Pearls in Florida

Pearls are the oldest known of
lustrous gems. The Bible speaks
of "the pearl of great price. !"
Hunting pearls has long been an
important industry, says W. A.
McRae, commissioner of agricul-
ture. There are two varieties,
those found in oysters, and in
fresh water clans. Of the latter
there are some 600 different spe-
cies in the United States. Most
of these are found in the Missis-
sippi river and tributaries, and in
the rivers from the North flowing
into the Gulf of Mexico. Pearls
were known to the Mound Build
ers, and to the early Indians. 1t
is said that when DeSoto landed
at Tampa bay he found the In
dams of Florida using pearls as
ornaments. 1t is also said that
he explored various mounds and
found stores of many fine pearls.
Father Hennepin found the In
dams along the Mississippi wear
ing strings of pearls. "Pearl
fevers" have taken place in many
sections by reason of some one
finding valuable pearls. Single
pearls have sold as high as $1,000.
There are strings to be had in the
large jewelry stores at a cost as
high as $4,000. They exist in
all colors of the rainbow, but the
whites" bring the highest pric-
es. There are pearls in the rivers
of Florida. They are most a
bundant in districts where there
is plenty of limestone. Florida is
|underlaid with limestone. There
are pearls in the oysters in the
bays of the Florida gulf coast.
There may be a ''pearl fever" in
Florida some day.-Times- Union.

Cats, Birds and Insects

Cats in the United States de-
stroy about 31,250,00O birds per
annum, it is calculated by pains
taking scientist of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture; some birds destroy $4,000
to $4,000 insects a year. Taking
the lowest figure as an average of
the whole bird creation, it is evil
dent that about / IL million mil
lions Il IL trillions), of insects
owe their ability to enjoy the ban.
quet the patient farmer spreads
out for them to destroy the food
of the nation, to increase and
multiply, through the destruction
of their enemies, the birds, by the
cats. The slaughter by sports
men and wanton boys also adds
greatly to the total loss of birt
life and the preservation of tn,
lives of some millions of the in
sect pests of garden, field and or
chard, which threaten some day
to starve the world, entomologist

American Meat Restrictions Re.
Taxed to Effect Greater
Wheat Savings.
ARGENTINE ARRIVALS SHORT.
Meat Supply Here Considerably En-
iarped - Food Administration,
However, Warns Against
Waste.

The allies have made further and
increased demands for breadstufrs,
these enlarged demands being caused
to some degree by shortage In arrivals
from the Argentine. 1t Is, therefore,
necessary for the q. s. Food Admins
tration to urge still further reduction
in the consumption Of bread and bread,
stuffs generally II we are to meet our
export necessities. The Food Admin.
istration has issued a statement ex.
planning the situation in detail, partic.
ularly the reasons which lead It. for
the purpose Of centering effort for the
time being upon the cereal situation
to relax temporarily the restrictions on
meat consumption.
Experience shows, this statement
says. that the consumption Of bread
stuffs Is intimately associated with the
consumption of meat. For various
reasons our supplies Of meat for the
next two or three months are consid-
erably enlarged, and we can supply the
allies with all Of the meat products
which transportation facilities render
| possible and at the same time some
what increase our own consumption.
In these circumstances the Food Ad.
ministration considers 1t wise to relax
the voluntary restrictions on meat con-
sumption to some extent with q view
to further decreasing bread consump-
ton.
Conservation OF food must be ad.
tusted to meet necessities from time to
time, for neither production, nor al
lied demands are constant factors, nor
can any of these factors be anticipated
for long periods In advance In the dis
turbed conditions In which we at pres
emit live. While the world situation Is
not one that warrants any relaxation
In the efforts to eliminate waste or to
relax economy In food, the Admins
tration desires to secure better adjust
ment In food balances.
So long az the present conditions
continue the only special restrictions
we ask are the beefess and porkless

The farmers Of the United State,
are responding to the national call K

complex factors which have effectet
an immediate increase In meat sup
plies.

been most gratifying, and this service
alone has enabled the government dur.

permitted.
