SUPPLIES OF SARDINES
TORRES STRAITS SHOALS "RICHES FLOWING TO WASTE" There are no men in Sydney who manifest enthusiasm when mention is made of the possibility of Australia supplying its own sardines. One of the first citizens to speak of the riches flowing past in shoals of sardines, pilchards and other fish that might be canned was the late Mr. Frank Farriell, for many years a member of the legislative Assembly. His voice was heard in "old colonial days" with that of the late Sir Joseph Carruthers, an enthusiastio angler. Both saw a commercial opportunity that the community was disregarding, and they regretted that the wealth should pass without being levied on.
Mr. David Stead • next attempted to stir the public, and he is still striving, says a correspondent. Ho has written much of sardines and pilchards. It is argued by others that it is not necessary to go to Torres Straits to gather sardines or their equivalent in larga drafts, seeing that in certain seasons they are I 'off the coast of New South. Wales.
