velop such Of the seal as is fit for
food, while the offal Is used for the
fox herd.
I'VE discovered there what have
been nicknamed Redfield's Old Bones
1t was a deposit of seal bones which
had accumulated for over a century.
Some OF. these deposits were several
feet thick and ran for over 100 miles.
In 1919 we got 100000 pounds out
and got 1891. They are excellent
fertilizer. Tractors and trailers are at
work there. Then we put in use a
power lighter to Unalaska, $50 miles
away. The government has proper
ty worth $20,O0O,0O0 on the two
Pribilof islands of st. Paul and St.
George
1--WE turned our attention to the big
old male seals, which were supposed
to be SO rough and torn and marked
by fighting as to be no use, and we
found that these could be made into
very fine skins. A single one of these
skins Is big enough for an automobile
coat. They don't sell for anything In
London, but at our sales in 1919 they
sold high above the prices for the
small skins. All that is clear gain, be-
cause the skins OF. these old bulls were
supposed to be dead loss. Further
more. 1t helps the herd, because now
the number of males is very much
larger than is needed for the normal
Increase of the herd.
Though in 1918 we killed $4,000
seals, in that year the herd increased
IL per cent. AT the present rate II
would double In ten years. 1t is get
ting TO be magnificent property.
Look at the results: The estab-
lishment of an entirely new industry,
the largest and best of its kind in the
world; the obtaining thereby of this
great product, the largest In the
world; putting 1t entirely under our
control from beginning to end, from
the birth of the pup down to the
making of the sealskin.
This thing has been so successful
that the Japanese government. the
Uruguayan government and some 9TH
ers have sent not only their own seal
skins, but other skins as well, to ST.
Louis to be treated in this way.
ut is very wonderful result OF
conservation. The raw material SO
far from being wasted, is increasing
all the time. 1t Is in certain sense
eating your cake and having 1t too.
We can kill $4,000 year and yet add
right along to the size of our herd"

had long has substantial monopoly
] In these processes. In its original con-
dition the sealskin looks nothing like
the fur you see in the market. The
skin is yellowish gray with an outer
layer of what are called guard hairs,
The actual fur lies within the guard
hairs and close to the skin. and on
the removal of the guard hairs looks
like a rather curly, soft, silky wool,
light brown in color. The process con-
sists In removing the hairs without in
jury to the fur that lies beneath, in
the tanning and dressing of the skin,
the dyeing of the fur, and finishing it
by machining process. There are
$50 separate operations on the skin
before it reaches what we know as
seal furs, and the process takes about
three months.
SIN the United States there was
nothing adequate of the kind. We
arranged for the establishment of a
Undressing. dyeing and finishing in
dustry which should be the equal of
anything in the world. We made this
arrangement with contractor, who
established factory in st. Louis. 1t
employs something over 800 hands,
and is the largest establishment of its
kind on earth and gives us the
finest product In the world. During
the last year of the closed season.
with the limited amount of furs we
were able TO obtain from the natives
and which we sent to st. Louis, the
factory was able to get its hand in for
the larger business that was to follow
and train its men for handling the
processes on larger scale. A number
of experts from Great Britain volun-
tarily came over and took part In the
organization of the factory and the
training of the hands,
''Then IN 1918 we renewed the COM
merciai killing of seals. The quota was
fixed at $4,000 and we took 34,SS3
seals. In the next year. 1919 the
quota was $4,000, and the total num-
Der at the end of August. practically
the close of the season. was 25.3Sl.
y 1.-THE result has been an immense
saving to our government In the cost
of handling its product. and a very
much greater return to the govern
meff in the shape of profit"
Here Mr.. Redfield illustrated his
point by giving the figures of a single
sale held Oct. z, 1918. The number Of
skins sold was 12002. The gross pro-
aaadS xyara err QQ1 tba o~,,,a,.o. =,
Guiding cost of preparation of skins,

$233, 1852. Thus the net proceeds on
this single sale of 12,002 sealskins
were $544.T35.7s. At this same auc-
ton the government contractor sold
fox skins numbering 692 blue and 10
white pelts. The gross receipts were
$5S.17950 the expenses were S6,2S0. SO.

their hands In horror over the threat
ened extinction of the once enormous
seal herds In Alaska. Now, 1t appears,
the seals are Increasing greatly in
numbers and probably will become as
numerous as ever.
Moreover, a new American industry
has been created. There never was
any seal fur industry in the United
States though the United States was
ahe greatest fur consumer in the
world; now It has the largest and
best, conducted under government d.
rection. Along with II the government
has been building up by-products in
dustry of which oil and meat are
the chief items. and is making use
OF the seals on the Pribilof islands to
maintain and increase the gray fox
herd and enlarge the fox-skln business
Along with that goes the probing of
the Islands for seal bones for fertilizer.
also a profitable industry, and the gov
eminent has found ways to get far
greater yield of furs than ever before
while at the same time greatly in
creasing the herd.
When one says that the government
has found means to increase both the
yield and herd 1t may not strike the
reader as so astonishing as 1t would
be If put In another way. If forestry
could manage conservation so as 10
increase the amount of lumber taken
out and at the same time Increase the
Number of trees, that would be a match
In conservation for what conservation
mas done in the matter of seals.
The chief credit for these achieves
ments lies at the door of DR.. Hugh
nj. Smith, the commissioner of fish
cries. one of the foremost authorities
on fish culture In the country. So
says former Secretary OF Commerce
William C. Redfeld, who took DR..
Smiths ideas and carried them out,
Mr.. Redfleld tells the story thus:
ave took hold of 1t in 1913 and
found existing the flve-year closed
season, which forbade the killing OF
any seals except the small number
needed by the natives for food. That
gave us plenty of time to plan for
che taking up of the production on
large scale. This country was the
largest producer of sealskin1 and the
largest consumer of seal furs. But the
process was that we would lake the
skins and ship them down to San
Francisco or Seattle. send them across
the continent, cross the Atlantic ocean
with them and land them In London.
There they were dyed, dressed and
made into finished furs, and then
were sent back again across the At
lantic ocean to the United States as
'hn imported article. paying so per
cent duty. TO be consumed by our own
,people--one trip across the continent
and two across the ocean.
1.-THE economic wastefulness of that
process needs only TO be stated, the
product being ours originally and the
market ours. There was no adequate
plant in this country for dyeing. dress
ing and machining sealskins. London
