FORTUNES GOING TO WASTE
According to conservative estimates, based upon
the annual catch of salmon in Alaska, fully one-eigui oi
the take goes to waste in the process of canning.
Thus, if this waste material was turned to account,
Alaska’s annual harvest, ranging around $40,000,000,
would be increased by $8,000,000.
In view of the increased demands and uses for oils
the Bureau of Fisheries is conducting extensive exper
iments and analyses of the bodies and oils of various
fishes, including sharks and skates, to determine their
value in manufacturing, and also conducting research
into the matter of determining more definitely the pos
sibilities of hydrogenating fish oils for use for edible
purposes of their nutritive values based on investga
tions by experts in vitamines, etc.
Bulletin No. 769 of the U. S. Department of Agri
culture, discussing this later phase of the subject, says:
“Recently a refining process in which hydrogen in
stead of steam is used to blow the oil has been develop
ed. It appears that it is now possible to remove the dis
agreeable odor and flavor from some kinds of fish oils
and render them suitable for food. For several years
whale and possibly some fish oils have been hardened by
hydrogenation in Norway and Germany, and within the
last six months a lard substitute made in this way from
Pacific Coast herring has appeared on the American
market. . . .when whale oil is haVdened it is white, odor
less and tasteless. It is used as a substitute for tallow
and the best quality for margarine.”
Seeking to determine if salmon would serve as a
substitute for cod liver oil as a source of vitamin for
poultry, extensive experiments were conducted on 100
selected pullets, all of which were from the same brood
of chicks. These were divided into groups, 10 birds each.
Ihe rations were arranged with a view to determ
ining presence or lack of Vitamin A. when the fowls
showed the effect of lack of Vitamin A through disease,
some were tested with salmon oil as a restorative, which
succeeded. Where no salmon oil was fed but other vita
min producing foods were given the result showed: Per
cent gain in weight 24.7; eggs, 2; birds that developed
nutritional diseases, 10; number that recovered, 0; num
ber alive at end of experiment, 4; number that died, 6.
Where salmon oil was fed in proportion of lcc, the
increase in weight was 44.o percent; eggs, izo; aeveiop
nutritional diseases, 0; number alive at end of exper
iment, 9; number that died from other causes, 1.
The salmon oil used was produced from salmon
cannery refuse consisting of heads, tails, fins, viscera
and livers, containing not more than 4.16 percent free
fatty acid.
Imports of fish oil for consumption during the fis
cal year of 1918 amounted to 4,881,982 gallons, valued
at $3,638,749 and exports in that year were 455,629 gal
lons, valued at $446,589, or an average of almost $1.00
per gallon.
Thus there is a potential market awaiting the Alas
kan fish oil producer of approximately 4,000,000 gal
lons, much of which may be recovered from cannery re
fuse, cod livers, whales, seals, burbot or ling, the sources
now most familiar to the Alaska fishing industry.
We are envious of Juneau, we frankly admit.
Not because she will soon have a magnificent Capitol
building—we congratulate Juneau on that—but upon
the fact at least 100 fishing boats are expected to tie
up there over the winter. Something like that would
happen in the Port of Seward providing a breakwater
or shelter-harbor were here.
If it isn’t too late, Henry Ford should add a pros
pector’s red flannel shirt to his collection of Americana.
A new cooling system installed in the Senate cham
ber in Washington is as effective as the melting of 175
tons of ice daily. This should condense quite a lot of
hot air.
ill!! SHOES Iff.
! FROM OLD AUTO HUES
_
TIRANA. Sept.. 20, (/P)—Making '
new Shoes from old automobile tires 1
is a regular industry in Albania, j
The country imports large quanti- I
ties of the worn tires from other
European countries and cobblers j
cut them into required lengths, I
fashion a toe and a tongue and j
lace a strip of leather around the ;
top to bind the whole together.
Demand for this type of footwear j
is great. The shoes, of course, cost I
less than those made of leather j
and the wear longer than sandals. I
