Many Baby Bass Ind Blue Gills Planted This Year Indianapolis, Jnd Dec. 18 —(Spec ial.)—The division of fish and game of the stat? conservation department broke a record this year in pidpagat-, ing and planting In the public waters of Indiana, baby black b.s- t and blue gills, according to George N. Mannfeld, superintendent. Mannfeld has just filed a report with the conservation director in which he says that contrary to expectations, the new hatchery al Avoca in laiwrence county, in its first year 6f operation, produced many thousand more infant- fish than anticipated, thus enabling the department to add thousands of stock fish to the usual year’s output. The report shows a total of 1,128,025 black bass propagated, while the total output of bine gills was 318,854. The total number of fish of all species planted was 1,978.753 and aside from black bass and blue gills, the department produced and planted 511.000 yellow perch. 32,000 rock bass, 29,8)10 crappie, 27,200 channel cattish and 1.874 yellow catfish. It will he noted that the department only propagated game fish species, and that also during the year, wardens rescued from back and overflow waters 79,586 imperiled gam ( > fish and replanted them in various parts of the state. These fish would have died had not this work been conducted. The report carries a detailed account of the work of the Avoca hatchery operated for the first time this season. This hatchery, fifth in the chain of state hatcheries, is designed to supply a large portion of southern Indiana and makes unnecessary the shipping of stock fish from distant hatcheries in the north. The Avoca hatchery produced 59,387 black bass of both the small and large-mouth
