American Sardines

Our imports of SardineS from France
and other European countries have
been almost entirely cut off by war,
but the California sardine industry is
developing so rapidly that n. B. Sco-
field, fish and game commissioner of
that state, estimates an output of q
100000 cases of California sardines in
another year. The California sardine
has suffered market handicaps due to
lack of Standardization of pack. This
difficulty is now being overcome by CO.
operation among the packers, and bet
ter methods of handling the fish from
the time they are taken out of the
water until they go into the can are
being developed. Gamers representing
90 per cent of the Maine sardine can
ming industry in cooperation with the
food administration have voluntarily
agreed to reduce their price to $3.50 a
case of 100 cans for the one-fourth size
in oil and for the three-fourths size In
mustard, and $610 a case of 100 key
cans in the one-fourth size in oil. This
will enable retailers to sell the key
less cans at three for 25 cents, and the
grocery trade has lined up behind the
Maine Gamers to distribute both this
and last years pack at those prices.
