England. France, Holland ana Germany,

mussels for centuries. So DR.. Field at
tackled the root OF the American fear. in
order to dislodge 1t, and his investiga-
lions revealed the fact. as might have
been expected. that where mussels had
been the means Of poisoning or any ILL
ness It was a repetition OF the state Of
affairs which has occasioned typhoid
fever epidemica from oysters. The mus
sells had come from contaminated water:
or they had been eaten after they had
been too long out of water. The great
requisites for safety in using mussels
are that they shall come from beds un-
touched by sewage and that they be
eaten fresh-not more than twenty-four
hours old.
There are such acres and acres Of mus
sci beds all the way from Massachusetts

sells is part Of a large scheme Of things
proposed by the United States bureau Of
f1sher1es-namely. series OF investiga-
tons and experiments to establish Just
recognition for several now unutilized sea
products. The vast land area Of this
continent has absorbed our attention to
such extent that the resources Of the seas
surrounding US have gone undeveloped to
an astonishing degree. In the older
countries many marine products are

touched. In Japan, with it's restricted
Land territory, water farming is almost
as much of an industry as is agriculture
There are men In America who predict
that with the increasing population the
land resources will cease to furnish An
adequate supply Of food. It IL certain
that We can with profit draw upon the
waters more extensively.
Thus DR.. Field, setting about his task
Tor the government, at once turned to
sea mussels as q most promising subject
upon which to proceed. But he found
himself encountered by prejudice and in
dlfrerence. OF all things the most diff
cult to overcome. There Is a story that
long ago a whole Indian village was
poisoned by eating sea mussels Here
and there other traditions are added to
this concerning the ill-effects of eating
these shellflsh. and, nobody. knowing the
truth OF the matter. everybody concluded
