Crovoling, who Is tho su perintendent of Col. Troxlor's hatch ery, in Snllsburg, ncnr Allontown, knows moro about trout culturo than Any other man in tho state. Ho has boon at Ihn business tho creator Dart of his llfo, having served tho stnto' for a number of years. Tho Allontown Leader recently contained an Interesting story On the Dronacatlon of trout, which should bo read by all who tako an Interest! in me siocmng 01 streams. 11 mo Crovoling plan Is tho most success ful one In fish culture, why not Im portune the state Ilsli commission to Adopt similar methods. If It Is truo that nlnety-nlno per cent, of tho trout fry planted by the state perishes In tho streams, why go to tho great troublo of planting -horn? Every year we hear of millions of fry placed In tho streams of the stato and -when tho season opens the cry comes from every section that trout aro scarce The stato should hold the trout until they attain tho length of thrco or four Inches before shipping thorn out. Tho quantity, of course, would not be so great, but those that were shipped would bo ablo t6 tako caro of themselves and bettor results would bo obtained. What The Loader Says. "To those who lovo trout as a thing beautiful In nature this is the I most interesting period of the year at Col. Trexlor's Sallsburg hatchery, trhoro Superintendent John P. Crev ellng Is now his busiest, with the spawning and incubating season at Us height. "Some people are Interested In trout only to catch them, but those who study them from tho standpoint of a naturalist, are deeply Interested in tho hatching process. "From the stock of 225,000 parent fish in the ponds, Mr. Crovoling and liis assistants are stripping about 1, 200,000 eggs. They could get 10, 000.000 if they wanted them, but from 1,200,000 that will be secured ho expects to batch a million fry. Tho eggs are placed in llttlo wire trays and placed In long troughs, about 15,000 eggs to a tray. For forty days the water, just above tho freezing point, runs over them. The eggs, very small when spawned, swell to the size of a largo pea to ward tho end of the period of in oubation, and then, during tho bliz zards of January and February in tho coldest water known, Just above the freezing point, the tiny trout aro born. An Kfllcicnt Hntchcry. "Prospects for tho coming season aro excellent, and It is believed re sults will bo moro satisfactory. Un der the skillful care of Superintend ent Crevellng, who Is credited with being a descendant of Izaak Walton, this hatchery has been developed Into the most efficient in existence. "Until the last few years It was tbo practice of trout breeders to hatch fry and get rid of them when half to three-quarters of an Inch long, planting them In streams whero they aro a prey to innumerable natural enemies, Including bigger trout, eels, plko and floods. Ninety-nine per cent, and more of these trout fry perished and not one per cent, ever grew to catchablo size. It is a com plaint voiced by all anglers that mil lions of fry are planted, but no one ever hears of a thousand being caught. liaises Cutchnhlo Fish. "Full of fish wisdom from years of experience, Mr. Crevellng decided tho thing to do was to tako caro of tho trout at tho hatchery until they were of such sizo that they could tako caro of themselves when planting in trout streams. This theory struck Col. Trexler as being based on profound common sense, so much so that he spont lots Of monov in tho nnRrii'- tlon of ponds whero the fry might grow Into fish. They are kept until absolutely ablo to look out for them selves wnen given free raneo In a stream. Some go away at three in ches long, but in every single flsh that goes away from this hatchery muru is me potentiality of a catch oy an angler. The chancos aro not that one of two In a thousand may grow to bo catchablo, as Is tho case when tho fry aro planted, but there ib a certainty tnat 100 por cent, either aro or will bo catchablo flsh when they leave tho hatchery. A Wise Fish Man. "A native of New Jersey, Mr. Crevellng has been a flsh m-m nmn. tlcally tho C8 years of his llfo and ho has associated with tho leading trout breeders of their day during the last iwu Keiiorauons. His teacher was Tad Norrls, the greatest fisherman Now Jersey ever produced, and Tad learned from Seth Green, of Roches ter, and Seth was taught by Stephen A. Alnsworth. of Caledonia, N. Y , who Is credited with having mado the lirst attompt in America to pro pagate trout artificially. The hatch eries of these old pioneers were not to be compared with those of to day, and generally consisted not of a series or ponds, but of a stroam Fry had only had tbo freedom of tho stream tho minute they were hatch ed, but actually were hatched In the streams and tho percentage of de struction was frightful. "The artificial breeding of trout was in fact looked upon as a wlld dream until Dr. Slack, tho great Philadelphia enthulast of forty years ago, bought out tho hatchery of Tad iVorrls in North Jorsoy and installed Mr. CrevoIIng as the man In charge. After several years ho attained such a reputation that tho farsoolng trout enthusiasts of Pennsylvania of that day began to look upon trout culturo as a good thing. Although In thoBo days there woro still bo many trout in the streams of Pennsylvania that a present-day angler would bavo con sidered them a paradise, tho trout fishermen of that day began to bo como alarmed, nobody more so than old Senator Simon Cameron. After somo discussion Mr. Cameron and a fow other trout lovers "began to ad vocate tho establishing of a fisheries department for Pennsylvania In 1870. First Fish Commission. "The legislature ridiculed tho Idea and declined to make any approprla- REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR REPRESENTATIVE FRED C. REICH ENBACKER lloncsdnlc, Pn.

Ho alBO favors free bridges on tho Delaware, provided that the cost of acquisition and all futuro ex pense of such bridges bo borno by the states of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jorsey. Ho was placed In nomination for state senator of the Fourteenth dis trict (Wayne, P!ke, Monroe and Carbon) by tho conferees of Wayno at Stroudsburg in 190S and during tho deadlock had the highest voto of any candidate; but, notwith standing the nomination belonged to Wayne, his namo was withdrawn on tho fifty-second ballot and tho nom ination went to Carbon county. Mr. 'Itelehenbacker was born in Honesdalc. Pa., in 1SC4, and was educated in the Ilonesdale schools and learned tho druggist's business and has followed the business for 27 consecutive years. His father and grandfather woro Wayne county farmers, having settled here about the middle of tho last century. He has always been an active and con sistent Republican, 'but never held office and asks your support at the Primary Election Saturday, April 13. 1912, from 2 to 8 p. m. tlon. Two years later, however, a start was made, and tho first Penn sylvania Fisheries commission was appointed, consisting of Col. James M. Guffey, of Pittsburg, the lato Judge Howard Jleedor, of Easton, and Ben Hewitt, of Hollldaysburg. They established tho first hatchery in Pennsylvania at tho home of Simon Cameron, Donegal Springs, Lancaster county, and Mr. Choveling was put In charge. 'Hero Is whero it came about that the present 'Pennsyl vania fisheries department is tho apostolic child of Isaak Walton, since the four Duller boys, who are to-day superintendents of four big stato hatcheries in Pennsylvania, were taught to propagate trout by Mr. Crevellng William Duller, sup erintendent at Corry; 'Howard Dul ler, superintendent at Bollefonto: Nathan R. Duller, late superintend ent at Pleasant Mount, now State FIsb Commissioner, and Abraham G, Duller, superintendent at Union City, His Theories Spreading. 'The theory of Mr. Crevellng to care for trout and protect them from enemies until they can caTo for them selves, has met with tho approbation of no loss an authority than United States Fish Commissioner George M Bowers, and tho United States gov- eminent now sends out only flnger- nngs. The state or New Jersey has abandoned the Jersey hatcborles, which planted only fry and spends its money securing catchable flsh. The results have been a wonderful stlmu lation to tho sport of trout fishing In New Jorsey where within tho past year or two, in rree puulic streams, trout havo been aa plentiful as in many a preserve. Mr, Croveling's theory or trout propagation has spread beyond' the seas, and Inter ested the governments of Peru and Sweden. INGLEHART. (Special to The Citizen ) Inglehart, April 4.

( JACKSON. Several have asked mo personally and others by letter how I stand on tho following questions and havo re quested me to publish a statumcnt of my views. I assumo that tho pub' 11c at this time hna a right to know. I favor tho election of U. S. Sena tors by direct voto of tho people. There seems to bo a question or a misunderstanding as to how I stand on tho above question, somo of my friends throughout tho country being under tho Impression that I voted against tho proposed resolu tion at tho last session of the legisla ture. Tho fact Is that It did not come to a vote at all but was In a very unfair and underhanded way ruled out until too late to present to Congress before tho adjournment of that body last winter. I did, how ever, bavo the pleasure of signing a petition to congress with, I think, about eighty-five others who would havo voted for It sotting forth our position on tho above question. I am a farmer and as such am In terested In all that the farmer and the farmers' organization, the Grange, aro interested in and if elected will favor any and all legisla tion In their behalf. Any legislation In favor of the wage-earner upon whom tho farmer Is to a great extent dependent, will also receive my support. I am In favor of free bridges on the Delaware and will use all honor able means to obtain them. I am In Tavor of tho people having a voice in the making of our laws and am, therefore, In favor of local option and all other measures which give tho voters a chance to say how and by what laws we shall bo gov erned; and shall favor such legisla tion as will offer the freest and full est expression of citizens on ques tions concerning the government of the State.
