Fullerton. — Future of the Brook Trout 101 



at your eggs, look at your fry, and compare the results of 

 both methods of which I have spoken. The government, 

 which is the largest purchaser of eggs from the commercial 

 stations and which has done and is doing such splendid work 

 in stocking our streams, ought to take up this matter, look 

 into it, and see if there is not something to my warning. 

 There should be a demand, before you buy any eggs, that 

 the parent fish should be kept in ponds or a stream that is 

 suitable, and that natural food has Been furnished the fish. 

 It will then be only a short time until we are back on the 

 right road from which we wandered a few years ago. Then 

 will the future of our trout be assured.
