The annual meeting Canadian National Silver Io: Breeders’ Association was held in the Lsurentian Hotel, Montreal, on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Among those in “ ’ were Lt-Col. D. A. Mscliinnon, President; Arthur M. Doyle, Win- nipeg, Vlce President; Thomas D. Carruthcrs. Secretary; V e r n o n Matthews, Treasurer; George A. Callback, Manager Fur Marketing Department. all of Summerside. Directors, H. A. Doraty, Quebec; Dr. W. E. Russell. Dr. LR. Bow- nws, lL-loyd Pollock, (Intsrlo; Cy- ril B. Sherwood. George Mac- Leod, New Brunswick; D.O. Stew- art. Gordon MacMillan, E. H. Burieigh, Robert Humphrey, Prince Edward Island; Harold Jenkins, Alberta: Walter Lusby, Amh st. N. S.; AP. McVannell and Thomas Hitchmsn. Records Branch. Otta- wa: L. J. Sin-lard. Quebec. ‘ _

The report to the Directors showed s considerable curtailment in members, registrations and transfers. The total number of registrations for the year was 2,- 545. The provincial organizations of Ontario, Prince Edward island and Saskatchewan received grants offered by the Association in pro- motins live fox shows. The re- port of the activities of a special committee submitted by D. O. Stewart gave a very excellent ac- count of the methods taken to advertise silver fox and particu- lars regarding the fox garments displays shown at international trade fairs in Milan and Toronto. Field work was done and a cer- tain number of foxes after exam- ination wcre given advancecl- reg- istry. Fcx pelts marketed during the year totalled over 4,500 and a number of mink pelts were also marketed.

The financial report audited by Morrell d: Company. Chartered Accountants. was carefully gone over by the Directors. showed that the company is in a good financial position. The annual meeting was held on Tuesday and similar reports to those given to the Directors were read by Sec- retary T. D. Carruthcrs and treas- urer Vernon Matthews. Lt-Col. D. AfiMacKinnon p. sided. At the opening in the morning Mr. J. Edward Lyle. Municipal Coun- cillor of Montreal, stated that he had been sent by Mayor Houde to tender to the Association his best wishes for n happy stay in Montreal. He regretted that he could not personally attend owing to so many engagements. but trusted all the members would enjoy themselves to the fullest. The president thanked Councillor Lyle and asked him to convey to Mayor l-Ioude the thanks of the Association for his good wishes.

Also present was fvor W. Bog- gis. correspondent for Fairchild Publications, New York. who was compiling a report for Women's Wear Daily. Mr. L. J‘. Simard. Superintendent of Fox Farms for Quebec. was present and on be- half of Premier Duplessis gave welcome to the Association. He also extended sn invitation to have the next annual meeting held in Quebec City. introduced also was Dr. J. N. L. Coutoure of the Health of Animals Branch. Ottawa. He was representing Dr. Childs, Veterinary Director Gen- eral. Dr. Coutoure said that Dr. Chllds was taking s keen interest in diseases of fur bearing animals and his department was formu- lating specific procedures to deal with " ’ Captain G. W. Douglas of the Export Division Trade and Commerce Department spoke at length on foreign trade and the difficulties met with to- day by exporters due to the vari- ous currency problems. He evi- denced some ~csses where barter had been resorted to to move pro- ducts snd perhaps such s course might be open to the fox ranch- ers. He would be very pleased indeed to do anything in his power and that of his department to facilitate the movement of furs to countries that would receive them.

At the afternoon iession Wil- liam Ritchie, Chief Dominion Fur Grader. gave n vivid description of the recent International Trade Fair at Milan, Italy, which was attended by millions of people. lie said the Canadian fur garments display made up of silver fox and mutations and mink and muta- tions was perhaps the most pop- ulsr exhibit of all. The gnrmelits could have been sold hundreds of times but that was against the regulations. He said there was no question but that s great poten- tial market eirists in Ital! and other European countries if we could surmount the currency har- riers. l-le stated that the Imperial

decided to clear out tbs Canadian fur section as through age and ravages of time it was not st- trsctiva and they would be very . . . .. s m '. m.“ with fresh silver fox and muta- tion pelts and mink pelts. A mo- tion was immediately put through authorising the _ Association to lend belts of the best quality to London as quickly as possible.

Fvllowins Captain Douglas’ n. marks there was s discussion on bartersnd other means of dis- lwling of larger quantities of sil- ver fox. Suggestions were made re advertising and D. O. Stewart of that committa , who is leaving shortly for Oslo, Norway, where the second International Fur Con- ference will be held in July. ssid that on his return he hoped to have details of an arrangement for publicizing silver fox and its mutations in Europa and also on this continent. Present also and a very popular figure was John Moloney, Manage of the Hudson's Bay Company, Montreal. Mr. Mol- cncy stated his company is build- ing new offices and warehouse and expect to hold auctions in it commencing January, i950. Ha hoped that within s reasonable lime a betterment in fox fur con- ditions would come about.

A discussion took place re the best date for holding the next annual meeting. It was felt that it should be held earlier in June and it was finally decided that the date be set as near to the first Tuesday in June as practicable. The election of Directors to fill v csncies resulted as follows: Sas- katchewan, Dr. H. H. MacDonald, Saskatoon; Nova Scotis, W. P. Lusby. Amherst: Prince Edward Island, D. 0. Stewart. Summer- side, Lt-Col. D. A. MacKinnon. Charlottetown. E. S. Burleigh. Sllmmersi’. Ontario. J. Russell Hood, Alliston. .

At the Directors‘ meeting the following ' appointments w e r e made: President, A. M. Doyle, Win- nipeg. Man; Vice President. Gor- don MscMillan, Cornwall, P. El: Executive Committee. Georg Mac- Leod. Black River, N. 3.; R. S. Humphrey, Kensington; LL-Col. D. A. MacKinnon. Charlottetown; Fur Committee: Chairman, D. O. Stewart; the Executive, Walter Lusby. Amherst: L. J.

Csrruthers: Treasurer, Vernon Matthew; Chairman of Special Committee, D. O. Stewart.

Consideration was given to con- ditions covering live fox show grants and s new and more equil- able n. ngement was approved. Grants will be on the basis of- l50 or more registered foxes shown. $100; 100 to 149 registered foxes shown. $300: ‘Ill to 99 regis- tered foxes shown. 8300: with lesser amounts for s smaller num- ber of foxes.

Part of last week and Ilcnday and Tuesday 0f this weak was Oflwllied with sales by the Can- adian Fur Auction, Sales Com- Plh)‘. Ltd. Montreal. Generslfurs were sold last week and the re- port received from George A. Callback who was in attendance. states that ranch mink was 70% sold. advancing i096 with 511v": biu 05% sold. advancing 10%. On the other hand there was s very small attendance of buyers for the silver fox and mutation sale. This was due to the fact that cur- rency regulations sre pow so strict in European countries that it is almost impossible to have any large amount of money transfer- red to Canada or the United States, which are the dollar coun- tries, our currency being based on the American. For that reason many good buyers who would otherwise be present were not in rtendance. The result was a small quantity ofjoods sold at the lowest prices of the year. Thirty per cent of an offered bunch of plstin were sold st lfl average price of $12 and 3% of inferior platinum lights were sold at an average of $8: 00% of the Pearl Plstinums offered were sold st $10.50 average while 20% of the white marked averaged $6.25. Selected full silvers were 25% taken at an average of tit with regular fulir 28% sold st 811.150; inferior types were 80%

sold at an average of st.

This is one of our rarer birds, though it seems t0 have been fairly common in _ Bella's day. When the Island was mostly woodland. the Swift nested in hollow trees. in communities. l-Iun- dreds, according to Bain, nested in a JIIIIIG hollow tree, going to and from their resort in a black stream! But as the country was settled. the trees were cut for fuel and timber, and tbs Swifts turned to the chimneys tbatwere spring- ing up here and there. and nested in them. They built nests shaped like half-saucers, in the interior of the chimney, bracing themsel- ves by means of the shafts of tho tail-feathers. after the manner of the Woodpecker... Since their legs and feet are weak Swifts spend most of their time in the sir and seldom slight on the ground. They collect. while fly- ing. small dcsd twigs from the tress, and it is this material. cemented by the bird's gelsntin- eus saliva. that is used for mak- ing the nests. The usual clutch was four or fivp white eggs.

The settlers called the bird a "swallow," on account of its ser- ial movements. it is in reality nearer the Nighthawk rather than any of the Swallow tribe. There are a number of distinctions. No Swallow has a short stubby tail Wm, pfgjqcflng "spineLWAfld the Swift's flight is bat-like: its wings secm.to move alternately. When the bird "glides," the long nar- row wings form s crescent-

Beetles on Aldcrs

At the end of Ml)’ I il°iic°d that the alder trees on the road- side were severeiY illillffid b? some leaf-eating beetle. Most of the leaves were only Ttlifeienled by the "veins," the intermediate tissue having been eaten awfw. thus giving the leaves a fern-like appearance. After some 56811111 I found two smallish. dark-blue beetles who seemed to be the culprits, and these l sent to Dr. I, M. Cannon of the Entomologi- cal Laboratory, Charlottetown for identification. Here is the answer:

Dear Agricola. I have your let- ier of June 2 with specimens of insects enclosed. These are Alder rm Beetles (Altica blmuralnllifl Say.) Thcy attack the alder and willow and in some areas the hucklebérryYTiiiiiéhson they are very numerous and reports have come in from different parts of the Province regarding the injury they are causing to the alders.

veins. The skelatenising of the foliage by the larvae is very com- plats in case of the alder. The beetles also feed on the foliage. eating holes through the leaves. The beetles feed in the spring and fall. The work o! the lsrvss, takes place mostly during July and August.

The beetles pass the winter in protected places and appear in the spring. They begin their eggs on the leaves of tho alder in Jlfne. The eggs hatch in from 7 to i0 days and the larvae feed for about M days; at the end of this time they go into the ground and form an earthen cell about one inch below the surface. liars they enter the pupal stage which lasts from l2 to 25 days. At the end of this quiescent per- iod the pupas transform to beet- les which appear during August and early September. These best- lea feed for a few days and than go into hibernation.

They can be collbolled by spraying with arsenate df lead 4 lb. to 100 gal. of water of‘ 50 oer cent mow wettsble powder t lb!- to I00 gal. of water.

The * sporotricharn slo- bnliferom often attacks the larvae. pupae. and adults, with a consid- ernble degree of virulence and may well be the beetle’: Worst foe. There is also one dlpterous parasite known to attack these beetles. Yours very truly."

The CBC puts on these Light Operas on Tuesday flllhts. In‘! gives us a solid hour of very good music. There is an excep- tionslly good soprano singer who is, in my opinion. equal to an? soprano I have heard in the Savoy Theatre. London — the headquarters of these Operas. That is saying n lot, for Sir Wil- liam Schwcnke Gilbert, who chose the performers was s very ERIE!" ing man and none but the but pleased him.
