der the national law we could use
benzoate of soda in quantities to SUIT.
hut the use of all chemical preserVa-
tives has been discontinued by re-
putable packers, and we do not pro-
rose to return to them We ma we
can accomplish the purpose by using

The association appeared two hun
bred strong before Secretary Wilson
to discuss the forthcoming regulations
on oyster growing and packing Inc
sentiment of the association was SO
wholly against. artificial preservatives
that the discussion was connned u
the proper methods of packing oys-
tiers for shipment. The oystermen
favored the practice Of placing ice
in the tubs or barrels containing the
oysters as being quite as effective as
and less expensive than packing them
in cans surrounded by ice. DR.. W. q.
Bigelow. acting chief of the bureau oil
chemistry. who has carefully investi-
gated the subject, thought the consu.
ner would receive more weight oil
oysters and better Favored ones ii
the ice was not in contact with them

cents per gallon.
The practice of floating" oysters
