PACIFIC SALMON FISHERIES. PALES} 
In Oregon @ it has been found that the extremely young fry thrived 
on a mixture of ground dried salmon and mush (composed of mid- 
dlings and other wheat products). Milk curds from near-by cream- 
eries also proved satisfactory. The older fish are fed on ground 
smelt, lampreys, spent salmon, both dried and salted, and offal from 
the canneries, some loose and some packed in 1-gallon cans. An 
excellent food is broken-up ice-cream cones. This latter food also has 
the advantage of not sinking to the bottom and thus polluting the 
water: and because it floats at the surface the surplus can be lifted 
out with a dip net. 
SALMON SOLD AFTER STRIPPING. 
For many years it was the custom after the eggs had been stripped 
from the salmon to either give the carcasses to the Indians or to a 
them. In 1917, under stress of the great demand for fish caused by 
the war, L. H. Darwin, fish and game commissioner of Washington, 
after an analysis by chemists had shown that the flesh was whole- 
some food, offered for sale, at a low rate, these spawned-out fish. 
The offer was accepted by several of the cities of the State, some of 
which established municipal markets at which these salmon, as well 
as other food products, were offered for sale at prices ruling lower 
than those in the commercial markets. It is probable that the 
economic utilization of these salmon will be permanent, and will 
prove a source of considerable profit to the States which sell them.
