Friday Evening, January 03 Vfr Page" Ten THE EUGENE GUARD DISTRIBUTION HELD AS PLAN IMFUTURE Chanel f pollry in the planting of trout fry by the siatn gome coinmiii- iun are cnntrmplatui in order that the fUli may be Mil longer at the batrberiea until larger before being distributed to the utreanw of the stale, according to Hen V, 1'orrls, member of the commission. "At prenent the trout are distribut ed when about one and one-hnlf to three Inches In length but it has . been found that the loss is great ond that many of these small fish are de stroyed. It Is believed that it would be better to hold Uie trout until they grow to threo to five inches." Mr. Porris said. The commissioner pointed out that this would necessitate moro ponds and also a heavier outlay for trans portation. The McKoiwie' hatchery at the present time, under the present policy of distribution, iB carrying n capacity load and if the trout are held longer that more heading ponds would be required. The transportation costs would increase owing " the fact thai only onc-fiftii Fiie uuinDer of the lar ger fish could be contained in the cans now in use, he said. ' 'The egg-taking for the hatcueriea Is limited by nature and we must tnko steps to aare as many as pos sible of the trout fry. Thia protection would be had by holding at the hat cheries and in this wny o much great er number of the fish irould reach maturity," tJie commissioner explain ed, . Under the. present system the fry are distributed about the motile of the Rummer. The proposed plan would be to retnln tho trout in the ponds over tho winter and stnrt dis tribution ns soon as the roads were in condition early in the spring. . Legislation concerning the state fish and game administration which is now pending would somewhat curtail this proposed plan of Increasing tho number of ponds and also the exteu aion of the transportation method aa funds for this purpose now at the dis posnl of the sommisslon would have to be obtained through appropriations of the legislature.
