TO INVESTIGATE
CANNERY WASTE1
_ I
J. \V, Turrentine, Ph. D. nr-1
rived in town last night from
Kunter Bay and Kodiak. He is
connected with the Bureau ol
Soils as a Special Investigator
of the fertilizer resources ol
tlie country, lie has been a'
far to the Westward as Kodiak
investigating the possibilities
of making fertilizer from th-*
waste of the canneries. Th?y
i ave worked out a plan to mix
the fertilizer from this soured
with kelp, which will furnish
the other ingrediants needed
<o make it the most powerful
fertilizer in the world. He is
interesting the cannery men o.’
the district in the scheme. A
cannery putting up a pack of
50,000 cases a -season will have
700 tons of waste which .s
worth 15 dollars a ton when
irr.de into straight fertilize.*.
After this i- mixed with kelp
i‘. is worth considerable mom
Besides each ton of waste will
yield about 25 gallons of fish
Gil which is worth about 0<*
cents a gallon. Each eannerv
would have to put in its own
plant which can be so installed
as to make the fertilizer with
out being handled except when
sacked and ready to ship. At
the present time the plant will
cost about 15.000 dollars to in
stall but they are working on a
plan to make them smaller and
cheaper. It takes three men to j
operate the plant. The plant'
or. the Atlantic Coast are mak j
ing this fertilizer from the!
Manahaden fish and can not
begin to supply the demand. H
is shipped to Japan and Hawaii j
and is in big demand among J
Hie Orange growers. The At-j
Alantic Coa^t made 70.000 tons:
ol this fertilizer last year and
the United States was obliged1
to import 250,000 tons l.nore.
After the Panama canal is com
pleted the Alaska canneries v'di
be in a position to supply the j
demand all over the country. ,
Which from experience on the
Atlantic Coast has proven a’
very profitable one.
