 District Forester Flory says tat while he is named in the SeCretary's s instructions as the person who is authorized to receive applications for fur farm permits for areas with in National Forestr. he has dele gated this authority, as well as the authority 10 issue permits, to For est Supervisor c. T. Gardner, Ket- chikan. Alaska, for all areas with in the Tongass National forest, and to Forest Supervisor w. J. McDoR- aid, CordOva, Alaska, for areas with in the Chugach National Forest. He requests, therefore, that correspon- dence regarding the obtaining Of leases for fur farms within Nation al Forests be addressed to one of these men.
 The lands under the jurisdiction of the Biological Survey referred to in Paragraph 2 irclude the Aleu- tian Island Reservation and ten oth- CT islands. All bat one, Choweit Island, in western Alaska, are al ready under lease. Other islands along the Alaska coast, other than the above and those within National Forests, cannot be leased under the Secretary of Agricultures regula- tions.
 District Forester Flory also stat ed that up to December 31, twenty five fur farm permits were in eff feet on the ChugaSh National For est and seveuty-fve on the Tongass National Forest. A great many ap- plCations are being received for ad- ditional islands, evidently many more than can be vaken care of. If this demand for f.r farms Contin- ues. it will mean that the require. ment for actual utilization of all leased areas must be strictly enforc- ed, and permits for islands not ac- tually used cancelled so that others may be given an opportunity to oc- cupy them.
