mum ANNUAL ,
tinny SEALS
W'ASHINGTON. Aug. 6,—The nu-
nusl census 0: the seals, now
taken by the Bureau of Fisheries is
expected to show about 600,000 of'the
animals, or three times as many as
when the Government undertook the
acustody of them a half score years
3 .
Although the seal spends much or
its life at sea, its habits make the'cen-
sus taking comparatively easy. Hugh
M, Smith, Commissioner of the Bur-
eau of Fisheries, explains the “count
of noses" is of importance to prevent
“blind killing” of the animals for
their furs, possibly resulting in their
extinction.
Under present Government control.
Mr. Smith asserts that the Seals are
increasing about ten ortWelve per
cent. of their number annus 1y. Last
year's count showed 550,000 of which
26,000 were killed for their pelts.
In the middle of Bering Sea, lying
:40 miles apart, are two islands—St.
~Genrge and Si. Paula-the only land to
which the seals ever report. Every
spring they visit the islands to raise
their young. leaving in the Tall to win-
ter the north Pacific. and it is during
the summer that the census is taken.
The killing of the animals is also
done in the summer. this under law
being confined to the surplus males.
Last year lack of labor resulted in
10.000 fewer animals being killed than
Government officials had planned.
Japan and Great Britain, along with
the lTnited States, share the revenue
produced from the seal-kill, a treaty
giving this country seventy per cent.
of the animals, with the other two
countries each receiving 15 per cent.
“In the old days.” says Mr. Smith,
“‘when 100,000 seals were being killed
annually. the Government obtained
$10 per skin, while now we are getting '
$140, which nets us about $120 per
skin. Increase in the value of furs
and the different method of conduct
.ing the business explains this."
Besides the sale of pelts, the Gov-
ernment is operating a fertilizer plant
.on the islands for disposing of the
‘cnrcnses.
