  Improved appliances and boats for catching fish and better facilities for
de-
11vering the catch to market have stimulated the fisheries of the out'ying
waters
and increased the necessity and demand for stock from the State Fish Hatcheries
for thcse waters. The work of the Commission in stocking Wisconsin waters
in
hake Michigan, Lake Superior and Green Pay with lake trout and white fish
is
heartily indorsed by the fishermen dependent on those waters.
  The call for stock for the inland lakes and streams is far beyond the means
of the Commission to supply. But the popularity of the work and its good
re-
s-ilts are fully attested by the urgent and greatly increased number of applica-
Lions for fish from all classes throughout the state.
  Persons desiring fish for stocking public waters will receive all requisite
in-
formation as to conditions and methods of obtaining them by applying to the
Superintendent of Fisheries, Madison, Wis.
