POSSIBLY SOME

1t has been pointed out time
and time again and rightfully so
that many teachers are underpaid.
And something should be done
about it.
But there was the high school
daughter who came home and spell
ed "cat" "kat", and the mother,
defending her daughter, of course,
declared that some teachers are
overpaid.
There are exceptions, many,
many exceptions, but in many
cases there is a tendency to bring
the quality of services rendered
into line with salaries received.
For years and years, the teach
er's pay held to the low side of
the see-saw. More recently, work
ers in various fields requiring
training and skill similar to those
required of the teacher, are point
ing out that their salary scAed-
ules are lower than those of the
teacher.
One can't overlook the salary
schedule, but a fairer schedule
could be had if it were based on
the actual quality of the services
rendered. Under that yardstick,
some teachers would receive more
pay, but, unfortunately, some
would receive less pay.

and sold fresh in l gallon, 1quart
and / pint containers. The proceed
ure is simple. Skilled operators,
mostly women, insert the thin mar
raw blade of an oyster knife be-
tween the margins of the two
shells, cut one end of the large
muscle attached to the one of the
shells, discard the shell and re-
move the oyster meat by cutting
the other end of the muscle attach
ed to the other shell. The shell is
discarded and the oyster meat
dropped into stainless steel
bucket. The bucket holds one gal
lon and when full is taken by the
worker to a perforated tray into
which the oyster meats are poured.
When a few gallons have been
accumulated in the tray, a matter
of minutes, the meats are washed
by means of a fresh water spray
to remove sands, bits of shell and
the free juices of the oyster. The
meats are then packed in contain
ersfor shipment and stored under
refrigeration, usually ice.
The so-called blowing" of oys-
tiers has not been practiced to great
extent in this state, although it
is common practice in Virginia and
Maryland. Two local plants now
employ blowers. Blowing consist
essentially of accommodating several
gallons of oysters (after they have
been washed of sand and shelly in
a stainless steel container. Water
sufficient to float the oysters is
added and compressed air is re-
leased into the mess of floating
oysters. There is a violent agita-
ton of the oyster mass, but it is
not sufficiently severe to damage
the tender flesh. In the blowing"
process the oyster picks up some
of the water and becomes plump
and clear. 1t is the consensus of
experienced oyster men that elbow
ing" improves the keeping quality
of the oyster, provides a better
and firmer pack and makes less
noticeable the pigmentation of the
southern oyster. Oyster dealers,
who practice blowing, report that
there is less heard of the invidious
comparison between North Caro-
lima oysters and those from Vir-
ginia and Maryland. To the east

OYSTERS


The oyster business of the state
is one of the oldest in the fisheries
having had it's beginning as an i'm
portant phase of the fisheries in
the last quarter of the 10th CEN
tury. 1t reached it's highest produc-
ton peak in 1902 when 5,645, 1928
pounds of oyster meat were pro-
duced. This was the time of the
extensive steam plant operation
and also time of uncontrolled and
unrestricted exploitation of the
oyster beds. AS of about then
Hugh Smith, Deputy U. S. Com
missioner of Fisheries, said of the
oyster, "The value of the oyster
exceeds that of any fish except
shad and in a comparatively few
years oysters may become the
leading fishery product as result
of cultivation and conservation
methods" Eight years later the
production had slumped to 1884,
900 pounds (1910) and only seven
times in the 45 years since has the
production exceeded that of 1910.
In 1858 the yield was 1885, 900
pounds representing a drop of
$4,000 pounds from 1852. Produc-
ton for 1866 will approach a new
low if the present evidence can
be used as an indicator. Violent
fluctuations have characterized the
production of oysters since the be-
ginning of the industry. This has
sometimes been the result of a
heavy supply of oysters in the
Chesapeake area but more often
short supplies appear to be caused
by man who has historically been
the greatest enemy of his own
resources. Written records and re-
liable memories supply abundant
proof of his depredations and his
unwise harvesting.
The heavy production of the
late eighties and the first years
of this century was, the result of
the most fragrant and conscience
less destruction. Natural oyster
beds were swept clean of live oys-
tiers and shells. Outside capital and
outside individuals moved into the
state. When the harvest was over
they closed their plants and moved
out. Time and again the oyster
planters from the Chesapeake have
come to North Carolina for their
seed stock, and were permitted to
take away this guarantee for the
future. 1t is doubtful that the beds
have yet overcome the severe
dredging of the early '40's to
supply oyster seed for Virginia and
Maryland.
Economic Status: In 1853 North
Carolina produced 1856, 300 pounds
of oysters for which the fishermen
were paid $636,O15. Of the Marine
edible produce oysters as class
ranked second, shrimp alone ex-
ceeding them in value. Il Part
time employment was given to
about 800 persons by this industry
on vessels and ashore. There are
no statistics to show the total in
come to those employed, nor are
the published statistics broken
down to show the value of the
manufactured product.
Processing: While some oysters
are sold in the she'll for home
shucking, steaming and roasting

The Seafood Crop
Its Economic Importance

The landings of all North Caro-
lima marketable sea products in
1853 were 1884, 900 pounds for
which the fishermen We're paid 49,
265, 1892. Of this amount menhaden
accounted for 132, 104, 900 pounds
valued at $1,387, 900. The amount
of edible resources, our principal
concern, was 60,543,O00 pounds
with a value to the fishermen of
Sc, $4,000. The catch consisted of
thirty-five species of fish, one spe-
cies each of oysters, clans and
scallops, three species of shrimp
and one species of crabs. A break
down into edible fin fish and the
others making up the total North
Carolina landings appears in the
following table.
Eight species of fin fish with
landings of a million pounds or
over each account for about eighty
percent of the total edible fin fish
landed. These most abundant fish
are alewives (13,842,OOO pounds)
croakers (1,4S4,00O pounds), floun-
ders (1,844,0OO), Kingfish (1,49O,-
600 pounds), mullets $500, 900
pounds), shad (1,sss,OOO pounds),
and trout (2,529, 900 pounds. The
average values per pound paid to
the fisherman for these fish range
from one cent (alewives) to 24.5
