Sirs: TIME Nov. 13 outlines Fur Trade and Fur Farming Industry briefly, clearly. TIME does err in one particular, the price of select breeding mink. $300 a pair for breeding mink is reminiscent of the promotion days of fur farming when silver foxes sold for $5,000 a pair, frequently earning large dividends on the enormous investment. Today's prices of breeding stock based on fur value. Fur farmers today glad to get half the prices quoted by TIME for select Alaska, Quebec, Labrador mink. ROY D. HARMAN...
...which a herd stampedes through a valley, over a hill, across a beach and into the water, where Mala and his companions harpoon them. There are, also, less healthy exercises to be seen in Eskimo-lust, murder, polygamy. Mala makes the mistake of lending his wife to a Nordic fur-trader who gets her tipsy, rapes her and then allows her to shuffle off across the snow where his assistant shoots her under the pardonable delusion that she is a seal. For harpooning the fur-trader Mala becomes fair prey for two members of the Canadian Mounted Police. They inveigle...
...Berlin nearly every kiosk blossomed with a poster of Der Marschall und der Gefreite. Onetime Gefreite (lance-corporal) Adolf Hitler was shown in Nazi uniform, Feldmarschall von Hindenburg in the sack suit of a President.

Adolf Hitler, born an Austrian, was about to make good...
Minks with finest fur are in Labrador, Quebec and northeastern New England. A pair of breeding minks descended from their stock costs about $300. But breeders who try to start with one pair are apt to be disappointed. Female minks are choosy. Experienced breeders advise a minimum investment of about $650, which will buy three females, two males. Better plan, say some, is to begin with $1,000 worth of breeding stock, add $300 to $500 worth during the first three years. Each female mink should produce two to ten kits a year. By the fourth year it is claimed...
...least 84 individuals, 70 corporations and five labor organizations connected with $100,000,000 of U. S. fur business had no reason whatever to feel cheerful. They were indicted by the Federal Government in a sweeping drive to stamp out racketeering in the fur trade...
