BIOLOGICAL DEPT
ISSUES PAMPHLET
ON BLUE FOX
BECOMES IMPORTANT INDUSTRY
IN TERRITORY, EXTRACT
ANNOUNCES
Raising true foxes for their pelts
is becoming an important enterprise
on theisfands along the coast of Al
aska, according to a recent bulletin
of the Biological Survey,United States
Department of Agriculture, entitled
"Blue-Fox Farming in Alaska.”. So
rapidly has the industry grown that
practically all suitafcfe islands con
trolled by the department have al
ready been leased for this purpose.
Blue-fox farming is practiced on out
lying islands of Kittle or no value for
agriculture. The foxes are allowed
to roam over an entire island, where
they choose their mates and make
dens. The animals are, in most in
stances, fed at regular intervals by
the ranchers
Attempts to raise... blue foxes in
pens in Alaska have met with some
success. It is asserted by a number
of ranchers and raw-fur buyers, how
ever, that the pefts of blue foxes
thus raised, lack the quality, and
finish of those produced under wild
conditions.
A long, cold winter with a fair
amount of rainfall,... particularly in
the Spring, is conducive to the pro
duction of good pelts acording to
the bullletin. An isfland chosen for
a fox ranch should have a harbor
for a boat to permit communication
with the mainland or other islands.
Since fish is the chief article of
food in the diet of the blue fox,
proximity to a cannery is of decided
advantage, as the waste... material
makes excellent food for the foxes.
The presence of fresh-water springs,
streams or ponds on the island ranch !
is also important.
Selective breeding of the animals is
recommended by the authors of the j
bulletin as a means of improving the
market value of the pelts.
A short description is given con
cerning the development... of white
fox farming in northern Alaska.
That the white fox will play an im- j
portant part in fox farming is indi
cated by the fact that of 92 permits
issued in 1925 by the department for
the capture of A/iaskan fur bearers
for propagation, thirty-three were ,
for taking white foxes.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead."
