Benefit

From a reliable source it is stated
that the first step toward the propaga-
ton of the clam on large scale through
scientific methods was taken at the
United States biological station at Fair
port, Iowa, when two hundred fish, each
carrying about one thousand embryo
CLAIMS, were turned out into the Mississ-
ippi river. The fish were previously
kept in the tanks which have been built
at the clam hatchery. and were there
infected with the embryo mussels, or
clochidia, as it is known in the scienti-
fic world. This is the first time since
the station was established that any in
fected fish have been turned into river,
and the result of the experiment will
be awaited with interest by all those in
terested in the future of the button
business, and by all who have been
watching the experimental work.
A study of the mussel has revealed
the fact that the clam has a parasitic
growth, in that the clochidia attaches
itself to fish, and after remaining up
on the fish for about ten days, drops
off and begins life for itself. If the
present experiments of the biological
station prove successful, other propa-
eating stations will be established along
the river, insuring the future success of
the Pearl and button business.
