 proach of the spawning season the removal of a large por-

"What has been said regarding the requirements and 

 care of the rainbow trout will apply with equal force to the 

 brook trout, except that the latter being native to swift 

 mountain streams of the north, with occasional deep pools, 

 will require colder water and a more rapid current. This 

 species grows more slowly than the rainbow trout and 

 does not attain so large a size. It spawns in fall, the sea- 

 son usually beginning in September or October and con- 

 tinuing to the middle of December. Under ordinary con- 

 ditions the rainbow trout will be found to give greater sat- 

 isfaction, and the pond culturist who contemplates opera- 

 tions on a small scale is advised to select that species." 



Assignment of Fish to Applicants: 



The Bureau of Fisheries is prepared to furnish trout 

 to parties who may desire to stock public or private wa- 

 ters, and blanks upon which to make application therefor 

 will be sent to you upon request. Delivery of the trout 

 will be made by the government free of charge to your 

 nearest station as soon as your order is reached. 



Winter Camping: 



The foremost consideration in planning a winter camp- 

 ing trip is the selection of wearing apparel and camp neces- 

 sities. 



In buying clothing it is of prime importance to select 

 something not so much for its attractiveness as for its 

 warmth-giving qualities. Apparel that will successfully 

 keep off the chill rigors of winter. 



It is unnecessary to recommend any particular brand 

 of clothing. There are many good kinds of winter cloth- 

 ing adaptable for camping. The climate in your section, 

 of course, will dictate the weight of it.
