0F INTEREST TO FOX FARMERS

charge of their foxes, in fact, many do not go into their ranches from January to June.
 We have found that We cannot discuss breeding problems with such, although we are glad to give direct answers regarding breeding problems and to discuss in de:ali other phases of the silver fox in- dustry with which they are cosni- zant. On the other hand, we fnG that we can discuss breeding prob lems very intelligently with their feeders.
 Fourth Hand Information
 Nothing could be calculated :c do more mischief to the fox industry or be more unreliable than the second, third and fourth hand iii formation that is being pe6G!ed freely throughout the silver fox industry; and we believe it {s our duty to say that when any class of persons set themselves up as au- thorities to discuss the pros and cons regarding breeding problems, who have not had an extende.l cX- perience in the direct care aud management of foxes during ta" breeding season, such should only be designated as mere ignoramuses in that respect, no matter what title they may be parading under.
 In our experimental work it <; absolutely necessary, in order to make any progress, that every fac tor that contributes to reproduction should be studied individually as far as possible. Any conclusions that we may arrive at have not been based upon single exreri- ment, but have been in accord with all the evidence obtained in our experimental work, all of which is duly recorded; also the results are reviewed in the light of the results that are being obtained in the in vestigations regarding reproductions with other animals.
 It would probably be advisable to review some of the information that we have already givel out. In the previous article. we stated that the most satisfactory results had teen obtained in the Experimental Fox Ranch with females .rat had marked reduction in weight er- ing the summer and had gained fly per cent in weight rom the beginning of September tJ the ehd of December; and the live weight curves of different females was given in order that the fox breed CTS would be in position to judge for themselves.
 | With regard to the reduction in weight during the summer, it would be fatal if the foxes were 10 show any signs of cancellation and from a practical standpoint our ad vice would be: Don't have your foxes too fat during the summer"

 Chief Forecast-r Carries l.. Nit chell of the Unit, d States Weather Bureau, explain that the hltri- canes are confined to the period when condition. exist which pro duce tropical cyclones
 The tropical cyclone period runs from June to November, but thsr. are few in June, July or Novem Der The really destructive hurri- canes, according to Forecaster Mitchell, have most often occur red in August. although those which cause great loss of life and property in the West Indies and Florida in 1926 and 1928 boomed in September.
 Majority in Autumn
 The largest number has been recorded in September and Octo- ber," Mitchell said. But most of them are rather weak. Nine out of ten of the August cyclones became real. honest-to-goodness hurricanes. September is not really the big hurricane month.
 The heat and humidity required for hurricanes are present in the hurricane breeding area only dur ing he tropical storm period. Such conditions exist at or near the equator all the year around. but Mitchell explained that there never are any hurricanes at the equator. because, the defective force of the earth-which is anoth- CT hurricane essental--is abso- lutely zero at the equator.
 Turned Fly Earths Motion
 "All the southeastern hurricanes originate in the doldrums, which run from the coast of South Am erica to the Cape Verde Islands. Mitchell said "The defective force of the earth's rotation tends to turn every moving body to the right, so that wind which starts north tends to the east Inter change of afr from the trade winds tends to establish the rotation which makes cyclones
 The so-called doldrums form belt of calms ranging from near the equator to a line of about 10 de grees north latitude
 When peculiar atmospheric condi- tions give birth to storm, the whirling disturbance begins to draw in warm, moist air from near the surface of the sea. The air pres sure begins to fall. and both the rotary and forward motions of the storm are accentuated. An inrushing air reaches the center of the disturbance. it moves upward, and cirrus formations reaching perhaps hundreds of miles are formed.
 Rages Over Sea
 
 Soon the incipient hurricane be comes full grown. It drives north i ward. Rain falls in torrents. The wind attains almost incalcuable de structive force
 Once the hurricane moves inland it begins to dissipate. A big body of water and an immense reservoir of warm air are the only things that will keep it growing. Over land. these factors are lacking. Weather authorities regard pure lv as coincidence the fact that the | worst storms come near the time 1 of the autumnal equinox. Atmos pheric conditions peculiar to Sep 1 tember, not the equalization of day and night, is the real explanation of | the September hurricane. kan Chronicle.

Fox breeders are repeatedly Suo- mitting the weights of their foxes during December, asking us if these are the proper weights for good breeding results. On this point we think the fox breeder should be in position to jndge for himself. Ii general practice were made of weighing foxes dur ing December and keeping due record of same. then the fox breed CT could readily establish for him self the normal weight for repro duction of each particular fox in his ranch. If the foxes should be above that weight in any future season there is no cause for alarm. On the other hand if it should be found that the foxes are two to three poouds higher, then in our opinion. he has very serious con- ditfon to contend with.
 Favorable Gain in Weight With regard to the favoable gain in weight during the fall, we have stated elsewhere: Tt was found in all cases with adult foxes that the most desirable results were obtain ed with the foxes when fed daily rations which were only slightly in excess of the minimum amount required to maintain the body weight The foxes were then more active and alert. their health and condition was more satisfactory. the gain in weight was quite as great as when the foxes were fed larger amounts and they maintain ed their body weight throughout the winter quite as well.''
 The only addition we would make to the above is that later ex periments show that foxes on a ration of five to ten per cent above maintenance ration gain greater amount in the fall than foxes fed larger amounts and they maintain their body weight more satisfactor- fly throughout the winter: and we wish to emphasize the fact that a favorable gain in weight during the
 fall cannot be accomplished by feed ing large amounts
 High Cereal Diet

 work indicate very conclusively that the size of the litter and the breed ing results as whole are deter

ON PAY RAISES

Senator William H King of Utah
win renew his fight against the
SIC, 900 salary increase bill for the
District Commissioners today.
In making this announcement,
Senator King indicated his belief
that the Senate District Committee
would not report the measure fav-
orably, despite the number of local
trade organiza tions which are
marshalled in favor of it.
1t is probable also that Senator
King will oppose the projected pay
increases for local policemen and
firemen when the Zihlman bill
comes to the Senate. in the event
it is passed by the House. He
has not had time to look into
this question, however.
In addition to holding a hearing
on the Copeland diploma mill
measure, the Senate District Com
mittee this afternoon possibly may
take up the question of making a
favorable report on the nomination
of Theodore Cogswell for register
of Wills Senator King probably
will oppose this nomination, but
all the other members of the COM
mittee are understood to favor it..

Mr.. Ham admitted that repre-

and he claims would mean saving
of 5000, 900 year for the merged

ChrysIer Price Cut Holds

In United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The
twenty eighth annual automobile
show turned its attention to avia-

Bert Acosta. Art Goebel and
Clarence Chamberlain, tranS-oceanic
flierS; c. w. Bellanca, airplane de-
signcr. and Capt. Edward V. Rick

among the fliers honored.
Meanwhile, dealers speculated on
the outcome Of the announcement
Of the Chrysler Corporation that
newer and lower prices we're forth
coming on its cars.
That the cut is another parry in
the price-cutting war was expressed,
but it was evident that further sta
-bilization in favor of the buyer was
assured.
The monotony of the array Of
dazzling colors and bright colored
accessories was broken somewhat by
dealers who displayed their wares in
motion, and many in the parts sec
ton were showing novelties hereto
fore kept in the background.
