Eastgate. — Planting Fish in an Alkali Lake 91 



A week ago I seined in Devils Lake, because it was said that 

 there were no longer any fish there. In spite of the difficulties of 

 seining in water filled with heavy vegetation I drew out three 

 large fish. It is merely a matter of business to restock the Lake. 

 If the people can be interested enough so that they will plant 

 the lake by millions instead of a few thousands it will be only a 

 matter of a little time till the lake will be as full of fish as it ever 

 was. The natural food supply is abundant. 



The density of Devils Lake varies greatly from April to the 

 last of August, at which time it reaches about its lowest stage. 



Those of you from the east do not have to deal with alkali 

 waters, but to those of you who do I would say, by all means get 

 in touch with your universities and have them make a complete 

 investigation.
