EskimOs Succeed
In Fox Farming

Nome. Alaska, Aug. 21.-(A. P. by
MaiD-Frank DuFresne. in charge of
the Seward Peninsula for the United
State Biological Survey, reports that
Eskimos are taking full part in de-
veloping the farming Of foxes and the
marketing of their pelts into a boun-
teous Alaska industry.
The south side of the peninsula is on
Boring Sea and the north on the Arc
tic Ocean. On the north coast line
white men destroyed the Eskimo live
lihood by annihilating the whales and
burning the drlftwood.
The Eskimos have taken to white
foxes. and some families are making
income of $4,000 annually. From
catching wild foxes and selling the
furs. the natives have gone on to de-
veloping simple ranches.
The women do most of the work
it's the aboriginal way-but DuFresne
pointed out. families threatened with
cxtincinon are beginning to thrive
though father sits around the cabin
that has replaced the igloo.

GETTING At THE FACTS

The statement Of Rear Admiral
Moffett, chief Of the bureau OF aero
nautics, replying to the charges Oh
Colonel Mitchell does not lack for
emphasis and the nature Of it IS such
that Colonel Mitchell may recognize
the fact that he is not alone IN 'apii-
ity to make vigorous charges.
The tenor of both these statements
is not such as to afford any assur-
ance that dependence on these alone
will help the public to arrive at all
the facts. presented in the light Oh
due proportion and for dispassionate
consideration. Rather they accentuate
the wisdom Of the decision to have
a comprehensive inquiry into the
subject of aviation.
The President has appointed a
board, the personnel of which is as
surance of a sanely and fairly con-
Quoted inquiry, the results OF which
are to be made public prior to the
assembling of Congress. The wisdom
of this step we think will be gen
orally appreciated. Whether or NOT
we attach much of weight to Colonel
Mitchelrs apparently exaggerated
statements we may be sure that the
air controversy that has been gong
on is to be intensified and embittered'
That being so, it is fitting that the
public shall know what the contro-
versy is about and will help, we
trust, to restrict the disputants With
in the limits of fact.

SaSadahoc county fair officials at
Topsham in order to further encour-
age the boys in agricultural mat
tiers the association have offered a
prize Of $50 to the boys in club work
in a stock judging contest. This
contest is open to club boys within
the limits Of the society including
the towns Of Durham and Webster
in Androscoggin county. 1t is the
plan of County Agent Eastman and
Club Project Leader H. A. Bowie, to
assist the boys in learning to Judge
dairy animals. The first trial con-
test will be at the farm of E. c.
Patten at Topsham who has a
Guernsey herd. The purse has
been divided into a lot Of prizes so
that a good number of boys can par
ticipate and get in on the money.
Mr.. Eastman is anxious to get lot
of names of boys who will enter the
judging contest and arrange for the
trial contests. The county agent
says such generous offer by the fair
officials deserves a big response by
the boys tf the counties eligible.
Bangor fair is the only fair in the
State to have such a contest and
that is by the University of Maine.
Mr.. Patten has fine herd of Guern-
seys and is judge Of dairy cattle OF
considerable experience and will give
the boys much assistance in learning
to Judge.

SOME OF THE CROP ESTIMATES

There have been many comments
respecting cold weather and dry
weather in parts of the country but
the crop estimates indicate that this
has not been such bad year after all.
The commercial apple crop Of the
country is estimated to be six per
cent. above that Of last year, though
probably there will be a small reduc-
ton in the New England crop. The
Mcintosh apples in New England are
abundant and of good quality.
Massachusetts reports the cranberry
crop 80 per cent. above that of last
year. pears throughout New England
are Letter than last year and the crop
of grapes has been generally good.
The country over the potato crop
as estimated by the crop reporting
service will be "a per cent. less than
last years big production and IS per
cent. below the average for the past
five years. With regard to Maine the
New England Service reports:
Current reports from inspection
onclais snow considerably more dis
ease damage than last year; more in
sect damage in most places; fewer
ana smaller tubers per HILL and that
higher standards on top of these ad-
verse conditions result in a far small
er acreage passing final field inspec-
ton than last year. Maine expects
only half as much, but the decreas Sc
elsewhere will not be so great. Yields
per acre will everywhere be much less
than last year and this means roughly
half as much as many likely to be
eligible for certification as last year.,

USING MORE COTTON
AND SILK

The exports of raw cotton from
this country jumped nearly two ana
a half million bales for the year end
ing June 80 over the exports for the
previous year. While the demand
from England, France and Germany
was less than the pre-war demand
from those countries Japan called for
over three times it's pre-war demand
the Netherlands six times, and the
exports to italy were so per cent
higher, those to Belgium 33 per cent
higher than pre-war. During the
past five years Europe has taken
around "a per cent of our cotton ex-
ports, where before the war it used
95 per cent.
Some of the further facts brought
out by the Department of Commerce
are:
1.-THE average United States pro-
duction during the past five years
declined by IA per cent, and the ex-
ports declined by 81 per cent and the
yield per acre declined by 20 per cent
from the pre-war level, while con-
sumption increased II per cent and
the price increased 81 per cent above
the pre-war basis. In 1924-25 the
yield per acre and the exports were
likewise below the pre-war level but
production registered an increase OF
z per cent. The consumption and
price were also abve the pre-war
level by "a and 70 per cent, respec-
lively. The percentage of the crop
exported in 1924-25 amounted to co
per cent and in the past five years
81 per cent compared with 81 per
cent during the pre-war period. In
1924-25 the United States consumed
40 per cent of its own crop and In
the past five years so Per cent, while
before the war only 81 per cent of
the crop was consumed. 1t may be
observed in this connection that
while the cotton consumption during
this period increased, there took
place at the same time tremendous
increase in the use of silk and rayon
in the manufacture of the finer
fabrics for wearing apparel. The es-
timated consumption Of rayon, for
example, jumped frmo 1871, 00C
pounds in 1913 to about $1,000, 600
punds in 1924 while the imports OF
raw silk increased from $4,000, 00o
pounds in 1913 to 51,O00,00O pounds
in 1924"

Holland May Reclaim
Section of Zuider Zee

Amsterdam, Aug. Ala. P. by
MaiD-Holland has under considera-
ton project for draining part of the
Iuider Zee, the only available way
In which the country can add more
territory for its increasing population.
Within the last 200 years the coun-
trys area has been extended by re-
clamation projects from 5000 to 10000
square miles.
Zuider Zee has an area of approxi-
mately 100000 acres, and while it is
not intended to reclaim all of this. it
is said that about 100000 acres could
be drained and thus add that much
of very fertile land to the country's
area.
The damming of Zuider Zee, quite
apart from its drainage would result
In great benefit to the adjacent pro-
vinces. as the frequently occurring
floods which cause enormous damage
would be a thing of the past. The
estimated value of the land that
would be reclaimed is S2o4, o,e0o.
