﻿154 
  Sixteenth 
  Annual 
  Report 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  fishing, 
  from 
  last 
  year's 
  planting, 
  that 
  ran 
  from 
  seven 
  to 
  eight 
  

   inches 
  long. 
  That 
  I 
  consider 
  a 
  very 
  satisfactory 
  growth 
  for 
  fish 
  

   one 
  year 
  old. 
  A 
  few 
  large 
  Brook 
  and 
  Brown 
  Trout 
  were 
  again 
  

   this 
  year 
  taken 
  to 
  the 
  Cobleskill 
  fair 
  for 
  exhibit 
  through 
  the 
  fair 
  

   week. 
  

  

  As 
  the 
  spawning 
  season 
  is 
  near 
  at 
  hand 
  again 
  I 
  hope 
  to 
  procure 
  

   a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  Brook 
  Trout 
  eggs 
  from 
  our 
  own 
  stock 
  fish 
  and 
  

   nearby 
  waters. 
  

  

  The 
  spruce 
  and 
  pine 
  trees 
  which 
  were 
  set 
  out 
  here 
  on 
  State 
  land 
  

   last 
  year 
  by 
  the 
  Forestry 
  Department 
  are 
  doing 
  well. 
  

  

  I 
  suggest 
  that 
  an 
  appropriation 
  of 
  $150 
  be 
  procured 
  this 
  win- 
  

   ter, 
  to 
  be 
  used 
  for 
  improvements 
  during 
  the 
  coming 
  spring 
  for 
  

   cement 
  walks 
  around 
  races 
  and 
  cement 
  outlets 
  or 
  sluices 
  from 
  

   ponds, 
  and 
  a 
  few 
  other 
  things 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  needed. 
  

  

  Respectfully 
  yours,

  On

  during 
  a 
  visit 
  to 
  the 
  Delaware 
  Hatchery, 
  I

  R. 
  Graham 
  &

  all 
  in 
  

   good 
  condition. 
  There 
  were 
  about 
  3,000 
  fingerling
