EXAMINED FOX FARMS
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
Ned Dearborn, the representative of !
the department of agriculture, passed
south on the last boat after having |
examined the fox farms along the
I coast. One fact which he intends to
investigate is that foxes in Alaska
farms are not as fertile as in the east.
Foxes back east usually have litters
of eight or nine while our animals
seem to be able to produce only three
or four to the litter. Mr. Dearborn
visited Fox Island over in the La
Touche district, which is owned by
some Seward people including Guy
Whitehead, and he was so interested
that he remained there three days.
Today the Seward Gateway is the
