A local Item la the columns of the Journal tells of a remarkable quart of oysters which took only sixteen oysters to fill the measure, that was shucked from a lot of oysters brought to the New Bern market. The most Important. thing In connec tion with these oysters was not merely their Immense sis, but the fact that their quality was first class, and that these oysters were a sea produot gather d from ilocal cultivation In a nearby sound of this 8tate, proves that there Is a great possible future for the North Carolina oyster, provided intelligent and discriminating laws are made to protect this great industry. Outside of the dealers, what Is known of the North Carolina oyster, today f Really nothing, for while many thous ands of bushels are gathered from North Carollaa.waters,'.these oysters ex, cept thejfew consumed at home, lose all their identity and are given a label and brand to'meet the consumptive demand of people who live at interior points and who rely upon the brand upon the can rather than a knowledge of what the oyster may te which comes In the can. The uncultivated North Carolina ojs ter has for years. served under various aliases, every name except that of being known and recognized aa a product from sounds of this State. In this way, no credit, has cometo theoyster from North Carolina, for one taken from Its native bed the oyster.wat made.to serve and be a credit to some foreign water.' This. seaacVthe .North Carolina oys ter has beenf.fl ae 1 8'z9 nd quality, But it Is not enough that this State shall be satisfied to let Its waters be rifled of this splendid native product, to enrich outsiders. This ever Increasing yearly gathering', will come to an end. and there will be no oyaters to gather. Oyster cultivation is not only one so lution of the North .Carolina oyster question, to eontlnne this sea product as a source of revenue to the people of this Eastern Carolina Sound country, but it means a future for tbe North Car olina oyster industry which will never come without this cultivation, and it oyster gathering is to be left to the pres ent methods of gathering. State aid, legislature and material Is demanded, not methods which call for political Inspectors, as the means for developing this oyster Industry and giv ing It aHrue position commercially, and placing it among the established indus tries of North Carolina. There is a great possible future for the North Caro Una oyster If wise and Intelligent meth ods are pursued In Its cultivation.
