FARMING Under the Sea,

The fact IS not generally known that
within three hours ride Of Boston a large
and profitable business has been carried
on since 1913 along the seashore, and is
nothing more or less than farming
under the sea. Everywhere upon the
coasts of eastern New England may be
found, ten feet below the water mark,
the lichen known as carrageen-the
" Irish moss of commerce. 1t may be
torn from the sunken rocks anywhere,
and yet the little seaport of Scituate is
almost the only place where it is gather
ed and cured This village is the great
center Of the moss business of the conn
try, and the entire Union draws its sup
plies from these beaches.
Long rakes are used in tilling this ma
rine farm, and it does not take long TO
fill the many dories that await the Itch
en-, torn from its salty, rocky bed. The
husbands and fathers gather the moss
from the sea, and the wives and daugh-
ters prepare it for the market. Soak it
III water and it Will melt away to q Jelly.
Boil 1t milk, and delicious white and
creamy blanc mango is the result. The
annual product is from ten to fifteen
thousand barrels, and it brings $50, 900
INTO the town, which sum is shared by
$50 families. Its consumption in the
manufacture of lager beer is very large.
and the entire beerEof the country draws
its supplies from Scituatc beaches, as the
importation from Ireland has almost
ceased. 1t is not generally known that
the moss, as an article of commerce. is
called "sea moss farina.
