Show r:irl Fishing in Ohio. Pearl fishing in the Little and Big Jliami rivers, Ohio, has long been a recognized means of subsistence to hundreds hun-dreds of people in that region. Some of the finest pearls ever found came from there. For one of them Tiffany & Co. paid $1,200, and afterward sold it for R2.509. As much as $12,000 worth 'in one year have been gathered. The clams in. whose shells these pearls are found are raked from the sand bar during dur-ing low water, where they are found in beds similar to those formed by the salt water clams. They are readily raised wnen undisturbed and mature in two years. This industry, through the enterprise en-terprise of Hon. Theodore Wolking, will soon be firmly established in Kentucky. This gentleman is about to invest in two boatloads of fresh water clams from the headwaters of the Little Miami. They' will be planted on the edges of his famous fa-mous fish preserves at Kosedale.
