Advertising h. creases Sales of Salmon l6 Percent

m help1ng thlS industry to sell Us pack to world markets was told to Seattle sales and advertising executives by prominent salmon industry figures here today when the Seattle Advertising and Sal es Club honored Canned Salmon week.
 At a meeting presided over by Arthur I Ellsworth secretary manager of the Canned Salmon Industry the historical back ground of the Alaska salmon can ming industry was outlined by Captain Fred SVensson head of the salmon operations of Libby McNeill and Libby.
 C F Johnson president of the Northwest Salmon Gamers As sociation and Walter Munro of Pioneer Canneries were other speakers.
 In outlining the salmon indus try's cooperative advertising cam paign to the sales and adVertis- ing chiefs Ellsworth stated that during the four years of nation al advertising of canned salmon the annual pack of salmon had increased Is percent but that ad- VertiSing had enabled the indus try to increase sales 16 per cent and. had reduced the average car ry-over of salmon.
 In speaking of the develop ment of the Alaska salmon indus try Captain Svensson said that in the early days the size of the pack was limited to the ability of the machinery to do the job. He said that with modern canning machinery the canneries were able today to turn out a better product much faster. He review ed the growth of the industry from the building of the first can nery at Klawack in 1878 until the present day.
 Captain Svensson also describ ed changes in fishing methods stating that until about 1901 purse seining in Southeastern Al aska was hand labor with no power being used. He said that fishing in Bristol Bay in the early days of the industry was very similar to what it is today except that the shape of the boat has changes. While sail boats are still used in that area the boat has changed from flat bottom to round bottom boat.
 C F Johnson spoke of the haz ards of the salmon industry and pointed out the problems involV ed in financing the seasonal op- erations. He emphasized the great distance that supplies and many of the workers in the in dustry must be transported.
 Johnson said that the manufac turing cost of canned salmon was liable to wide fluctuations be- cause most of the cost has to be paid out regardless of the size of the pack If the pack is very large the cost per case is relat- ively low However in the case of a small pack the canner operat or still has most of his invest ment in the pack and the manu- featuring cost per case is very high.
 He said that one good year fin ancially usually has to carry the cost for two or three poor years.
 Munro told of selling the Alas ka salmon pack. He stated that the salmon industry advertising campaign was progressive step in meeting new problems that had arisen in recent years. He pointed out that since 1921 the production of other varieties of canned fish in California had de veloped to the point that the total volume was about equal to the Alaska salmon pack and that this meant new competition that salmon was meeting in the mar : ket
 He also pointed out that frozen foods were presenting new com YNrAI1axa1 o4o |. oh

CROP INSURANCE NOW AVAIL
ABLE TO CECIL COUNTY
WHEAT GROWERS

Protection by insurance on the
wheat crop to be planted this fall
is now being offered to growers in
Cecil county by the County AAA
Committee, according to ]. 2. Miller,
County Agent. Both operators and
landlords may insure their interests
in the crop.
Growers who have insured their
wheat crops the last two years have
found the program to be an excell--
ent means of protection against loss
es from hazards that. cannot be for
seen, such vas hail, fire, drought, in
jury by insects and disease, etc. Fig
ures received from the Crop Insur-
ance Corporation show that Is per
cent of the Maryland growers who
insured their crops in 1889 were
paid indemnity for losses. For a
small cost, the crop insurance pro-
gram guarantees three-fourths of a
normal crop.
Every grower will not collect
payment every year, but in a year
when misfortune overtakes him in
the form of partial crop failure,
the grower protected by crop insur-
ance in assured of a crop to sell.
Wheat growers would probably
plant an extra half-bushel of wheat,
if so doing they could be definitely
assured of a crop. Such assurance is
given to wheat growers by the Crop
Insurance Program because by pay
ment of the equivalent of one-half
to two-thirds bushels of wheat per
acre, the grower is guaranteed three
fourths of normal crop, If he does
not plant wheat in excess of his
wheat allotment.
Applications for crop insurance
will be accepted up to August 81 at
the County Agents office, or by any
member of the AAA committee. For
further details about the program,
growers are urged to attend one OF
the meetings to be held soon in the
county, or to see their County Agent,
or member of the AAA committee.
