Of the total catch OF fish in the United States are
taken every year. So important is the industry
that factories equipped with labor saving devices
OF the most modern character operated all
along the Atlantic Coast prepare the fish for
fertilizer.
The establishment of factories was due 10 the in
terestng fact that fresh fish contains from So TO so
Der cent of water and from to Is per cent OF nil
Naturally water is of little value a fertilizer,
and all that is needed in this respect is supplied
by gentle showers from heaven The oil Is preju-
dicial TO the decomposition of the fertilizer when
applied to the SOIL but is useful by-product. and
the factories are provided with cooking and com
pressing apparatus for extracting IT. More than
900 gallons of oil are boiled and squeezed an
nually from the fish with the corrupted Indian
name. The scrap" which results from this is the
product used for enriching the soil The total an
nual product of menhaden fertilizer in the United
States is about $500 tons, valued ar 81 539.000
Not only the menhaden. but the refuse from
dressed fish. discarded markets, canneries and
homeless fish factories, the of whales
skates horseshoe crabs oyster shells, clam shells
and seaweed used as plant food. Of seaweed
alone about 10000 tons are thrown upon the land
each year and the waste fish amounts TO about
twenty thousand tons
Before steamers were used for taking the men
haden. large shore seines made Of cotton Irvine
were employed. and in some localities these were
owned jointly BY farmers OF the vicinity. Some or
these seines three thousand feet long. Ere
quently the catch single haul numbered sew
eral hundred thousand fish. although the average
haul was nearer ten thousand twelve thousand
Since steamers and factories have been employed
in the business the farmers, in a measure. have
discontinued catching them finding it more eco
nomicaI buy their fertilizer. Indeed. they ire
quently take their catches the factories. finding
it as economical TO buy the scrap" TO use
the fish in its natural state.
Among the fish sometimes taken in the nets are
the queer looking skates and bellows fish: In re
gard TO the oil they contain they are rather dry,
yielding less than pint to the barrel Of fish For
this reason they require little treatment Tor use
