Gur Oyster Beds

It is pleasing | at yster experts who were here last summer rep rt very favorably in respect to th er beds of Prince Edward Island Res] ting Richmond Bay, Mr. Ernest Kemp says that it is ‘* nothing shert of a goid mine. The grounds, he says, appear to be very prolific. Some of the beds are very large,

consisting of many acres. The stock upon

them compares fav rably with that found

upon cultivated grounda. The resources appear to be enormous. Oysters and their brood are plentiful, healthy, growing rap- idiy, and of very good quality. Us every part inspected, where suil is to be found, there are oysters and oyster brood.

The beds at the Narrows and Bideford were found to be ian the same flourishing condition. The oysters here are smaller in size and round in shape, with

Prospects in gay do not seom to be so good, as the greater portion of the bottom consists of soft mud and long eel

Off Oyster Point the bottom is firm

grass. but the grass is thick. Apart fiomthis there seems to be only ome av silable place

in Bedeque Bay for the culture of oysters. It is situated off the North Shore, towards Wilmot Creek. The brood brought up there were of “‘a very fine quality and ia « healthy condition, growlog very fast.” This place would be the most suitable part of the Bay for re-stocking, after it has been properly cleaned.

In Long Creek there was found “an abundance of oyster brood in healthy condi- tion and growing very fast. The oyster be a extends nearly half a mile in length, and a lare> ouantity of brood was found upon the Oysters and On

oysters and

point at every half tide brood we.e also found in Clyde River. the shore of the East River, at Red Point, and other points, the oyster brood is of a very fine shape and form, and very plenti- ful. Mr. Komp adds that “individuals who have leased oyster grounds would do well to re-stock their beds by picking thei:

troyed by over-fishing, by burying the the breeding oysters, by covering up the protections suitable for tha reception of spat, and by breaking down, through the action of heavy dredges, the ridges which sre specially fitted to receive the future Sp sts.

The oyster interest is one of the most valuable in this Province, and the opinions

ot such an expert in oyster culture as Mr. Kemp ought to receive careful consider-

ation.

Which Has Precedence?

We apologizs to Mr. Justice Hensley for having stated that he ‘‘ avoided the point ” as to whether or nota mortgage»given ly he owner will take precedence of a lien. On referring to his written judgment, we note that the learned Judge referred par- e 7 ticularly to the fact that the Mechanics Lien Act enacts that “If the land upon or in respect of which the work is done, or materials or machinery placed, is encumbered by mortgage judgment or other charge, existing or created before the commencement of the work or the placing of the materials or machinery upon the land, such mortgage jadgment or other charge shall have priority over the lien, and the provisions in this Act contained shall not affect such mortgage judgment or other charge or the rights aud remedies of any party owning or having such mortgage judgment or other charge.” Judge Hensley argued that ‘* the excep- tion proves the rule ;—that as mortgages, etc., effected before the commencement of the work are particularly declared to have priority,” it foliows that * the saving clause only saves from the effect of the enact- ments, mortgages, judgments, or other charges created befure the commencement of the ‘york or placing of materials, etc., on the land,” and that ‘‘the cases of mort- gages, judgments, or other charges created after the commencement, are, therefore, to be held as subordinated to the general pro- visions of the statute, and controlled by by them.” As THe Examiner stated yesterday, the point has not yet specifically come before our Supreme Court for decision, But the

in length, under penalty of a fine for each offence. Ths rule would apply only to localities where the above size vould be defined, as sizes vary according to different waters, but the above rule would apply to all places visited by me and mentioned in this report.

3. No fishing for oysters to be allowed on

Sunday, por at any time during the close season.

4. The number of each fishing boat to

correspond with the license held by them.

With the assistance of the above rules, a

record of boats and men could be kept, show- iog the number of people engaged in this industry, and whether it prospered or not.

Mr. Kemp informs us that ‘ oyster-beds can never be cultivated where the mud-dig- ger is allowed to work, and considering how these grounds have suffered by being more contracted each year, it would be ad- visable to prohibit mussel digging alto- gether.”

“Oysters,” he continues, ** cannot thrive where the ground is composed of moving sand, or where mud is deposited; conse- quently, since the sizs and number of these places are becoming very limited, only a very small percentage of the young oysters can find a resting place, and the remainder perish. By putting down suitable cultch, immense quantities of the wandering spat (or fry) may settle on it, and thus b>? sav- ed. As a rule, the natural beds occupy most of the suitable space in their own vicinity. Unoccupied ground may, how- ever, be prepared for the reception of new beds, by spreading sand, gravel or shells over muddy bottoms, or beds may be kept up in locations tor permanent, natural beds, by putting down oysters and cultch, just before the time of breeding, thus giving the spat a chance to fix themselves before the currents and enemies have had time to des- troy them. The simplest form of oyster calture isthe preservation of the natural oyster beds. Upon this, in fact, depends the whole future of the industry, since it is net probable that any system of artificial breeding can be devised on these shores, on
