Thousands'of baby salmon when they start life's cruise in future'will carry identification tags for the benefit of science. At a recent conference of Canadian and United States fishing experts held at Seattle it was decided to attach small metal discs to the tails of tho salmon. British Columbia-, Alaska, -Washington, California-, and Oregon hatcheries will each place tags on ten or fifteen thousand little fishes before their release to seek their fortune in the ocean. • The ■ object is to ascertain where thev go and-, in this way determine the direction or "run" of the salmon. The experiment has already been tried- successfully j.n .Alaska, and some of the salmon with identification ta-srs were found in the runs along the British Columbia- coast, and one was caught among the fish going up a. river in Siberia.
