i TIMELY NOTES 0N TOPICS CONNECTED WITH

Silver Fox Fanning

Art- Dovie. formerly of Victoria. now a leading fox rancher of Win- liipeg, was in charge of the Cana- dian National Silver Fox Breed- QFS’ Association's Manitoba pelt receiving station. This is the first season it. was in operation and it was quite successful and is expect- ed to be a permanent institution.

More than two hundred new fur fni'ms have been established in Western Canada between August ist, 1936 and January 15th, 1937. Alberta has the largest increase with Manitoba a close second. Sil- ver fox is the choice of many, but the probability is that a count of ,hea.ds would show considerably more mink ranches than fox. No doubt the tremendous increase in the prico of mink <25 to 33 l-3 per cent) in November and December influenced many.

Hon. J. S. McDermsJd, Minister of Natural Resources in Manitoba, speaking at the annual banquet of the Furriers Guild of Manitoba It Winnipeg recently, asked for the support of the fiirrlers and said that there should be another mil- lion dollars worth of muakrat pelts produced in the province. "Win- nipeg", said he, "handled four mil- lion dollars worth of furs this sea- son". He appealed for the comp- eraiion of his audience in maln- tainlng the supremacy of its fur markets.

At the same banquet “Norway's challenge to Canada in silver fox fur production" came up for dis- cussion. Speakers agreed that "it was a great problem,” and Art Doyle, President of the Manitoba Fox Breeders‘ Association, said: "Norway ls giving us great com- petition and their people are going after the European markets with fur called "Norwegian". Last year Norway produced as many foxes as Canada did. Their furs are sent to London by aeroplane and reach there sis weeks before ours do. The situation is a great problem."

C, D. Lang. Editor of Fur of Canada. declared that our country has many advantages over Norway in food and climate to meet the

challenge. Thcrc is room for both countries in the European mar- kets, hc said.

Frank F. Tuplin. formerly of New Annan. now residing in British Columbia, has a leading article in February Canadian Silver Fox and

l‘ Fur entitled. "Improved Quality in

h’

v Vi}? Bald/M; i

P,’ ‘X11 Stu: '

Silvers. Chief Need". It seems to the writer that cver_v fox paper I pick up is harping on the some subject. and if memory serves me right I have heard almost, identic- ally the same opinions expressed as to thc desirability of raising high quality foxes and getting clear of poor ones. rvcr since the indus- try got on a production basis.

It would seem from the remarks of those who lecture us that they

‘are OK. themselves-that is pro-

duciiu: the quality article — and that the rest of us poor simpa nccd scolding and lecturing be- cause of our inability to breed all “Lops" or “ncar-tops." Doesn't the Scriptures say-"Thc poor ye al- ways have with 3'0?"

Supposing that. every ranchci‘ was producing the kind of pelts that. they say we should produce. then the people that have the coin would not be interested be- cause all the fox pelts would look alike or nearly alike. 1t is the fact that some are outstandingly beautiful that make them sought, alter by people of wealth.and they command big prices. The fact that they do command big prices ad- vertises thc product and carries along the less desirable pelts as s. marketable product for those who cannot afford to pay the big prices.

Reason will tell us that the world's production of’ silver fox pelts estimated at six hundred to seven hundred thousand skins. cannot be sold under present con- ditions (with Germany and Italy out of the picture) at high prices. What hos helped the market ro- ccntly is the extraordinary conic- back of the South Amerlcancbun-

tries. Thenrgentine is having a

regular boom and it is one of the

richest countries in the world. Its

next. door neighbor, Brazil, is also, improving financially with giant‘ strides, and it is potentially sorich

in resources that it is looked upon

together with Rusia, Canada and

South Africa as the four great

(practically) untapped sources of

wealth.

In South America thers are - many aristocratic and cultured families, people of wealth and fashion, who are great spenders when they have it. They were for years the backbone of the Parisian trade and are now once again vis- iting that city in numbers and helping to absorb the great num- ber of silver fox pelts which go there.

Pu: Age Weekly has the follow- lng interesting comment on an exhibition given by a. deft furrier at the Milligan and Morrison Fox Breeders’ " _, held in New York last moritm-"The ranchers and their wives fairly gasped as they saw Jonas Welnlg take a sound silver fox pelt, turn it hair down, so that for all the world it might have been a rabbit skin or a roar-mot, since the other side of the pelt is so much leather. that and nothing more, and, without prayer or rite, proceed to slash it almost into ribbons.

Then a fur operator took over the proceedings and sewed up the wounds. The process to furriers is known as letting-out ii skin to make its shape longer and narrow- er without essentially chiinging the , character of it. After it was sew- ,

_ ed up the ranchers breathed with 1

relief. They saw a silver fox skin once more. its shape was changed. It was now ideally shaped for a scarf. Then there was a. proces- sion of comely ladies wearing sli- ver fox scarves. capes, jackets. boas, coats and wraps, an inspir- ing sight and a testimony to the‘ art and skill of the funiers‘ craft.

I have seen all kinds of skins cut and shaped and manipulated in the various shops around town, but somehow I got a kick out of this by watching the ranchers’ faces. Maybe I was taking an in- ward pride in our furriers‘ skill. sort of showing off. sort oif infer- ring to the rancher that though he raises the animal that furnish- es the peli, it's no go without a steady hand holding a sharp knife that starts the pelt off to a gorg- cous journey, winding up the priz- ed possesslon of somebodys gal."

their progress. These northern friends o! ours with the same Nordic blood as we have, are far

from asleep. They seem to go

into any venture wholeheartedly and never rest until they get to the bottom of it.

There are three kinds of for farming that a/wait the skill of the breeder to successfully “ and make a commercial success. One of these-Russian sable-is now making steady progress in Kam- chatka. Ttic Russian. Government will not allow any pelts to bcsold, and we presume that almost cvsry animal born is kept for breeding purposes.

miinchilla, almost equally ll I- pensivo as Russian sable, is being ‘ esticated in California and an- other part of the United States. One of those claiming to be mak- ing a. success of it is J. P. Duflua. New York City, who has many friends and connections in this province, of which he is a native. Whether the chinchilla that is be- ing farmed is the rare Peruvian high-priced variety or not wecan- not say, but it is meeting with quite a sale at $3.000 a pair for breeding purposes.

Fisher is the third member of the trio referred to, and although the price of a fisher pelt is not in the class with sable or chinchilla. yet it is good enough to tempt a lot of experimenters. We might add a fourth fur-marten-to the list. No one so far has successfully domesticated them.

The Hudson's Bay COmlJB-IIY 5"" ver fox sale opens Monday niom- ing at ten o'clock. and it will take two or three days to dlsl>°~5e 0i their offering. Higher prices are looked for than in January.

In our notes of some weeks ago we mentioned where Dr. A. K. Cnmeron of Saskatchewan, was visiting the province. Mr. Hodg- iion quotes him as an authority on fisher farming and gives Dr.Cam- alien's experiments in the breeding of fisher, which he first took up some eight or ten years ago. He appears to have been the most. suc- cessful breeder that we have any record of. At present there are fisher being domiciled on theilud- son's Bay Company's ranch at Birds Hill.
