DEPT. ISSUESPAMPHLET
 ON BLUE FOX
BECOMES IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IN TERRITORY, EXTRACT
 ANNOUNCES

Raising true foxes for their pelts is becoming an important enterprise on theisfands along the coast of AL aska, according to recent bulletin of the Biological Survey,United States Department of Agriculture, entitled "BIue-Fox Farming in Alaska. So rapidly has the industry grown that practically all suitable islands con- troIIed by the department have aI- ready been leased for this purpose. BIue-fox farming is practiced on out lying islands of little or no value for agriculture. The foxes are allowed to roam over an entire island, where they choose their mates and make dens. The animals are, in most in- stances, fed at regular intervals by the ranchers
 Attempts to raise blue foxes in pens in Alaska have met with some success. It is asserted by a number of ranchers and raw-fur buyers, hoW- ever, that the pefts of blue foxes thus raised lack the quality. and finish of those produced under wild conditions.
 A long, cold winter with a fair amount of rainfaII,~ particularly in the Spring, is conducive to the pro- ducton of good peIts acording to the bulletin. An island chosen for fox ranch should have a harbor for a boat to permit communication with the mainland or other islands. Since fish is the chief article of food in the diet of the blue fox, proximity to a cannery is of decided advantage, as the waste material makes excellent food for the foxes. The presence of fresh-water springs, streams or ponds on the island ranch is also important.
 SeIective breeding of the animals is recommended by the authors of the bulletin as means of improving the market value of the pelts.
 A short description is given con- cerning the development of White fox farming in northern Alaska That the white fox will play an i'm portant part in fox farming is ndi- cated by the fact that of e2 permits issued in 1925 by the department for the capture of Alaskan fur bearers for propagation, thirty three were for taking white foxes.

Belief in Fair PLAY

That the average person is disposed to be fair and
honest in business or otherwise, is well known as
to be taken for granted. Were it not So the world
would be "A much harder place to get along in than
it is. The inclination to do the right thing is the
foundation upon which modern business is built and
the chief assurance by which it operates.
An unusual opportunity to discover the approx
mate percentage of those who are willing to abide
by the rules Of fair play was afforedby the effort
of the federal trade commission to induce furniture
manufacturers to conform to certain trade practice
rules directed against misrepresentation of goods Of
fered for sale. In ALL 100 concerns were heard
fron, Of which only GO. less than per cent, re-
fused to subscribe to the rules. Only per of
the furniture manufacturers who responded were
willing to leave the way open for the palming off of
inferior goods upon inexperienced buyers
This dscloses an astonishngly high percentage OF
believers in fair play. The same high percentage
would, without doubt, be found in all other lines
as well.
Any belief to the contrary is the result of lack of
observation, lack of understanding or an unwilling

standard Of honesty which it maintains
