At a later period there were a good many small fish and fry taken 
from the waters near Havana, and put into other waters where there 
was a scarcity of fish. 
It is the plan of the commission to use the Havana hatchery next 
year exclusively for the hatching of buffalo. 
This is an important food fish and has been steadily decreasing in 
the upper waters of the Illinois River for a number of years. With the 
aid of the hatchery it is expected that the waters of the State will be 
replenished and that the buffalo will be as plentiful as they once were 
in the waters where commercial fishermen have been in the habit of 
seining for this fish. 
Havana is so situated that the fish fry from the hatchery at that 
place can be economically distributed if the work is confined to hatching 
buffalo. The waters in which this fish is needed are easily reached from 
Havana. | 
The following table shows the number of fish hatched at Havana 
hatchery and the distribution of the fry:
