Much unjust criticism of this process has been heard from time to time owing to lack of exact knowledge of what happens to an oyster when It te brought Into fresh water. Why is It, for instance, that salt oysters from Green port or Montauk I*olnt, Long Island, keep fairly well in transit and storage, white Maurice River Gove salts will loss their shell liquor In many cases before they have been shipped off the wharf? The necessity for floating shell stock from Maurice River Is recognised not only by the State Government bnt by Federal official* as well. It la important, however, that this process be not carried to wttbos and the quality of the oysters thereby l.qpalrod.

The Manrice River Cove oyster is flame i along with the best of he New England oystera as e. superior oyster of high solid content. There is no ranson why the oyster fiom the Core should not stand up with the best in the trade If only it is handled in the right way. Shucked oystera to bs clean must be blown: the maar of air bubbles rising through tha oysters and water loosens the slime and bite of shel’ from the orders and makes then very clean. Blowing sr prolonged washing should be practised only with salt oysters -rod not with floated ones. If the shucking houses now operating on the Maurice River desire to build up a lasting and loyal trade they must use salt oysters. Only ic this way can they hare a standard product which will be ie same day after day. One mu«t remember that the aaltr.ese of oysters removed from the floete varies from day to day depending upon the temperature, whether neep or spring tides, direction and force of wind and other factors.
