The fur of pen- | raised animal is now preferred to| that of wild animals, the report said, because it is more uniform. Higher quality pelts are produced through feeding a ration of fifty percent fish. | Bladder stones in minks can be controlled through feeding one per cent cod liver oil. Hay Production The report said that much Alaska hay needed for feeding livestock in | dairy production can’t be cured be- | cause of the humid weather at har- vesting. Experiments have indicat- ed that grass hav silage, if it can be | properly stored and preserved can be l used for seventy-five to eighty per- cent of the roughage needed for | dairy cattle. The station has dem- | onstrated that silage can be stored by inexpensive trench silo topped with one foot of moss or peat or two feet of chopped straw. f Test of many legumes and grasses indicated, the report said, that a number such as k, alfalfa, per- ennial vetch, Siberian red clover, western rye, canary grass and Ken- tucky blue grass show characteri adaptable {0 Alaskan condition: The station has also demonstrated that hogs could be raised economic- aly, the report said, and progress has been made in connection with | the problems of seeding, fertilizer and cultural treatment to give sat- | isfactory yield for the pea canning industry. Bee Keeping | The report said that other ex-| periments indicated that bee keeping | and honey production would be pro- | fitable supplemental enterprises in | the Matanuska and Tanana valleys | |if adequate honey sources such as clover, alfalfa and other appropriate flowering plants can be grown Various agricultural laws make possible an allocation of $17,500 for | the Alaska station, the department | said, but it only is asking for $10,000.
