SALMON PACKER BELIEVES
STRONG WINDS AFFECT RUNS

ketchikan Chronicle: Carl Suffer
of the Fidalgo Island Packing com
pany, veteran packer who has been
intimately connected with the can
merry business all his life, believes
weather conditions figure most
largely in governing the run of
salmon.
As lie remarked to several in
| terested persons the remarkable
lact is that with all the scientific
AAowiedge brought to bear along
with the practical experience OF
men who have made their living
from the salmon industry very lit
Tie still is known of the real habits
OF the salmon.
However, according to Mr.. SUIT
ter, his observations lead him to
believe weather conditions more
than any other cause govern sal
mon runs. He believes that they
follow Laws of least resistance"
after schooling up in the ocean,
and will not battle into spawning
streams in any great numbers
against prevailing WlnQs. For In
stance he recalls in 1927 when the
first pink salmon showed up in
Cook Inlet and when great schools
of pink salmon swamped Prince
William Sound and the run in
Southeastern Alaska was a blank.
He recalls that in Cordova he was
able to pick out cans packed by the
Pioneer Packing company and tell
which were Southeastern Alaska
pinks" and which were prince
William Sound pinks."
Practically all the Southeastern
pinks that year." he said, were
driven off-shore by adverse winds
and headed into Prince William
sound.
