BUREAU OF FISHERIES 85 
The Bureau has also been the beneficiary of C. C. C. labor at a number 
of stations, including that at Lamar, Pa., and York Pond, N. H. 
In the western region, a number of minor improvements have been 
made at several locations. The construction of hatcheries at Norris 
Dam, Tenn., and Hoffman, N. C., under the auspices of the Tennessee 
Valley Authority and the Resettlement Administration, respectively, 
has been actively prosecuted and the former has been completed. 
Both of these new establishments are now being operated and main- 
tained by the Bureau as far as fish cultural activities are concerned. 
At the close of the year, a special appropriation of $60,000 had become 
available providing for the relocation of the Little White Salmon, 
Wash., salmon hatching station. This action was necessary because 
of the fact that the pool created by the Bonneville Dam would flood 
out part of the existing station and limit fish cultural activities. At 
the close of the year work had just started on the relocation of this 
hatchery at a point on the Wind River in the National Forest area. 
COOPERATION WITH OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES 
Integration of the work of the various Federal conservation 
agencies, Insofar as the stocking of waters on Federal lands is con- 
cerned, has had a practical trial of several years’ duration. It is 
working out very satisfactorily and the provision of fish for the Na- 
tional Forests, National Parks, and other federally controlled areas 
is on a much more sound and intelligent basis. The United States 
Forest Service has established several additional rearing ponds and 
nurseries both for bass and trout and the Bureau has supplied the 
fish and, where necessary, provided the services of experienced care- 
takers. The United States Forest Service has constructed a new 
hatchery and rearing unit in the Pisgah National Forest and this has 
been taken over for operation by the Bureau. The Bureau is also 
working in active cooperation with the Tennessee Valley Authority 
toward the construction by that agency of a new hatchery on the Elk 
River. It is expected that this hatchery will be operated and main- 
tained by the Bureau on completion as has been done with a smaller 
unit located at Norris Dam. Effort is being made in cooperation 
with the Park Service to secure a tract of land suitable for the erec- 
tion of a new hatchery for supplying Glacier National Park. While 
these comprise the outstanding instances of coordinated Federal con- 
servation work, there have been numerous contacts with other agencies 
interested in the maintenance of fish life and in almost all instances 
practical beneficial results have been forthcoming. 
During the past year the technologists of the Division of Fishery 
Industries engaged in a cooperative study with the Bureau of Chem- 
istry and Soils and the Food and Drug Administration, United States 
Department of Agriculture, for the development of standards for 
halibut liver oil essential in the administration of the Federal Food 
and Drug Act and for other purposes. Some practical studies on the 
freezing of oysters also were carried on in the Seattle laboratory of 
the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils. The National Bureau of Stand- 
ards cooperated with our technological staff in the development of net 
measuring devices for experimental use in the fisheries of the Great 
Lakes. In conjunction with the United States Department of Agri-
