Any sanctuary. to be a sanctuary must be large enough to shelter waterfowl both where they feed and where they rest. and also on their short normal flights to and from feeding and resting areas. A sanc- tuary on which birds are fed either naturally or artifically, but with shooting grounds attached, is no better than a slaughter pen.

Some Experience With Strawberry P r 0 d u c t i o n

As I have just finished the harv- estiiig of my 48th crop of over 17,- 000 boxes of strawberries. some comment on strawberry growing from my experience might be use- ful arid of interest.

Early in my farming activities I began to keep records to determine the cost of production of different crops. It was very soon evident to me. that the strawberry was one of the most rofitable. It also fitted in well wftii the growing of young apple trees, for the straw- berry took care of the cost of

‘i of the tomato being a

cultivation and fertilizer. while the apple trees got their share without cost.

Thirty to for_ty years ago the average cost of production up to harvest time was 2 1-2c per box. The cost of containers, picking, trucking and supervision was also 2 1-2c. per box_ In late years the average cost of production with fruit ready to harvest has been 3c. per box. while the other ex en- ses of picking. packing. trucliing and supervision has increased to 3 1-2c. per box, making a total of 8 1-3c. per boxtdelivered at the station. This does not allow any return for use of land. Cost of labor has increased. but the cost of fertilizer is lower.

I distinctly remember the tn- troduction of the first cultivated strawberries in this neighborhood. They seemed wonderful. The first commercial varieties set out were Crescent and Wilson. The Crescent was an abundant producer of small red berries. This variety held for a number of years. but; gradually gave way to varieties like Beaubac. Sample. Williams and other var- teties of larger berries. These var- ieties were subsequently displaced by a better ytelder, Senator Dun- lap, which has lead for over 20 years. We have wasted money trying out a large number of new varieties, but I am well satisfied that Premier is the most profit- able variety in this section.

As I look back I can see lots of mistakes which have reduced my

rofits, but notwithstanding these osses I must give the strawberry credit for affording me a great deal of pleasure in working with it, besides yielding accumulated

worksho, which seemed a good

strong p ace, and that evening went to the pictures. On arrival home he thought he would have a look at

his new dog. but no sir, doggie had eaten his way out.

Capt/tired again by the man who took him to Hunter River he was fed lar e quantities of beef and

other deica-cies he liked, so decid- ed he would stay there. However.

he did not like the feline or canine company about the place. so the death and damages toll at present stands at three oats, one dog and a large building partially destroyed. sonow at. rting was lessen- ed by the thong t that a great sav- ing in feed would occur at the ranch. as friend doggie ate the equivalent of six fOXes daily!

A national fur week will be held in New York from November 12th to November 19th. and it is expect- ed that buyers will be resent from all over the United Sates.

In an effort to increase the na- tional income through exports. the Commerce and Industry Ministry of Japan has issued a statement prohibiting the domestic sale of silver fox in that country beginning this winter. or the 21.276 silver fox furs marketed by Japan last year only 1.624 were exported.

The New York Auction Com- pany's regular fall silver fox sales resulted as follows: Full silvers. '15 gel‘ cent sold, average price $39.21:
