_ Fol‘ ycars the sdvcr fox farmer iii Canada has ban suffering from a moreor less inferiority complex, particularly if he was one of those _who had been in business for fifteen or more years. if so he could look back to the ‘scriod between i921 and 193i when he could walk into a buyer in Charlottetown or Sunimerside or‘ sliip to London, England, and re- ceive averages of anywhere bs-. tween $10 and $200 a pelt- I

will attend to the details of the show in Summerside, giving freely of their time and effort, and you will be assured of the fairest pos- sible treatment. The idea is to have each and every rancher who pro- duces good pelts an exhibitor. George A. Callbeck will take per- sonal charge of the marketing of the pelts and they will be well ad- vertised to the trade so that; ait- ention will be focused on them-

These are a few particulars. . Friday, Qec. 31st, will be closing date for the receiving of furs and all pelts must be in the hands ofl the pelt show committee at the; Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders‘ Association, Summe side.

with the market of i943 reaching its climax in June and September. when prices were 40 percent or more over the previous December levels.

Thousands 0i fur farmers in the United Stat-s and Canada came so discouraged that they dropped out, but others sustain- ed by l-lope held on. That indefin- ite quality, Hope, had its most. striking example in the case of Alexander the Great- Scarcely thirty-six years of age he called a conference of generals and high] ranking officials and gave tol illCfli the soverelgnlty of his var-l ious provinces and wealth, stat- ing that he was entering upon nn oxncdition that required neither of these things. They asked what lie lllld reserved for himself and Iic said, "HOpc". and with that con»

quered the world.

And so, fellow fox farmers, the Hope wine-ii we have licld in our hearts is new being justified and as sure as day lull 0W5 night there are better things in sight for us all. The reason for the present big upturn is scarcity of furs of all kinds. Thousands of trappcrs have ceased Operations, Iieliig culled lo tlic army or other
