l We are glad to be able to pres- l cnt to our readers an address de- l llvered by Dr. W. E. Russell at the "annual meeting of the Canadian Na- tional Silver Fox Breeders’ As-

i Various fur farming organizations l have from time to time invited him to address them so it is with con- fidence that we give you the re- sults in compact form of his 1x- perierices ovcr a period of ycars., The address will be published in: two part5 --- part one today imdl i part, two next Saturday.
