CANNED SALMON
 HAS COMPETITOR
Shrimp Gamers 0reaniz- ing to Advertise Their
 Food Products

NEW ORLEANS, July 24.-Com- peting for the canned sea foods spotlight with widely advertised canned salmon and canned tuna shrimp canners of the Gulf and South Atlantic coasts have or ganized the Shrimp Gamers Na- tional Advertising Association, with headquarters here, to carry on a national advertising and promotion al campaign to improve the mar ket for canned shrimp.
 The program will get under way in August. It will be supported by subscriptions from approximately 30 canners representing more than 90 percent of the U s. canned shrimp production. It is estimated by as- sociation officials that approxi- mately $100,000 per year will be spent by the group during the three-year life of the present con- tracts.
 Membership in the new associa- tion covers virtually all producers in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Georgia.
 Canned shrimp ranks as the third most important of all fisheries on the Atlantic and Gulf seaboard. The census of manufacturing shows the value of the U. s. canned shrimp production in 1887 to have been $7,O44,562. This is the latest year for which complete figures are available. The pack in that year totaled 1.268.257 cases. Cases are packed AS cans to the case. Dry pack cans weigh five ounces, while wet pack net 3l4 ounces.
 The average production for the four preceding census years, 1885, 33-31 and 1929 was 840,500 cases with an average annual value of $4,347 ,0OO
