CATCH OF RAW FURS
IN U.S. DIMINISHING
CLAIMS DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON, Dec? 20. <£>)—'To
encourage effective action on the
part of those concerned in maintain
ing the supply of fur animals, in
cluding trappers, fur tradesmen, ad
ministrative officials, legislative com
mittees, and conservation societies,
the Biological Survey issues a sum
mary of the fur laws for each season.
The thirteenth annual summary en
titled, “Fur Laws for the Season
1927-28,” and known as Farmers’ Bul
letin No. 1552-F, has just been pub
lished.
The authors of the bulletin state
that the fur resources of the country
are steadily diminishing, and that the
factors responsible for this are out
of-season trapping, overtrapping, a
general tendency in many sections
to class fur bearers as vermin to be
killed on sight, a great reduction of
fur-producing areas, unwise drainage
of swamps and marshes, and need
less destruction of forests and cover.
The Sitka paper recently suspended
publication, according to recent word
from the South.
