However. we children knew more about his personality as he ex-

it in the school-room. There.

times he strode equipped with a ardwood pointer, up and down the room, and our little. brown knuck- les seemed to provo the use of instrumen. At other times he sat in his chair behind the battered, oid desk and glared ferociously at us. A sin, on his “good days" he was e kindest and moettgatient o! teachers. That he was a victim of erratic nerves. he further disclosed by what he did when he dropped the black- brzixi eraser. o stick oi chalk or when n door banged suddenly shut.

Last Monday e Gear A. (lsllbecg Hauler o! e For ﬁst- ketllll agar-intent o! the Canadian National liver Fox Breeders‘ As- sociation. returned from on extend- ed visit 1c urope where be bad been in the interests cl the silver fox ranchers o! Canada. who had

consigned. over 60.000 silver fox gelta tbrou h his concern. Mr. Call- eck. or “ urge" u he is known

to moat of us, is ptobabl the but qualified all-round man ﬁ the ell- ver fox world. Al a you he im-

d a love oi‘ live stock because of his association with his lather, J. W. Callback, a noted exhibitor o! past decades. Their .farm. ani- mals were invariably Hops," so it was quite natural that when silver fox farming calme into vogue both father and scn would become inter- ested in this new, fascinating and profitable Industry. They were with t in the heyday o! its glory when anxieties were str ohed lo their utmost at this season o! the year and fortunes depended on what was known us “Lady Luck." but. as we know it now. good care and know- ledgeof feed requirements. plus the necessary heredity instincts in the mother 1o raise her younz.

Callback foxes raised by father Joe and son George became greatly sought after. and at the first ex- hibition held in Montreal in 1020 they were large prize winners. George at that tune was also the Manager oi’ the Willow Hill Sliver Fox Rauiliing Company, a name _t0 he conjured with because o! its history and record as a dividend payer through its original pair 0t foxes and the disbursements there- from in the yPars 1912-13-14.

Resignlng from the Willow Hill in the early 1020s he went in largely on his own account. Then Ba it became necesse .v throukh great uuantities of furs being mar-

eted! by the Fur Marketinl! De- psrisnent o! the Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders’ Association, Georgo was called in as an all Illi- er o! uality. In that capsc ty as fur [I'll er and fur marketer he has been an unqualified success. As i‘. ‘dent of the some Association. a post Whllh he held for many years, he was also equally well thought of from coast to coast. It is therefore with particular pleasure that the writer. a life-long lriend In business and sport is ens ed to present to our readers further eldelighta and observations on sliver fox furs and market trends. doing more fully into details than the re- cent interview which allllcarcd in the Guardian a few days axo.

Inndon March sales which were roncludert nu April 8th. the lrliEflllﬂS contained the largest numtcr of Silver Fork Skins ever presented on March sslee—beina 125.000 skins or 30.000 more than at the corresponding sales of last year. The attendance o! buyers was small-even uyers for the British m" Home Trade were relatively few in number-with very little support from continental buy- ers. owina lei" ely to the very dis- turbed conditous prevsilin in a number of European coun . The sales in fact. came on within a few days alter Germany's encroach- ment alter Austria and hence at a time when people were thinking more about whait preparations should be made for defence of their homes rather than purchasing furs 0i fashion. Naturally, unfavourable conditions. combining with a scar- cltv of buyers and a. very large oi- leriria the competition was not keen. the medium nualiiv skins be- inst aenerallv neaiected.

» The drop in the price of the franc had a furl-her discouraalng effect on the purchesina bv buyers for the French trade. A year s20. 98 francs would exrhancc for a pound ster- ling, While at the present time. the equivaient the pound is 163 francs.

Norweaiau skins all tliroullh the season. have been placed cii the sales. with very low limits. and as the buyers on these sales were par- ticularly interested in the cheap merchandise. they showed a prefer- ence for Norwegian nuns.

Likewise the pelts produced in the British Isis do not show any improvement over those of previous

years. Finland continues to vo very special consideration to a n!’ Silver Fox Furs. and plans to have 50.000 skins to put on the market within two years. Though Norwegian skins have better color and somewhat more average size. I believe that Gena- dian ranchers aiming at better ra- ther than mo1'e foxes will be en- couraged to know that Silver Iibxea raised in Canada yet lead tihe world in type and quality. and that Coh- aclefs best are the world's best. ‘Ihere appears to be no rec.- son for my quotm prices for our column. or m ng co ns with the results of previous sales. as you already have such date; suffice in ssy that silver fox re- mains one pf the most po ular furs and with increasin supp ies, it is gratifying to know at the de and is also growing.
