National Sea Products officials here said no more shipments of fish could be sent today for points lveyond Montreal and by tomor- row only Maritime destinations could be served.

Wholesalers said supplies that will be on hand in Halifax wez" nssday will be sufficient to last only a week. By that time iarr produce ircm the Annapolis Val- ley would probably be arriving by truck and would offset the short- age somewhat. -

Behind the four hit pitching oi Cec Powell, the cellar dwelling Red sox swapped places with the R.C.A.l='. nine, by handing them a 7 to l defeat in Summerslde last night. The Sox contributed an errorless fielding display behind Powell, the first time a team had gone the route without a miscue since the same team did it on June 4th against the Legionalres. The Sox teed off on s couple of Air Force pitchers getting a total of twelve base hits.

Anderson, on third base for the

,Flyers, though getting one of the ‘errors chalked up against the Air-

men, played an inspired game at the hot comer, accepting eight other chances without a bobble. Brawley and Clow in centrefield for the Air Force and Sox made some fine catches for their re- spective teams.

Delegates Welcomed

D. 0. Stewart welcomed the delegates on behalf of the Provinc- lal fox breeders and suggested that the chairman and secretary should ‘be appointed, also other comrrut- tees.

The following slate was decided on: D. O. Stewart, chairman and Joseph Francis, secretary. Public- lty Committee O. Brager-Larsen, chairman, Paul Reinliart, Victor Clouston, Chris Lang. Rules and procedure committee, l-Yed Meyer. Jhan Llndstrom, W. O. Douglas, Harold Reid. with J. E. Connolly chairman. Chairman W. O. Stewart then called on Premier J. Walter Jones to address the meeting and referred to Mr. Jones’ book "Fur Farming in Canada." published in 1913 which was still a great source of information.

Premier Jones

Premier Jones on behalf of his government and the people of the Province welcomed the delegates and hoped they would have amost enjoyable visit and find a solution that would overcome the fur breeders‘ difficulties. He told stor- ies of his trips around the country gathering information for his book and of his chats with the fathers of fur farming, Dalton, Oulton. James Gordon, Robert Tuplln and many others. l-la spoke of the dif- ficulties that faced Dalton and Oulton and how by their study planning and ingenuity these were overcome. He mentioned the per- slstence of Robert Tuplln who knew about Dalton and Cullen's fur breeding experiments on Cherry Island and finally prevail- ed on them to sell him a pair of foxes for $340. The pair had not raised any pups but the following year gave the new owners four and this eventually led to the breaking of the monopoly.

The Premier said that his book had been translated into several languages and he tabled s copy that no one present could tell in what language it was printed. It proved to be Russian and it was written by an eminent Russian scientist Generesoff who visited this Province in 1915 and became one of the greatest enthusiasts on fur farming. The book was largely a translation of the Premier's "Fur Farming In Canada" with the same illustrations appearing in it.

The Premier's concluding re-

keefp happenin

everyone would go away pleased

-with their visit and come back again to see us." Reports submitted Chairman Stewart then called

for reports from fur farming or- ganlzatlons.

Victor Clouston reported for Nf1d., W. 0. Douglas for England, Paul Reinhart and J. E. Francis for the U.S.A.

Mr. Francis stated that 90 per cent of the fur farmers in the United States were members oi the National Board of Fur Farm Organizations. J. E. Connolly, Bathurst reported for the Canad- ian Mink Breeders’ Association, Jan Mesusalensson, for Iceland. Jhan Lindstrom for Norway and Col. D. A. MacKinnon for Canada.

The information given by these parties was very interesting and showed a. lot of care had been taken in its compilation. For in- stance, the lmlnk breeders of Ice- land had pretty well gone out of business during the war but in 1946 had imported '65 mutation mink from Canada and some silver foxes from Norway.

Mr. Llndstrom of Norway said that in 1939 there were 192,000 breeding foxes and in 1945 these had been reduced to 100,000. He said that Norway was an agri- cultural country, with the climate much like Alaska, and that fish offal and potatoes formed a large part of the fox's diet. l-le said that the farmer there was also a fur farmer, having a. cow, s. couple of pigs, a horse, 10 to 20 foxes, and 5 or 10 mink.

In 1929 the fox Norway was 800 silvers. there were 370,000 silvers, 20,000 blue foxes, 12,000 platinums. Up to

population of

lion dollops worth of furs, and the amount invested had only been five million dollars. From 1940 to 1945 it had been a struggle for life for the industry. Mr. Lind- strum concluded by saying the Norwegian fur farmer was a hardy individual who had s. deep liking for fur farming and would no doubt overcome present troubles.

0.8. Authority Speaks

A most interesting speaker was Paul Relnhart, one of the leading authorities in the United States on fox farming who was called upon

to describe the origin of fur farming in his country. Ari _hour previously he had addressed the

Rotarlans from whom he had re- ceived a very hearty welcome. Mr. Rclnhart traced the origin of fox farming from 1914 until it hit the depression years of 1929-1930. Then it came back, he said, and ex- panded tremendously. Two ranch- es had a total production of 70,000 when another bomb exploded in 1939. It was an address given in Chicago in which prediction of war with Japan was made. That set off the fireworks. An auction sale was being held in New York and the first two days the prices were good. Then the newspapers with the prophecy appeared and prices slumped as much as 40 per cent.
