Special local regulation seems to remain aloof from the problem of insuring a future clam supply. That the combined area of all the towns of Buzzards Bay does not equal that of a single town in the Cape Ann district is an undeniable truth; but the fact nevertheless remains that an industry far more considerable than exists at present could be supported, and it is truly to the interest of the towns of this region to make the best possible use of their limited advantages. _Falmouth._ Falmouth has a long coast line not only on Buzzards Bay but also on Vineyard Sound. The flats at North and West Falmouth on the bay side are similar to those of Wareham and Bourne, though there are several small patches of quite good digging. On the southern shore there are clams scattered along the coasts of the various indentations, particularly at Waquoit Bay. SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY. Number of men, - Capital invested, - Production, 1907:-- Bushels, 200 Value, $175 Total area (acres):-- Sand, 40 Mud, 5 Gravel, 5 Mussels and eel grass, - Total, 50 Productive area (acres):-- Good clamming, 2 Scattering clams, 8 Barren area possibly productive (acres), 40 Waste barren area (acres), - Possible normal production, $6,400 _Bourne._ The clam industry at Bourne is practically extinct. Scarcely any clamming is carried on by the inhabitants of the town, even for their own use, as clams have become so scattering that it hardly pays to dig them. The territory is much the same in extent and general character as that of Wareham, but it has been over-dug to a greater degree, and has become nearly barren. SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY.
