U. S. Fur Industry In Serious Condition

Congress Told Many Ranchers Going Iiut 0f Business: Government Alil Is Sought.

By ARTHUR. EDSON

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5 - (OP) -Congress got word today that things are so bad in the United States fur industry that some fur farmers are dOWn to their last silver fox.

Joseph Francis of Ogden. Utah. executive chairman of the Na- tional Board of Fur Farm Organ- izations, told a committee:

A fox is no different than any- one else, His grocery blli thorse- meat, cereals) has gone up. too. It now costs $19.80 to raise him.

But theprice of a good fox pelt has fallen to $22.30, so that the country's 1.280 fox farmers will lose $17.50 on every pclt they sell. Fondly. but sadly, Francis lcoked back l0 years to 1937.

Then it cost only $26.60 for fox feeding and raising. while a pelt brought $40.23.

“What. has happened?" lie was asked.

"Foreign countries weren't; able to ship furs during the war." said Francis. "They built up huge stockpiles. Furthermore each country has a dollar shortage, and wants to ship as much to the Un- ited States as it can.

"So they ship ail their skins here. We're getting four times as many as we did before the war. And, naturally, the price has drop- ped."

Francis asked the committee 4o arrange some method whereby fur farmers could borrow government money to tide them over to better times.

But even if the 10am go through. he said. S00 farmers are so fed up that they bevmdecldedv-te-meke the fur 11y - and go clear out. o! business...» - ——~ '

"How muclrrnoney- do the fur farmers need?" he was asked.

"About 81.860040." said Francis.

The committee never did decide what could be done. if anything.

But everyone seemed agreed on one thing:

In this business, the farmer - as well as the fox - gets skinned.
