The Anglers Association of Onondaga, of 

 Syracuse, "N. T., one of the largest associations 

 of the kind in New York State, and the New 

 York State College of Forestry at Syracuse, 

 have decided upon a cooperative plan for the 

 utilization of the fine springs at the college 

 nursery as a trout nursery and for fish ponds. 

 The college furnishes the site and the anglers 

 pay for the man to care for the fish, etc. The 

 general plan is to care for the young trout 

 fingerlings, received from the Conservation 

 Commission in the spring, and to carry them 

 over the summer in this nursery and then 

 plant them in the fall, at a more favorable 

 season and in better condition. This is the 

 practise now so successfully followed at Home, 

 N. Y., under the leadership of Mr. Harry 

 Ackley, president of the Rome Fish and Game 

 Association. The fish nursery and ponds will 

 be available to the college for the instruction 

 of its students in the course on fish and game 

 taught to forestry students by Dr. 0. 0. 

 Adams.
