FUR
BILL EXPLAINED
BY FUR FARMER
Industry Is Fast Declining
Declares Mr.. Haltiner
of Hound Island

Announcing that bill requesting
the appropriation o. approximately
$50 900 for the establishing of Ter
ritorial fur farm and experimental
station is soon to be introduced in
the Territorial Legislature by Sena-
tor Henry Roden, of the First Di-
vision, Fred Haltiner, Hound Island
fur farmer, and one of the main
supporters of the bill, discussed the
great need such an establishment
would fulfill.
Mr.. Haltiner, who with his wife
and baby has been in Juneau in
connection with the bill for the past
week, and who, accompanied by his
family sailed south on the Princess
Norah, has been raising foxes on
little Hound Island in Keku Strait
for the past five years.
While south, for about month.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haltiner will visit
with his parents at Paulsbo, Wash,
and with Mrs. Haltiner's parents at
Wenatchee, Wash.
Greatly Needed
Such an experimental station as
proposed, has long been greatly
needed by all raisers of market furs
in Alaska, Mr.. Haltiner said, and
Earl dinner, Petersburg business
man and cannery executive, besides
being most prominent in action
toward the securing of the present
legislation, has long been working
toward the same direction.
OF the approximately 400 fur far
mers on various Alaska islands
nearly 100 per cent are behind the
proposed measure, as is shown BY
their replies to inquiries sent out
by Mr.. Dinner, short time ago.
Principal Purpose
The principal work of the proposed
station would be the diagnosis of ana
development of means of combat
ting parasites that infect all fur
islands after they have been in use
fer a few years, and kill large
percentage of the young stock.
Another problem needing solution
is that of pen-raising animals and
yet having them develop market
able fur. AS conditions now are
Mr. Haltiner declared, each new
island is good for only very few
years of production before it be-
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1937-01-23

comes infected. and the profitable
raising of furs becomes question
able. OF the five years that Mr.. Hal
timer has been raising blue fox on
Hound Island, the past two have
shown marked decreases in the bro
portion of the increase that sur
wives.
Has Experimental Pen
Mr.. Haltiner has, himself, built an
experimental pen, in an effort to
avoid the parasites by pen raising,
but the penned animals have not
developed salable coats of fur. Not
being himself trained veterinarian,
Mr.. Haltiner has been unable to
solve the problem. Besides, he said,
the cost of experimentation by indi-
vidual farmers is prohibitive.
The proposed measure would es-
tablish an experimental farm on an
island to be located by neutral
commission. Two trained veterinar-
ians would be required; one to con-
duct the farm and another, provid-
ed with sufficient transportation
funds, to be on call to visit the in
dividual farms and examine their
problems
Veterinarian Needed
If the full amount asked in The ap-
preparation bill is not available, it
would be of immense help to the in
dustry if $4,000 would be appropri-
ated to secure a veterinarian, pro-
vided with travelling funds, on ex-
elusive cali TO the fur raisers for
diagnosis. AS the situation now is,
Mr. Haltiner said, DR.. Jules LOTUS,
territorial veterinarian, has not suf-
ficient funds at his disposal to an
swer calls. Besides, he has the entire
territory to cover in connection with
all types of animal problems, and
is seldom available for calls, neither
can he conduct experimental work.
The station would have to be es-
tablished in the section where the
animals are raised in order that its
findings would have value. Else
where climatic and other conditions
would be different. Under present
conditions, the carcass of an ami
NAL that has been diseased must be
embalmed and sent to Washington,
D. c. for diagnosis of its infection.
Besides the great cost involved, the
carcass usually gets there too late
for accurate research work. A dag
nostic laboratory located in the fur
section would be of invaluable as
sistance in combating the parasites
that now soon infect the ground
where the animals run at large.
Decline Threatened
If some step is not soon taken,

declared Mr.. Haltiner, the fur in.
dustry, vitality important to Alaska.
especially Southeast Alaska. will in
the next few years see a serious de,
cline. There is no reason, he con-
tinued, why it should not be built
up till it is more flourishing tina"
ever before.
Though needing initial support,
he said there is no reason why the
experimental station should not soon
become self-supporting, if not pro-
fit-making, through the sale OF I'M
proved breeding stock as is done
with agricultural experiment sta
lions in the States, such as that at
Washington State College.
The station could be of great
value to the University of Alaska as
training field for graduate stu
dents, and the cost could thus be
cut, Mr.. Haltiner declared. One ex-
perienced travelling veterinarian
would then suffice, he said and the
students could carry on the expert
mental and research work under
his direction.
Forward Strides
Great forward strides could be
taken toward the making of the
industry in Alaska the finest any
where, as it is now fact that Alas
ka blue fox pelts are the finest
of any raised anywhere. Though
they are inferior to the wild Arctic
blue fox, the latter are fast becom-
ing more scarce and most of the
demand must be met by raising.
An opportunity for the station
would lie in the improvement of the
pelts through the destination Of
proper feeding knowledge leach
farmer now has his own individual
beliefs regarding feeding) and
through the solution of the diff
culties now present in the Territory
in the raising of silver fox. The sta
ton would conduct research not only
in fox but in mink and other farmed
fur bearers.
1t is inevitable, Mr.. Haltiner de-
clared, that the establishment of
such station as is asked, would
greatly benefit the Territory and
more than pay out, and that verJ
soon.

Your ChiLdYen
By Olive Roberts Barton


 As we look about us at the world, and observe the widening rift be- tween the world of youth and the world of age, it appears to me that we shall have to tie on the good old-fashioned aprons with loi.e strings.
 This good old piece of apparel was put away in the attic chest some dozen or more years ago. when the word went round that children were entitled to live their own lives.
 Apron strings was the word used to 'belittle Johnny if he was fond of his mama. Some of the more erudite called it "Oedipus" and Freud and Company scared every parent almost to death, about boys becoming too fond of their mothers.
 I$f I remember rightly, not a word was said about he girls, who were nice little sit-in-the-corn and helped wipe the dishes. But just the same, mothers united their aprons, said "Shoo" to their broods and felt themselves very brave in allowing the youngsters to forget those miserable things called home ties.
 Some Home Tie Needed
 Now this wise old Buddha nas crossed his arms and observed some sights, meaning that have seen the home-fires burning too often with no one at home but mother and dad. Out in the world somewhere getting all fed up on knowledge and experience were, and still are, the Johnnys and Marys. They were, and are, get ting plenty of group experience plenty of ego in winning prizes in contests, plenty of sports and dances and good times:
 But some way there is some thing still wanting. And I believe 1t is the tether to home.
 Indeed have talked with so many lonely mothers, and dis appointed ones, who wish the
