Show 'SALINOMETER EOS BEAR LAKE ITER For the purpose of registering salt density and temperatures at different differ-ent periods in Bear River bay a salin-ometer salin-ometer was yesterday received by R H. Siddoway, state fish and game commissioner, from tho federal fish-cries fish-cries department at Washington. The device will be immediately Installed and moved from lime to time to determine deter-mine average conditions. During his recent visit to the Pacific Paci-fic coast Mr Siddoway observed results re-sults of experiments in oyster culture cul-ture in San Francisco bay. He says that ho believes Bear River bny offers more favorable conditions to the oyster. The chief difficulty encountered at San Francisco bay is thaC atmospheric atmos-pheric temperature is not sufficiently high In July, when the seed oyster floats on on tho surface of the water and "partly develops in the rays of the sun before dropping to the bottom and attaching itself to the rock for further growth. In Bear River bay, Mr. Siddoway says, the July atmospheric temper-aturo temper-aturo Is Ideal for oyster culture and he feels confident that by exercise of proper care In preliminary selection of locations he will be able to achieve success in oyster culture in Utah. Only eastern varieties 'of the oyster Avill be planted here, Mr. Siddoway says, because be-cause the California variety is too small and unprofitable to justify attempt at-tempt to raise it here. |
