It has been shown at g-overnment fish cultural stations and else- where that a few adult carp placed in waters overstocked with bass do not increase in number, their young being wholly con- sumed each season. It is well to introduce only a limited number of carp, since too many of them, owing to their rooting habits, will not only destroy the water plants, but also make the water too roily. It has been found that the introduction of carp for feeding fishes, is also favorable in ponds containing crappie, the slight roiling of the water, which they cause, being beneficial to the latter rather than otherwise. It should not however be intro- duced into overstocked bass waters as a food supply until yellow perch or other species have been tried. All ponds, whether natural or artificial, containing food-fishes should be stocked with brook-minnows, shiners, chubs, fresh- water killifish and other small species to constitute a food supply. The killifish and other small species, it may be noticed in passing,.
