M. Webb, State Oyster Commissioner of the con v'ention; on pee. 28th, 1910 held at Eliza beth City, the following paper was sent by him, and read before the convention by CoL Ef. f. Lamb. ',, Mr. Chairman and ' Gentlemen of the Conventionr . - VA comparative statement of the catch of oysters In this State for the past? years U as follows: v Season 1901 02 593,516- bushels, " 1902-'03 658.769 " 'f '1903- '04 ' 505,141 " " 1904 '05 531,854 " 1905-'06 35i,429 ' " " 19O6-'07 349,979 " " 1907- 210,832 " . " 1908 -'09 -183,100 " 1909-'10 140,654 " You will observe that there has been a, steady decrease in. the catch since the season of 1904-'O5. I believe that, the following reasons are largely re sponsible for this decrease. First; the open Reason has been gradually cut down from eight months in 1902 to four and one-half months in 1907. This fact alone probably had a greater effect on the industry from a financial standpoint than any other one thing. The eight months open season in 1902 began Sep tember 1st. and ran Jntil May 1st. We had at that tim canning factories at Washington, Swan Quarter, Beaufort, Marshatlberg and Elizabeth City. Ther was a great demand for oysters all dU' ring this period, the canneries using the bulk of the stock, especially durine the warm months of September, Oeto ber, March and April, Daring these months the raw houses coul i only han dle a limited amount of the catch, con sequently the canners fixed the price. It was ihought that by restricting the open season to the cold months of No vember, December, January, and Feb ruary that theoystermen would have the same markets they then had, with the advantaga-ef competition among the buyers, thereby realizing as much for their catch during the four and one- half months open seison a4 they had formerly received duriag the 8 months season. Their expectations did not ma terialize for two or three reasons. Some of the canners found that oysters could be had in states south of us at a cheap er price, and in one or two counties in our own State not under the jurisdia tion of the OysterCommissioner, 'as they: moved their factorTte to jthese points. Then again. We experienced the loss of some of the largest raw houses in the S;ate, which, was largefyVri ac count of thefact that packers in Vir ginia "and Maryland-and other' states north of us, could get an average of 25 cents per gaUWtnore for their oysters than the packer here could get or the same grade of 'oyster.; This condition has been brought about because "there has been no effort on the part of pack tion for oot Oysters, it was an expen sive froposition, and, they chose to go to distant point for tbeir . trade. The conaeqaenca has,beeii thAt the bnlk of the oysters, biher : than what ii known aa ;"coon oystersj ' are" shirped toChida go Kansas City, Omaha, St, Louis and other tonin the West and North wesf. Anyone conversant with the conditions in this State knows that the bulk of the raw stock sold at; interior points in the State are bought! fit .Norfolk n QthAr Virginia points, and that while we have Just ae good oysters, as' are "produced anywhere, that they are discriminated against as to price and express rates when brought into competition with the Virginia oyster. JLast, Jut: net least, has been the ''poruted pysUr'icare, which haa 'affected .the oyater trade throughout the 'whale country for the past three year-,-The Virginia- Oyster Commission in their 1908-09 report say: fjFr two yearn new eondltiont In ihe oyster region have been the most, un satisfactory in many years, the past year being the worst of the two This was not due to any scarcity of oysters in Virginia.' We have had a greater abundance than for years past There has been little demand and "no mar ket"' The causes for this" may not be def.nitly given, hut , they are in geneal what made either businesses stagnant, though they may be largely ascribed to the exorbitant rise in, exprens rate, legislation Hecured by "patent carrl era," and the lasting effects of the pol luted oyster scare. .
