To Tho Fisherman o( Eastern North Carolina (Continued from page 1) iocxuse the sice of the meah so the small fish will not be caught. Many ol the fiahenacn claim that la a net having S inches mesh the fish are gtlled and be* come emmeshed. This is prob ably tree to a certain extent, but it seems to bs that it is better to kubatk to this evil than "grind ap the seed corn. Many ol the States now having as s minimum the 8 inch mesh are shipping great quantities ol fish into this State, which shows that It is prac tics hie to use this sis* net. We have made some Investiga tions and are ol the opinion that il the nets are made ol larger twine this trouble will be reme died to a great extent. We realise that lor certain classes ol fishermen sad lor some conditions, this rule will have to be modified in a measure, and we will consider, before it goes Into effect, what modification shall be made, and we will exer cise oar judgment in the matter in such a manner as to do the least harm to the fishermen, while at the same time protecting the future supply of fish. inis law does not go into ef fect uotil Sept. 1st, 1919. and having adopted the 8 Inch mesh as a standard siae, the Board can . hereafter reduce the siae mesh in particular cases, and put its rule into effect immediately. The Board earnestly hopes that those engaged in the fishing in dustry of the State will aid it ia its efforts to benefit them'and their descendants, as it is actuat ed by no motive except one for their good. It is very probable that when this rule goes ioto ef fect the Board will then modify tts rales as to the siae of bsb that can be caught and told and per mit all that arc caught in the larger rise mesh to be sold, sad In the meantime the Board wii) condone to make a careful study ol all the conditions affecting the fWming industry and make such regulations as will be of ad van The Board will meet at Edcn too on the second day of October and probably at various times st other places hi the fishing terri tory when It trill be glad to bear the views of thorn affected by its < actions.
