Good News For
GOurmetS
BY ALTO BLAkESLEE
APP Science Writer

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (P)-Com-
ing for your dinner table-more
clans on the half shell, from the
Gulf of Mexico.
This is the promise in new ex-
periments in mariculture, or sea-
farming. For it appears that nor
thern hard clans can be seeded and
grown profitably in warm, nutri-
tious Gulf waters, augmenting the
nations supply of clans
The experiments are described
by DR.. r. w. Menzel of the Florida
State University Oceanographic In
stitute, along with some lore about
CLANS. fa
For one thing, most CLAIMS start
life as males, but many change to
female, and the sexes conveniently
wind up about $3.50 when they are
adult 80
many oysters, he adds, do the
same kind of sex switch. One spe-
cies, in fact, alternates from female
to male and back to female)
If you order Cherrystone or Lit
tie Neck CLANS, you're getting the
same thing-the only difference is
size and locality where they grew.
For all these CLAIMS belong to, the
same species, Mercenaria mereen-
aria.
DR.. Menzel is interested in sea
| farming. as one method ultimately
of meeting an expanding popula-
tons need for more food. Sea-
coasts offer millions of acres of ad-
ditional land suitable for maricul-
ture.
From DR.. v. L. Loosanoff, direc-
tor of the u. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service Laboratory, Milford, Conn,
he obtained 100000 tiny syoung
clans, ranging up to one-fifth of an
inch in SIZE DR.. Loosanoff has per-
fected technique of spawning and
rearing baby CLANS The entire
shipment was flown down in brief
case.
Dr. Menzel planted them at var
ious depths at Alligator Harbor,
Fla, where the Oceanographic In
stitute has a Marine laboratory.
Within a year, on the average, the
clans had grown to nearly 112
inch length, and two inches by two
years Some reached three inches.
Apparently, he reports, two-inch
clans for half-shell consumption
can be grown at concentration of
SO per square foot. This would
mean over $500 bushels per acre
over a two-year period. and one
man could probably farm the entire
lot.
A big problem, though, is preda-
tors, especially blue crabs which
pick on small clans.
AS he wadded around the clam
farm, Dr. Mcneil found some clans
faced still another hazard-he ate
them.

Whereas, good eyesight is one of

Whereas, as citizens we owe 1t to
ourselves and those we love to
guard our eyesight as we would
guard a precious treasure; now,
Therefore, 1, j. Caleb Boggs, Gov

Rose Show Glasses

1t is hoped that this year special
attention will be given by exhib-
itors in the fall rose show of the
Delaware Rose Society to the
arrangement classes. This show is
to be held on Saturday, Sept. "a
in the John Wanamaker Auditor
ium in Wilmington and all en-
tries must be in place by 10 am.
The arrangement classes may
be of special interest to persons
who do not grow roses since this
is the only part of the show in
which the roses need not be
grown by the exhibitor. The artis-
tic placement of the roses in the
arrangement and the overall
line effect are the points on which
the entry is judged The exhibitor
may either buy the roses he uses
or obtain them from a friend or
supply them from his own rose
garden.
Arrangements must emphasize
roses and must be staged by the
exhibitors themselves. Exhibitors
may not make more than one en-
try in any arrangement class and
should provide substitute if un-
able to exhibit.
In arrangement classes, bases
and background material may be
used and other foliage is permit
ted unless otherwise specified.
However, no ground pine or ar
butus may be used in any exhibits.
Laurel and dogwood from the ex-
hibitor's own gardens is permiss-
