Is Vitamin A
In Seal Liver
Worth Savings?

Continued from Page One)
haps 10 per cent have fat, yellow,
oily livers laced with up to $4.25
worth of vitamin A.
Pale yellow livers appear to be
slightly richer in oil and "signifi-
cantly greater" in vitamin A po-
tency than seal livers of normal
reddish hue, the agency said.
The service each year kills, pri-
marily for their valuable furs,
about $4,000 of the 100000 seals
that summer on the Pribilof Is
lands.
Blubber scraped from the skins
is converted into oil. The car
cases themselves are proceSsed
into meal and oil. Average value
of a seal carcass in terms of re-
duction products, FOB, Seattle:
about $160.
The service has been wondering
whether it would be profitable to
render the livers separately from
the carcass, because of the vita
minis in the liver oil.
It assigned chemist F. B. San
ford and biologists K. w. Kenyon
and V. B. Sceffer, from its Seattle
office. to investigate. They report
ed their findings in the services
magazine, Commercial Fisheries
Review, yesterday.
AT the prevailing price for
vitamin A-about Is cents per
100000 units - the average seal
liver is worth about 25 cents. So
little it is questionable whether
the liver could be handled profit
ably under existing conditions"
they said.
Perhaps 10 per cent of the to-
tai seem to be rich enough in vita

ploitation at present prices. The

have made similar efforts to bring
influential spokesmen from the

Present moves lie largely in the

to be, however, a feeling that a
