velop such of the seal as is tit for
food, while the offal IL used for the
fox herd.
1--WE discovered there what have
been nicknamed 'Redfield's Old Bones
1t was 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
power lighter to Unalaska, 100 miles
away. The government has a proper
ty worth $2O.OOO,OOO 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
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
II per cent. At the present rate 1t
would double In ten years. 1t Is get
ting to be a 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.
1T Is very wonderful result OF
conservation. The raw material. so
far from being wasted, is increasing
all the time. 1t Is in a 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"

tneir 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, new American industry
las been created. There never was
any seal fur industry In the United
Stntes, though the United States was
the greatest fur consumer in the
world; now 1t has the largest and
best, conducted under government d.
rection. Along with It 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-skin 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 tine
yield and herd II may not strike the
reader as so astonishing as 1t would
be if put in another way. II 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
has done In the matter Of seals.
The chief credit for these achieve
ments lies at the door of Dr. Hugh
M. 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. Redfield, who took DR..
Smiths ideas and carried them out.
Mr.. Redfield tells the story thus:
1--WE took hold of 1t In 1918 and
found existing the five-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
the taking up Of the production on a
large scale. This country was the
largest producer OF sealskin5 and the
largest consumer Of seal furs. But the
process was that we would take the
skins and ship them down to San
Francisco or Seattle, send them across
the continent, cross the Atlantic oceun
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
an imported article, paying 80 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
