THE PATTON COURIER | Salmon Range Widely Anacortes, Wash.—When you eat salmon this sumer you may wonder whence comes food fish. It is still a question mark. Salmon tife in the Pacific ocean is still a mystery How does the salmon fry find its way to 1.e feeding grounds in the salt this sea? Where does it learn to return again to the parent stream, or one contiguous thereto, as it has been proved many of them do? Where are these feeding grounds of the vast sil ver hordes that corie up yearly in summer from their home in the deep? How far do they travel, going or com ing? What do they live upon? No one “nows, exactly, but facts have beer ascertainea The salmon domain is almost incal some culable in its immensity. They range all the way from Monterey, lif., us fur northward as the Arctic circle and even as far easterly on the top of the world as the Mackenzie river on the American side and from Japan to the wortherumost streams of Siberia on the Asiatic seaboard of the Pacific It is generally believed that the young of saimon lay off the continental pla teau to a depth of about 100 fathoms and find their feeding grounds there Just what they feed on never has been ascertained, but the king und a few species of salmon when the old home movement is at its zenith— shortly before they reach the river mouths—will snap at a spoon troll with avidity. Trolling for these big fish is an industry along the coast from Seward, Alaska, to the Columbia river With the exception of those caught maear the confluence of the rivers with salt water, salmon—Ilike shad, herring, mackerel and other migratory fishes are never found at sea. They just vanish. When salmon fry go to sea that is the last seen of them. But when the snshore invasion of mature salmon sommence it begins to the westward along the Aleutian islands, because there they are found and netted eurly in May. Canning companies in operat: ing floating canneries plan to leave port in time to reach the northern aaunts of salmon and take some of the irst comers. They are fat, heavy and well meated. The large thirty-pound king salmon first and followed by the sockeye, or red salmon. Soon after they tppear in Cook’s inlet pear Anchorage, then in Prince William sound off Brit ome are Span Grand ish Columbia. Along the coast from June to July, salmon appear in regu various species. In Au gust, Puget sound. the Fraser river und other streams are filled with the rushing salmon trying to reach spawn- ing grounds. The Columbia river is the last of the fishing streams to get salmon runs. By tugging six or eight-inch salmon fry before releasing thew from hatch eries the fisheries bureau has been able to check the return of many spe- cies of these fish. Even in midocean an occasional tagoed salmon has been taken in herring or mackerel nets, but little light has been added to its life of three to four years absence. Most salmon experts believe the Alaska and west coast fish are en dowed with a sense the human does not possess. Their theory is that when the off-shore movement commences salmon scent fresh water from afar and follow the scent until either they enter the stream of their nativity or one very close to it. A distinct difference between the Atlantic and Pacific salmon is that the former after spawning in fresh water returns while the Pacific salmon after making arrangements for a myriaa reproduction of its kind. dies. Once it leaves its feeding grounds in the salt water salmon takes no food, and in fact, it is believed to become incapable of eating. On rare occasions, male silver salmoa will take ¢ trout fly and steel head salmon will bite at salmon eggs in late winter. lar cycles of to the sea. Elaborate »slans are being worked out along the Pacific coast fishing ports, sponsored by the fisheries bu- reau, for more accurate knowledge of salmon. WHAT THEY 9 ARE FOR By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. HAVE at one time or another in my life joined a good many things, at- tached myself to a considerable num- ber of enterprizes, become a member of groups or an advocate of move- ments. Sometimes this relationship has been developed so rapidly and so without deliberation that | have not had time seriously to consider what it was all about. I am paying dues in organizations now whose halls 1 have not visited since the night | was initiated, and sometimes I stop and ask myself what they are all for— these groups of which I am in many cases so ineffective a part. I am sen- sible enough to realize without much thought that no man is justified in allying himself with an organization of any sort wholly or even in large part for what it will do for him, but rather for what he may be able to do for the benefit and the advance- ment of the group.

Many farmers and poultrymen have believed it possible that certain chem- medicine or fcals administered as mixed with feed or water may protect | their animals from external parasites. Ignorant and unscrupulous dealers, particularly in the poultry business, have played on this belief. The pre- vailing idea is that the material is taken up by the blood and then ex- creted on the surface. Many believe that the parasites are either poisoned in this way, or else that a condition is induced which makes the fowl dis- pleasing to its parasites and causes them to leave. Vendors of nostrums have sold liquids, tablets and powders for use in this way. The insecticide authorities in the United States De- partment of Agriculture have issued warnings against these remedies, and in many cases have forced the mak- ers to cease advertising and selling the frauds. In Technical Bulletin 60-T, “Ineffec- tiveness of Internal Medication of Poultry for the Control of External Parasites,” just off the press, depart- mental investigators give the results of experiments on which they based their opposition to this fakery.

A tree near his veranda is the home of a green bamboo snake, and his ond is a resort for water snakes, which feed on the fish and amphibians that cone there to breed. The house it- self has its reptile invaders, little soft bodied lizards called “house geckos,” which take up their abode wherever moths are attracted by lights. Many of his specimens are drawn from the numerous odd forms of fish that thrive in Siam, where the dry season have forced them to adapt themselves to withstand its rigors Some, as described by Doris M. Coch- ran, assistant curator of the division of reptiles and batrachians of the mu- seum, spend as long as four months in damp soil. As a result, fishing in Siam often resembles the old-fashioned method of placer mining, the popular “serpent heads” being dug out of dried-up marshes fron. a depth of two or three feet. The climbing perch is described as the most remarkable of the fish in this class. [It can climb steep canal banks with its tail and large pectoral fins and goes overland from one body of water to another, traveling as fast as A man walking slowly.
