EVERY PART 0FPR0llINOE

600 Or More Prime ‘ . Black Beauties To

Be Exhibited.

(Canadian Press)

f Breeding stock purchasers from different parts of the Dominion will be attracted to Charlottetown by what is billed as “the greatest silver fox show in the world.” Prince Edward Island, birthplace of the silver fox industry will parade 600 or more of ranchers’ best speci- mens and the black beauties that win s`ilver cups big enough to jump into are bid' for by fox farmers anxious to improve their stock.

Last year an Ontario buy- er paid $500 for one of they

grand champions,

“From a small beginning si! YW-YS

ago, our show has grown in size and importance every year," Walter shaw, secretary of the Silver For Exhibitors’ Association said yester- day: "It will as in other years at- tract a large number of breeders from the rest of Canada. Prince Edward Island still has the finest strains of silver fox." ~

Many Exhlblian

Entries for the exhibition were

flowing in from every part of the

Island. Dr. A- Teacles ‘of Sussex, NB., the only ew Brunswick entry last year was expected to again be represented.

Two big store windows full of

glittering silverware, cups and med- als offered for competition went on la Charl ttetown tod

disp y in o 21'- Thero are 17 championship trophies and more than $2,000 in cash awards.

The exhibition was started as an

experiment in 1929, 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 choosing their vixerus for show purposes. A fox distemper _epidemicin 1931 preven- ted an exhibition being held in that year but it came back strong in 1932.

Educational Value '

"The big advantage of the show,"

said Mr. Shaw" is in its educational value. Breeders have .an opportun- ity to lea.rn the fine points of fox farming by watching the Judging and they are able by observation to make their own selections. The ex- hibition has been a very potent in- fluence in the distribution of im- proved breeding strains and oners

breeders establishing ranches. '

George Callbeck, past president of

the Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders’ Association, Bummerslde, will be the Judge.

Paradlng the valuable furry crea-

tures before prospective buyers and the public is s far cry from the early days of the industry when ev- ery move wss made in secret and high board fences surrounded ranches. ‘

A feature of fox week in Char-

lottetown will be the annual dinner of the Silver Fox Exhibitors' As- sociation. Tuesday evening in .1 lo- cal hotel.

a measure of protection to new`

Old fox landmarks are being ob-

literated by the march of time. 'I‘he most. recent to change hands is Union Vale Farm which is being purchased by James Maund. the present manager, from the McLure and MacKinnon Bllver Fox Fa/rms, Limited, '

The property consists of 138

acres of land, 86 under cultivation, with excellent buildings. and Mr. Msund is to be congratulated on securing such a fine property. However. what we started out to say is that it was once one of the most highlv capitalized silver fox farms in this provision In the year 1014 the late J. Stanley Wedlock organized the Canada Atlantic 1“~ V01' F03 UOUDBHY. ¢8l>ital. $1,000.* 000. and large blocks of the stock were taken by wealthy men in Upper Canada and the U. S. A.

A very fine ranch was built in

the wooded part, the pens being fifty by fifty with separate male pens for each breeding pen. lt was stocked with forty pairs of foxes and Ray Clark was installed as manager. It was a success as far as production was concerned, but the drop in prices due to the war made it a non-dividend payer and ‘after some years continuance the remaining shareholders were bought out by Mr. Wedlock.

On Mr. Wedlock’s departure to

the U. B. A, the property was sold and purchased by McLure and MacKinnon, who conducted a ranch there until 1931 when it was considered more economical to operate as one unit at Vimy Ranch. Prior to the sale to Mr. Maund most of the pens had been dismantled and the wire and material moved to Vimy Ranch.

We need hardly remind our

ranchers that Monday is Classifi- cation Day i.n the Main Building at the Provincial Exhibition grounds, Charlottetown. Hundreds of foxes will be arriving from all parts of the province for the big show. Judging will start Tuesday morning at nine o'clock. The building and judging room are in top shape for the fray, everything clean and well arranged, with some 560 crates ready to receive the silver fox beauties.

The other evening I ran into my

friend Dan Jenkins and he asked me if it was true that we were go- ing to pelt some foxes and I said. "Yes, Dan. it is not only true but it is an accomplished fact. We pelted thirty this morning. They were the most advanced ones and although a. bit blue I believe they will command fairly good ' prices and should average around $60." On retuming to the office I looked up the year 1933 and found that we had forwarded 62 pelts to Hudson’s Bay Company, London, by express, October 26th. They were killed on the 15th of October. One fetched £38, the highest price that' fall. and others brought £31. £30, £28',§, £28, £27, £26 and lesser amounts. The average of the 62 was $74 net.

I am not writing this to advocate

wholesale pelting of foxes early in the season. I have found from ex- perience that it does not pay, but \there are exceptions such as when a fox is heavily furred and he shows signs of breaking across the back and you are afraid of him going off color. When that situ- ation confronts you it may be just as well to pelt.

Borden Fox Show will be held

on Tuesday and Wednesday, No- vember l9th and 20th, and will be open to registered and un- registered foxes ranched within the province. Substantial cash prizes as well as other valuablei

prizes including trophies, ribbons. fox feed‘supplies, etc., will be awarded the winners. Captain John L. Read is the President and E. 0. Bell, Secretary. Those inter- ested should get in touch with the Becreta.ry‘ who will be glad to for- ward copy of prize list.

Mr. E. H, Monkley, summerside.

and _ Stephen Taylor of Little Bhemogue, N, B., have been ap- pointed Judges ior the Borden Fox Show, November 19 and 20.

The first of the fall silver fox

auctions will be held at the Hud- son’s Bay Company auction room on November 18th. This sale will consist largely of Norwegian skins and wild caught Canadian skins. The Norwegian season is about a month earlier than ours and they usually monopolies the November London auctions, their furs being mainly marketed through 1-Iudson’s Bay, Frederick Huth & Company and Lsmpsons. The next sale will be December 10th and there should be quite a number of Canadian skins on that auction. The last re- ceiving date for either auction will be nine days previous to the sale.

The l’9P0rt of the autumn fur

auction of the Hudson's Bay Com- pany for furs other than silver fox which was held on the first and third of October, 1985, has arrived. The Company say: "Our offering consisted chiefly of an excellent collection of fresh skins from all Canadian districts, together with several choice parcels of Russian goods and a rather stale collection of Scandinavian furs. In view of the unsettled state of political sf- falrs in Europe and the slackening which had been noticeable for the past month in the American de- mand, it was expected that satis- factory competition would be lack- ing. Such was not the case. The home trade supported nearly every article. France was well represent- ed, while German buyers with freshly granted credits. were able to bid for the furs associated with their needs. American interest was keen in lynx, and extended, but with greater regard for price, to cross fox.”

The above report is printed in

eight languages, evidence of the wide distribution of furs sold by the old company.

From the above optimistic report

we may very safely assume that there will be a-corresponding good demand for silver fox and that is hear-toning to us all. Believing that we as fur farmers should know what is doing with other peitries we are publishing results of a number of classes of furs sold at the above sale.
