This bi true provided a surflclent
portion of the spawn is plated back
in the river but the local sporting
organization ma In tains that mor
tish in tiie river will be of no ad
vantage to the sportsmen lor the
reason thai practically all of them
will be taken at the racks each
year unyway. II Is almoM Impos

The Wing, Kin am) l l-.i-tiuut club
