Show i oo TROUT COMPANY IS TO CEASE BUSINESS PROVO. Sopt 11. Tho South Fork Trout company with practically 250,000 fish ranging from spawners weighing from one to five pounds to the little flngerlings not yet ready to turn loose in either pond or stream, will close Its big hatchery in the South Fork of Provo canyon as soon as possible and will sell its entire output of flsh Jus: as quickly as possible. The board has decided that the company com-pany could not run during the war. The abnormal rise in tho price of foodstuffs for tho fish would in time have ruined the company, ll is said, and the law passed by the last state legislature which virtually shut it off from seining in Utah lake for common flsh for food had its effect As the state is considered the most logical purchaser of hte stock of fish, tho matter will be taken up with the governor and tho fish and game department |
