ordinarily distributes in the spring months, putting them out as 

 fin^erlings in September or October. Tliis cooperative assistance 

 will be a great aid to the bureau, and it is believed it will go far 

 toward increasing the supply of fish life in the streams and lakes. 



OUTPUT 



The output of the fish-cultural stations and of the rescue fields 

 bordering the Mississippi River aggregated 5,301,950,325 fish and 

 fish eggs. Losses in transportation amounted to 87,742, leaving a 

 net output of 5,301,862,583 actually distributed, which shows a 

 falling off of approximately 60,000,000, as compared with last year's 

 figures. Practically the entire production of the commercial fishes 

 was returned to the waters in which the eggs originated.
