pleasure to extend a cordial we!- come to the members and visitors attending the Ninth Annual Silver Fox Show, sponsored by the Silver Fox Ex- hibitors‘ Association.
Aside from its educational and advertising value, I, believe that the Annual Fox Show brings with if a spiril of pleasure. enthusiasm, and of satisfaction which is of in- eslimable value lo the rancher and lo {he dealer In furs, as well as a_ rich reward f0 the Fox Industry as a whole.
The superiority of Prince Edward Island fox pelts has never been queslioned and I unrlcrsland that the Ex- hibition of Ibis year u-ill contain some of the fines! ea- lzibits ever seen.
I trust that the Fox F’ m‘ of 1938 will achieve fhel success it deserves.

1 The exhibition has proved that ‘it is valuable to exhibitors and vranchers aside from cash prizes and so forth. In 1929 black foxes were still highly regarded and many beautiful specimens of blacks. extra dark. dark silvers and dark mediums were shown. The more silvery types were often covered with deep veiling and the narrow .bar was not frowned upon as it is Q today if the fox had other superior ' qualities. .
As the Americans commenced to make the wide bar and bright sil- ver fashionable. the vogue com- municated itself to the auctions 1n London and Paris and the fox breeders who had specialized in that type made their way to the top of the table.
It vms regarded as fortunate for this province that the P. E. I. fox exhibition had been established as otherwise this trend might not have been noted so decidedly and Islanders might have still been de- veloping the furrow bar and veil- ed silver to their prim detriment.

Show Proved l Big Success l From Beginning
Here's how the P. E. ffisilver Fox Show started: For xveral years prior to i929 there had been a movement ranchers to nave a PEI. fox show as there was none ixearer ihan the Royal Vvinter Fair a: Toronto at the time. "rm show was avail- able u; a limired number o.‘ breed- ers only because of die great ex- pense involved in exhibiting there.
Major A. S. Itz-berison of Mer- maid and J. Walter Jones of Bun-
‘bury. together with other interest-
ed parties took the mutter in hand in the spring of 1929. The govem- ment was n-aifed on and it was agreed to provide a number of crates. .
The Provincial Ebdilbition Associ- ation offered their building and grounds free of charge. As the re- sult of hard work of a strong com- mittee. everything was ready for the big show which was staged the latter part of October and the first week of November in. 1929. It was a success although the facilities for Judging were not very suitable and spectators caught only a fleeting glimpse of the judging table.
The next year a building. known as the Paton Pavilion, specially adapted for judging was built. It had accommodation for several hundred spectators. a proper judg- ing table, and a neutral light dif- fused over it form a large skylights directed above. Plans of the build- imz have been copied in several countries since as a basis for their Judging rooms.
The new building and the aura of suooes engendered from the previous year‘ brcught a record number of e1-*ies—over 600. Visi-
among FBI. fox‘,
and Jaimn. In 193i. distemper. the dread dis- ease Qf the fox world was ran".- ant. so the exhibrion was can- celled. Bu: in i932 the show was resumed and the number of en- tries reached the total of 712 - a world's z'ec:r:i fizurc. Banquet night was a feature for vhe first time. 1*. caught on so well that it has been continued over since.

Message ToFox Breeders
‘I 6 The Government, during the past year, has undertaken to build on the firm I 5 foundation established a yeur ago when we engaged the services of Mr. W. F. ll Burke as Field Mun, who has been in charge of a large number of Fox Study Clubs which were then organized. We have found this organization of substantial bene- li fit m drawing the ranchers together in a cooperative association, thereby stimulat- Q ing the industry to u very great extent. The Government this yeur secured the serv- l N ices of Mr. George C. Bishop, on expert pathologist, who mode an investigation A for infernal parasites in the ranches of members of our Association. The rancher u j ‘ will thereby be given an opportunity to irrudicufe these parasites from his ranch, - 0nd thus he will be saved considerable quantities of feed und be given an oppor- II ’ funify to place on the judging fable of the different exhibitions and field days u E very much higher standard of silver fox than he otherwise would have had. _._ l We were instrumental in bringing a number of corlouds of fox feed and hov- I ing if distributed to the ranchers of o lower price than they could have obtained ' ii elsewhere. We have now engaged a number of field men who will, during the next l"; month, visit lunches owned by members of our Association, grading their foxes for breeding purposes und fotooing some according to quality, so that anyone wishing w-i v to buy breeding stock may profit by the expert opinion of our field mun, Mr. Burke, iii and his associates in this work. We would earnestly ask the cooperation of uII
