TO SUPERVISE PACKING
OF FISHERY PRODUCTS:
The Department of Marine and
Fisheries is drafting an act which,
will provide for rigid government in
spection of cured fish from the stand
point of pure food. At the present
time there is an act which provides
for the inspection of the factories
where fish is cured, but the sanitary
aspect of the matter is entirely neg
lected. To encourage the packers to
give more attention to the manner in
which they place the products of their
factories upon the market, the gov
ernment is likely to give small bon
uses, the amounts to be determined
by the quality of the fish and the
manner, in wtiich it is put up. .The
new' measure, certain details of which
have.yet .to.be worked1, out,"is large
ly based upon an act which?has been*
in force in Scotland for several years"
past with ' excellent results. It will
likely go into effect in 'tiipe for the
next season's catch.—Pacific Fisher

Many a fellow who baa been try
