SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT ' THE NORTH CAROLINA OYSTER BEDS. ' ; I li A Business which is Pursued in a Slov enly way, and. which if Properly Con ducted Might Grow into one of Great Importance. Accompanying the census report are numerous supplemental reports on tbe various industries of. the country. The iron and steel industry has been pub lished in these columns. A history of the fisheries, excluding Salt River, the abode of retired politicians, under direc tion of Prof. S. F. Baird, United States Commissioner of fish and fisheries, is an exceedingly valuable .contribution to piscatorial literature. But an appendix of this work which treats of the oyster industry of North Carolina-by Ernest Ingersoll, will be read by all lovers of the delicious bivalves as an earnest of what the Old North State can do if she tries, or in other words' that the oyster industry within her borders is but in its infancy. Speaking of this subject the writer says : In North Carolina the business in oysters and oyster-culture is! of small proportions, and is confined almost wholly to the Neuse river, Beaufort, and Wilmington. The census of 1860, imperfect of course in both estimates, gives North Carolina only $2,100 worth of oysters, compared with $53,145 credit ed to Virginia and $15,305 taken in Maryland. The inside of the outer "banks" on the long line of beaches that protect the inner submeaged area of nearly fresh water, from the demol ishing force of the ocean, is lined with oyster-growth to a greater or less degree along the whole extent, but these oys ters are not always either edible or available for commerce. Currituck sound was closed from the ingress of salt water forty years ago.and of course all marine lite has died out there. Albermarle sound is said to be the largest body of fresh water in the coun try, except the great lakes, and some times sweetens the water clear down to Roanoke island. Pamlico, sound, on the contrary, has inlets from the Atlan tic which make all its water, at least alone its eastern half, thoroughly saline, and permits a luxuriant oyster- . i mi . . ; l i . e l growm. xnis isavaiieu ol uy me sim ple fishermen ot these desolate oeaches and islands in a way that shows how a primative custom may survive for many years after the commonwealth in which it grew up has passed on to something more complicated and better fulfilling the same purpose. Of these fishermen there are about 300 between the middle of Core sound and Roanoke island, as I am informed by Mr. R. E. Earll, of the United States Fish com mission. Mr. Earll tells me that every winter, at intervals in their fishing, or in connection with it, ail or these fishermen are wont to" take loads of oysters, gathered on the outer banks, to the shore and river towns, perhaps twenty or tmrty miles away, and there dispose of them, not for cash but by a svstem of narrf-r. I he exchange is or dinarily n a u for corn, and the rate last winter was one uuaiitnol oysters in the shell for orie bushel of Indian corn in ear. Taking this together with what the families ot the fishermen eat, and these people live on oysters all the year round, with small interruption, Mr. Earll considers that forty and perhaps fifty thousand bushels a year, worth perhaps $10,000 reckoned in money, would no be too large an estimate to put upon this consumption. One ob tains from such a picture as this, an ap preciation of the importance of the oyster and the oyster trade, to the peo ple who live in the neighborhood of the beds, and of which little or no statisti cal account can usually be given. The first point of inquiry, which de velops any systematic or commercial! use of the oyster, is in the vicinity of Beaufort and Morehead City, which lie at the lower end of Core Sound, and on opposite sides of Newport river, whose mouth and inlet from the ocean form Beaufort; harbor, and separate Core Sound on the north from Bvgue Sound on the south. Tbe oysters brought to Beaufort come chiefly from the two sounds mentioned. They are almost always of natural growth, but the transplanting of seed has been done at a great many different points, and there will no doubt be considerable cultiva tion in a few years. An attempt was made in 1880 by a Baltimore firm to es tablish an iopening house at Beaufort, but inclination or circumstances caused its removal to Newberne. There is lit tle or no regular business in Beaufort, therefore. I am in receipt of a letter from Dr. II. C. Yarrow, United States army, con taining some notes on the oyster trade in this locality in 1864. Dr. Yarrow says: "At the time I was in Beaufort the oyster was not cultivated, and all I can tell ou is, that the best ones were found about 25 or 30 miles west of Fort Macon, in Bogue Sound. These oys ters, which were famous, brought 40 cents a bushel ; ordinary ones only 25 cents. Good oysters were also got up the JNortn river ano in a river running, a little north of Harkness Island.which is near Cape Lookout." More facts are to be ascertained at Newbern, where more business is now done. Newbern gets its oysters from various points in Pamlico Sound. The marshes of the lower part of the Neuse are full of them, but little or no use is made of this seed'. Bay river, on the mainland, gives a good thin-shelled and white oyster, with a deep "cup" and fine flavor, but the freshets in the Neuse are likely to ruin these beds. Smith's creek is also a very good locality, and oysters of very fine flavor are caught opposite Fort Smith, but contain a great many crabs. Good sample oysters, capable of be ing made very fine by planting, arere ported to abound in the vicinity of the Royal Shoal rocks. Other good locali ties are point of Marsh and Broad creek. The objection to all Core Sound oysters is that though of fine shape and good flavor, they do not seem to thrive under transplanting. However, this may be a libel upon them, since none but the crudest experiments have been made in cultivation. There is no reas on to doubt that it would Succeed grandly, and with comparatively small trouble, fori have seldom seen shells come up so completely overgrown with Infant- oysters, : as those which are brought to Newbern. There is little hope that the fishermen themselves, who now live along the shore and - who work upon the beds, will ever become cultivators to any ex tent Whether outside capital will ever find it Drofitable to undertake ovster planting In these apparently ighiy .favorable .-waters depends upon a dozen 0utsi4er considerations ; of ro arket, means of transportation, possibilities of procuring labor, which it would be utile to -discuss, because thev are con stantly changing,,1 Jtt. appears that air the oy stew with occasional exceptions sent to market from this district, are taken from the natural beds without any Immediate process of 'transplant ing, or-fresh water fattening- ' ' The men who supply the oysters are artly fishermen, few of them 'expect n to derive as much as half of their support from this occupation. - In all, ij Suppose lucre are irom sou to 400 men tonging more or less in Pamlico Sound, but it is oat of the question to arrive at any definite average of what each one earns.: r.Thtf main cash receipts go to the hundred, tor .more chief oyster-' men. The boats are ithesame? ones used in the general, fisheries, and: will ave rage $200 to $300 in, value. They be long chiefly to Gore Sound and in all there are perhaps 50 or 60 of them. In spite of this array of natural resources, men and boats, only about 25,000 bush els were landed at Newbern, and about 5,000 more bushels at Beaufort, during the winter of l879-'80. It is said that about half as -much more (say 15,000, bushels) were bought by peddlars along-' snore, who carted them back into the country and sold them from their wag ons. The total production of this dis trict, therefore, is about 45,000 bushels, which Tvould be increased to, 50,000 bushels if we counted the immediate consumption on the shore. "Not only ought there to have been raised from the water a very much larger amount than this, when we con sider the great area of the beds and the number of men employed, but a vastly larger amount would have found an immediate market in Newberne. There are two or three persons there who reg ularly ship in the shell as many good oysters as they can procure. Besides this there has recently been opened a shipping'house which would be glad to consume 1,000 bushels a day during all the cooler half of the year, if they could only obtain the stock. But unfortu nately the general laziness and improvi dence of the oyster men are so great that its impossible to make a contract and expect to fill it. Not only has it proved extremely difficult to obtain oysters in sufficient quantity, and at the time they were needed, to make the running of this new packinghouse ps fitable, but when by good luck a stock was on hand, there was incessant dan ger that the men hired as shuckers might suddenly desert their employer without a single compunction a3 to their duty or responsibility under the circumstances. When it is cold, or the weather is at all rough, not one of these young Carolina oyster men can be per suaded or driven to go to work, not withstanding that the beds are near shore and well sheltered and in spite of his manifest poverty, the fact that some discomfort will attend his raking is reason enough for him why he should stay home and sit over his miserable fire. Yet it is in cold and stormy weather that the buyers are most anx ious to get oysters, and will pay a higher price, because there is not only a greater demand produced by the general scar city, but the frosty air sharpens the ap petite of their customers. The question of labor in opening pre sented an obstacle to success of the same nature. These men are paid by the gallon, and it was found that no re liance could be placed on a large num ber of them. Both white men and col ored were employed, but the latter have proved the better of the two, and have nearly superseded white help. Many men would come to the house,' beg to be taught the art of opening oysters, which was new to most of them, and be set at most For the first few days the novel ty would keep them pretty steadily em ployed, then suddenly, whe'h their as sistance was most needed to fill an order, they would knock off. After that their promises proved worth nothing, and no . reliance whatever could be placed upon their staying longer than was necessary to earn the 15 or 20 cents which would buy them a little corn meal and tobacco to keep themselves and families from starvation for a-cou-ple of days. So impossible have the the proprietors found it to improve these lazy unbusiness like habits of the people, upon whom they must rely for their stock and their labor, that New berne is likely to loose the benefit of an industry which, in a different commu nity, would distribute much needed money among hundreds of families of the poorer classes. Some oysters bring a3 high a3 50 and seventy-five cents a bushel in New bern and Beaufort, but the average price during this last winter was not above 35 cents, if quite as high as that. At this rate the 50.000 bushels credited to the district was worth seventeen thousand five hundred dollars. I must not omit to mention a custom which prevails in Pamilico Sound in summer, and which has been described to me by Mr. Earll. It seems that when the weather becomes to warm for the fisherman to safely carry their catch to market, and there is no other employ ment for their boats, they catch up boat loads of rough "coon oysters" and carry them to the farmers up the river to be sold as maure. They receive from three to fiye cents a bushel for this strange, but doubtless highly nu tritious fertilizer, but what is the to tal amount thus gathered and spread on the land each season I am unable to tell. South of Newberne and Beaufort oys ters grow in nearly all the inlets, but there is no regular production until New River is reached, about half way between Beaufort and Wilmington. The main location of the raking here is right opposite Snell's Ferry, begin two miles from the bar and extending for three miles. The water here ir only brackish, and of a uniform depth of 9 feet. The crooked channel is full of oysterjrocks. The oysters are of large siieriairly regular shape, and for the most part singly. They posess a most pleasing flavor, but now and then storms drive the salt water up the river, their excel lence departs and the oysters take on a greenish appearance, locally called "green-gill." When in this condition they are not considered fit to be eaten, but the disaffection soon wears off. The oystering in New river is done in skiffs, of which from fifteen to twenty are continually busy for four or five months in the Spring. As there are two men in a skiff or canoe from thirty to forty f amlies get a living from the tonging. The law permits every man owning a water front to inclose a large space of the adjoining bottam, if he wishes to plant oysters. About a dozen have taken such plots and raise plant ed oysters, but the total crop this year will probably not exceed 250O0 bushels, and this stock was inferior to the natu ral growth. All these oysters, wild and planted, are sold to carters, who buy them ai $1 a bushel, or from 60 to SO cents a gallon, for a large part of -the whole product is opened there to pre vent the carriage of the extra weight of shells. The wagoners carry them to interior towns and peddle them at vari ous prices. It is thus that Wilmington is supplied, and the retajl price there is $2 a bushel. Wilmington also receives oysters in small quantities from Myrtle Grove Sound, where some experiments in planting have just begun, about two miles northeast of Fort Fisher. These are small but fat and very choice speci mens. Another good oyster comes from Winbury or Topsail Sound. It is difficult to come at it, but I judge that from fifty to sixty thousand bush els is an estimate of all that the pro duction of the New River and Wilming ton region would require annually. Out of the perhaps SO men who busy them selves regularly in this industry as tongers, openers, carters or shippers, there are. none who are not also largely engaged in other sources of daily bread, it is believed by those best informed upon the subject, that the State Taw which prohibits dredging iwithin the btate is an injury ratherthan a blessing it eT?vster beds. They areirobably rl? n Under proper restrictions, which 8 hall save the privilege from abuse something hardly to be apprehended in tms case, owing to the geographical conditions-dredging would aid both in- the extension of thif oyster bearing areas and in the better; production of good single oysters on the sounds, where they now grow, but in a coarse, bunchy way. The permissiori of dredg ing might bring some evil,: as in the VuesapeKe,Duc tne oenentS; rouowing to North Carolina would probably over balance any-fcarm'." - "V " Reviewing, this-furnishes -estimated totals as follows, for the whole State: Number of planters and tongers, 1,000.
