First installment of an article on musk-ox wool as a potential new textile fiber. It opens with the search for new fibers and gives production statistics for mohair and alpaca, then discusses the impracticality of breeding foreign fiber animals in the U.S. It then covers the musk-ox itself: conservation efforts in Canada, the 1930 Alaska experimental herd, the animal's range, appearance, herd behavior and population, and begins measurements of the hair coat (wool and beard hair lengths and percentages) from New York and Alaska samples.
