At the ineeption of the C. W. A. proojram in hite November, there 

 was ])repared a program provi(hng for the employment of 2,440 men 

 throughout the country and requiring $25,175 for materials and sup- 

 plies. This was approved and the work was pushed vigorously in 

 spite of adverse weather conditions in some sections. Forty different 

 stations were selected as locations for this activity, providing for 

 improvements at hatcheries which were not covered under the 

 r. W. A. program and also supplementing tlio direct allotments at 

 other points. For various reasons the maximum number of men 

 employed at one time was 2,269, but activities were continued up to 

 the close of the program at th.e end of April. The Marion (Ala.) 

 hatchery was left in an unfinished state, however, and a cash allotment 

 of $34,110 was received for the purpose of continuing the work after 

 the formal expii'ation of the C. W. A. activities. 



The net results, as far as the Bureau was concerned, were a signifi- 

 cant increase in the capacity for hatchery production, the placing of 

 plant and equipment in the iiighest state of repair and efficienc}", and 

 a lechiction of charges for maintenance and rei)air which will release 

 a greater proportion of the appropriation for strictly fish-cultural 

 activities. The following list shows the location of P. W. A. projects 

 and the amounts allotted to each:

COOPERATION WITH OTHER CONSERVATION AGENCIES 



Tlie National Planning Council, formed at the instance of the 

 Bureau of Fisheries for the purpose of coordinating activities of the 

 Federal Bureau of Fisheries and the State fish and game departments, 

 will find its most efl'ective function in the propagation and distribution 

 of fish. New fields for coojieration in the hatchery work have already 

 been developed and older relations strengthened and expanded. From 

 time to time there have arisen proposals to relinquisli much of the 

 Federal fish-cultural work to the States by transferring the hatcheries 

 to their jurisdiction. The general reaction of the State authorities
