THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN

" i TIMELY sores on TOPICS ' CONNECTED WITH

i Silver Fox Farming

The annual meeting of the Prince Edr-vard Island Fox Breeders‘ and Exhibitors‘ Asiociation will take place in the agricultural room at Prince of Wales College, Charlotte- town. at 1:30 p, m. (standard time) next Tuesday, June 18th. All mem- bers of the Association should be present and show an interest in this. the pioneer Fox Exhibitors‘ Association oi the Province. It has carried on a worthwhile work which has very considerably benefited all fox breeders by keeping to the fore the types of foxes best suited for breeding purposes. Even last fail when the fur market was in its most depressed slate the Vmhibi- lion was held and Splmdldly a!- tondcd. Having survived ilie in- digo days it is up l0 ur- ali to see it keep up the good work.

0n Tuesday, June 18th and fol- lowing days, the Canadian Fur Auction Sales Company, Ltd, 210 Lagauchetiere Street West, Mont- real, will hold an auction sale of furs, These will be on view Satur- day, June 15th and thereafter un- til sold.

Beaver Ind, Muskrat an the iiwe outstanding articles that the trade is partiCillilliy‘ interested in pur- Chasing at this time of the year 11nd present Sale collections of both these articles can be classed as ex- ceptionally fine in quality, section and grade. All other articles. which inre of a desirable character. con- liribuie in making a wcll-balanced ‘collection of Canadian raw furs throughout. Commenting on some of the principal items, we give you the following:

Beavcr—Unusually fine collec- tion, practically all fresh. Eastern Canadas of good quality and color. wiili a high ix-rcrniage o1 Extra Large and Blankets.

Muskrat dzlxcspiionally good. mostly Eastern Canadian Spring of giidti sizes and quality.

Mink, \Vi'lli-—»G0<>d for this time oi year, emibodying all sections, colors and grades.

Mlllib-RZIIICEI average collection, containing all types, colors and sizes.

Marten-Very good offering oon- taining skins from all sections.

Ermine-Mostly Eastern Cans- dians.

Red Fox-Major portion oi East-

olf-Good average collection, principally Western Canadians which contain a fair portion OI Pale selected skins.

Silver Fox—Desirable collection of pelts containing all color phases and grades, with a larger percent- age of Full Silvers than usual.

The Silver Fox Sale will be held Thursday. June 20th, and the of- fering consists of 8.730 pelts all in one section. We have no particu- lars regarding quality other than the above but we understand it is .1 good average collection so it will be interesting to see what they will hrlng as it will be some indication or the future trend of prices.

On Monday. June 11th. Liimpson, Fraser ck l-iutli, Inc, \\‘lii iiOiCi a. sale of furs in New York. Monday's offering will consist of silver fox, ranch mink and wild mink, follow- ed. by a variety of pelts of various animals the following days, The silver fox offering ls very small,» consisting of only 1,500 pelts. The ranch mink consists of 6,000 pelts.

According to Women's Wear. New York. fur buyers in some sections anticipate one of the biggest mid- summer fur sales in many years. 'lhcre is a ircinoiirlous industrial llCiil/lty’ in cerium scciions of the United States l't‘$ilitlllt{ frcin nu- llOllfii defence orders. Irving M. Rosenblatt and other retail fur manufacturing iurriers state "wiih plyffiils increasing and many of the iaigest employers 0i labor op- erating three sliifis on a twenty- iour lio.ir basis there should be a business this season." It would be too carly for us to make up our minds that this state of affairs will have any particular benefit for us silver iox ranchers, yet we these words will have the effeci oi giving encouragement to sonic of our brother ranchers who have been gcitiniz a bit panicky and of- fering their foxes at fldwlllollfily low prices.

What the status of the Norwetz- ian iox riinchci- tinder ucriiiun rule will be we have no niciliod o: telling, News from Norway is very difficult to obzain us the Germans impose a rigid censorship and also the Allies lt is not likely that Nor- wag-inn furs will be permitted to 3,l'i'i\'6 and be sold in the liniicil states next season as they did the past season. F01‘ one thing it would be like giving comfort to the enemy. because the wherewithal obtained would no doubt be beneficial to the Germans. Then. too, the AIIICS W111 endeavour to intercept My ship- ments cDming from Norway. as it is 101- war purposes, a belligerent country. If it proves to be true that Norwegian furs will not reach the American continent, with our quota of 58.300 irom: to the United States and a. large Canadian d9- mand, cicportable surplus will not be nearly as heavy as other years and can be taken care oi in South America.

In the matter o! the rationing of foxes at the eight Illustration Stations the operators, the report states. have been asked to maln- thhl certain DJOPOILIOUs of mixed meats and fish in relation to the amounts oi’ cereals used; in sum- mer not to reduce the combined weights of meat and iisi-i, or oi meats alone where fish is omitted, to less than one pound for every pound of cereals used. During the Fall where cklltioxis permit the meats are to b; increased by the Equivalent or any fish that may be removed, allowance being given even to increase the proportion to almost two pounds of meats to one of cereals. In the late {n11 and in the winter months, meats and fish, or meats alone, are required to be around two pounds for every Pound o! cereals used and to con- tinue in this proportion until the Duns are weaned.

You can add some grass with benefit to your fox ration from now on but in selecting the grass see that it is clean and not taken from a spot near the road where the dust falls on it.

You have often noted how a dog will make for s nice bit of grass and how iond horses and cattle are oi it, but be careful to add in small quantities at first as too much grass or the ilesh or est/tie that have been fed heavily on grass sometimes leads to digestive tr es in xea.

JACK-lN-TIlE-PULPIT

Do you remember earlier in these "Newsy Nature Notes" we “Tote about a strange plant that was call- ed "Skunk Cabbage?" Not only has it an odd name, but the whole plant was, you'll remember, of a very odd shape. Of course, the Skunk Cab- bages are all clone now. But if you go to the damp woods where all is shady and the rich black earth is always moist. you will find another plant which at first glance you will see bears a close resemblance to theSkunk Cabbage. This is the Jack-in-the-puipit.

But Jack is a much more interest- lns plant. Instead of crouching in the mud he holds himself high above the ground on a real stem. Above this are two branches, each bearing three pretty leaves. Below these leaves we find the flower. And here we see the true family likeness. The flower in the Jack-in-the-pui. pit plant is a fleshy hood very aim. iiar to that of the skunk Cabbage. d inside we find a. similar knob. standing up boldly in his canopied knob the hood curls in a graceful, Eli-W Way so that it requires very

little imagination to see the flower the similarity to a preacher standing up boldly in has aanopied

rostrum over-arched by the leafy

dome of his cathedral. Many of our

wild flowers are fancifuiiy named.

This plant looks just like a. “rever-

end “Jack" in the pulpit.

Perhaps you noticed how the

lowly Skunk Cabbage withered away s to an unsightly mess. Not so Jack! After he has bloomed in his pulpit for several days-a long sermon you s thmklgthe Pilipit‘. yvilts away and Jack ripcns nlo fruit. Jack is now far more gaudy than he was before. Upon the stem there develops a COIONd top of the richest snark-l, In the shady depths of the forest this little spot of color gleams like a tiny beacon, as though our lliiie preacher had lived up to the pre- PEDfi l0 "Irel- your light so shine" Few plants of the damp, dark 1pm»; have such beiiutzfully colored 11-111; as Jack.
