Terrapin breeding urged by federal experts for profits
Washington reports diamond back terrapins, prized for dining, can boost profits if business leaders invest in breeding programs. Beaufort began with 40 females and 18 males, yielding 295 eggs in 1910 with 7 losses, then 513 eggs in 1911 with 421 hatchings, and 650 eggs in 1912 with 538 hatchings. Experts note low disease risk and that terrapins mature after two to three years, suggesting coastal farms with tidal water and swamp land, using economical pens.

Dog Saves Girl as Cyclone Strikes Missouri Farm
A white collie on General Henry T. Lee’s Missouri country place 12 miles south of Columbia saved 11 year old Elizabeth Ely from drowning when a cyclonic wind storm swept along a stream bank. The dog gripped the girl’s dress and held fast while General Lee and others intervened, preventing a likely plunge into the water. The scene unfolded as the storm approached and a yard walk led to the road with debris and dust obscuring sight. The news also notes Costa Rica’s 1912 total foreign trade at about 20 million dollars, with imports and exports nearly equal.
