OPERATORS PLAN
RESTRICTION OF i
HERRING PACKS!
Large Part of 1922 Pack Held
Over — O’Malley Urges
Maintaining Quality.
| Herring ipackera. new reported to|
I be carrying over some 25,,000 barrel*
of last year's packs, .plan restriction
of operations in Alaska this ieaM,
according Ito advices received here.
| Lee Wakefield, whose 1922 pack was
11 wlce as large as any c her 1 acker,
j hlaiS announced that the lint an and
j Frankilin stations will put up but
j little <more than i tie-half as much as;
'last veur and 'the Port Walter plant,
j of which ho now 'has charge, will
| also llm'it 'Its output.
Commissioner of Fisheries Henry
J O'Malley was recently in New York
j consulting with people who are en
jgiaged in marketing Alaakli Scotch
loured herring and discussed ways and
means of building up the Industry.
In his opinion it must fired establish
itself on the market on a quality
!'bagis rather in quantity.
Prevent Over-Production
In a letter to a trade publication j
of Seattle, the Commissioner sald.i
among other things: “The Alaska j
Scotch-cured 'herring is finding a
place in the New York market, and!
if the grade is maintained at a high |
level 1 am hopeful thoit It will be-j
, crime so firmly established that It j
will supplant the fish imported from
foreign countrios.”
Regarding the reUrirrion of packs,
Mr. O'MIa'lley said:
"Taking mil cond.vionv Unto consid
eration, H Would veem wise for Al
aska 'Scotch-cured herring oper tors 11
to carefully sttudy conditions so as|i
to prevent ovoriproduction, which
means, first, the waste cf a splendid t
food fish and, second, a serious loss
to the oiperai'ior.a who are in the;
business in Alaska.
“While I do not wish to be p'aced
in the position of recommending the,,
curtai l (mom. or t he oovaiipmc ..n
the herring .business in Alaska, th *
iptllaxt should ibe emphasized that the
demand is sharply restricted at pre.'-j
ent to certain classes of our popula
tion and the boundary Of ovor-produt - j
ifion Is clear cut. The uim of cur-, I
era should bo quality rathar than
quantity and sf a hi*# standard can I
ibe maintained the demand will .soon ,
(begf.n to expand. I feel that as time ]
goes on the herring fishery wIM b<‘
tmo or the leading fisheries at Al
i aska.” J
Wakefield Ha» Like View j
Mr. Wakefield is quoted as hav
ing a like opinion, saying: I
‘The Alaska herring is a wonder
fully fine fish, and should be handled j|
so as to make the most of Its natural|
quality. If the industry Is to have!'
the future that it should have, II, i
must ibe put u'i and sold as a fancy!
article at a iJanhy price- It canned! i
be successfully handled on any other j
basis under present conditions. Hi
it is once established on a quality |
basis, there will bo an opportunity j .1
to build up a broader demand through;]
its attpoal 'to larger numbers of con-i i
suraers, and thus make room for a!
larger production .than ds feasible at’!
present. Alaska herring has never!
had any advertising, but the produc-i'
ors should work With distributors toj.
create a larger market."
A number of crews have already
reached Alaskan plants and are get- .
ting ready for the season. Santo new
plants are (being established and re-i
iorganlxaflotts of old comp* n lea arel’
reported. Despite the over-production J
