CROSS-BREEDING SALMON. 
The cross-breeding of salmon has been ac¬ 
complished by Dr. E. Victor Smith, assistant 
professor in the department of zoology in the 
University of Washington at Seattle. Hundreds 
of the new breed are developing from fry to 
fish at the state hatchery at Auburn. It is a 
cross between the king and silver salmon. 
The experiments started last October. The 
king eggs treated with silver sperm developed 
fry that died in great numbers, many of them 
showing strange malformations. On the other 
hand, the silver eggs treated with king sperm 
developed a hardy breed having characteristics 
of both the original varieties. It is hoped that 
it will possess the canning qualities of the silver 
and the pink tint of the king; but this is a matter 
which cannot be decided for months to come. 
Dr. Smith will now turn his attention to cross¬ 
breeding the hump, dog and sockeye salmon with 
the king and silver varieties, and with one an¬ 
other. He lays stress at present upon the purely 
scientific results of his experiments but admits 
that they may have great economic value. 
“Cross-breeding of fish has been tried before,” 
said Dr. Smith. “European scientists a few 
years ago developed crosses between different 
species of trout. No general definite results 
have ever been published. It is possible that 
the great number of species of trout may be 
due to successive periods of cross-breeding. If 
so, I believe the experiments now under way 
will be successful.” 
At the request of the United States Fish Com¬ 
missioner, and with his aid, Dr. Smith is making 
a study, in connection with the breeding ex¬ 
periments, of the food for salmon. “Before 
the Government can take any intelligent steps 
source,” he said, “it is imperative that we know 
the life history of the fish. We know a great 
deal about the salmon, but we haven’t been 
able yet to trace its feeding habits when young. 
“Salmon when young eat small crustaceans. 
We have found that these minute arthropoda 
form the principal diet of young herring. The 
herring, which occur in great numbers in the 
Northern Pacific, eat up the food supply of the 
salmon. But then we have found that, a little 
later, the salmon eat the small herring. So it is 
to determine whether any useless fish in the sea 
eat the same feed as fish that are useful to 
us, and of great economic importance, that these 
experiments are being conducted. The number 
of any kind of fish is determined largely by the 
food supply. If it is determined that useless 
fish are reducing the food supply of the salmon, 
it will next be in order to plan for its conserva¬ 
tion or the killing of the invading fish.” 
QUAIL SURVIVE. 
Tuano, Va., April 30, 1914 - 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
The middle of March I took my pointer dog 
out to see what I could see. I was afraid the 
hard winter had killed the birds (quail). I found 
eight coveys ranging from four to eight—a 
splendid nucleus for this fall. If the rains in 
June do not drown the young, we will have a 
superabundance this fall. 
Yours for clean sport,
