Oysters That

J. W. Collins Of the United states

statement that oysters really do grow
on trees. This does not mean that they
are 10 be found in the forests. but
scientific investigation has confirmed
the statement that nature does some
times produce the bivalve in this novel
manner.
From time 10 time reports regarding
the peculiar growths of oysters have
been made but all have been a matter
of conjecture. Now. however, we know
the truth-that oysters Will grow on
trees when the trees and the oysters
are brought into iuXtapostion in prop
er fashion
In order that this should take place
the tree must be transplanted SO that
II is apparently growing out OF the WI
Ter The trees are placed in the water

that grow ON them are commonly taken
off and marketed the following winter.
or at least before the second winter.
The trees are generally put down in
comparatively shallow water. about
two and a half fathoms at low tide. If
the young oysters We're allowed TO re
main on them for two years they
would fall off 10y their own weight.
The oysters are exposed to extra risk
Of being winter killed during cold
weather. because Of being so near the
surface Strange as II may seem. this
mishap seldom occurs The oysters are
/ generally large enough to market in

star fish. which, IL Is believed. destroy
more oysters than all other agencies

So great is the damage inflicted by
the star-tish that many steamers are

| in an effort To drive these creatures
from the oyster beds. one firm took
from its bed in single year $500, 0oo

Large areas had been prepared Tor

tors had 50 much good ground that
they could not attend u II properly,
and through neglect il became Il fa-
