman spent the day at
Rock creek In company with Dean
Hubar. president of the Umpqua
Sportsmen's association, and Irvln
Hrtinn. As soon as a suitable site Is
selected and purchased, he states, ac
tual construction will be started. He
favors the building of ha'cherlea on
t!e streams where the fish are to be
liberated and hopeB soon to see a
large string of suitable trout hatch
eries established.
"We do not plan on pretentious,
architecturally correct buildings,"
Mr. Kyckman rxplnined, "but we are
goUig to spend our money in such a
way that we can hutch and liberate
the largest number of trout. We
want troughs and feeding ponds par.
tirnlurly, and only such buildings as
ire necessary. Our aim Is to get re
sults at the lettbt cost and to make
our expenditures cover as much ter
ritory as possible. Therefore our
hatcheries will be simple but effi
cient." o
