QUANTITIES FROZEN IN 1922, BY GEOGRAPHICAL SECTIONS. 



The distribution of the fish-freezing business amon^ the several 

 geographical sections of the country by months and by species is 

 shown in the following tables. Eighty per cent of all freezing was 

 in the New England. Middle At- 

 lantic, and North Pacific Coast 

 States. (The Great Lakes fish fro- 

 zen in New York and Pennsylvania 

 are included in the Middle Atlan- 

 tic section.) The percentages of 

 the total amount frozen for the dif- 

 ferent sections are: New England 

 States, 24.67 per cent; Middle At- 

 lantic. 27.12 per cent; South Atlan- 

 tic, 0.34 per cent; North Central, 

 East, 10.88 per cent; North Central 

 West, 5.11 per cent; South Cen- 

 tral, 0.88 per cent; Western, North, 

 "27.94 per cent; Western, South, 

 3.04 per cent. The smallest amount 

 frozen in any one month was 1,980,- 

 435 pounds, or 1.32 per cent of 

 the total, in April; the largest 

 amount frozen in any one month was 16,830,080 pounds, or 22.30 per
