MARKS SCIENTIFIC TRIUMPH The planting of the first 10,000 "syn thetic" oysters was completed recent ly by the New York State Conservation Commission at Cold Spring Harbor. Three hundred and thirty million baby incubator oysters were liberated at Oyster Bay and Northport, while experiments are proceeduig to cross breed I'.lue Points and Lynnhavena, Cape Cods and Jamaica oysters, Greou ports and Delaware Bays with the ob ject of creating new types of oysters with more meat, improed flavor and prettier shells. The 10,000 "synthetic" oysters were made ready tor planting by a process developed since 1920 by the state con servation commission. This process is many million times as efficient aa nature's method of breeding oysters. A female oyster, the most prolific of all riving things, lays from ten to a hundred million eggs in a season. Only about one in a million of these is fer tilized and only about one in a hun dred million grows up to be an oyster. The artificial method fertilizes nearly 90 per cent of the eggs and promises to enable a large proportion of them to grow to maturity. Many Oyster Beds Barren. The system of making a million eggs grow where only one grew before was developed by the state conservation commission to meet a desperate situa tion in the oyster industry. Since li10 the production of cultivated oyster beds has been cut in half. Oysters have been harvested faster than they could breed naturally. Thousands of acres of oyster beds have been ren dered barren. For example, the rev enue of Rhode Island from taxing oys ter beds has been cut from $135,000 to $12,000 a year. i The now fully developed process of growing them artificially promises to correct all this, to restock the barren I acreage, to produce all the seed oys-: ters that are needed and to grow hardier and better strains of oysters.; "In 1019 when the commission first considered the plan of growing oysters artificially from the egg the idea was j ridiculed." said William Firth Wells, biologist of the state conservation com mission, who has been rearing the "synthetic" oysters In a small room in one of the towers of the bridge at Bayvil'e. It was something like proposing perpetual motion machines to phy sicists. Every kind of effort had been made to raise oysters from the egg and they all failed. It was proved by Pro fessor Brooks of Johns Hopkins in 1S79 that the oyster eggs could be im pregnated or fertilized artificially and made to go through the first stage of their development. But the oyster egg Is a thing only one four-hundredth part of an inch in diameter and it is not much larger in its embryonic stage. Water Cleansed in Separator. It is so small that the physical problem of changing the water so as to g4ve the growing oysters clean water and a fresh food supply prove! insu perable. The use of filters proved im possible. Anything coarse enough to filter out the Impurities filtered out the oysters as well. Anything fine enough to filter out the Impurities clogged every time. "This deadlock continued until 1920. The thing that broke it was the use of a centrifugalizing machine like a cream separator. When the water was be ginning to become stale, It was put in the separator. It was feared that tha machine whirling at 7,000 revolutions a minute would crush the minute or ganisms. Tills was not the case. They stuck to the walls of the separator. When the stale water was completely eliminated the future oysters were rinsed out into clean water. Every two days this centrifugalizing process was repeated for two weeks. By that time the larvae had grown thin, trans parent silvery shells and were large enough so that fresh water could be Introduced and the impurities filtered out without their escaping. "This process has been developing and Improving up to the present and the hatch of young oysters we have Just planted Is the first large setting we have reared artificially. Next year they will be served on the halfshell to oyster planters In different parts of the coast. They will be small oys ters, for it takes four or five years for them to attain maturity, but they will show what can be done artificially." The discovery of artificial breeding methods may be a greater benefit to Europe than It Is to this country. Oysters have been caught faster than they bred practically everywhere In Eu rope, and have become a luxury. Oys ters are the greatest American sea crop, and the annual harvest here la more than four-fifths of the world's annual harvest. ED. LEACH'S Community Sale!

Broken Bow Residents Granted In junction Restraining County Attorney Interfering. Lincoln, Dec. 21. Residents of Broken Bow are taking no chance on interference with a lottery now being conducted there and have ob tained, through County Judge C. H. Holcomb, an injunction enjoining County Attorney William C. Schaper from any action that will interfere wtih their plans, it developed today when Schaper wrote to the attorney general's office for advice. Under the plan now being pursued purchasers of a dollar's worth of merchandise from Broken Bow mer chants are entitled to a ticket which may bear a number entitling them to a dairy cow. Drawings are held once a week and the holder of the 10th number drawn gets the cow, which may be sold at once at auction, if the winner does not want the ani mal, the proceeds going to the owner. Schaper, in his letter, declares that Holcomb is a member of the commit tee of the Public Service club, which Is conducting the lottery, and that he issued the injunction in the absence of District Judge Bruno O. Hostetler. In his petition for the injunction Henry L. Possehl, chairman of the committee, says the plan is "for the public good" and it entitles each ticket holder to become a joint owner or possibly an entire owner of cer tain dairy cows. He carefully avoids any mention of the word "lottery," but Attorney General O. S. Spillman today said that the scheme obviously was a violation of the state lottery law, which excludes anything that has an element of chance in it. After a oenference late this after noon with Schaper, Spillman an nounced that he would send his as sistant Lee Basey, to Broken Bow to night in an endeavor to straighten out the situation. It is expected a New York. Dec. 23.
