Pearl fishing has begun in this
county. Parties in Jackson and
elsewhere have been finding pearls
out on Whitewater. Some of the
specimens found appear to have
considerable value. We have not
done much pearl fishing ourself
but can give the fishermen a point
or two, nevertheless. In eXamln'
ing the mussel she'll for the gem,
do not always expect to find ii
loose in the shell, for it is some.
times concealed in the flesh of the
mussel. Another suggestions: DO
not throw the live mussels away
When rolled in meal and fried they
are as tender, juicy and delicious
as an oyster. Try one.
