The muskrat success was en-
tirely unexpected. Prior to the
areas present development, a
large muSkrat = farming effort
was among the many ventures
in using this area that had
failed. Nationally known experts
had even concluded that the
Seney marshes were of such a
character that muskrat farming
would be impracticable.
Then the federal government
acquired the Seney marshes and
the Civilian Conservation Corps
began the work of developing
the area under Fish and Wild
life service supervision so that
the marshes would be a refuge
In fact as well as name. bikes
were built pools flooded, and
water levels maintained. And
the muskratS began to increase,
so rapidly in fact that they
threatened interference with
the main purpose of the refuge.
But the potential interference
was handled easily, and profit
ably for all concerned. Local
trappers were given permits to
take the muSkratS in a COOPER
alive effort to reduce the musk
rat population and to harvest
the crop. Refuge officials sup
ervised the program, protected
the traps, and gave the trappers

trappers got half the pelts, and
the other half were sold by the
Fish and Wildlife service for
the benefit Of the United States
treasury.
In the fall of 1910 and the
spring of 1941 more than 10000
peltS were taken by the share

season Is trappers earned
around 5000 apiece as their
share of the returns from about

50 Ships Expected

As Operators Meet

Call to Intercoostol
Steamship Companies

b. the Associated Press.
The Maritime Commission has
called on -intercoastal steamship
operators for vessels for the 2,ooo,-
ooO-ton shipping pool recently or
dered by President Roosevelt, COM
mission spokesman said today.
Intercoastal operators, he said,
were to meet in New York today to
discuss what ships they could pro-
vide.
While declining to say how many
ships the commission expected from
the intercoastal trade, he described
so as a reasonable guess"
Since these ships likely would
average about 5000 tons each, this
would provide 100000 tons toward
what the President asked for this
country's all-out aid to the democ-
racies.
The commission recently ar
ranged with tanker operators to
provide SO tankers to be placed in
the service of Great Britain.
These tankers will continue to
haul cargoes from oil-producing
countries of Latin America to United
States North Atlantic ports for
transfer to British tankers, greatly
reducing their haul and, in effect,
increasing Great Britain's available
tonnage.
Some of the tankers already have
gone to work for Great Britain,
officials said.
Red Sea Duty Seen.
Some of the ships sought from
the intercoastal trade are expected
to be placed in service to the Red
Sea area. Mr.. Roosevelt recently
remove it from the combat zone
making it possible for American
ships to resume voyages there.
Without disclosing any details,
the commission a few days ago said
service would be established to the
Red Sea, and additional service
added to China. +

forebodings which have come re-
Gently from monopolistically con-
trolled sources in the industry"
These men," he said, Ito divert

listic control in their hands, con-

pass into Government hands, it was
equally determined that the control
should not gravitate into the hands
of two or three private groups"
