r-fm -i? The Commoner- VOLUME 4, NUMBER 3 16 p ll, I'.- f" Tho FuturofTh Oytr As tho Chesapeake oystor crop has grown annually less, tho gonoral de mand has grown annually greater. Tho oystor appetite prevails from tho Al loghonles to tho Rockies, and the great lntcrioi has in tho past looked to the Chesapeake Bay to meet the demand for tho savory mollusk. But in re cent years this gonoral demand has been supplied largely from the bayous and estuaries of tho gulf coast. The inlets from the Lond Island sound and those that indent tho. coast of Now Jorsoy are also producing an out put of high-grade oysters that is in creasing constantly from a caieful and intelligent system of artificial culture. Many of these northern beds arc sup plied with young oysters from the low er Chesapeake, especially from Vir ginia waters. Original propagation ha& beon adopted in many of tho northern waters whore the natural sup ply has become almost extinct. Not withstanding the fact that tho oyster product has been Increased vastly in other sections by artificial breeding, the present price of tho oyster is dou ble that which prevailed a generation back. It is to be feared that the oys ter may in 'time become a high-priced dainty instead of a general article of diet. Baltimore American. CLUB LIST.
