as to further growth and expulsion
draws fresh attention to the oppor

development of the fist by-products in
dustry in the Dominion, especially ou
the Atlantic seaboard.
Continually it is being pointed out
that there is an enormous wastage go-
ing on in connection with the Cana-
dian fishing industry. Regularly tons
of fish cosidered unfit for market are
discarded, and in the cleaning of mar-
ketable fish other tons of the very
beat kind of material for processing
are thrown back into the sea. At the
same time the Dominion is importing
fertilizer and other products manufac-
tured from the very fish material it
is throwing away whoiesaIe.
As a single example of what might
be effected. in Canada, the case of a
fish fertilizer plant at Hull, England,
is cited. After lengthy experiment in
the manufacture of fish manure, a big
business has been built up which
serves 15.000 customers in the United ,
Kingdom alone, and exports also to
Barbados, Domin tea, Bermuda, Japan,
and even to Canada.
