FOOD SUPPLY
Fish is the basic article in the
essential that it be readily obtain
able throughout the year. Froxim
ity to a cannery is a great advan
tage, as the waste material makes
excellent feed. Seals and porpoises
and members of the whale family j
might well be more utilized than is
now the case. It is essential that
the food be palatable, untritious
and inexpensive.
WATER
The presence of fresh-water
springs, streams or ponds on an
island is important. During the
whelping season especially it is nec
essary that fresh water be supplied
at or near the dens. It is almost
impossible to avoid carrying water
to some extent, but the problem j
is much simplified if the natural j
supply is well distributed about the
island.
ISLAND AREA
The number of foxes that can be
kept on a given area depends large
ly on the denning grounds, the
number of feeding places, and the
attention given. When fed at var
ious locations on the island, foxes
become accustomed to the feeding
places and make their homes not
far away. Even on the larger is
lands the dens are found in prox
imity to the feeding places. There
is no immediate cause for concern
about overcrowding. It has been
estimated by the ranchers on the
smaller islands—for example, those
| containing 40, 50 or 60 acres—that
j between 150 and 200 foxes can be
| maintained if properly fed.
