cakes extended along

as far as one could see either way; when re- turning this week, we passed ugh a field of scattered ice cakes near the centre of North- umberlsnd Strait. In the last ice report.for the season made last Saturday, Captain Shaw stated: (There still remains a strip of heavy, but old ice in the North- unsberland Strait running from Cape Egmont to Cape Traverse and Victoria and across to the (mainland coast." ed: "A string or' off the North shore . . . Approxi- mately two milu wide and rang- ed in area from one to five miles from the coast. The area cover- ed by ice is from Malpeque Bay to Trace ." On Friday, May 2, it was also reported: "That from the deck of the Borden-Tormerr tine Ferry. nothing but ice could be seen, in both directions in the Strait." All prospect of an early spring season is now past. The slow movement of Gulf ice from the North Shore and the Nmthumber- land Strait' has delayed ' conditions for the seeding of crops from a week to ten days later than was indicated a month ago. The north-east wind this week held the ice along the North Shore and produced damp, chilly conditionsithat have delayed work on the land. On May 3, fields were seen in several districts that appeared to be quite dry enough for harrowing, and would have quickly mellowed if worked during the early afternoon. Most fields, however, had damp areas, and though it looked as if some parts were dry and cnisting, thbsc would be better left for more fav- t " weather, before work is started. On May 6, work on the land had started on a few farms between Tea. Hill and Alexandra. and a field near Cross Roads was ready for seedin turnips for ear- ly market.

Improved Crop Prospects-

Crop pmspects have very de- finitely improved, and many new meadows have a very splendid stand of vigorous clover showiru: through the old grain stubble all over the fields, which can be seen from the highway. The grass has made a good start on the pas- tures snd meadows everywhere. The heavy snowfall of the past winter melted slowly and soaked into the ground with very little run-off. This should provide a splendid reserve of soil moisture later in the summer when it may be needed. The springs and streams. which are running full everywhere, indicate how abund- ant this supply of ground water is at the present time. Rainfall during April was 2.34 inches, A little more than half an inch be- low the average of 2.93 inches: but our sunshine was only 128.2 hours or almost an hour per day short

1952 is concerned. Tillage Problems

Every year the old problem of

when to start work on the land has to he decided. We know from our own experience and the re- cords kept by others, that the ear- ly sown cereals have given the greatest returns over a period of years, and generally ripen during better harvest weather than iat- er ” We believe wheat can be safely sown before either cats or barley. because it evidently came originally from what we speak of as winter wheat, which is sown in the autumn and is dormant during the winter; spring wheat also seems to benefit from a check by a snowfall or backward weather after it has made an early growth, which increases its tendency to stool and its yield. spring work should not start, however, before the soil is ready; but once it is ready, crops should be seeded as quickly as possible. A simple soil test that may be hclpfui in starting field work,- is to pick up a handful of soil from a section of the field that seems to be as damp as any, squeeze it tightly, and if it breaks up in a friable manner when you open your hand, then that field is ready to be worked. should a part of the field be worked before it is really ready, and show a tendency to be sticky, then further work on that section should be continued from time to time as it is drying out. until it is in good condition; if land is worked when too damp and left for several dry' days, it will bake and form clods that greatly lessen the fertility of the field for that season. The very great number of new tractors that are to be seen throughout the country' and at dealers' premises indicate that once the land is ready and the weather favourable, the 1952 crops will be seeded rapidly. There is the tendency, when the day is fine. to continue work started on large areas, which it may be im- possible to thoroughly prepare and seed before rain. We would again suggest that our farmers keep in touch with weather forecasts, and use their knowledge of local weat- her conditions, so that they may be able to complete the prepara- tion and seeding of each particular Job before the next heavy raha Land that has been well prepar- ed, then soaked by rain, will re- quire much extra work before it is ready again for seeding.

The number of pelts taken during the year was 7.479.000 as against 7.377.000 the year before. Mink was the princip- al fur prdduced, being valued at 814,618,000 compared with 310,677.- OOIJ in 1949-1950, followed by musk- rat at 36846000 compared with 831905.000. The other figures are, beaver. 9-i.2ti3,0ii0 compared with t:l305.000. squirrel. 81,943,000 com-: pared with s871,ooo, ermine, 3806.000 compared with 8934.000, white fox 8684.000. compared with 3167,0011 silver for including its mutations” 8675.000 compared with 0899.000, marten, 8539 000 compred with 3271000, and otter. 3374.000 com- pared with 3242.000.

Exports of Canadian raw furs in 1950-1951 were valued at s2il,iiB4,000i compared with 321,947,000 the year before, while the imports totaled 321,783,000 as against 816118.000. Mink. beaver, muskrat, squirrel. and fox were the chief export furs, while persian lamb, muskrat, min: and rabbit were the leaders among the imports. At Lampson, Fraser do lluth's sale last week in New York, most of the 402,722 muskrat were bought back only about 20 per cent being sold. Where sold the muskrst prices were unchanged compared to March levcls. Top prices were 02.43 for spring-winter New York state rate.

An offering of 7,154 standard male mink first and seconds, was' 20 per cent sold at Oslo, Norway, April 30th. The average price was 96 kroner (about 313.25). Attend- ance was small with British and Italians doing most of the buy- ing. 4129 mink females averaged 74 kroncr (about 810.36). Siiverbiu mink was 42 per cent sold averag- ing 132 kroner (about 81850) . . . There was a good demand for stan- dard mink at Lampson, Fraser 8: Huth's last week, 09 per cent of the 47,279 skins were sold. some surprise was registered over the large percentage or goods sold in view of the big quantities of mink absorbed in New York and else- where during the .past several weeks. Top price for males was 827.50, top price for females was 314.50. both from the Puget Sound collection. This was largely a deal- ers' sale. They did the largest share of the buying after having passed up many of the standard auctions in the past several months. Most everyone agreed that i'emsles"were in particularly good demand and consequently were quite strong.

The annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Fur Breeders Assoc- iation will be held in the Vocation- al School. Charlottetown, at two olciock on the afternoon of Tues- day, May 27th. All ranchers both mink and silver fox. should plan to attend this meeting at which will be discussed matters of inter- est to all. While the number of fur farmers has decreased in the past few years yet there is still a very considerable number of for ranch- ers and quite a large number of mink ranchers who have faith in the fur industry and no one knows how quickly the picture can change. You have only to think back to the spring of 1940 when silver for hit

Our own ranch disposed of some 1,600 pelts at an average of 315. A few years later (1945) we were sell- ing platinum foxes for as high as 8220 at auction and averaging well over 3100 for 130 platinums, nnd averagu of :50 for silvers. through the Canadian National Fox Breed- ers Association, that disposed of the pelts in Montreal. As we men- tioned some time ago. it would only take the least effort on the part of retailers in the United States and Canada to bring back silver fox as the available supply is very small and will continue to

Russian sable is not emu-lg the seven missian furs banned by Pres- ident '1'rums.n's proclamation. This was the clarifying statement of the Federal Trade commission in New York. The seven banned furs arc ermine, fox, kollnssy, mink. musk- rst, weasel and marten.

An appeal is being made through the press in Louisiana for help to foster experiments to-discover what is causing the death of muskrsts in that state. in the appeal occurs the following: "We feel that it is I terdble mistake to let Louisiana's fur industry die from neglect. With proper care muskrst pelts alone could be made to bring the state 610 to 320 million a year. The best season in the past ten years was 1945-46 when more than 315,000,000 was paid to about 20,000 trsppers.

The total number of fur farm- ers ln the United states, according to the listing of the National Board. is 5,924, with Wisconsin having the largest number - 1326. Michigan is next with 539, followed by Minn- esota with 537, Illinois, 348, New York, 299, Pennsylvania, 256, Utah, 234 and the remainder scattered among other states.

According to the new regulations of the British Board of Trade, any fur piece or coat with a wholesale price higher than 816.20 is subject to 100 per cent purchase tax. Fur-

ed surprise over the new regula- tions snd said they felt it would just about kill British fur busines. It was pointed out that the old utility level for fur costs at whole- sale was about :84 with a tax of 3355 per cent applicable to furs in the utility class and 100 per cent on those above this figure. Bringing the utility level down to 318.20 just about eliminates every type oi fur and places them all in the 100 per cent category, it is said.

France, which was the best buyer of silver for and where thousands of visitors bought silver for made has placed an embargo on imports of all raw furs. This nnouncenient was made February 19th when it was indicated that the ban affect- ed au goods except those already in transit, The opinion is held in some quarters that the ban is I tempor- ary measure which may be mod- ified with the establishment of per- manent controls later on.
