ln the black fox breeding industry furnishes at the present time the brightest spot in the fur-ranclling business in New Brunswck. The im- proved outlook not only ls featured by the better prospects for silver blacks. but also includes higher prices and increased demand for other varieties of foxes.

Unusual activity in fox ranching in all part; of the province has bllli evident in the Dist fortnight. The improved outlook has resulted in many breeders, who allowed their ranches to dwindle during the worst of the depression, buying breeding animals in preparation for the com- ing ycer. peltng their beet fur- bearers for the market.

"1 think it would be impertlnent for me to discuss that,” he said. “Be. aids, 1 have too much work of my own to take a ‘hand in other people's business."

He viewed with interest white boxes filled with frozen turkeys from Manitoba and Saskatchewan as stevedores rolled them up for shlPmmt t0 Enelond aboard the Georgie.
