season is nevertheless disappointing news, With the
Skeene catch less than half of what it was last year,
and only a fifth of what it was for the comparable
seusol four years ago, northern fishermen have been
dealt a tough blow that will be felt to some extent by
the rest of the population,

While the northern coastal economy has been

stabilized by the recent inclusion of other industries,

fishing and the many other occupations that go with
it are still the means of livelihood for the targest
single section of our people, The salmon run is re-
warded here with the same close interest, and often
anxiety, as the wheat crop is on the prairies,

It would appear, however, that fish are more
unpredictable than grain, perhaps because until re-
cently they have been exposed to less scientific re-
seareh, By Improving methods of irrigation, fer-
tilizing, soil conservation, pest control and cross-
planting, the experts have made farming on the prair-
les a far less uncertain career than it was several
years ago, Now they are even attacking the ele-
inents themselves with experiments in rain-making,

In fishing, too, science has made considerable
headway. There is little more to be known about the
private life of a salmon once he is headed for the
spawning grounds, and the fisheries department has
done outstanding work in clearing the way for him
aud in providing protection against depletion of
numbers, In addition, the fishermen themselves
have the use of equipment which has simplified their
work,

But until the time that the salmon return” to
these shores, their movements and habits remain
largely a mystery, Little is known of the influence
at sea that affeet them, or of whether there is any-
thing that can be done to help the industry should
their secrets be discovered,

or this reason, particular interest attaches it-
self to the international scientific expedition now em-
barking on a wide tour of the north Pacific to deal
With the problem, Maybe there are years ahead yet
before the puzzle of the salmon and of other species,
for that matter—is entirely solved, But the work
must be pressed as diligently as possible, for the in-
dustry cannot function at its best or retain its per-
sonnel until the element of guesswork is reduced to
minimum,
