Carp Battened in Lake at Clear Lake Iowa
In Clear Lake Iowa on July 6 a large carp population is being fattened in the upper lake with a net across the channel. Seiners hauled five tons from a main school and plan further operations as weather and New York market prices permit. About fifty tons are in the upper lake, with carp trying to breach or go under the net, some burrowing beneath it. Boats ferried crowds for a Fourth of July sight, and a board fence was built to block the outlet to prevent escape. Corn feeds the carp at about ten bushels daily.
