Statistics of the Oysteu Industry op New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 

 AND Delaware, 1911— Continued. 



DELAWARE— Continued. 



Note.— In New York the revenue to the State and towns from sales and leases of ovster grounds and 

 other sources in 1911 was $30,656. In New Jersey the revenue to the State was $29,412, and the cost of 

 administration $28,744. In Delaware the revenue to the State was $6,104. 



From the information now in hand, it is possible to present the 

 following approximate summary of the United States oyster crop, 

 the figures being partly estimated for several States in w^hich the 

 canvass has not yet been completed. It appears that an output of 

 over 37,000,000 bushels was valued at nearly $17,000,000, and that 

 while only a little more than half the product marketed came from 

 private grounds, this represented more than two-thirds of the total 

 values.
