FOX ONUS OF
ALASKO ItnE LOSING
THOUSANDS ANNUALLY'
“I am preaching ami advocating '
animal control and investigating con
ditions among the fur farmers of the
Territory,” stated Dr. E. F. Graves,
at yesterday’s Seward Chamber of
Commerce luncheon, when asked by
President Leon Urbach to address a
few remarks to the gathering.
Under legislative Act 53 Governor
Parks was permitted to bring into
the Territory a veterinary for the pur.
pose of assisting the fox ranchers.
And from what Dr. Graves said yes
terday his investigation thus far has
proven to him hundreds of thousands
of dollars in foxes is being lost an
nually by Alaska fur farmers solely
due to failure in paying proper atten
tion in caring and feeding the animals
He illustrated his remarks by re
lating the circumstances how one fox
rancher and his associates, lost the
staggering amount of $90,000. In this
particular case Dr. Graves, upon vis
iting the farm, found eight pair ofi
foxes in individual pens but instead j
of them being males and females, lo j
and behold, they were all female.
In another case -where litters of 15
should have been forthcoming, but
one pup was produced. All due to im
proper care, stated the Doctor.
“Whether I stay on the job or not
it matters not,” he added, “but I fer
vently hope a experimental fur farm,
such as has been established in the
East, may be established in Alaska.
You should urge this important mat
ter upon your legislature members
for an industry worth many millions
can be built up in Alaska.”
Dr. Graves .particularly stressed
the point that he trusted the Alaska
College might be able to obtain a. bud
get with which to carry on research
work along this line.
