The value of raw furs produced in Canada during the 1935-36 sea- son was the highest since l..!8-29, the total being $14,040,000 as com- pared with $12,843,000 the year be- fore and more than $18,000,000 in 1928-29. These totals comprise the values of pelts sold from fur farms and other sources. the fur farms representing more than one-third of the whole.

Silver fox is far in advance of every other kind in total value re- presenthg about 34 per cent of our raw fur production. The number of silver fox pelts produced during the season was 142,814 with a value of $4,782,562. The year previously 120,- 455 pelts were produced.

Prof. S. W. Brown of the De- partment of Animal Husnandry, Manitoba. gave some very good hints on vitamines and minerals in fur animal diet at a recent confer- ence of iur breeders. As diet is one of the most important matters in

l connection with a. fox ranch we are ., t taging the liberty of reprinting his address in part.

"Vitamins A is abundant in all green growing plants, also abund- ant in whole milk, butterfat and exceptionally strong in cod liver oil. Lack of Vitamins A seems to low- er resistance of the animal, caus- ing stoppage oi growth, stomach disturbances, diarrhoea, dischaig. of the eyes, etc. It is not concern- ed with growth but it is essentia., to growth and if deprived of it _ disease symptoms manifest them-‘ ‘" selves.

Iodine and Common Said-En- tirely too much has been said about l

iodine and the tendency is to use iodine in the rations of all animals to excess. We know definitely that where iodlzecl salt has been fed continuously, there has been no manifestation of goitre. In some of the worst goitre areas of Western Canada I know they have been feeding iodized salt for the last seven or eight years and they have not had any goitre, which I think is pretty good proof that there is a sufficient amount of iodine in lodlzed salt to take care of the needs for iodine.

Common Salk-We do not know what the correct intake is until more work is done along that line. There is a widespread belief that poultry and pigs cannot take very much salt, but recent work shows that a very high amount oi salt can be fed. About over one-half per cent of the diet of salt would take care of both needs of iodine and salt."
