FIVEFOLD INCREASE OVER 1925,
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
REVEALS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. (JP)—

tial factor in New Zela-nd’s exports

quarter of 1926, the total being five
times the shipments of this commodi
ty in the corresponding period of
1925, according to an announcement
issued by ' the Department of Com
merce. The shifting total of New
Zeland exports to this country are
aso noted in the announcement.

ast, according to Vice Consul W.

‘SJIMSON’ FOXES DECLARED
UNSUITABLE FUR ANIMALS
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 29. (Jp)—'The
comparative undesirability of “Sam
son” foxes for breeding fur animals
has been demonstrated by test, ac
cording to the Biological Survey, De
parment of Agriculture. The text of
a brief statemen concerning the
Survey’s experimental work along
this line follows:
Investigations carried on at the ex
perimental fur farm of the Biological
Survey of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture at Saratoga
Springs, N. Y., have included experi
ments with “Samson” foxes. These
are foxes that lack the long guard
hairs, "which make fox fur so beauti
ful and desirable, and so have nearly
worthless pelts.
It was thought advisable to deter
mine whether this undesirable char
acteristic would be transmitted in
crossbreeding with foxes of superior
quality.
The work has progressed suffi
ciently to justify adyice against re
taining any “Samson” foxes as breed
ing animals.
