Naturally the more important the 

 waterway and the more persons affected, 

 the more willing the United States Bu- 

 reau of Fisheries and the state fish com- 

 missions are to render assistance in fur- 

 nishing eggs and fry. If a description 

 of the local conditions is sent to the 

 nearest fish expert he will furnish in- 

 formation regarding the best kind of 

 fish to raise in any particular stream 

 and the proper treatment of the fry af- 

 ter they have been received. The tem- 

 perature and other features of the water 

 as well as the possible sources of con- 

 tamination are very important factors 

 in determining the kind of fish which 

 will thrive best in the water in question. 

 These matters are better understood by 

 the fish expert than by the average 

 farmer. If one contemplates stocking 

 a stream, therefore, it is always desir- 

 able to get the advice of the nearest ex- 

 pert. A request addressed to the "su- 

 perintendent of the fish hatchery," with 

 the postoffice address of the hatchery 

 from which help is wanted, will bring 

 the desired information. The various 

 state fish commissions carry on similar 

 lines of work and also stand ready to 

 help in stocking streams.
