Menhade' s Industry

points along the Atlantic coast to OBJ
tain the small fish, which have been
used for fertilizer either by direct ap.
plication to the soil or following the
extraction of il from the fish. In re-
cent years this industry has gained
considerable Importance. so great thai
the bureau OF fisheries of the national
department OF commerce undertook
this year to make a comprehensive in

about $50 vessels are employed
throughout the season IN catching
menhaden for forty-eight factories

that $500 persons make their living
in catching the fish and in converting
them into oil anf guano, and that
nearly 100000 is invested In the in-
dustry. In 1912 there were caught for
this industry 1851, 100000 fish. equal
to more than 100000 barrels or
more than 100000 tons, am valued at
more than 100000. To the total
Virginia alone contributed nearly one-
half. From the catch were manu-
featured 6,s5o.o00 gallons. Of oil and
about 10000 tons of fertilizer, valued
at $3.700,000. Recently considerable
agitation has been raised against this
industry on the ground that the catch
has not been confined to menhaden.

other fish suitable for human food.
