New York City 'CANNED SALMON COMPETITION IS INCREASING NOW California, Maine, Japan Products Are Coming on Markets Alaska’s canned salmon will meet increasing competition from Cali- fornia prodiced canned fish this vear, a report from the advertising committee office of the Canned Sal- mon Industry says The report indicates that pro- duction of canned mackerel, canned tuna, and canned sardines in Cali- this year is running well of last season’s production. California canned sardine pack is reported by the State Fish and Game Commission to amount to 3,135,000 cases for the season just closed. This is a g f 22 per cent over the previous season Production of canned tuna in Cal- fcrnia during the first quarter of this year amounted to 490,000 cases of 48 half pound cans. This com- pares with 425000 cases for the ame period last year. During the first three months of 1940, the canned mackerel pack came to 345,000 cases as against only 146,000 cases for the same period a year ago. This is a gain of 136 per cent over last year for this quar- e The report points out that these fish all compete vigorously with Al- aska canned salmon. Tuna supplies and prices have a strong influence on the sales of red salmon, while mackerel and sardines compete with pink and chum salmon. In many markets of the south in particular, mackerel has been re- placing the more expensive chum salmon as a food for low income familie For the year 1939, the total Cal- ifornia production of these three varieties of sea food amounted to 7358,600 =es, an increase of ap- proximately one and a half million cases over 1938, With early production exceeding last year, it appears that the com- petition to Alaska salmon in retail stores throughout the country will be even greater when the 1940 Al- aska salmon pack reaches the retail stores, the report points out In addition to heavy production in | California, canned salmon must also | compete with imports of canned tuna and crab meat from Japan and Maine production of canned sardines in securing consumer attention on retailer’s sea food shelves, the re- port says While war in Europe has appar- ently eliminated imports of canned sardines from Norway, this item has been a more expensive specialty and its elimination from the U. S. mar- ket is not expected to have any | effect on salmon consumption HOME FOR SUMMER Adrienne Glass, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. R.
