Congressman Herbert C. Bon
ner. Chairman of the committee
which authorized -the construc
tion of the new fish hatchery, J
will also be present to meet the,
distinguished visitors and take
part in the program. He was
very much interested in a new
fish hatchery in Edenton and
will be one of the most delight
ed persons to see the project
brought to its culmination.
The new fish hatchery site
takes in about 65 acres, with
23 ponds, putting about 19 acres
under water, with some of the
ponds already stocked. In the
ponds are blue gills, large mouth
bass, red-ears and striped bass.
On the site are two residences,
a garage building, a building
housing the office, acquarium
and laboratory and a fish hold
ing house.

began as an apprentice fish cul

in 1898 and operations were be
gun in 1900. The big year for
the hatchery was in 1913 when
100.000.000 shad eggs were
handled. The hatchery bred yel
low and white perch, shad, her
ring and some species of sport
fish. However, the demand for
game fish began to increase,
which is the primary reason
for constructing the new hatch
ery.

will be held at 12:30 at the old
fish hatchery, where there is
more space for parking, after
