STUDIES BEING IRE
OF FUR PRODUCTION
THROUGHOUT ALASKA
DR. EARL GRAVES WILL ADVISE
FUR FARMERS IN MATTERS
PERTAINING INDUSTRY
The production of fur-bearing ani
mals in Alaska is toi be studied under
a cooperative agreement recently
made between Governor George A.
Parks, of Alaska, and the Biological
Survey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Dr. Earl Graves,
(who is a veterinarian and a graduate
i of Kansas State Agricultural College,
has been selected to conduct the work.
He will study the problems incident to
I the production of fur for commercial
{purposes and advise fur farmers of
Alaska in matters partaining to the
breeding and care of fur-bearing ani- '
j mals and the prevention and cure of
diseases among them. Prior to sail
ing for Alaska, Dr. Graves spent a
! month at the United States Fur-Ani
mal Experiment Station, in Saratoga
county, N. Y., where he studied meth
ods of breeding, feeding, and handling
fur animals that are being raised there
in captivity.
The business of raising fur-bearing
animals to meet the increasing de
mands of the fur trade and to supple
ment the fast diminishing supply in
the wild is comparatively a new in
dustry, but it has engaged the atten
tion of the Biological Survey for many
years. To Alaska it is of particular
importance, since it utilizes outlying
islands that are of little or no value
to agriculture, especially for raising
blue and white foxes, which are native
to the Territory. The results of the
first studies of this sort made in
Alaska by the Federal Government
have been published in Bulletin No.
1350 of the Department of Agriculture,
“Blue-Fox Farming in Alaska.”
The present cooperative agreement
stipulates that all field operations
shall be under the immediate charge
of the veterinarian, ivho shall consult
frequently with Gov. Parks relative to
the plans and procedure required on
the part of the Territorial and Federal
i Governments to serve*lnost effectively
the fur farmers of Alaska. The work
will be carried on in cooperation also
with the Alaska Game Commission,
the United States Forest Service, fur
farmers’ organizations, and others in
terested and in position to participate.
The sum of $15,000 has been appro
priated by the Territory for expendi
ture in the new project during 1927
and 1828, in addition to funds that may
be allotted to the undertaking by the
Biological Survey from its regular
appropriations by Congress for inves
tigations in the production of fur-bear
ing animals.
