BUT NOT. FROM ANGLER’S
HAGERSTOWN, Md.—Rainbow,
brook and .brown trout,, some of the
. most elusive. quarry known to the
angler, eat out of the hands of Miss
Mary Cushwa.
She is caretaker of the trout
ponds near Clear Springs, maintained
by the State conservation department.
By the. hundreds they follow her
as she walks on the edge of tr.e
ponds. The older ones, which
wouldn’t sniff at a bait-hidden hook,
, actualy let her lift them up out of
the water...
The trout:—13,000 of them—-got
that way from Miss SCushwa’s habit
* of feeding them. She tosses mix
