The next your, I910. Si»! prices maintained.

U. S.‘ Adverse Tariff

In 1920 the United States, its fox farming activities having ex- panded so that the breeders felt- they could supply their own mar- ket, placed a. 50% tariff on silver fox pelts. This was an almost knockout blow to Canadian fox farmers, and two or three years of very bad times set in. Then the Americans and Norwegians come to Prince Edward Island for breeding stock and thousands of foxes found their wsy to new homes in Europe and America. Western Canada was a little slower than the United States 1n taking up fax farming, but along about 1926 they, too, woke up. having found that the low cost of feed and the climate were factors mak- ing for cheap production of pelts.

Ontario, too, became s buyer of

{breeding stock, also Quebec. while

New Brunswick, which had been the Dalton-

ln the game from Oulton period, expanded,

In Europe, Norway took the lead. the industrious habits of the people climate and the access to cheap feed such as whale meat, made fur forming a sure money-making proposition. All countries increas- ed in fur production with the good returns being received from the auctions, particularly in London 'and New York, causing still fur- ther expansion. so over a mllllcn pelts were offered. This proved top heavy, even though a great number 0f uses had been found for silver fox

fur such as. trimming. cubes, coats,

in addition to the always popular neckpleces.

Prices Take a Tumble

Prices tumbled still further the following year so that the years i938. I939, I940 can be written off as ones of loss for the fox farmer. Most ranchers not only pelt/ed off their regular production but cut down their breedlng'stock. They had to 1n order to meet their bills. This caused a much smaller num- ber of Pelt: t0 be available for marketing the fall of 1940 and the sprlnl. summer and full of 1041. Prices rose and the average for the post season has been various- ly stated to be between $3.00 and $25.00 per pelt. 0f course some

The New Types

What about the new types? is something 1 am asked every day. No one seems to be in a position to give a satisfactory answer at present. I like l-ite new types. l think many of them are very beautiful indeed. I do think that some of the new type white-face foxes crossed with our bright silvers give s. type of pelt that will be in good de- mand. This year it is expected that some 15,000 to 25,000 of the new types will be offered on the mar- kets of the United states and Can-

the numbers have been reasonably large and the keenest of competi- tion has devloped so that in the Exhibitions that have been held recently the quality has been of ex- ceptionally high order. . The first President of the Ex- hibition was Mr. J. Walter Jones,

the central committee in charge of the Fox Show at its first meet- lngs.

Om of the first movements cf the Provincial Board of directors was to plan for the incorporation of the Elthlbltion Asccistlon. This was accordingly done at the ses- islon of the Legislature in 1930 |when the Exhibition Association was officially designated as the silver pox Exhibitors’ Association of Prince Edward Island. This name was later changed to the P. E I. Fox Breeders’ and Exhibi- tors‘ Association. Changes WeN accordingly made in the Act o! Incorporation. This was done at the time of affiliation with the Canadian Nstlonal Silver Fox Breeders’ Association. 'I‘he Act cf Incorporation provided for eizhi" t€€r1 (directors representing the three Counties.

portunity to match kinds and color-lugs s0 that they can get the propcr selection for copes, jackets, neckpicces, trimm- ings. etc.

I do not believe that any of the typrs will bring the almost fabul- ous prices that the few hundred Norwcgiuh pilllllllllli pelts averaged two seasons ago. There will be, in my opinion, o. dcfiuite pressure brought to prevent any great in- fiction of prices, and as the we: progresses and becomes more and more difficult for governments and individuals. extravagance will be discouraged.

No Cause For Bessimism

This article is not written with the view of causing the fox far- mer to become pessimistic. It ls written to cause him to become cautious, so that he and his busi- ness will survive the trying periods ahead. I do not believe it ls s time 501‘ all!’ swat expnslcn, rather that each of us should put our house 1n order, weed out our un. satisfactory foxes, improvo our ‘nerds, put forth our best efforts to

crease production so that we will again have an over-supply.
