Berkley, on the right bank of the Taunton River, opposite Dighton, has a very similar clam territory both in extent and characteristics. But little use is made of the clam except for bait, as the river water renders them very unsatisfactory as food. There is practically no industry, and there never could be any of importance, owing to the very limited area and the contamination of the waters. SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY. Number of men, - Capital invested, - Production, 1907:-- Bushels, 25 Value, $25 Total area (acres):-- Sand, - Mud, 5 Gravel, 5 Mussels and eel grass, - Total, 10 Productive area (acres):-- Good clamming, - Scattering clams, 4 Barren area possibly productive (acres), 6 Waste barren area (acres), - Possible normal production, $1,400 _Freetown._ Freetown, joining Berkley on the south near the Fall River line, possesses a number of clam flats, aggregating 25 acres. Very little business is carried on, although conditions are better than in Berkley or Dighton. The clams, too, are of better quality, being freer from the disagreeable flavor of clams grown farther up the river. The possibilities for clam culture in this town are not attractive, but the present conditions can be vastly improved. SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY.

On the more open waters of the north towards Freetown there is an extent of clam ground occupying about 25 acres. The foreign element in the city dig here for food, and some clams are likewise dug for bait, but the industry on the whole is of little consequence.
