VOIOMIM appears heading for- the greatest breeding honors of all time. It is expected that before the season closes he will be the first stallion to be credited with 100 or more 2.10 trotters and 100 or more 3.10 pacers and he is ex- pected shortly to have the dis- tinction cf the first to have 100 representatives in the 0 list. It was expected when his grandsire, Peter the Great 2.07%. passed away that his 2.10 list would never be equalled but this proved incorrect as his son Peter Volo 3.00 and his grandson Volc- mite 3, 2.03%. have both rolled up a mum greater number. Volo- mite now stands with 13 in two minutes arid 100 in 2.06. the latest additions being the two-year-olds we have just mentioned.

Si. Roch-Ends Long Voyage

o:

VANCOUVER, Sept. 27 - (OP) -—Anot.her hazardous venture into the Arctic by the 80-ton Vancou- vcr..bulit Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrol boat St. Roch ended Thursday afternoon when the little ship slipped quietly into Vancou- ver harbor. ‘

At the helm was sub-inspector Henry [arson of Victoria. who told newsman "we didn't bust any records this time. It wasn't that kind of s trip. Just nice and peaceful."

‘rho skipper said tiic tiny supply schooner had one close squeak. At - PointrBa-rrow, on Alaska's north. ernmost. tip, it just mLsacd heirs; blocked in for another winter. "The ice closed in behind us one hour after our departure."

Last lap of the voyage was 5,000 miles from Cambridge Bay, where the shi had been frozen in from September, 194.5, until July this year, and it took 2s days.

' , Bay is on Victoria‘ Island about 1.500 air miles north of Vancouver. but the distance the St. Roch had to cover was 5.000

as.

Members of the crew included Corist. LR. Piaro, Sydney Mines. 10.8.; pecial Oonst. W M. Cashin. Halifax: and the ship's cook, Spec. Oonst. 0.8. Clark, Ohatham, N3.

William Ritchie of the Dominion Repayment of Agriculture, 0,- ilwe- has zone to a t deal of trouble to give the h tory o! the merketirc of silver fox pelts with statistics from tho years teas-rm "D to April 30th, i946. A study of it gives the future trends of the industry and what we y ex. Dect as the years roll agrig and 0119811 competition becomes more evident. These are extracts fnmn the article . . . .

“Now that the war is over we l" befllhnin! lo feel the effects of European competition. We did not expect that there would be such a large collection of pelts heir-Z held by some of the countries of Europe. The result has n that with bu: little briylntz DOWer in Europe this past winter the l-iolidon market had become glutted. Although the silver fox - industry originated 1n Canada (as

a matter of fact in Prince Ed d Island) there are a number cf countries which produce more pelts then we dc. Although the present world production is approximately half the pre-war production it must be borne in mind that it is going to be some considerable time before a ml-nber oi’ countries who used to purchase large quantities of sliver fox pelts are back in the market. Carads is what we might lcrm as being in a “wedge". On the one side United States has a protective tariff of 35 per cen-t while in Europe the cost o1 production was always lower than in Canada. Europeans have always been able to market their pelts a good four to six meet this competition 1 can see but one solution and that is to produce a better pelt.

It is on the quality of silver fox pelts that I lie-tend to make my main topic today. when the fox breeding industry was in the growing up stage its principal function seemed to be the promot- ion of livestock sales, yet little was krriwn at that time of what constituted desirable stock. With. in a few years this phase of deve- lopment was replaced by the build- in up of quadty herds by diligent ctsling of inferior animals. The changes in demand for different kinds qr fox 081.5. hav increased the difficulties of the r chers who are naturally anxious to produce the kind of pelts that, bring the highest prices. Black fox was popular thirty years ago. A few rtears later the highest prices were

a

silvers. During recent years. how- ever, the full SLVGTS have been setting the upper price limit (that is in the standard silver classes.)

In i922 the American breeders felt they had sufficient breeding stock for foundations purposes and requested tielr government to place a roteclive tariff against pelts and ive animals entering their country. Consequently in that year the United States govern- ment imposed a duty of 50" per cent on silver fox pelts and i5 per cent on live foxes. Immediately American breeders started to de- velop a. distinctive type of silver fox. 'I‘ire lead was taken by oer. tain breeders who developed 511d. standarized a large, heavily furredx wide barred pale sliver pelt-quite unlike the more desirable Can- adian types. After they had pro- duced these lri considerable num-

livestock selling campaign as a result of which hundreds oi ranches sprang up in the United States stocked with this type. so that when the United States ranches came into pelt production on a lame 50919 th had thousands of foxes quite unl ke the Canadian types AB 11ml? went, on increasing quantities of Canadian pelts were marketed. There was no way to resolute the production of any type 01' 10x95 except through the willingness of the farmer. himself to cc-operate and his determination and sin- cerity in producing a first class product. »

‘Wit-h the outbreak of hostilities,

A considerable number did go out of business and as a result pelt production for the sea- son, cf 194L1942 dropped to 150.000, which was less than half of the season 1936-1039. ~

During the past few years con. siderable interest has been shown in the development of new type lfoxes which were derived from- various mutations that have oo- curred on silver fox farms. These were at first accidental in that they were entirely different from the standard silver fox in any of its normal color phases. The principal breeders of new types were persuaded to sell o few first class specimens oi the new vari- ety known as “platina" in orgi- to distinguish them from “siiv " fox. ‘These 'piatina" or “plat. inum” as they are now called in their debut. The immediate effect of the prices paid for these pelts was to send the value of breed- ing animals oi this type soaring to dllzzy heights.

Those who have introduced these new types into their stand- ard herds have had varied exper. fences arwl in many instances they have not had very satisfactory re suits. In some cases blood lines 01 fine standard silver herds have
