4 U.S. BUREAU OF FISHERIES 



In addition to the above, at the request of the Florida State Mar- 

 keting Bureau and Home Extension Service of the University of 

 Florida and the Florida State College for Women, and in cooperation 

 with these organizations, the Division assigned a member of its 

 technological staff to assist the State and County Home Demonstra- 

 tion Agents in teaching the people of that State how to preserve, 

 cook, and otherwise prepare, and utihze to the fullest extent, the 

 fishery products of Florida. Norman D. Jarvis, assistant technologist 

 of tliis Division performed these duties. As a result of his work. 

 Bureau of Fisheries Memorandum S-331, entitled "Method for 

 Smoking Fish in the Southern States, with Recipes for Cooking," 

 and Bureau of Fisheries Memorandum S-332, entitled "Method for 

 Dry Salting Fish in the Southern States, with Recipes for Cook- 

 ing," were published. In previous years, other cooperative educa- 

 tional work was instituted and carried out by both Mr. Manning and 

 Mr. Jarvis of the teclmological staff. 



COOPERATION WITH THE EMERGENCY AGENCIES OF THE 

 FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 



During 1933, various emergency agencies of the Federal Govern- 

 ment, recently established, made considerable use of the facilities of 

 the Division of Fishery Industries, including its technical, marketing, 

 and statistical reports and the knowledge and experience of its per- 

 sonnel. Such cooperation was rendered to the National Recovery 

 Administration, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, the 

 Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the Federal Surplus Relief 

 Corporation, and others. Members of the Division's staff were 

 detailed first to the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and 

 later to the National Recovery Administration to supervise and assist 

 in the formulation of fishery codes of fair competition under the 

 National Industrial Recovery Act, and others of the staff were 

 called at the various conferences and public hearings in connection 

 with the development of these fishery codes. In August 1933, R. H. 

 Fiedler, chief of the Division, was detailed first to the Agricultural 

 Adjustment Administration and later to the National Recovery 

 Administration to become chief of the fisheries' section in connection 

 with these code activities. John Ruel Manning, cliief technologist, 

 and F. F. Johnson, in charge of statistical investigations, were 

 called as Government witnesses at many of the code hearings. In 

 addition, the Division has furnished fishery statistics to aid in the 

 formulation of fishery codes. Technical, marketing, and statistical 

 information and reports were also furnished to nearly all of the 

 emergency organizations of the Federal Government established 

 during 1933 to promote economic recovery. 



Part 1. OPERATIONS OF THE DIVISION 



STATISTICAL INVESTIGATIONS 



The statistical investigations include the collection of primary 

 fishery statistical data, compilation and analyses of these data, and 

 dissemination of statistical reports. However, the funds and per- 

 sonnel available for this work have never been sufficient for extensive 

 analytical work and curtailment of these items in recent years have
