PAGE FOUR United States Government Encourages Water Water Farming SEA FOOD IS GROWN LIKE LAND CROPS Ocean Farmers Leasing Water Areas and Staking With Bouys Bv LARRY BOADMAN WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Agri culture now bears t■ same' rela- , tien to water that agriculture bears t», land. It is being conducted in mucn tne same way. Within a few years it will be car lied on to almost as great an extent And without it the productivity •f ceaons, lakes and rivers ft ceans, lakes and rivers would diminish in t e s ameway diminish in the same way as that of yoorly cultivated field. This information is illicited frof Lewis Radcliffe, deputy commis sioner of the L. S. Bureau of Fish eries, and Dr. Austin H. Clarke, cur star of the Smithsonian Institu tion’s Division of Echinoderms. According to Radcliffe, ocean farmers are now leasing water areas and staking them out with buoys. “In these areas,” he said, ‘‘they enjoy exclusive rights. They re move all dangerous growths as a farmer pulls out weeds, and culti vate seafood as carefully as a far mer raises his crops. MUCH LIKE AGRICULTURE “And as different areas on land ■are suited to different kinds of •crops, so different water areas are suited to raising different kidns of i fish and other Sea products. "The bottom growth must be of a certain variety. Even the water ' must be the rigr.t composition. I “At our station near Beaufort, N. ’ C., we are growing terrapin in afcout the same way a farmer ’grows chickens. < “Off the Long Island coast, ws are experimenting with the raising •f oysters. As to fish, we produce and plant five billion eggs, fry and fingerlings each year for stocK. “In the middle west, we take fish from lakes that are drying up, in noculate them with fresh water musels—from which pearl buuttons are made, and xplease them in Mis sissippi river. This accomplishes the dual purposes of saving the fish and increasing the mussel crop. , BUTTONS NEE DCULTIVATING “Many cities are going in for t< raising—Norfolk, Va., .for example, with its 2000 acres of water. In cases like this we co-operate by supplying eggs, fry and fingerlings to plants.” CSlark points out the necessity f r . acgulculture if the world’s seafood I supply is to last. productivity of the ocean is unlim- ■ “Most people imagine t t , ited, that it will continue to yield j up its seafood and other products regardless of cure or cultivation,” j tie said. “This is far from true.

And its pro ductive areas, near land, may easily be rendered nonproductive. "In order to live and multiply the inhabitants of the ocean must have nutriment. "There are fish, seals, sea-birds and hosts of bottom livihg animals al] browsing, directly or indirectly upon the same pastures. “These pastures must be main tained and kept up if ocean life is to survive.” I PARIS LIKES NEW AMERICAN DANCES BARIS, Oco. 16—. The newer’ American dances, such as the Charleston and still many varations have proved popular in the smarter cabarets and dance halls, but at tempts to make them catch on with the general dancing public of Paris are not meeting with any greater response.

Even the danving teachers are half-heart ed concerning the complicated [Steps. They declare frankly they do . not think they ever will be popular ’ among the dancing multitudes. I Meanwhile, negro revues and ne gro acts are drawing crowds to the music halls, and some cabarates in an effort to show they have the real unadulteraed thing, advertise their negro artists as “born and bred in Charleston.” The time honored custom < f leav ing cotton exposed to weather should be more honored in the breach than in the observance.
