The production of uniform good‘ quality in foxes as in other breeds of live stock has its foundation in selective breeding oi animals of definite type usually confined to some well bred strain. line or fam- | iiy. Suitable breeding stock is the foundation on which is to be rear- i ed. through care and feedl Jierds oi quality foxes. One of e best

the competitions at Amherst fox slligw demonstrated class of a high c er.

Anything that George writes then is worthy oi noting. For in- stance, he says that to glet quality is a worthy ambition. an with the price oi raw fox iurs down 20 par cent from January oi last yea-r. it becomes even more necessary than ever that we set suitable fox foods at as low ost as possible. Now ii we try to nd an answer to the very important question as to how we can produce silver fox furs choice quality at smaller ieed cost. it appears irorn what we know oi i the sections oi fox ranching in the Scandinavian countries that POW-l toes and ﬁsh might well be a one the foods to receive considers ion.

The Norw ans feed consider- itlon towhale meat. such fish foods being used chieﬂy as a substitute for meat; while boiled potatoes. according to later. reports, may be fed as a substitute ior cereals to the extent oi one to two ounces per fox per day. The oi potatoes here in Canada usually small comvﬂfﬂ! Wm‘ that of cereal fox fooih. and ii it is found that they or other foods oi reasonable cost can be success- fully used in the fox diet it would be of benefit to the industry.

With regard to quality in furs, we may remark that there is per- ‘i [mp3 no one word that so sP-| proaches com lete description oi quality in _ slver fox fur as the word "beau ". A beautiful skin is sharply defined in both its black

short cuts to the breeding oiqual- ity in foxes is through pﬂlyilamous mating. By this system a select male. line bred from e Rood fam- used to good advant- age if the breeding be judiciously continued with one or more qual- ity animals of the same type and strain. In this connection we mean line-breeding. and this does not include all the various forms of cousin matings.

Let us realize that quality in firrs. pr rly speaking, does not rnean prce. although prices are dependent to a large extent upon quality. Prices also depend upon a number oi factors in addition to that oi quality such as "the exciu-I sivenesa of lush-class silver fox upon supply and upon demand. Demand is the direct result oi the craving of women oi wealth and fashion to be attired in style. Dis- carded stylee oi generations past occasionally appear as if they were brand new inventions and again become fashionable. Should chum‘;- es in fashion come about by which designers revert to darker furs presenting more beauty in contrast in lieu of the iull silvers that may soon be overdone. it would not seem unlikely that iurs darker than three-quarters may again become more sought after than those of lighter color phases.

It is interesting to note the trend for the past six years in the percentage distribution oi the dif- ferent color phases us learned

White. member for Montreal ‘St. Antoine-Westmount. the oldest member of the House oi Commons. rose a iew second after Mr. Ben- nett sat down. In a voice made partly inaudible bv emotion he ex- pressed the party's thanks to its eader. its regret at his pendng re- tirement and his personal admira- tion for Mr. Bennett. The confer- ence named Mr. White chairman of a committee to prepare a testi- monial. lts form undecided to Mr. Bennett.

"After discussion. the committee unanimously agreed that the quas- tion of holding a national conven- tion should be the first order of business, I "All sections of Canada b! bro- vincei were consulted on the de- sirability oi a convention and lt was unanimously resolved that this committee recommend to the con- ference that a national convention

"Consideration was given to the question of the time of holding such convention. and after careful deliberation and a canvass oi the entire committee and after con- sultation with our leader. it was unanimously resolved that this committee . rnmend that a na- tlorial convention be held at the earliest possible date in the sum- mer oi 1988.

" onsideration was also given to the question of the most liiltable place for holding su~h convention. and after full discussion it was re- solved that we recommend to the conference that the national con- vention be held in Ottawa.

"The matter of preliminary ar- rangements is the concern of the organisation comrvvtte. the finance committee. as well as this commit- tee. ‘Therefore. it was unanimously resolved that this committee recommend to the conferen~e that a national convention committee be set up forthwith by this committee.

mittee an analysis oi correspon- dence from all parts of Canada with respect to chanryng the name of the party. and after discussion it was irnanlmously resolved that this committee reciznmend to the conference that the conference recommend to the national conven- tion that the name of the nartv be the National Conservative Party.

"This committee rvommends that every constituency be communicat- ed with bv Dominion headquarters for the pirrocse of inviting. receiv- in: and correlating all such resolu- i.ons as may be submitter! bv the variant constituencies. with a view to the presentation thereof to the convention platform committee: and that the whole question of narty mllcv be submitted to. settled and determined by the national con- vention.

"But in view of the urgency of the situation and having regard to the notable constructive achieve- ments of the Conservative party under the able leadership oi the Rt. Hon it. B. Bennett. it is urged that the leader of our party and his associates in Parliament use every effort to retain for our pro- ducers the full benefits and advan- tages oi the Empire argreements."

interesting statistics which is re- leased in a recent bulletin. Among other facts brou ht to light are the followlngz- at in the auc- tion sales which began in London. January 6th and concluded on the 25th. over 140.000 silver fox pelts were offered by the several houses and 75% were sold. This offering comprised full and three-quarter silvers 85.000. half-silvers 36.000. uarter-silvers 1.000. black and sightly silvers 3.500. and low grad- not deserving oi classification .000. Approximately 60% oi the total offering was Scandinavian and 40% Canrﬂin skins. The average selling price for all classiﬁcations was approximately 20.00. This compares with an average of 024.13 for the sales at Montreal on De- cember 28th. and $22.29 On ti" Montreal January sales.
