Modern Problems In Fox Industry

Time HasArrivedForReadjustment

' Of Viewpoint On Part Of Local Breeders a Suggests Prominent -

Rancher. lBy B. Graham Rogers. Summer- side, 9.11:1.)

In these days in the Sliver Fox Business it is pretty hard to make any statement and be absolutely sure that, "on the average,” that stateme ‘ is absolutely correct so, therefore, if you will, please ac- cept what I have to ray as being my own personal belief. Think these questlo over very carefully and decide for yourself whether you be- lieve the same as I do.

A Great World Industry

I believe that the Sfver Fox bus- iness is so large today that the timg has now arrived for us to base our operations on general trends and tendencies rather than on in- dividual cases such as we did in years gone by.'As far as I am con- ‘carried personally, r find it ditilcult sometimes to really grasp the en- tire extent of the Silver liox bus- iness as it is throughout the world today. In other words, it is some- times difticult to get away from our purely local surroundings and visualise what is taking place in this very large industry. We know that, today, Prince Edward Isfand produces riot over fifteen per cent of the total world annual supply of Silver m: pelts. Probably this statement may come as a real shock to aolne breeders here in this

e than little:

Province, but, nevertheless, it is a fact. However, there is one redeem- ing feature, namely, that the fur trade of the world still prefers to

have Prince Edward Island pelts,

er paid $500 for one of the grand champions.

ago, our show has grown in size and importance every year. Shaw, secretary of the Silver FOX Exhibitors’ Association laid yester- day. tract a large number of breeders from the rest of Canada. Edward Island still has the finest strains of silver fox."

Entries for flowing in from every part of the Island. Dr. A- B. Teacles of Sussex, NIB" the only New Brunswick entry last year was expected to ssnin be represented.

Two big store windows full of glittering silverware,‘ cups and med- als offered tor competition went on display in Charlottetown today. There are 17 championship trophies and more than $3,000 in cash awards.

The exhibition was started as an

experiment in i929, Mr. Shaw ex- plained. It was enthusiastically re- ceived by the ranchers and the fol- lowing year the association received 750 entries. ‘ Then competition became keener and keener. Breeders showed great discrimination in vixens for show purposes. A fox distemper epidemic in 1931 preven- ted an exhibition being held in that year but it came back strong in 1932-

and many actual dealers and man- ufacturers have told me that pelts from Prince Edward Island seem to dress out better, and they have less trouble with them during the manufacturing process than they do on the average with pelts from other parts of the world. Market Tendencies

This article must. necessarily, be brief, and s0 I will come directly to the several points which today stand out the most pronounced in this business apart from the actual marketing end of the industry. The marketing end of the business, if gone~into in detail, would take a special issue of the Charlottetown Guardian alone to tell it all. The first startling point is. that it has become quite noticeable at auction sales in New York, Montreal, Lon- don and Paris that, on the aver- age, the necks and foreshoulders of Silver Fox pelts are becoming weaker, and there is a great danger in store for the industry if this tendency is allowed to become worse. Therefore, this is one thing that we, as breeders, must pay par- ticular attention t0 in the future. Another tendency which is showln; up is that a larger percentage of pelts are pale silvers and of a more

chalky colour than heretofore. This shows the absolute necessity. of

keeping some of our very best dark males for breeding purposes, and I am convinced that it is only a matter of a very short time before the black and extra dark classes at the Fox shows will be collslder- ed equally as important u the

Extra. Pale Silvers, or even more so. Every breeder of Silver Foxes in the Province of Prince Edward Island should keep these two points in mind more surely than ever be-

agaln very, very carefully.
