for il Is one Of the centres of the trade.
That scallOps are 50 profitable that sensons
work at taking them is capable Of yielding
years income Is due to the fact that no part OF
them is wholly wasted. The eyes, which are the
only part edible, are, after shucking, put into

ready sale. The shells are used In great
variety Of ways. They have a lining OF iri-

they are also used in skimming milk, for garden
hor,lrrs and In the making Of souvenirs. SO
great Is the demand for scnllOp shells for the

barrels have been given.
Scallops are found all along the coast from

brings in n larger profit for the capital invested
than my other venture and possesses possibili-
ties for future development. Formerly the seal
lops were found In large quantities all along
the coast, but within the last few years owing
to careless treatment and the contamination
of the waters, beds have been dying out so

been directed to the industry In order that they
may devise measures for increasing the supply
New beds have been laid out In places.
