'Mr. Wood : Oh, no ; forty or 50 cans ; or one hundred, if 

 necessary. 



Mr. Clark: And you would use those for forty or fifty or 

 one hundred? 



Mr. Wood: Certainly. 



Mr. Clark: And the object is to save time in tiie morning? 



Mr. Wood: Yes, sir. 



Mt. Clark: Mr. President, I want to state here that we 

 loaded from our fish hatchery, since the ist of July, 100 cans in 

 45 minutes, taking the fingerlings from the tank where they were 

 held, and they were weighed up accurately; cans filled with water 

 and fish put in them in 45 minutes. 



Mr. Wood: How much help do you have? 



Mr. Clark: Six men. 



Mr. Wood : We have no men ; I can do it r^yself . I would 

 like to ask Mr. Clark how many yearlings he p'lts in a can? 



Mr. Clark: Do you mean fish that are act-ially a year old? 



Mr. Wood: Oh, no. 



Mr. Clark: We don't distribute many fisl after a year old. 



Mr. Wood: Then, perhaps, you mean fii^'gerlings. WHiat 

 w^as the number of cans? 



Mr. Clark: One hundred cans in 45 minu ?s. 



Mr. Wood: Wliat month? 



Mr. Clark : This was a few weeks ago. 



Mr. Wood: How many would vow put iru a can? 



Mr. Clark: Well, I can't tell you whethev- 650 or 700. Of 

 course every time a car comes in we have to 'ount and weigh 

 again in order to get our standard. 



Mr. Wood: Wbat size fish? 



Mr. Clark: Well, two and a half to three ;ncheiv. 



Mr. Wood: Our fry will average about two inches long. I 

 usually put about 1,500 in a can, and we have found tliis a great 

 help in saving time, because we have to comit t'lem in the morn- 

 iner unless we use this.
