The Only Pearl Farm In the World.
There is said to be only one pear]
farm in the world, but that pays its
proprietor handsomely. This farm
is in the Torres strait, at the north-
ern extremity of Australia, and be-
longs to James Clark of Queeasland.
Mr. Clark, who is known as ~~the;
king of the pear! fishers,T* original-
ly stocked it with 150,000 pearl oys-
ters. Now 1,500 men, 200 of whom
are divers, and 250 vessels are em-
ployed in harvesting the crop. oI
have been 15 yeays engaged in pear]
fishing,TT Mr. Clark told a corre-
spondent of the Melbourne Age.
~~My experience has led me to the
belief that, with proper intelligence
in the selection of a place, one can
raise pearls and pearl shells as easi-
ly as one can raise oysters. I start-
ed my tarm three years ago and
have stocked it with shells which I
obtained in many instances far out
at sea. My pearl shell farm covers
500 square miles. Over most of it
the water is shallow. In shallow
water shells attain the largest size.
I ship my pearls to London in my
own vessels. The catch each year
runs, roughly speaking, from £40,-
000 worth up to almost five times
that amount.�
