Silver fox farming has settled down
to a legitimate business, having pass
ed through its period of 'noetic specu
lation and profiteering. It is now on
a substantial basis and is undoubted
ly due to become a very important
factor in the production of lurs tor
the manufacturing trade. Just now
the muskrat breeding business is go
ing through a similar period of spec
ulation and fraudulent misrepresent
ation. Some of the methods of these
imaginative profiteers were exposed
in a recent statement by game and
fish commissioner and the commis
sioner of securities of Minnesota.
Everyone has heard the famous cat
and rabbit story and it appears that
some of‘ the muskrat promoters are
using the cupidity of gullible people.
The promoters who have been opera
ting in Minnesota obtain fur breeding
licenses for muskrats under which
they proceed to organize “breeding
units” which are sold by salesmen to
prospective investors and fur farm
ers. The breeding unit consists of
;wo females and one male muskrat
or which the price ranges from $50
o $75. The salesman agrees to put
he rats on a ranch and rear them,

ous measures to curtail 'the exodus of
Mexicans to the United States in
search of employment were initiated
today by the Mexican Regional Fed
eration of Labor in support of the gov

CHILDREN KILLED BY LIGHTNING
DALLAS. Texas, June 25. (/P)—Eight
children are reported dying after hav
ing been struck by lightning. They
were standing by an open place here
yesterday when the bolt descended.
to receive half the proceeds received
from the sale of the furs supplied by
the progeny of the unit. The actual
value of these units is from $2.50 to
$5.00. According to the estimates,
of the enthusiastic salesmen, these
breeding units will increase from
three animals to 19,666 at the end of
the third year.
There is a legitimate field ‘or
muskrat farming. It can be and has
been carried on successfully but
careful, competent and economic
business methods are necssary to
success. There is a great future
in this country for fur farming in
cluding the breeding of foxes, musk
rats, mink, fur rabbits, skunk, rac
coons and various other species, but
anyone who undertakes fur farming
as an easy road to fabulous wealth
is due for disillusionment. It is a
good, legitimate business but re
quires the same amount of hard
headed business sense as any other
enterprise.
