Cooperative Marketing

Agriculture produces enough &c

some of this production should be
stored to eliminate the over supply at
the times of harvest or during periods
of high production. 1t can then be
thrown upon the market in accord

Cooperative marketing is still in its
infancy. In a few localities where

X-RAY USED TO FIND PEARLS
Oyster Shells Looked Through to Lo.
cate Gem Stones, Much Time
Being Saved,

Science has come to the aid Of the
pearl hunter, whose task has now
been much slmplifed by the employ
ment of X-rays to detect the pres
ence of the gem which, If 1t means
only trouble for the oyster, spells
money for the man who can find 1t
and bring 1t to market.
Every oyster had formerly to be
opened before 1t could be ascertalned
whether or not 1t contained a pearl,
says London Answers. When one real
ICES that thousands Of oysters are bar
rem and days may be spent opening
oysters without finding single gem,
the utility Of the newer process is at
once apparent.
After the oysters have been dredged
or collected and dispatched to the
harbor, they are now examined by Y
rays. If pearl is present in one of
them the shadow pictures at once
show 1t.
Speed In handling is not the only
advantage of this system. oysters
which are shown to possess no pearls
are not harmed In any way, and can
be returned to the water in the hope
that, later on, pearls may develop in
them. Similarly, oysters shown to
contain only small pearls are replaced
in special tanks, so that the. pearls
may be given chance to grow larger.
This should mean that In few
years time we shall have more, bet
ter and very probably cheaper pearls.
