Finds Salmon Too

Dear Miss Grey: a recent edition
~ The Star exhibited on the front

connection Herewith expressing the
opinion that Puget sound people do
not eat enough OF our local fish.
Miss Grey. fishing Is surely one Of
our greatest industries and yet il
seems TO benefit only the wholesale
nsh companies and canneries. have
tried FOR the past three years 10 get
some salmon for canning at home as
we live in the country. besides the
convenience Of having Il at home
when needed. and could get none.
Here. briefly, IS our experience Of
last year During the salmon run in
August we went 10 the market. The
price was 1874 cents per pound. II
takes az least two pounds, TO a quart
jar. or in other words, Is cents per
quart, not considering your work.
fuel and the oil used in canning sal
mon. which. OF course. makes II too
expensive for canning. SO down to
the San Juan Fish company we went
and there were told they didn't retail
FISH. and were directed to certain
dock where salmon we're being un.
loaded at the time. We located the
dock and there they were being taken
from the fishing boat BY the hun
dreds.
Ny husband went down and asked
the man in charge "a Chinese was do.
ing the unloadingj. whether we could
get some. fish and the man. not over
" courteous, said Yes. 1914 cents
per pound. That ended our search.
or course we realize the wholesale
companies must protect the retailers.
yet why shouldn't salmon be offered
on the market during its short run
al a price within the reach Of all
who would care to can it them.
selves. just as fruit IS?
Personally. ] think this ono Of the
reasons why II isn't used more. I
use canned chicken and other meats
and don't get in the habit OF using
II simply because don't have il on
