His arguments, backed up by an hon est belief in what he said, were con vincing enough to have sold red flan nel union suits to the devil, and when he came home from the county Fair with a pig he had raised, decorated as for Mardi Gras Parade with prize ribbons, the Old Man was sold. He threw down his hand, and admitted that once he was blind but now he could see-and the fool killer changed hands with his club and passed on to the next farm where he had singled out a hard boiled cracker who still be lieved cotton was king and refused to listen to the Gospel of pure bred hogs and dliversifiedl crops. The next few months were busy ones on the Jackson plantation. Thc entire herd of Razorbacks wvhich had boarded wvith the family for many years was sacrificed, including thc Speed King of the bunch. This baby was all to the mustard and neither Barney Oldfield or Tommy Milton had anything on him. lHe sported a fly b~rush tail and a chassis that would have arousedl the sporting blood of a pilgrimf father. He could do a hun <h1ed yards 'n nothing from a standing start, andl at the end of the course take a five foot fence as easy as pie andl never turn a bristle, lie was also a bear cat for food and could store away more vitamnines and show less physique than the living skeleton in a museum. Several pure bred sows were pur chased which in a short time present edl their owner with families, the size and quality of which would have madc glad the heart of Roosevelt. Trhe rais ing of cotton was cut out entirely and diff'erent food crops wore planted to take care of the rapidly increasing hog population and after one tight year thing sbegan to break easier for HII and he wvas off in a running start for Easy street.

ALASKAN ISLANDS OFFER SITES FOR FOX FARMING Along the southern coast of Alaska are hundreds of islands of great var iety in size and topography, many of which are ideal for the dlevelopment of fox farming. Sonme are already in use for that purpose by men who are pioneering in the fur-growing indus try. Ten of these islands are undler control of the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Ag rieulture and many that are within national forests are administered by the Forest Service. Persons who are raising foxes on these controlled is kands receivec permits from the Biolo gical Survey or the Forest Service, b~ut on the many other isninds men who go into the business are merely squatters. The s:>fety of their pro perty depends solely on their wvatch fulness and the strength of their armis. According to the Biological Survey, there is a great opportunity in these wild and woodeod island~s to develop rur farming on a large scale. This bureau receives many requests from plersons interested in the indlustry, n:ome of wvhom are now squatters, b~ut only a few have the hardihood to go aihead oni a large scale. Blue foxes can he turnedl loose on some of the islands and will thrive with little attentin so long as a suffi cient food supply is available. Black and silver-gray foxes, however, must be kept confined. All of these varie ties may be raisedl successfully on many of the islands, but it is thought that the blue fox will become the most important source of fur in the region.
