SILVER FOX FARMS PELT CROP
 28 TIMES LARGER THAN 1923

New uses for silver fox and a steady consumer demand have helped the fur trade to keep pace with the young and rapidly grow ing fox farming industry in the United States. In less than 15 years the annual crop has increased from 5000 belts in 1923 to more than 17O.O00 pelts in 1884
 This seasons pelting, which started in November and will last through the winter months. very likely will produce a crop slight ly larger than last years, accord ing to Frank c. Ashbrook. in charge of fur resources investiga- tion of the Bureau of Biological Survey, [. s. Department of Agri- culture.
 "Virtually all of last seasons pelts which brought the fox farm CTS $7114,5OO were disposed of by the fur trade before the present pelting season got under way" says MT. Ashbrook.
 More than half of the 1933-34 season skins, which were either graded as full silver or three quarters silver, were used in mak- ing short and long capes, large collars and wide trimmings on fur and cloth coats, and trimming vel vet and satin gowns. As many as 30 pelts are sometimes required in making some of the more eXpens- i've long capes. A few years ago the pelts were used primarily in making neck scarfs.
 Only in recent years has the raising of silver foxes in captivity for fur become an important Ameri- ran n Il try. It experienced a boom from 1910 to 1914 because of the heavy demand for breeding stock At the beginning of the World War the boom ended and the more serious breeders began raising foxes primarily for their fur.
 Since the year 1923 pelt produc- tion has increased steadily. The number of pelts produced and their total sales value were both about ten times as great in 1928 as they were in 1923. Sixty thousand belts produced in 1928 brought fox farm CTS S7,719,6OO as compared with $579,OOO they received for 5000 pelts in 1923. Sales values drop- ped in the three years following 1928, but from low point of $3,- 472, 1000 in 1881 they advanced to S7,0O0,O0O in 1894 During that period the annual crop increased from 10000 to 170,000 belts.
 Pelts produced in 1928 sold at an average of 128 each, the high est average price on record for the last 12 years. In 1881 the market value of belts dropped to an aver age price of $31.75 each, but lately it has ranged from $40 to S45.
 About half of the belts produced in the United States comes from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michi- gan, according to MT. Ashbrook. In general, silver foxes are being rais- ed for fur in the northern tiers of states from New England vest ward to Oregon, Indiana, Ohio,

last year that Newsom and Dizzy
Dean were hauled upon the carpet
before Judge Lands for questioning
on the little matter of receiving
bonuses" from an East st. Louis
business man for each game they
won.
Newsom had bit of bad luck
with Washington last spring when
line drive cracked his knee. Buck
was pitching against the Cleveland
Indians when the accident occurred
and went to finish the game with a
broken knee. He lost the game Sd,
and then retired to the hotel where
the extent of his injury was dis
covered.
The new" Newsom is just about
the best pitcher on the National S
staff, SO it is highly probable that
Buck will get the nod from Man
ager Harris when the Washington
crew squares off against the New
York Yankees on opening day.

WAGE REPORTS

from Three Cents to
Over Dollar

WASHINGTON, April 13-NRA
and Department of Commerce re-
search experts assembled Saturday
what they described as the most
complete picture" of A m ri a n
wages and hours ever put together.
The composite picture shows
wage rates running from less than
three cents to more than one dol
lar per hour
The special report, based on en-
pioyment between 1929 and 1885,
disclosed work weeks ranging from
as low as ten hours to more than

The report, under the direction
of Leon G. Marshall, covers 1903 in
dustries. Research in one hundred
more is now virtually complete.
Analysis of these reports in con-
nection with the results of NRA is
calculated to furnish a factual
basis for any similar legislation
proposed in the future.
Highest wage brackets were in the
automobile, electric, print roller,
chemical and printing ink trades;
lowest, that paid to pecan pickers

SPORT SLANTS

AS far as Buck Nelson is con-
cerned, this year the program is
going to be different.
The big pitching ace of the
Washington Nationals has decided
that he has wasted all the time he
can afford and starting as of today
he is bent on going places. The
South Carolina lad has popped
off" on occasions in the past but
this Spring he is working in earn
est. To indicate his good faith he
has accepted few suggestions from
Manager Bucky Harris with ex-
cellent results.
Windmill Is Out
First of all, he discarded his
fancy, windmill windup on a hint
from Harris. His So-called cross
fire he has promised to use spar
ingly, whereas in the past he trot-
ted out the old side-arm delivery
three times to every overland toss.
From now on it will be an over
hand delivery with full follow
through And with his speed and
curves that ought to take him a
long way. He has spent altogether
too much time copying other fell
lows deliveries. When he went up
with the Brooklyn Dodgrs in 1880
Buck checked in as an underhand
pitcher a la Carl Mays. Uncle
Robbie broke him of that but only
half finished his job. He made
sidearm tosser of Buck.
He made his American League
debut with the st. Louis Browns
and won 16 games while losing 20
for very weak ball club. He had
the speed, world of it, and plenty
of fast breaking curving. But, for
some reason or other, he could not
become the winning pitcher he
should be. Rogers Hornsby at one
time limited that Newsom was none
too well equipped with gray matter
Bucks m in difficulty, while
working for Hornsby, seemed to be
that he could not, or would not,
follow orders. The Rajah will find
it difficult to believe that Buck
has turned over a new leaf and is
paying strict attention to every hint
and suggestion Bucky Harris losses
in his direction. And yet that is
exactly what Newsom is doing and
intends to continue doing from
now on.
The Great Newsom
Newsom was never known to be
one to belittle his own ability. AS
a matter of fact, he is ever ready
to bend a willing listeners ear in
praise of his talents. He has long
held that he is great pitcher
And if pressed will admit that he
might develop into one of the
games leading sluggers If given
the chance to take his cut at the
ball day in and day out.
Perhaps his stay in st. Louis and
the proximity to the laxative Dizzy
Dean had something to do with
that. He did his share of pop

uniform. 1t was just about this time

MFR. Engstrom has ruled the motion
lost and the old Republican char
lot mires down for another siege.
f. A. j. Gallwas of Douglas says
it lock" to him as if the minority
wants the convention handed over
to you on silver platter" There are
several replies to that, most OF them
given at the same time. Mr. Gall
was continues there is general talk
that it is fight between the cam
neries and the people of Alaska.
Anti White Group
Mr.. Rob rtSon mas explained that
the minority, which prefers to be
called the Anti-White faction, and
is called minority here only as a
matter of record of the convention
under the ruling of the chair. put
the proposition to Mr.. White, the
majority leader, of compromising
on sending Mrs White as a delegate
to Cleveland and electing either Mr..
Nerland or former Judge Cecil Clegg
as national committeeman.
School superintendent Bowman
of Douglas, delegate bound by the
unit rule, declares that unless I'VE
get together on some better ground
not one candidate on our ticket is
going to get elected this fall. We
are splitting wide OPEN" There
seems to be general approval of Mr..
Bowman's remarks but nothing is
done about it.
In fact nothing is being done any,
way. This is a convention of words
so far. But Mr. Engstrom has ruled
that the unit rule stands for the
First Division and the roll call shows
SO votes cast by Mr. White against
81 1-2, representing the other three
Divisions. Protests of all those not
wishing to be bound by the unit
