U nlJUs BED OF OYSTER SHELLS
On the Housatonic is an Inexhaustible
Deposit of Seeding Shells

On the Housatonic is an Inexhaustible
Deposit of Seeding Shells.
On a bank of the Housatonic river.
opposite the old-fashioned town of
Stratford, Conn.,, is pile of ancient
oyster shells that seems to be practi-
cally inexhaustible. For fifteen years
professional shell gatherers have been
digging away at the pile, but there APP
pears to be no appreciative reduction
of the supply of discarded shells.
Thousands of boatloads of shells have
been removed from the deposit, but the
pile looks to the casual observer as large
as it ever was.
These antique shells are used for
seeding" That is, they are taken away
in the spring and spread over oyster
beds. Oysters deposit their spawn on
these shells, sometimes enough for forty
oysters in one shell. How the bed OF
ancient oyster shells came to occupy the
curious position it has held for count
less centuries nobody can explain.
