MUSSELS TO BE CULTIVATED
Adequate Supply of Raw Material for
the Peari-Button Industry Is
object Sought.

An important step toward insuring
an adequate supply of raw material
for the pearl-button industry is being
made by the United States bureau of
fisheries, which, for the first time in
history, is cultivating fresh-water mus
sells during the entire first year Of their
growth The activity Of mussel cul-
turists heretofore has been confined TO
getting the young bivalves well start
ed in life, during the brief period when
they attach themselves to the gills and
fins of fish. Now, however, as a check
upon the effectiveness of their work,
the fish will be kept in large wooden
troughs until the mussels drop off, af-
ter which the latter will be retained
in the wooden tanks for a year, the
better TO observe and facilitate their
growth. The mussels will then be
planted in their natural environment
to complete their life cycle.-POpular

The foundation CT the entire organi-

and excellent progress In now being
made in the work Of organizing these
units. Sharyland and Mercedes growers
have already organized their respective
units, including over 95 per cent Of the
growers in those districts, and the Ex-
change promoters expect to have every
community in the Valley organized be-
fore the citrus marketing season opens
Packing plants, to be constructed OF
brick, concrete or hollow tile, will be
erected for every community unit as-
suring a minimum Of $50 car loads OF
fruit. These will be permanent struc-
lures, and the cost Of building and
equipping such plants will be approxi-
mately $32, 900 each. The community
unit will be asked to help finance the
plants by purchasing interest bearing
mortgage bonds up to 30 per cent Of the
cost Of the plant. the bonds to bear 9
per cent interest, payable annually.

boxes will bear the stamp OF the Texas
