TWENTY-NINTH BIENNIAL REPORT. 



123 



It is useless to comment on this table as a close study of it will show 

 that the canneries located at each of the canning centers have produced 

 over the requirements of General Order No. 1 of 15 cases of one-pound 

 oval cans or equivalent number of cases of other size cans from each 

 ton of fish received. 



The meal ratio is based on the number of tons of offal and whole fish 

 required to produce one ton of meal. 



There seems to be considerable difference in the amount of meal and 

 oil produced from a ton of fish and offal in various plants as will be 

 shown in the following table of operations of each plant. There is 

 also shown in this table the number of cases of one-pound oval cans or 

 the equivalent thereof produced from each ton of fish received.
