Bo many returned men in this ?rovince have made inquiries regard- ing the new pension procedure that tho Charlottetown Branch of the Canadian Legion decided to issue some information which will no CCllbt be of ipterest to the sic-service men in this Prouince whether mem- Lws of the Legion or not.
i: must be kept in mind that the Pension Act is still administered by the same Board of Pension Com- missioners and that the regulations that have been made by the Board in tiie past are still applicable. To ill intents and purposes the same ‘tiles governing pensionable disabil- lies, treatment and allowances to soldiers‘ dependants are exactly the same as in the past.
All applications for pensions must still be made to the Board of Pen- sion Commissioners in the first in- stance, and thzfBoard has still full power to grant pensions and if they do so nothing further remains to be done. Now however instead of refus- ing I- pension they refer the case to the Veteran's Bureau. This Bureau then discuses with the applicant the matter of bringing his applica- tion before the Pension Tribunal. This Tribunal consists cf nine mem- bers who work in pairs. Two mem- bers sittng as a court will deal with cases in the Marltlmes. They have been sitting in many of the towns in {he Ill-mixes during December and will be In Charlottetown shortly.

OTTAWA. Dec. Qil-Though the
bison is gone forever, and the beaver
and marten are slowly following,
Canada's fur trade appears to be in
no immediate danger of extinction.
The state of affairs of a century
ago when the value of fur exports
exceeded that o.‘ any other export,
has been vastly changed in the Do-
minica's march of progress. But in that era. the output has increased
tremendously and Government offi- cials here say Canada maystill be described as the last great fur pre- serve of the world. The forward strides made by the fur industry and the accompanying increase in exports might result in the fear that the source of supply is bound. for early exhaustion. But fur farming is now furnishing an even larger supply base to help meet the demands oi‘ milady for a. new wrap or neckplece. The ‘retail trade "hfiillliyed it? part by popularizing common and even previously despised furs, and by encouraging the use of domestic animal pelts. In this latter category are the rabbit and the pony. Fash- ion's heavy demand for furs, as well as weighing heavily on "Mr. Can- ada. s" pocket-book, are 11o lght mat- ter for the wild little fellow of the woodlands who must surrender his pelt.
A total of 5.150.326 pelts were offer- ed upon "Dame Fashion's" Canari- lan market-altar during the twelve months ending Jun; 30, 1929. Raw» furs exports during that period-the last one year span covered by Gov- eriunefit figures-died a. value of $24,181,208. Compare the exports of 1850, which were worth $93572 and some idea. may be gleaned of the im- portance of Canada's fur industry, as well as the immense expansion that has been recorded. The important role fur-farming has assumed in the industry is attested to by the fact that the value of pelts from ranch brozl animals now represents about l2 percent of the total yearly value of the Dominionls raw fur produc- tion. The fox has proved the most suited for domestication. Other branches of the fur-bearer family being succcssiuiiy raised in captivity include the raccoon, marten, iischer, muskrat, beaver and evcn the lowly skunk.

Increase
A slightly increased production oi eggs and poultry in the Province for 1930 as compared with the twelve months previous ll reported by lVlr. J. J. Leightizer, Manager of the Prince Edward island (Jo-operative Egg and Poultry Assoclatlon. The in- crease in volume. however. has been accompanied by a decrease of about 15 percent in value. The total value of the two oom- modities was estimated at $1,955,000 as against $2,214,000 for last year. The or: production Mr. Leightizer estimated at 5,100,000 dozens for 1930 ag ‘ ‘ 4,800,000 dozens for 1929. 1 0f the former quantity 2,530,000 doz- ens valued at $175,000 were exported. About 600.000 pounds of poultry were produced for consumption, with about one-half of that quantity, to the value of $406,000, exported. As usual the principal poultry ex- port was chickens. Turkeys were shipped only to other Maritime points. Due to a depression in price few geese were exported, practically all being used for home consump- tion. Live poultry shipments were great- ly restricted on account of the high American tariff, but Mr. Leightlzer believed that the Canadian market is rapidly assuming proportions which will absorb the offerings. I which previously went to United States. "Prince Edward Island is the lead- ing province in the production of milk-fed quality chickens," Mr. Lieightizer states. "While there is no

tendency here to run to commercial poultry farming. the average farm flock ls receiving better care and at- tention than formerly, as farmers are realizing that poultry-raising is one of the most stable lines of farming. While the price of most farm pro- ducts is depressed very considerably, in some cases dropping as much as 50 per cent or more below average, poultry and eggs are only ten to fif- teen percent below.
"One can scarcely credit the im- provement made in the quality of the products during the past year. Last year, for example, 25 percent of the turkeys were in the lowest grade, while this year only five percent were in that class." k
Due to the superior quality of the commodity Prince Edward Island farmers received higher prices than those of any other province of the Dominion, Mr. Leightizer states. Good chickens brought from 21c to 23c a pound, slightly below the price of last year, while turkeys brought 22c to 30c. Egg prices averaged about 28c a dozen, as against 3114c for lac-t year.
should take greater interest in the poultry industry as the fluctuations in the prices of the commodities are less than those in any other. To prove the value of the industry he cited the example of a lady who on December 11 marketed '17 turkeys, weight totalling 1.284 pounds, for which she received $376.
