THOSE SALMON BONES

The Canton News tells Of having re-
ceived from a friend in Portland, Ore,
a can Of salmon that was caught and
canned under the eye of the donor.
The item closes with this: The writer
can but wish DR.. O'Neil would explain
the process whereby the bones OF the
fish are made edible. This is a mys-
terry to many of us and whose resolv-
ing the writer can find in no encyclo-
pedia TO which he has access" This
writer can assure the News editor that
there is no mysterious process con-
nected with the canning of salmon.
We, too, have watched the entire pro-
cess from catching the fish to labelling
the can. The cooking of the fish is
what dissolves the bones. The fish
are first thoroughly cleaned, then cut
in proper lengths to fit the fiat cans,
the cans filled with nothing but the
fish, and sealed up. These are put
into a great oven and heated for a few
minutes, then removed and a hole
punched in the can to allow the gas to
escape. The vent is closed and the
cans returned to the oven to remain
until the fish is thoroughly cooked
if We remember rightly from one to
two hours. Since watching the pro-
cess We have been convinced of the
perfect wholesomeness of canned SAL
mon, as there is absolute cleanliness
in every department of the factory,
and there can be no adulteration.-

WHY NO POULTRY EDUCATION?

Some criticisms have been directed
against the State College Of late be-
cause it does not offer courses in
poultry culture and because poultry
experiments are not carried on at the
Brookings station. In fact, a recent
editorial in the Progressive Poultry
Journal at Mitchell becomes caustic
with differences that the State College
is not interested in the advancement
Of poultry culture.
Let us examine the real facts: /.
The college has always desired to Sc
cur funds for teaching it's students
poultry culture, and at various times
the president and director OF the ex-
pertinent station have asked the legis-
lature for authority and funds to begin
the work. Seven years ago, at the
beginning Of the present administra-
ton, the regents committee for the
college put the matter before the
cCdtO. AAC PiOpOSltlOu was UP 10 the
the representative Of the
people. Funds were not provided
culture at the college was not
(2.) Federal funds could not be
used at the State College experiment
to conduct poultry expert
ments until the state should formally
a poultry department. The
state has done nothing.
(3.) You poultry men, you farmers,
you business men-your college OF az
riculture at Brookngs Is what you
make it. II you want poultry culture
taught, have your representatives pro-
vide funds and authority for the work.
The college realizes the Importance Of
the poultry bu~siness.-the college has
often asked to be enabled to carry on
