The plants range in numbers from 150 to 5,000, according to size 

 of fish and advance of season. Fish are generally carried in bag- 

 gage cars in charge of a messenger, who attends to the plant, also. 

 The United States Fish Commission has rendered us great assist- 

 ance in giving us the use of their cars for purposes of distribution 

 during both seasons. Without this aid we could not have covered 

 the same amount of territory with the amount of money at our dis- 

 posal for that purpose. 



In addition to the above named distribution we have supplied 221 

 private applicants, and have given our attention more particularly 

 to those who had provided proper ponds or lakes for the fish. To 

 supply every applicant would be impossible with the means at our 

 command, as they numbered nearly 1,600 during the two seasons, 

 and as all fish are delivered free of expense to the applicants it 

 would take a very large amount of money to supply all who apply, 

 as no employ^ of the Fish Commission is allowed to make any charge 

 or accept any money for service. 



A great many applications are received from people whose ponds 

 are unsuited to the culture of any kind of fish, and to stock such 

 would be only time and money wasted. The culture of fish of any 

 kind requires some knowledge of proper conditions, if any measure 

 of success is expected, and they need proportionately as much care 

 as any other economic feature of the farm. Your Commissioners
