BLUE-FOX FARMING IN ALASKA

ring clipped being near the tip of the tail. Records should be kept Of animals pelted and Of those re leased for breeding. Wherever prac- ticable more females should be left than males.
 PRINIENESS
 PeltS of foxes usually become prime in November or December, depending upon the weather, eli mate and feeding. PrimeneSS is the highest perfection of quality in a pelt. When the pelt shows high quality and finish, determined by it's texture and sheen, it Is said to be prime.
 Ability to judge prineneSS comes only through experience, When the fur is coming prime it does So rap idly, and after it reaches the peak Of perfection it soon becomes over prime, losing it's sheen and finish.
 When foxes are running wild this point can not be watched so closely as when they are raised in pens.
 KILLING
 Tn killing, the method generally pursued is for the caretaker to catch the fox with tongs, lay it on it's side, and then press his foot on it's chest. Striking the fox on the back Of the head with a club leaves a blood clot on the pelt and some times cuts 1t.
 A more humane and satisfactory method of killing is by the injection of a solution of strychnine sulfate. Objection has been made to this on the sup2osltion that strychnine may injure the pelt by causing the hair to fall out. This, however, is not the case. The effect, If any, of strychnine on the hair follicles is contracting rather than relaxing.
 The operation of injecting strych- nine is very simple. The Strument used is a small hypodernlic barrel syringe with a reasonably long nee dle, and quantity of three per cent solution of strychnine sulfate. The syringe is filled with the solu- ton and the gauge set for one cubic centin1eter. The fox is placed on it's right side and held by an at tendant. The operator places his hand on the chest to locate the heart, at the same time feeling for a space between the ribs to avoid running the needle into the bone. The needle is inserted in the direc- ton of the heart and the dose dis charged In less than minute the fox dies without a struggle. Great care should be exercised in using strychnine as it is a deadly poison.

Seward daily gateway., 1931-12-24
TRANSPORTATION

Foxes in good condition can be shipped almost any distance; but if the journey is long, as is gen. erally the case in Alaska, or the shipment large, it is we'll to have an attendant go along to feed and care for the animals. Foxes can go without feed for two or three days with no apparent ill effects. Tn transit they have a tendency to lose their capacities, and should be fed carefully, although fresh water should always be supplied. Small pieces of meat, preferably liver or beef, and fox biscuit may be given.
 It is not advisable to place more than one fox in compartment of a shipping crate. A crate two feet high containing two compartments and having a total floor space of approximately two by three and a half feet is large enough to carry q pair of foxes. It should be made of wood, and wire of one-inch mesh should be nailed inside to prevent the foxes from chewing the wood. In the front of each compartment dishes for feed and water should be fastened where they can be filled from the outside A good Substan- tial crate receives better treatment in transit than a poor one
 PELTING
 The business of fox raising is based on pelt value, and the most successful fox ranchers market some pelts every year. This, of course, can not be done on islands where the business has just start ed In such cases it will be neces- sary to wait two or three years for the stock to increase.
 It Is not good practice to pelt pups, as their skins lack finish both in the fur and in the leather. Oc- CdSAOlId1Ay c pup ScAAlL VI CANC1uAOA414 development sells for good price, but this Is not the rule. It Is bet ter for the rancher to carry the young over until they are at least a year and a half old and the belt has developed into a more market able skin. Foxes not desirable for breeders, however, should be pelt- ed at the first opportunity.
 When animals are caught for ex- animation and pelting, those not killed should be marked in order to show that they have been trap ped and then released for breed ing. Males can be marked by clip ping ring of fur around the tail near the body. Females can be marked in the same manner, the

! STRATEGY
IN MOVE
Governor Hastens Action,
! Says Report, to Keep Step
I With President Politically

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 81
u.N.S0 Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
welt today announced he would
ask the forthcoming special ses-
sion of the Legislature to enact
measures looking toward the re-
lief of the unemployed during
the coming winter months.
Previously the Governor had
indicated the only proposal he
would recommend to the special
session, called for August 25,
would be that Of broadening the
power of the Hofstadter commit
tee to permit it to grant i'm
munity to witnesses called in its
investigation of New York city.
Strategy Seen
Reports were current at tine
Capitol that Governor Roosevelt
hastened his decision to include
the unemployment proposal be-
cause Of the fact that President
Hoover had just announced crea-
tiOn Of q commission, headed by
Walter s. Clifford, to grapple
with unemployment problems
throughout the nation.
Should Governor Roosevelt be-
come the Democratic candidate
for President next year. 1t was
pointed out, he would be in a
position to say he had acted In
an effort to aid unemployed at
the same time as President
Hoover.
said:
"T have decided to recon-
mend to the legislature at the
extraordinary session certain
definite and necessary meas
ures for the relief of distress
and the alienation Of unem-
plOyment."
3 Labor Plans
Recently the State Federation
of labor filed with the Governor
a draft of three measures wnlcn
organized labor urged should oe
enacted at the forthcoming ses-
sion. They were:
Have the State create q spe-
cial emergency unemployment
commission with power to pro-
vide State work for I'll adult
unemployed citizens during the
coming winter months: this
work not to be less than two
DAYS a week at S5 q day.
Have the State declare In
favor of a five.day working
week on all State projects.
Repeal that section Of the
State labor law which exempts
highway contractors outside
cities and villages from the pro-
vision of the eight-hOur day and
prevailing rate Of wage law.
At the same time it was learned
that Governor Roosevelt was serl-
ously considering how he could
word his message to the special
session SO as to pave the way for
Tamnany legislators to level their
guns at alleged corruption and
graft in upstate Republican cities
and counties.

HOOVER ORDERS
MEASURES To /.
AVOID DOLE
Naming Of Walter S. Clifford
to Head Jobess Relief ls
Challenge to U. S. Industry
By WILLIAM 6. MURPHY, Jr.

President Hoover has put it IN
to the nations great captains OF
industry and finance to Straighten
out the tangled economic situa.s
ton through private endeavor or.
face the alternative of govern.
mental intervention on a larse
scale.
This was seen here today ~
the real significance Of ME-
HOOver's selection of Walter g.
Clifford. president of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph
Company, as directOr.general Of
unemployment relief during the.
coming winter. Z.
At the Presidents Rapidans
camp, the coming weekend, he
and Mr.. Clifford will discuss
ways and means of providing re-
lief, stimulated by a realization
that unless some substantial pros
gram is forthcoming. the move,
ment for direct Federal aid iS
likely to burst all bounds in Con-
greSs as the volume Of hunger
and suffering increases with the
advent of winter.
Dole Seen Threat
Business leaders fear Federal
aid as an opening wedge to the
much-diScuSSed dole resorted to-
by foreign countries. Now the
President has called upon one
of the biggest leaders OF big
business to devise methods where.
by Federal aid may be rendered
unnecessary. 3
The President opposes Fed!
eral appropriations to feed and
shelter the victims of the present
con m | C maladjuStment, but
some of those who have enjoyed
his confidence recently are of the
opinion that he is beginning to-
doubt whether such measures can
be avoided.
Credit Still Good -
Notwithstanding the Treasury
deficit, recent oversubScriptions OF
Government security issues have
demonstrated that Government
credit is still unimpaired and
that there would be no difficulty
in floating huge bond issue to
provide relief and to stimulats
public works.
While the responsibility for de,
yising a method of meeting the
situation will fall primarily upon
Mr.. Clifford, the challenge to the
nations economic leaders is ac-
centuated by the personnel Of the
nation wide advisory COMMITTEES
named to assist the new director
general of unemployment.
Recruit Best Brains
Some of the best brains OF
American industry and finance
are represented on that commit"
tee. If it fails to solve the prob
lem, the advocates Of direct Fed"

argue that there is nothing else
left but to accept their proposals.
