PRODUCT OF SEAWEED
AN article in to-day's issue draws attention to the possibilities of founding a new industry in the Bay of Plenty. The discovery that seaweed from the coastal waters of the Bay, contains the agar so necessary for experimental use in medical establishments, brings the district to. the fore, as a potential centre for the future source of supply, to replace the article formally produced by Japan. Just as necessity is the mother of invention, the cutting off of the Japanese supply has already resulted in a further discovery of New Zealand's versatility as a land bountifully endowed. The Bay of Plenty agar is described as equal to the finest Japanese and it is pleasing to note that already Britain has placed an experimental order and enquiries have been i-eceived from the U.S.A.
