Ir. Tex Ellington, Fleet

Manager for Van Camp Cor poration at Pago Pago, before parting from E. Samoa, in March, a business visit to Honolulu, gave ne further details of tuna fish r, operations. 3e said that the cannery had m working at maximum capacity ten tons per day since initial )blems had been overcome, ough the fish taken at present 5 smaller than those at first ight, there is a high percentage the valuable albacore, which srages less than 25 lbs in weight t is the most sought-after variety tuna. dr. Ellington said that the best aing has proved to be at night, ien the surface water is cooler d the fish come up to feed. He ticipates that as the cooler season proaches, greater quantities of la will be taken in the day time.

It is assumed that if the com pany’s operations continue to thrive in Samoa, use will also be made of the by-products—tuna liver oil, tuna meal, and possibly also liquid fertiliser, as is the case with Ameri can canneries.
