Eighty per cent of the present anch mink production of Swed- In is being exported to the Unit- ..1 states, Great Britain, Switzer- mcl and other countries. In 1050 in! exports from Sweden to the Ilnlted States exceeded 53,000,000. About 160.000 mink are being pro- iuced each year there in addition :0 some 36.000 silver foxes- and mum. 25,000 blue fox. Mink has proved to be the best investment. there. are about 2.000 persons em- pIoySCl by the Swedish fur indust- ry which began to assume import- mce about 26 years ago. In order; to insure fair prices the Swedish Fur Breeders Association, to which 1,200 out of the total of 1,600 farms belong. formed a semi-co-operative association for auctioning their mode. That was in 1935 and they have continued it ever since.

The Canadian For Auction Sales company (Quebec) I.td., had a large attendance of buyers at their sale last week. The catalogue of beaver showed some 19,681 skins of all types. New York deal-

ers were the principal buyers of the estimated 35 per cnt sold, some of the better types went to

Europe. Top price was 3413. Black beaver from Northern Ontario sold from :36. to 340.50. 1.750 oth-' er skins were 70 per cent sold. top price &l.50.

More than 18.100 of Albertans, beaver are earmarked for the fur, coat market this year in a govern-' ment program to keep the dam-I building animals in equilibrium be- tween the harm and the good they do. Beaver have been heavily pro- teciod for ten years and are now flourishing in most parts of the

Province so under a conservation scheme 911 permits have been is- sued to Alberta farmers allowing

them to trap varying numbers of beaver on their lands. Beaver farming was tried out some thirty years ago in this Province by the late J. D. Jenkins and quite a number were raised in captivity. It was also tried out in other parts of the Province but as. the fox business offered greater rewards then nobody really gave the mat- ter much attention. one would have to be in beaver farming on a big scale in order to make it worthwhile.

An editorial in the latest Black Fox Mnsazine and Mink Breeder has the foilowing:- "Mink breed. ers have already marketed more lhtm three-quarters of the 1950 crop in one of the most prosper. ous years in the history of ranch- ing. There are many indications that the prosperity of this season will extend over into the next.

i'rhe month of June will see the

last of the large offerings at auc. tion from the two large dark mink marketing associations. probable stocks in first hands will be com- pletely exhausted long before the i95i pelts come to market next December. ' . .

Natural dark mink have sold well and so have different popu- lar mutations. At a New York City auction the later part of May darks sold up to 068. Only once this season has that price been beaten -that was earlier when a This demonstrates. the same as last year. that the popular trend of rushing pelts to market for the December sales in not always as profitable as many breeders be- lieve. We have always advised the small breeder not to diversify his mink herd with more than one mutation. Darks are still the bread and butter' mink for all ranchers. Emphasis should be placed on breeding quality and not variety. The May sale showed that fine darks can make an ex- cellent profit some bundles selling for far more than the poor- or quality mutations. The new kits have now arrived and it's up to the rancher to bring them up to mature fine furred mink. Ample feeding. watering and proper care will have much to do with them- portant initial growth,

Fox breeders.in this Province are reminded that the danger from parasites always exists and foxes should be given periodical examination for earmites and fleas. Treatments for both these pests are well known. Internal parasites should also be given their share of attention and all Pups should be dosed with eight minim Nema capsules right away. Later on in September both adults and pups should be dosed with g 16 minim-Nema's. We have found this practise ..n excellent one over the years. The fox business has got down to bedrock and Prince Edward Island new con- tains the best quality animals in the Dominion of Canada, if not in America. It may be a very prom- able thing for those having this quality stock to take care of their herds as when the industry take; a turn for the better people will be m-Ir-ins I trek to the Garden of the Gulf as they did in the years gone by.

o-u-an-be Selecting A Farm It has been estimated that the, average farm in Canada changes from one owner to another three times in each century. Thus in every generation the problem of selecting farm land for rent or purchase has been one of the farmer's major problems. The above estimate may seem a lit- tle high for Prince Edward Is- land. where many farmers live to a ripe old age. but when so many of the farms are .trans- ierred to a son or near relative. it. may not be far out. The farming industry has developed a great many different lines of work, with a tendency to segre- gate into communities. or groups for mutual benefits in securing supplies and marketing produce. These are spoken of as dairying or fruit districts. grain growing or ranching areas. poultry raising or seed growing, with each farm, however. consisting of a home- stead with the necessary build- ings for the type of work carried on and enough land to produce the crops needed. What should one look for in selecting a future home and in securing farm land that will return a reasonable revenue from the investment? A few general principles are sug- gested in this article, which we hope will be some help to those who are troubled with this im- portant problem.

Importance Of choice

i It is the most importantrdecision, in connection with your business that you have to make and second only to the choice of your life helpmate. Take your own time in selecting a farm. Do not let any circumstance or person hurry your decision. when possiblegvisit any farm that you propose to buy at! several different seasons of the i year. Go over it very carefully each time and make notes on the featur- es that appeal to you and those that fail to meet your requirements. if possible or convenient arrange to work on the farm or in the neighbourhood so that you may study the advantages and dis- advantages of the farm and the locality for your own special pur- pose. Eve-ry farm must be judged on its own merits and on its con- dltion at the lime of purchase. Many farms have been heavily cropped without being adequately tmanured or cultivated. stimulat- ing fertilizers may have been used (soil mining best describes the practice) and then sold on the record of their preforinance dur- ing the period. The man'who buys on that basis starts his business under a very heavy handicap.

The Location

It is taken for granted that in the choice of the particular com- munlty you are prospecting for I suitable farm that you have in- vestlgated and satisfied yourself that the season, rainfall. sunshine and climate generally are suitable to the type of rarmms yqu plan to follow. That the region is healthy and reasonalbly free from pests and insects that are inil-lF10i!5 or annoying to 0904313! 01' in" main. That you avoid locations sutbject to late or early frost: and that the "frost free" period is 1008 enough so that all Your crof3l' W111 mature. That you are near enough to business houses and markets for your purpose. That there is a satisfactory school and church for your family. and that other com- munity EKfCn'I-ISIS, such as I. re- liaable family doctor. nurses. itl'Id9' men and labourers near. That the mall. telephone, telegram Ind radio services are available or within easy reach. That the roads and highways are suitable and good of their kind, and that ship- ping facilities by water or railway are either adequate or that they are about to be constructed. That the purchase of the farm is a good business investment and that the community has a bright future.

Whgt To Look For.

You alone know lust. what you are looking for. Every firm 1-lOlM'E to the children. and the character of the community is more important than profits from that standpoint. The innumerable types of farming and farms places a detailed description of any one farm outside the same 01 I-N5 article. Always make sure that the deed is unincumlbercd. If there is any question have a competent lawyer make a search of the title. Look for fertile land or land that you know can be made fertile by the investment of money. H50"? and skill. To the average man this is the most important point of all. Specialists can farm special soils. '

What To Avoid

Do not buy land undcr dispute as to title or boundaries. Stay away from a backward community un- less you wish to act as a mission- ary and have the gift of leader- ship. The people make the place, and the one who iniroduces new had a hard row to hoe. Avoid steep hillside unless you wish to grow forest trecs, and poorly drained land un- less you have the capital to im- prove it. Never buy land because the auctioneer says it is cheap. Avoid land that contains swales. large uotumrps or many large stones, as these are costly to fill or re- the present price of labour. Do not make the mistake of buying more land titan you can
