Apart from the usual finds of pearls, the clam ming industry at favorable points in the Missisinpi valley is prospering this year. Pearls are the clammer's sideline. His main concern is dig ging shells from which buttons are made. The largest single shipment to date this year from Dixon was three carloads, some 150 tons of shells, which were dug from the bed' of the river within a radius of half a mile. They weut to a firm at LaCrosse, Wis. -The buyer paid . $70 a ton, which is the highest price yet re ceived by the diggers, and the three cars represented $10,000 worth of shells. . Shell Prices Raise. 'Many other clammers have been holding their shells for higher prices, .Since this shipment was made shells have gone to $80 a ton. Along the shores and mmy of its tributary rivers may be found numerous clammers' outfits which vary somewhat in design although all serve the same purpose. A typical outfit consists of a fiat bot tomed boat on cither side of -which is a rod 16 feet long. Suspended from this are chains with six four- I prong hooks on each chain, in all 600 hooks. . . . One bar at a lime is lowered and i dragged along the river bed, thus catching the partly open chm shell. Muddy water affords the est re sults, as the clams there open their shells for feedincf and can be the more easily caught. Spring is Best Season. Spring and early summer are the best seasons for the work, as the spring freshets disturb the water making it muddv. Lrtcr Jn the sea! the the on as the water becomes Cool clams bury themselves in the The industry is protected by game and fish laws, the season opening legally Junt , 2. and dptiing December 1. , Clams breed in August and are very prolific. The mother weaves a sort of web 'around herself and young, and when caught on the flamming hooks as many as SO or 75 young are oflcn found attached to her, while many others are lost in the catching. The worker's outfit includes a stove of some sort, the clams being boiled for an hour after they have been brought to shore. This opens the shell and enables the fisherman to remove the clam. One by one he goes through his catch discarding the meat which can be fed to swine or used for fish bait. Find Valuable Pearls. Each shells opened may bring a large reward tor many beautiful and valuable pearls have been found in this way. As the clammer runs his thumb along the fleshy muscle of the mollusk he may find big pay for his day's work. This summer on Rock river near here an $850 pearl was found, also otje which brought $130 besides many of lesser value. Almost every tint from whjte to black is discover ed, and exquisite pink and lavender being especially beautiful. . lEvery clam digger has in his cabin a tiny box lined with fluffy cotton. This is his treasure trove, and here are horded the findings of the day's catch. The experienced clammer knows the value of a pearl, knows about how much a flaw de tracts, and knows the decree cf perfection of the jewel, so that when the pearl buyer comes through the country the wise old river man . is no. novice to deal with. $1,000,000 In Farm Products Passes Through City Daily Farm 'products worth $1,000,000 passes through Omaha daily, accord ing to an Omaha banker who has made n study of the figures.
