BY CLARA v. FORREST
(In The Virginian-Pilot)

In Inc VlrylnldH-F uOCI
A tea kettle in Hampton kitch-

dream. Such were the ingredients
that in the year 1878 launched
Virginia's crab processing indus
try, a business that in 1854 put
$1,638,000 into the pockets of the
James McMenamin believed
that some way could be found
to keep crab meat without spoil
ing-fOr years if need be-and
without chemical perservatives.
Moreover, he believed that the
process of keeping it need not
change the crabs delectable fla
vOr.
So with his tea kettle, he set out
to bring this about. 1t is recorded
in his scrap book now owned by
the M. F. Quinn Seafood Co. of
Hampton "After many failures,
and the expenditures of large
amounts of money, this result

plished."
M. F. Quinn Co. bought the
buildings and the business of the
McMenamin Co. in 1941, and the
scrap book, consisting of two heavy
tones, piecing out 64-year his
tory of it's crab processing BUSH
ness, was thrown in for good meas
ure. The Quinn establishment, now
measuring 200 by 10 feet, continues
the crab business in the McMena-
min tradition, and also maintains
fish and oyster business.
Floyd Moore, sales manager for
M. F. Quinn, says that the Nc
Menamin Co. was the first crab
processing business in the world.
The company did not ship fresh
crab meat until 1912, he said.
Moore, who has 81 years in the
business to his credit, worked for
the McMenamins for SO years, and
was transferred to Quinn Gas part
of the inventory" according to
him.
But back to the scrap book:
The business has grown from
this small beginning until there
is not state in the Union, and
very few foreign countries, to
which this crab meat has not
been shipped.

been had from any foreign ship

Copy of a letter of appreciation
from Lieutenant Greedy follows
(the letter is dated March II,
1880:
4" Gentlemen: 1t affords me much
pleasure to inform you that of
our canned articles, none stood in
higher favor than the crabs can

larger quantity had not been taken

two years after reaching Conger,

This was only one of many
laurels heaped upon the heads of

Hampton Roads when at the purple

spread wing for the fishing

at day before the crab catchers
are out in the blue waters of the
Bay cautiosly lifting the coveted
crustacean from its swirling sa-
line bed-a fat, smart, hardy little
kicker, Bye and bye, visiting
tongers set out to gather up the
fishermen's catch, for the flavor
of the crab is so delicate that it

served. AS soon as the live crabs
are received, they are at once
placed in iron cars and rolled in
steam boxes where they are
thoroughly cooked.
"While the crabs are being
cooked in these steam boxes, a
special signal from the steam
whistle of the cannery is blown
to notify the pickers to assemble,
and prepare for picking the crabs
we employ about 200 pickers
besides about 100 other en-
pl0yees.
"While the crab meat is being
preared as stated, the shells are
thoroughly cleaned, and afttr-
wards steamed to give them the
bright, red color known to the
trade, the natural color being a
greenish blue. Six of these shells

SWAN QUARTER TEAMS WIN

Manager Buddy Wheeler of the
Swan Quarter team was all smiles

The score was z to in favor of
Swan Quarter. Wahab Cahoon was
the winning pitcher. The players
from Swan Quarter were: Thomas
S. Harris, Carl Cahoon, Roger AL
len Spencer, Bennett Emory, Ben
Simmons, Mac Caravan, Joseph
Cahoon, Marvin Brooks, Merlin

wing the crab meat in different
ways.
"a case of shells accompanies
each case of crab meat for deviled
crabs that we ship. This enables
parties in the interior of the
country to serve deviled crabs on
their tables as well as if they were
residing at the seashore The
waste from the crab is dried and
used for fertilizer"
From Vancouver, Bristish Co.
lumbia, in 1912, Kelly, Doughlas
and Co. Ltd. and ad:
"Lured from the crab retreat in
Oceans coolest depths, and breath
sea-breeze freshness, comes the
Atlantic Crab to furnish a feast
to the Goth Century epicure fit
for an Emperor = McMenamin's
Deviled Crabs. Crab sausages,
escalloped crabs, crab omelet,
Emince of crabs, crab canapes."
The McMenamins, getting in on
the ground floor, dominated the
crab processing business for Ga
years. But today, even Moore will
tell you. there is no such Oppor-
tunity in the crab business as the
McMenamins enjoyed.
Too many people are going into
this business for any one house
to make fortune. AS late as 1916,
five years after the McMenan-
minis sold out, there were only II
processing houses in Virginia. By
1858, there. were 40.
The McMenamins were lucky.

Put Your Sows In
Shape For Farrowing

Large litters Of good, strong,
healthy pigs are essential to good
profits in pork production. And, a
good feeding program for sows is
the best way to get healthy Iitters.
Before narrowing. a SOW needs a
lot of energy to keep her in good
condition. Ray Lloyd, Associate
County Agent. says each SOW should
receive one and one-fourth to one
and one-half pounds of concentrate
per hundreds pounds of weight per
day as a rule recommendation
Be sure to provide pasture grasses
and plenty of exercise we'll
Sows should not be overfed. Too
much high energy feed will allow
sows to become fat and this will
decrease the quality OF the litter.
II your sows are seIf-fed, here is
one way you can cut down their
energy intake. Mix your concen-
trate with alfalfa leaf meal or
ground corn cobs before feeding.
A good ratio is $3.50 concentrate to
458o alfalfa meal or ground corn
cob. Another way to cut down on
energy intake is to have the feeder
a long distance from the sleeping
area. This induces exercises SO es-
sential to strong litters.
Many people ask If it is all right
to feed corn silage to sows. Mr..
Lloyd says yes. Silage is an ex-
cellent way to cut down on exces-
sive weight gains. A SOW should
receive 10 10 IL pounds of corn
silage plus TX to pounds of
concentrate per day.
Feed intake should be reduced
two to three days before narrowing
and the SOW should receive only
water during the last "a hours.
After narrowing, you can gradually
bring your sows back on to full
feed.
