Fishing--One of Worlds Oldest
Industries Being RevOlutiOnized
By G. B. LARRABER

Iers a pretty constant source of sup
ply anu IS ideal Tor Iilletlng. How
ever, the IlsHery companies are con
stanuy experimenting and laying
pans TO extend Iiueuug To other va
rletIes OF fish.
me process Of filleting varies with
different companies. IhIs deserip-
ION. however, Is OF what one com
pany. the bay State Fishing Com
pany, does.
When the fish are brought in By
the trawlers they are removed al
once from the mold (WheTe they have
been iced By ice made by the COM
pany itself and packed into the
IraWlers before they set out for the
banks.) IN the old days, forks were
used TO move the fish, but today
forking is going out. A forked fish
Is likely to break down under the
fllleting process and a broken fish is
not good merchandise. lWouIdna [
the oIdtimer guffaW at this mention
Of merchandise?)
From the traWler the fish are
hoIsted to the dock, where they are
placed on conYeyors and carried to
the top floor OF a six-story building.
There they start a downward jour
ney which ends in the refrigerator
car.
The first step in filleting is the re-
moyal of the scales, which is done by
special machinery that automatically
picks up the fish. moves them over
rapidly revolving wire brushes, turns
them over to scale both sides and
drops them in a chute. This chute
lands them on tables where men wait
for them. As the fish is pushed
along the tables the heads, tails and
bones are removed. Each man does
Just one thing. The fishing indus
try has learned its lesson from Henry
Ford.
The waste material, incidentally,
is collected and sold to dealers who
buy it for use as fertilizer. The At
lantie Coast Fisheries Company sells
the waste as fish meal which IS ex-
ported to Germany. This is a source
of revenue to the fish company which
in the old days got little benefit from
the waste, most of the dressing of
fish being done by dealers.
The last man at the table throws
the fillet onto travelling belt where
the fish is carried to a brine trough.
Here it Is washed and sailed slightly
just enough to save the housewife
from sailing it herself. Then it is
picked up automatically in an iron

she lives hundreds of miles from the
coast. It IS clean. uneontaminated

nicely packaged. and ready to serve.
What more can you ask for a food
product2
Then, of course, there IS the dealer.
The dealer used to be one of the
factors that stood IN the way Of sell
ing fish. IN the first place. fish can
be pretty messy things 10 handle.
They are slippery and they are Shiny
and il they are beginning to age a bit
they have an aroma. only aroma is
toe fancy a word; smell is better
Also they require a separate depart
ment. You cant put them near meat
because they contaminate the meat.
What they'll do to butter or cheese is
better left unmentioned.
Today. the dealers attitude has
changed. You'll find fIllets sold in
drug stores delieatessens. fruit stores
and the like. So you see this new
idea has not only won new consum-
ers, II has Won new outlets and new
outlets are important.
Don't let me give the impression
that there isn't any sales resistance.
There Is. The answer, of course. IS
advertising. You'll find, then, that
the fishing industry has taken TO ad-
yertising. Not the eat more fish
type of cooperative advertising, al
though that has been done. No; this
is advertising for specific trade
marked brands.
Thus an industry that a few years
ago advertised so little that its ad-
vertising was negligible is now be
ginning to use space in all kinds Of
mediums. i you take the word of
the men who are growing up with
this new development, fish adyertis-
ing IS in its very early infancy What
are the results?
One company told me that it can't
get enough fish to supply the de
mand. This particular company talks
not in thousands of pounds but in
millions. One trawler. for instance,
recently landed nearly quarter of a
million pounds of fish. The average
amount landed is around $4,000
pounds
This company recently built a
large smoke house so that 1t could
smoke fish. That smoke house has
+ been practically idle for months. The
company Is selling all its available
+ fish for filIets. Today. the company
/ has a stable fleet of trawlers. It
plans to double that fleet before next
winter A few years ago, the stock
was selling around . a share. A few
i weeks ago It sold for sos.
Another company told me that 1t
had doubled its business every year
for the last two years. Before fillet-
ing was taken up. the company owed

drops 1t onto another chute.
II is then carried TO sorting tables
where men sort the unchanged 1Illels

prised 70 note how carefully the Sc
IectiOns are made. Only a couple OF

denied a name.
Once more the fiIlet goes onto a
eOnveyor aud IS carried to the boys
who wrap 1t IN a sheet Of vegetable
parchment paper on which the trade
mark is stamped.
Once the fish Is wrapped 1t is de-
posted in a large tin can holding
many fillets. This IS dropped to an
other floor where it IS put IN a refrig-
Grating room. II remains there only
a lew minutes or hours and then is
taken and placed. automatically, in
boxes which are wired together au-
tomatically. IN the boxes the cans
rest on a cushion OF ice. The boxes
are then packed in freight ears and
sent out to dealers who may be more
than a thousand miles away. Yet
they'll be fresh when they reach
those dealers.
That IS the process of sending out
fillets Of fresh fish.
The Atlantic Coast Fisheries Com
pany uses a slightly different process.
After the fish are filleted they are
put through a special secret process
which acts as a preservative. This
has been approved b. about every
agency whose approval is worth any
thing. Then they are subjected to a
temperature many degrees below zero
so that they are frozen as stiff as
boards. After that, they come to the
wrapping machine which wraps them
and seals them automatically and as
nearly Theoretically as is possible
with paper. They are then packed
in insulated corrugated boxes and
shipped. This company wants its
fish To reach the consumer frozen
and IS working on plans of furnish
ing selected dealers with special
electric refrigerators that will main
tain temperature of 15 degrees be-
low zero. Dealers who order a GER
tain quantity of fish for a period OF
three years will then own the refrig-
orators outright.
The fillet has opened a vast new
territory which, up to a few years
ago, was closed to anybody but the
seller of smoked or sailed ocean fish
That. IN itself, IS enough to change
the complexion of an industry.
The fillet has another advantage

to prepare fish under the old condi.
tions. Heads and tails to remove

some few years ago someone got the
idea that fish could be paekaged.
Once you get that idea you have the
basis for revolutionary changes in an
industry where packages have only
been known for the dried or salted
product.
From the package has grown the
popularity OF fish fillets. (On the

BEGGING FOR RIDES
UNDER POLICE BAN
State Law Prohibits Dangerous
Practice; Will Be Enforced
in Saint Paul.

Announcement by the St. Paul po-
lice that they will enforce the ordin-
ance against soliciting rides from the
streets and highways calls attention
to the fact that the state law also
prohibits this practice. The law reads
"No person shall stand in the trav-
eled portion of roadway for the pur-
pose of or while soliciting a ride
from the driver of any vehicle other
than a common carrier"
Another section of the law says
that mo person shall ride in or jump
into or upon any vehicle without the
consent of the driver"
Recently two st. Paul men tagged
another for ride, which was grant
ed. In an accident few seconds lat
er one of them was killed and the 9TH
er man and the driver were injured.
Standing in streets or highways
begging for rides is an extremely
dangerous practice, but it is done
by many school children and some
grown-ups. But it is we'll to remem-
Der that even if the law against this
practice is not enforced, those who
violate this rule may be caught in &C
cidents which are more serious than

STEERS FATTENED ON
GROUND BARLEY RATION

That there is a place for barley in
the Minnesota cattle feeding program
was shown when the results of feed
ing experiments We're reported at the
annual Cattle Feeders Day exercises
at University Farm May 2. W. H.
Peters, chief of the animal husbandry
division, presented the conclusions
drawn from the series of experiments
carried on IT'S days.
Ground barley full fed to one lot
of ten steers proved very satisfactory,
said Professor Peters, although the
gains did not quite equal the gains
made by another lot of ten which was
given a full feed of shelled corn.
Whole barley, on the other hand, fed
to third lot of ten, proved very sat-
isfactory, demonstrating that barley
must be ground to be fed profitably.
Each lot received in addition to the
test feeds basic ration of two
pounds of linseed meal per head daily,
and alfalfa hay and corn silage, both
full fed.
The trials were important, said the
university man, because many cattle
are being raised in sections of Min
nesota where corn for grain is not a
regularly successful and profitable
crop. If barley, can be used success

SLEEPY EYE BOY
FOUND DEAD IN CAR

Carbon monoxide gas caused the
death of Theodore Sellner, twenty
five year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
{ Theodore Sellner of Albin township.
I The youth was enroute to his home
from dance in the early hours last
Sunday morning. He had stopped
along the roadside to eat part of a
lunch which had been served, and had
left the engine running. Doors of the
Ford coupe were closed tight and the
gas soon filled the car, causing his
death.
The young man had left the dance
for home and from all appearances
had turned his Ford coupe off from
the road onto a cross road near a
neighbours farm. 1t was then that
he started to eat sandwiches which
he had carried from the dance in his
pocket. He had parked his car with
the back toward the wind and while
there was not strong wind blowing
at that time of night, still the gas
from the exhaust was forced back in
to the car. Windows in the coupe
were closed and no air could get in.
The chap was over come by gas and
slipped from the seat until part of
his body was resting on the floor
of the car.
During the morning several cars
passed the place where the Ford coupe
was standing and thought it a
strange thing, but passed on their
way without giving it any more
thought. The boys own brother
drove past and neighbor, Anton
Schroepfer, passed the car on his
way to Sleepy Eye. On his return
he noticed the car still standing there
and went over to investigate. 1t was
then that the PROSTATE figure of the
neighbor lad was discovered. The
county coroner was called, as were
county officials, and the former pro-
nounced that the boy had come to his
death by being overcome with carbon
monoxide gas. An examination of
the car revealed the switch still on
and the gas tank empty so the en-
CINE must have run for several hours.

fully in these localities for fattening
cattle for market, then stock raisers
can add materially to their incomes.
Professor Peters also explained that
there are advantages in growing bar
ley for cattle even where corn is sue
cessful crop.
Another experiment reported made
it clear that there was no appreci-
able advantage in prinding and mix
ing shelled corn and dry roughage for
fattening yearling steers when fair
to good quality of feeds were being
used. Steers fed the whole feeds for
the purpose of comparison proved
more profitable than those fed the
ground mixed feeds.

BASS SEASON OPENS.

Many Redwood Falls nimrods spent
the day, Decoration day, in angling
for members of the finny tribe. The
season opened Tuesday for bass, crap
pies and sunfish in the southern Sec
ton of the state. In northern Min
nesota, June 81 is the opening date.
With the opening of the bass sea-
son in southern Minnesota, all game
fish indigenous to that section may be
taken. The trout season opened April
Is, and the season on pike, piekerel
and perch opened May Is.
Seven inches is the minimum length
for crappies. The daily catch must
not exceed Is, and the possession linn
it is %. The size limit on sunfish is
five inches, and on rock bass, six
inches. Fifteen of either or both in
the aggregate is the daily catch linn
it.
Although fly fishing for bass, es-
pecially the small-mouthed variety,
is popular sport with a large num-
Der of Minnesota anglers, oait-cast-
ers will predominant at the opening
of the season. Live bait such as
frogs, crawfish, hellgramites, and
minnows, and the various plugs,
spoonhooks and spinners will be us
ed.
In the taking of crappies and rock
bass, live minnows are most gener-
ally and effectively used. Sunfish pre-
fer worms and grasshoppers. All OF
these "pannies" will take the fly Gag

SPRINGFIELD TO
ERECT FIRE HALL

AS a result of the activities of the
Springfield Fire company, the Spring.
field city council at its regular meet
ing decided to erect a new fire hall,
says the Springfield Advance-Press.
At the meeting of the council a dele
cation of firemen consisting of Chief
August Niemann, Alex Seifert, L..
Wandersee and Ernest Cady, appear
ed before the council to speak in ia
vor of the new fire hall. They ex-
planned that the present facilities for
storing and handling the city fire
fighting apparatus were inadequate.
The fire truck is being housed in a
garage for want of city-owned quar-
tiers. The city council agreed that
the fire company should have a new
fire house and that it should be To-
Gated on the former Schneider prop
erty north of the Jail which the city
acquired several years ago. Accord
ingly, the city decided to sell the
house on this property and erect a
new fire hall about 40 feet wide and
approximately 60 feet deep with a
room for the city clerk on the ground
floor and {. suitable hall on the sec
ond floor for the fire company, band
and council. 1t is planned to build
the front part of the building two
stories. The building will not adjoin
the Jail, but ten feet will be left for
driveway. The city owns fifty feet
frontage. The city council and COM
mittee of firemen will make an in
spection trip to other cities in this
section of the state in order to OBJ
tain ideas of how proposed new
structure may be planned to best serve
