The furrlng season has arrived with nights showing temperatures of thirty degrees and below. Shun- ers should be put up around all the sheds and below the doors at each end of the shed. It may seem to some that foxes would fur up better if lots of cold air was allowed to cir- culate through the shed but this would cause droiis and us anyone knows, sitting in a draft is s moot uncomfortable thing and also dung- eious, as it might lend to pneumon- in. A fox i0 do well must be what he considers comfortable and certainly a draiiy shed is not a comfortable thing to live in.

Tripe can be substituted largely

for horse meat now with good re- suits and fish should be eliminated from the diet and fishmeal also. Tripe has neger been known to dis- color n fox and as Jim Tuplin said- and he was one of the best foxmen we can remember of-- "Use plenty of tripe and you will develop a good pelt and can hold your color right up to Christmas." Color and o. fair coat of fur will be a necessity now to achieve the best prices. While the trade is not demanding as long type of fur us it did years ago, yet it does not want a fox pelt. that is fin-t. Early 'pelting ls out too, because pelts will have to be carried over for longer periods of time and early blue pelts have a tendency to turn brown and become valucless after being kept for six or more months. We have. been endenvorlng to find out what types oi breeding‘ stock the rancher should select to hold over as the nucleus for his future herds and our opinion and that of those we have consulted seems to be that platinum in small quantities, also white faces, while ihe emphasis ls on silvers with the darker types not to be neglected. Many Europeans like the dark neck or what we would call the three-quarter type of pelt and some even like a good half sil- ver, providing the silver part oi it is bright and the neck blue-black. In selecting your darker type foxes ‘to carry over be sure the underiur has no brownish cast and that the silver is bright. A dull type of silver with a dark neck will not bring any money as it has no sharp contrast.

Pearl platinums are still being sold in London nthough not much in vogue in Canada and some of these should be kept along with the other types. A rigid culling of every ranch should be instituted this fall. No mediocre stuff curried over as even the best pelts will not bring anything like the pricsl of s. few years ago. There are two suction soles this month that will perhaps give an idea of how the balance of the year will shape uip. One of them was held in Montreal yesterday and the day before and the other will be held in New York next week. If there is p bit of interest taken in foxes n-t both these sales it will have a heartening affect on us all.

plan will go in operation this fell on the some terms-or practically the some forms-ms the put three seasons wu discussed in Ottwii this put week by representatives of the fur consi thouses with the heads of the Department of Agri- culture. In the near future no doubt on announcement will be made but it is not likely that the prions will be such as tctenooiu_ any rancher to carry over very many foxes. In our case We make n monthly mie- ment and have figured to produce a pelt this season it would cost at least $30. That just covers tn. wages, 186d. light and other ranch expenses with nothing for depreciation or management “ .

Mink farmers are in a much bet.- iei‘ Position as there his been an upturn in the prices of all types of mink. but here again a great deal o! t-lwuxbt must be given to the types best suited to the markets for m9 00mins Yflnrs and those that can be produced that will give the best; profit. Most mink men believe that; i419 Present situation of the industry calls for drastic treatment snd that there should be a general house- cleaning or all inferior breeding stock. Some go as far as to say that. it would be better to bum n good 1mm!’ thousands of inferior mink pelts tho-n to place them on the market and jeopardize the repuut- ion of the better pelts. This was one oi the drawbacks in the fox indust. Pl’. the very low grades that go on the market as fox pelts and give n black eve to the better types, 1-1,... K8111! they helped create an over.

What has

trouble with tlftlaiusiiidinkbrllireiiggj: has been the critical drop in we brice.of Sllverblu mink pelts, This was due to general over-produe. twill“ "ii-Popular appeal of some trues of mutation minks The standard dark mink pa“, m; bb Pmins more popular but here B-Eain there is often the tendency to have an over qn-oriuycion 0g skins of inferior quality. Then asoin a great many ranchers my... entered the industry who had had "0 experience, or very little exper- ience. in raising minks, and on not know how .0 cu.ll out the good from the bed. Pastel ind dork standard minks seem to have the best future of any of the types of mink now being raised. out the Pastel is meeting competition b:- cause the trade now offers Pastel dyed China and Jap mink at r: m-uch lower price and the 7410-1 has also had strong qouipetitign with, the light-colored Wirl mints. These light types of wfcl minks have declined sharply in price since last June and such g c034“. ion directly effects the price of Pastel mlnks because of the sim- ilnrity.

A complaint about Silverblu mink pelts is that they nave not stood up well and that gannents made from them do not hold their color. While this is not true in n great many oases. yet there I118 been enough dissatisfaction to in- jure that type of pelt. The reason that they do not stand up is that they were very inferior in enmity and the houseclesning set which we have suggested would be in order for that type of mink pelt

We have received from D.O. Stewart n. financial statement o.’ the Csnndisn Firm Fur Advertis- ing Committee from January iii... i949, to August 31st, .1949. It showed receipts and balance on hand of 018,516.43 for foxes and $18,306.43 for mink. Of this sun' $431717: was spent for fox or- count and 00,100.15 for mink. Dur- ing the past sesiion the commit- tee continued its promotional and advertising activities and every ei- fort within its limited mean: has been made to keep ranch mode fur garments before the eyes of the consumi, public. New and modern fur garments were manu- factured and along with garments manufactured last season were ev- hiblted oi: the InternatlonsJ ‘Pride Fair at Milan. Italy. Selected mini? garments and pelts were also ex- hibited nt this Fair which iisd lf\ ittendsnce of over ‘l2 mililon from nil parts of the world. The Exhibit was on unqualified sutcoss ann easily the most attractive in the fur section of the Fair. Because of the leek of demand for lent- haired furs in the United States and the inability of the Exislhh and European markets to purch- use qtherthiin essential refill"!- ments from the so-cnlieii "dollar" countries, the long hoped for im- provement in demand for fox 111i’! has not reached the deal-en pro- portioi-is. but the activities of cur committee has been Nmiiliiiiiie for n considerable proportion 0i the interest which has been main- tained in fox furs.

A complaint Illl been received from a fur auction house in ro- gnrd to foxes and it is the! the majority of Oanndlsn ioxrs are pelted with the fore paws hilide the skin and they are often in- sufficiently a . with the r-sult ihnt deteriers n sets in an! when the skin is dressed til!!!
