  MAINE 
  LOBSTER 
  CONFERENCE. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  lobster-cultural 
  work 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau 
  on 
  the 
  coast 
  of 
  Maine 
  

   there 
  has 
  grown 
  up 
  a 
  practice 
  which, 
  on 
  economic 
  grouiuLs, 
  can 
  

   hardly 
  be 
  defended. 
  This 
  has 
  comprised 
  the 
  purchase 
  of 
  egg-bear- 
  

   ing 
  lobsters 
  from 
  fishermen 
  and 
  (lealers 
  at 
  market 
  prices 
  and 
  the 
  

   release 
  of 
  the 
  lobsters 
  in 
  the 
  open 
  sea 
  after 
  their 
  eggs 
  had 
  been 
  

   stripped 
  from 
  them. 
  The 
  Ihnited 
  funds 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau 
  have 
  thus 
  been 
  

   diverted 
  from 
  the 
  real 
  work 
  of 
  lobster 
  culture 
  and 
  have 
  to 
  a 
  very 
  great 
  

   extent 
  been 
  wasted, 
  for 
  lobsters 
  whose 
  eggs 
  have 
  been 
  saved 
  may 
  

   very 
  properly 
  enter 
  into 
  the 
  trade; 
  as 
  a 
  matter 
  of 
  fact, 
  a 
  large 
  part 
  

   of 
  those 
  released 
  are 
  subsequently 
  caught 
  and 
  resold 
  by 
  the 
  fishermen.
