Pit' it. I The Mason for taking oysters from bottoms along the North Carolina coast opened October 1. It closes next March 1. ' Officials of the State Department of Conservation . and Development's commercial fisheries division at More head City expect around 400 of the more than 2,200 boats licensed to do commercial fishing in North Carolina water will be engaged during the com ing season m dredging for oysters. Last season's catch of oysters was below normal, according to a report given C&D Director Ben E. Douglas by Gehrman Holland, assistant State fisheries commissioner, who blamed rough weather to a large extent for the curtailed output of the bivalves. Hurricane Barbara, which caused considerable property loss last year when it struck along the coastal area, did heavy damage to oyster bottoms in the Carteret-Pamlico-Hyde and oth er oyster-producing areas. Hurricanes this year are also believed to have caused some damage, but officials are unable to say how extensive until the completion of survey now in prog ress. " ' , Oyster production during the 1952 54 biennium in North Carolina was put at 835,693 five-peck bushels by Holland in a report , . i .,:, . Value" of the oyster cr.t::i to cy -men was put at $838,903. The j ilj ores do not include oysters taken from privately owned bottoms. It is esti mated production of oysters from pri vate beds will qeach about 25,000 bush els a season. .;;-'. v -,;-... North Carolina oysters are noted for their excellent flavor, according to veteran oystermen. . Last year they brought from $2 to $3.25 for a five- peck bushel. - They . were generally considered of excellent quality, Hoi land said. North Carolina oysters have a high sanitary rating as a, re sult of close inspection work by the C&D Department in cooperation with the shellfish sanitation office of the State Board of Health and also with airencies of the federal government, Under the State oyster cull law, oys ters taken from North Carolina bot toms must be culled where caught and if they are less than three inches at their longest diameter they must be returned to waters from which' they are taken.

The roots must not be allowed to dry out while, the shrubs are waiting to be transplanted It is not uncommon to see a per son drive out into the country, dig up dogwood trees in the woods, tie them to the . running board of the car with no protection for the roots, drive back home again, and, with the roots thor oughly dried out, transplant them in the yard. Such a plant has very little chance td live. . ' . " - Evergreens are usually transplanted with a ball of earth around their roots held in place by a piece of burlap. It is not necessary to remove the burlap the topsoil from the subsoil and fill in around the roots with topsoil. Do not put, fertilizer or manure in the hole in contact with the roots. Pack the soil around the roots so that no air pockets are left. ' Most trees and shrubs are planted slightly deeper than they were before about an inch or two. Azaleas and camellias must not be planted any deeper than they were originally they have shallow root systems.. , i . , Thorough watering is advisable. However, if the soil is not dry, water ing is not essential for fall or early winter planting of deciduous shrubs and fruit trees. IjjlwJ-6 .J' Caa a.aj a' It NOTIii!
