FUR FARMING 



While wartime problems continued to beset the fur breeder, and the future 

 market for raw furs was somewhat uncertain, there was sufficient demand to 

 maintain prices at a level commensurate with the rising cost of operation. The 

 industry continued on practically the same scale as in the previous year. 1220 fur 

 farmers' licenses were issued during the year 1944 — 1091 renewals and 129 new 

 licenses.
