brought 525.70 per pelt and every other major mutation was worth more than the standard: on the market. For example. silverblus averaged :21; ceruleans over 332. Lutetias over :27. The facts are clear. Average mutations bring from :4 to :15 more per pelt than stand- ards. No one knows this better than the ranchers and that is probably the main reason why many of them are pelting their darks. In addition some ranchers contend that it is difficult to get higher prices for dqrk mink because skin buyers tend to be more critical of slight de- fects in dark than in mutations . . . . . . . Our own observation on the above is that there will always be a market for dark mink and if the big ranchers in the United States continue to decrease their production of dark mink it will be much to the advantage of Mari- time breeders.

A considerable increase in the production of mutation mink to gather with an estimated 10 per cent drop in the standard mink yield on Norwegian ranches is re- ported by Oslo Fur Auction. Ltd. the following are the cxpectl quantities for the coming auction season: Mink. standards - 129.000. pastels - 73.000: platinum - 39,- 000; 5;'IppllIf'CS - 5,000; whit". - 1000. Fox. blue - 30.000; silver and platina -- 20,000. The production of blue fox will run fairly close to last year's figures. Because of the demand for this item miiny breeders are expected to keep pups for brecdiiig purposes. thus cur- tailing the quiiiitity offered at auc- tion. Platina and silver fox breed- ers are said to be culling out poor animals in an effort to improve color and fur quality. In silver fox particularly, the frond favors dark- er shades. At the fi auction in Oslo Dec. 8-9. the following qualiti- ties will be offered: standard mink. 25,000 to 30,000; pastel, 8.000 to 10,- 000; platinum and sapphire, 7.000: blue fox 5.000; silver and plafinn. 2,000.

In contrast to the early part of these notes ll'llC.S pi'cd.ctioiis ucrc made that dark niink is not so iashionnble, there is a long iirticle in the October Black Fox Mazagine and Modern Mink Breed- er, New York. entitled, Fur Trade Optimistic on Outlook for Natu .il Dark Mink.

Canadian fur ranchers will pelt -16 per cent fewer foxes but 12 per cent more mink this scfison than in 1953-54, according to the Cunadiziii statistics Bureau forecast. The 1954- 55 pelt production from rnnch-rais- ed fox is estimated at 6.8000 as com- pared with 12,700 in the last sea- son, and from ranch raised mink at 758,600 ns conipzircd with 623,200. The higher mink yicld aiilicipatcd ior,195-i-1955 will result from an expected '75 per cent increase in pastel pelts to 204.600 from 117,100; an expected 32 per cent increase in other mutation pelts to 94,800 from 67,300, and an expected 28 per cent increase in platinum pelts to 139.300 from 109,100.

On the other hand, the produc- ion of standard mini: pelts is fore- cast at 257,600 -R drop of 22iper cent from 329,700 taken last sea- son. At the start nf this year there were fewer standard and platinum

FOR BETTER ' MILK

In recent years research scien- tists have given to the world a great array of synthetic materials. Among these have been a num-

by silk worms or coarse heavier duties; these have been spun and woven into fabrics that have replaced many insect. animal plant fibres. not only because some can be produced more cheaply. but largely because of their strength. weight. and resist- ance to wear. acids. electricity and chemicals.

Mr. John Whinfield. a British chemist. while working, during World War II. with an apparatus worth about 500. discovered that the sticky. plastic mess he madel developed into s lid fibre wheni cooled to 260 degrees C. or 500 degrees F. This material was' chemically known as polyethylene. terephthalafe. and, using the first. three letters of the last part of its. name and the last five letters of lhe first. part of its chemical name. he called it ”Terylcne".

Tcrylene is known as a versatile fibre, and after years of testing, the Imperial Chemical Industries of Canada. convinced that it will supply a growing demand for out- standing fibre materials. have noiv a twenty million dollar plant near- ing completion at Millhaven, On- tario, that will have a capacity of eleven million pounds of ”Tery- lenc" yarn per :ii.i.ium.

. . .

This new nizifcrial can be made into a greater variety of fabrics than most fibers, since it can be made in two forms that are physi- cally differcni, though they are idenlical chemically. When pro- duced in one form as a contin- uous thread. it has the feel of silk; and evening gowns, blouses and fine lingerie are warm and comfortable when woven from this yarn. They assume graceful, flow- ing lines when made from this niaicrial. This filament yarn will :he available in the denier range from 250 to 25 for heavy draperies to the most delicate lingerie.

In the other form. Terylcnc may be produced to appear much like sheep's wool as a staple fiber which can be spun into yarn. It then has a soft wool-like feel, and may be used for such apparel as socks. suits, co. is and sWeaicF5- 11 can also he used as fine knit- ling yarn for many purposes.

Canadian rlrcss designers have been experimenting with 'l"c-i'y10fI3 fiibrics of tliffcrenl. types: Vclvets. satins, taffetas and brocades made from suitings of the new fibre blended with wool as Well as thosc made of 10002; Terylene. A Canadian designer is quoted as saying: "Terylcne intrigues me because it has the value of a niui-Th more expensive fabric."

- . .

This glamorous material has Il- most three times the strcnillll Oi ivcmi: it is almost unstrelehablc and is durable for children's play suits and mcnis socks. It has a remarkable abillly to retain creases. and resists crushinx 111 mcn's and wonicn's clothes. Tory- lene does not readily crease ex- ccpt under extreme heat. Once ihe crease or pleat is applied, how- ever. in the proper place undeij controlled conditions, it stays 1” until the material has similar but and pressure applied to it again.

It is claimed that when cloth- ing is made and ”hcat set" bY the nianiifnctuicrs. the pleats and intentional creases will stay in- and that normal washings and iron- j mink on Canadian fur farms but more pastel and other mutation mink. However. more kits of all kinds except standard were rais-

Its runsrkable inertness to chemical action makes it very use- ful as a filtering material in the manufacture of chemicals and dye- stuffs. Being unaffected by bleach- ing ogcnts. it is useful for bags and covers in handling laundry.

Because Terylqne has a com- bination of both chemical and physical properties not found in other fibres, it will be particularly useful in a very wide variety of types of manufactured cloth. its resistance to sunlight and rot and its great strength when either dry or wet make it ideal for marine use in sails, hawscrs. ropes and lines.
