Friendship Man Is Raising Mackerel
Roscoe Simmons, caretaker at Willard and Daggett's lobster pound in Friendship, experiments with artificial mackerel culture. He released six inch pikes into Portland firm’s pound, feeds them with clams, expects them to reach winter size, and reports dramatic feeding frays as hundreds of fish converge on clams while gulls repeatedly steal luncheon. He even fired a gun to scare the birds, but they remained undeterred.
