MOUNT WHITNEY HATCHERY. 



Mount AVhitney Hatchery has been operated to its full capacity during 

 the last two seasons. The remarkable growth of the fry in this liatchery 

 still attracts the attention of the applicants and fish culturists. 



During the fall of 1921, an epidemic appeared among the fry at this 

 hatchery that caused considerable concern for a time but a protracted 

 treatment brought the fry out in good condition witli a very small loss. 

 "We were assisted in our investigation of this disease by the members of 

 the State Board of Health and the state bacteriologist at Berkeley, who 

 kindly made laboratory examinations for our department, as our labora- 

 tory equipment has not been unpacked owing to the fact that we have 

 not been able to procure a room in which to work.
