counted into a screen and placed in a small narrow pond, with a 
good current of water running through the screen. These fish 
were fed entirely on the so-called Chicago fish food, (showing 
sample). ‘They were fed nearly every hour for 10 days. when 
those that had not starved to death were so weak that they could 
hardly swim, so I concluded that as far as Chicago was con- 
cerned it is out of the race for the present as to food for L. M. 
bass fry. I intended trying many other experiments in feeding 
bass of this length, but, my time being taken up with shipping 
and other work, could not get to it. If there are any members 
here who have tried feeding these fish as fry, would be pleased 
to hear what success they have met with. 
The output from the Mill Creek Station this season up to 
July the 14th is as follows:

We still have 1,000 yearlings to ship and If think 50,000 a 
fair estimate of what fingerlings there are left in the ponds. 
None of the ponds has been drawn off, so it is somewhat hard 
to tell. 
DISCUSSION. 
Mr. Titcomb: Do I understand he got 800,000 and odd bass 
from this station this year? 
Mr. Lydell: That includes three avrxiliary ponds that you 
do not see here. 
“Mr. Titeomb: As large as these ? 
Mr. Lydell: Yes, two of them larger than these. 
Mr. Titcomb: It is extremely good work even then. The
