Three, however, overcame their delicacy to try out the new.diet. But they ate so daintly that when ther teeth encountered the poison- loaced pellets, they rejected them, to the ground.

Mink eating habits being the same as marten, the men concluded that no danger whatever would be encountered in setting out the lethal poison. Wolves have been | known to leave a herd of caribou !to pick up and “wolf” down the almeat. They're dead within a hours after the frozen pellets e digested. Only worry the predator control- lers have is of wild fox, who eat the same manner—they also their food. But sets are made apart, and fox migrate very le, so that if one or two eats ison, a small area only is af- fected. Pear, of course, are taking their long winter’s sleep while the work ocs on, so the poison-setters need fear nothing on that score. Wolves mainly prey on deer in none on Chichagof, Baranof and Admiralty Islands, the mainland and other smaller islands atound with them. i 10 WILL POISON Rhode has ordered eight men in the Wildlife Service to work on precator control this winter in Southeast Alaska. With the two rermanently stationed here, this move is looked upon to come up with a record kill of wolves. Three men are being transferred from the Interior, and all enforce- ment officials here will turn to poison work on January 10. The'en- {larged force will work until mid- | February, when days lengthen in Poison sets of the seal blubber- balls will be made from a plane, which will 'end if conditions allow. Otherwise :he pellets will be drso- ped in likely areas, Rhode saia WOLVES LOVE 17 Wiilie sealmeat jis stri-uc stuft to most wolves, who never go near a seal, they will rush for it because of its smelly attraction to them. Even if a plane drops a pellet within a few feet of him, Mr. Wolf might jump 10 feet in the air, but will gobtle up his “manna from | heaven” as soon as his feet hit the ground. The fur farm, only one of its type in Alaska, is under the Depart- ment of Agriculture, on the theory ithat domestic fur-bearing animals are the same as livestock, and thus come under jurisdiction of that de- partment. The Wildlife Service lcomrolled it until April, 1946. ‘ Work involves experiments ing diet, reproduction, and other fac-| tors which might benefit domestic )tur farmers. Some 40 marten and +more mink are on hand. Breedng |to obtain the new “mutation” mink is in the foreground now. I ! ! MRS. WILLIAMSON BACK !
