what about
the other
months
of the
Year?
Alaska’s salmon canneries are mighty busy canning for about
\ a month every year. But they stand idle and unused for the rest
of the year—except for pre-season and post-season work.
No one likes this situation. Certainly we of the Alaska salmon
industry would prefer to see these canneries humming with
activity 5 2 weeks a year.
Nature dictates that the salmon canning business be seasonal.
The fish must be caught and processed at certain, short intervals of
the year. Right now, for example, activity is concentrated in the
Copper River and Cook Inlet Districts.
Alaska can’t grow very much and prosper until more, diver
sified industry comes to the Territory. The salmon industry—
historically Alaska’s largest and its heaviest taxpayer—would like
very much to see these new industries in the Territory.
We, too, are concerned over those idle months.
