AUSTIN, April 8.—Texas, the'
largest state in the Union, leader
in the production of cattle and
the wealthiest in point of nat-
ural resources, now is laying
claim to another title, that of
one of the greatest fur producing {
states in the nation in fur pro-
duction Texas is exceeded only by
Louisiana
These statements were made re-
cently by Sen W E Thomason
of Nacogdoches during argu-l
ment on a bill affecting the ex-I
ing of pelts of fur bearing ani-
mate. According to Thomason, 1
Texas produce, more furs than,
the Dominion of Canada Louis-1
iana, he stated produced more'
furs than the Dominion of Can- |
ada and Alaska combined
The fur industry in eastern,
Texas has developed rapidly in
the past few years and is com-
monly regarded as one of the best 1
paying pursuits in the state The
furs consist mostly of th pelts/i
of muskrats and similar animals 1
The bill gave the trappers the
right to keep pelts after the sea-li
son had been closed provided
they had been rendered for taxes J
and marked Under the old law, 1
trappers were required to dispose | |
of the furs within 10 days after 1
the close of the season This 1
caused buyers of the pelts to I
force the prices down, leaving the i I
trappers little opportunity to dis- 1
pose of their catches at good I
quotations The bill gave them 1
the opportunity to hold them as 1
long as they wished so that now 1
they may take advantage of any 1
increase in prices which usually 1
results after the close of the 1
trapping season 1
