Some years ago the kelp industry was
a hourishing and remunerative one.
but lately the manufacture of the
product has gradually declined, and
a number of people engaged therein
turned to the fishing industry, which,

fectly developed, yet affords more lu-
crative employment. There is some
indication. however, that the manufac-
ture of kslp will be greatly revived.
and with better markets there is no
reason why 1t should not pay.
