I Trucks have not been avallabk for fish planting this season, and las a result the Mammoth Hatchery ponds are filled with thousands ol fish ranging In size from small fry to fish 14 Inches in length. Feeding and caring for these fish has be-come be-come a costly and dlfftcut problem The local organization will provide pro-vide trucks and help in removing the fish from the ponds and planting plant-ing )hem in streams and lakes designated. Officials of the Federation report re-port that the transportation situation situ-ation in the country, causing a widespread wide-spread "vacation at home" move, ment, Is also having its effect on local fishing. Because they cannot take other trips, more and more people are turning to fishing ai a diversion with the result that the streams are lined with fishermen.
