Os this number. 1.512,600 were yellow perch, 605.600 black bass. 12.500 crappie. 9,300 rock bass and 7,026 bluegills. On account of the late spawning of bluegills and channel catfish this year, deliveries of these species have been delayed. Some difficulty was also encountered, officials say. in the propagation of crappie, this being one of the most difficult specie to handle, especially In making deliveries. Fishing in Hoosier waters has been good in certain localities, but in some not up to the usual standard owing to high and roily waters at the start of the season. The department has received reports, according to George N. Mannfeld, of numerous large fish I caught this season. One angler reported a large-mouth black bass taken from a northern lake that weighed 8 pounds and 11 ounces. —-o— ——— Mt. Vernon —Friends of Raymond Smith have received word of his death in the recent Florida hurricanes. Smith had left this vicinity because of the terrific tornado which swept southern Indiana In 1925.
