rection of abuses which the investiga-
tions of the Bureau of Fisheries have
shown to exist.
| "The fresh water mussel fishery, in
which the state of Arkansas partici-
pates, yields a product whose value
to the fisherman is 100000 per an
| mum, and it furnishes the raw mater
| ial for a button making industry, the
, value of whose annual output is
estimated at $9,000000. The shells
produced in Arkansas are of unsur-
passed quality, but in no state is
there such waste of potentially valu-
able mussels through the taking Of
those too small for economic use.
That the resources of the streams are
being depleted is evidenced by the
fact that in the White, Black and St.
Francis rivers, which have been fish
ed for ~ or Is years, the catch per
man per day is but one-sixth of the
yield when the streams were first eX-
plotted and the men are earning less
now when shells are valued at from
SIS to $23 per ton, than when they
were worth but 81"
Secretary Redfield adds that the
Bureau has prepared a pamphlet on
the protection of fresh-Water mussel3
which embodies practical recommend
ations concerning legislation, and
these will be sent oeaCh member OF
