TIMELV IIOIES OI TOPIOS . noltmfio VIITII Silver Fox and

Mink Farming

For the moment the fox furs are not wanted. It does not mean very much if the reasons are that there was over-production or that we breeders didn't promote the fox fur well enough. The princi- pal thing is that for four or five years the fox furs have been one of the slowly moving items in the fur trade and this I underline. at this time it is still an item not wanted.

"some people go so far as to believe and to say that, in their opinion. the fox furs are not com- ing back again; they will remain forever a dead item. I am not of that opinion. I firmly believe that within a certain time-it can be just a few years or it can be five to ten years-the fox for will be sold very freely and perhaps at extremely high prices.

"Many of the farmers misunder- stood the situation and blamed the fur trade for the disaster that happened to our fox pelts. I do not feel that this is correct be- cause I know from experience that an article that moves is an article that the fur trade wants. An art- icle that goes down in price and is sold at such a low level that it does not give a. profit is not want- ed.

"It seems perhaps strange that it is the low price that makes it so hard to sell the fox fur. but this observation is correct. If I. or any other person. would go to Maximilian or to Wollman in New York and say something like this: 'I have here 100 very. very beauti- ful silver fox pelts and the price is 8100 apiecel. I feel pretty sure that they would be very much in- terested and they would buy be- cause such a high price. which. of course. must be the real price of the article. will protect the lead- ers. the dominating firms in the fur industry. against competition from low-class , distributors and retailers.

"Many seem to believe that the fox furs are going to come back slowly, but I am of the opinion that the coming back. when the time is ripe. will be very fast and that they will come back at the top, not from the bottom. Many of us are of the opinion that the promotion is the thing that will change the picture. In spite of the fact that I have been in the pro- motion field for many. many years and firmly believe that it is up to the farmers and their organization to go in for strong promotion. 1 am of the opinion that to go in for strong promotion of fox furs today is not the correct thing to do .. .

"Of course no fur is more lovely than a fox fur; nothing is more flattering than a beailtiful coat trimmed with blue fox pelts or a beautiful stole made of deep. dark blue silver foxes. Nothing is more flattering for many women. but also let us accept the fact that the costs and the capes made for the short and for the stout women did nothing good for the promo- tion of the lovely fox furs.

"In a few weeks I will be travel- ling in Europe and meet old and good friends in London. Paris. Frankfurt and Milan. in all the centres where furs are sold. I will also see my friends in the scand- inavian countries where fox and mink are raised: Let me hope that when I am over there I will find some ray of hope for the fast- er coming back of the fox pelts than the one I believe in today-'

What are known generally as European plums, Prunus domes- tica. originated in southwestern Asia to the north of the Caspian Se . They are not,s tropical fruit an there is no mention of them in early Egyptian writings. They

kans about the fifteenth century and spread from there through- out Europe. There are three main types that were brought to Ameri- ca with the settlement of the New World. The French brought them

throughout the country.

One group of large firm fleshed plums with a high sugar content are dried without removing the pits. require very favorable clima- tic conditions and are marketed largely as prunes. These are not

are a light green to yellow when ripe and are classed as cling stone plums. because the pit adheres the flesh. They were named after Queen Claudia. of France about 1500 A. D. and later when taken to England by Sir William Gage. they were called Greengage. The third group differ from the others in shape and size. They are very large and oval shaped and are known as Egg plums, some are purple and others yellow in colour.

The Damson type of plum has been grown for its fruit since pre- historic times. Its pits have been located in the Lake dwellings in Switzerland and its recorded his- tory predates other species. mentioned in Greek writings of the sixth century B. C. It seems to have been native to Europe as well as western Asia. it was nam- ed for the city of Damascus and came to America from Europe. The fruit is small. round or oval. Dam- sons have been more widely grown and with more success than the other species of plums. A few Dam- son trees were in most of the old. or orchards and were prized for making tart and spicy jam.

Native Plums

The native plums of North Am- erica which were the most widely distributed of any native fruit trees were not. important to com- merce but were of great value to the pioneer settlers. They

diet. There are many species and these have been crossed with Euro- pean and Oriental kinds to pro- duce varieties: some of these are excellent in quality and retain their native hardiness. The Cana- dian plum. Prunus nigra. is one of the hardiesl of the native sorts. it has a large pink blossom in con- trast to the white bloom of I the other sorts.

These plums shniild probably be called Oriental plums as there is no plum that is believed to be a native of Japan. Japanese author- ities say that the species. Prunus salicina. was introduced to their country from China not more than four hundred years ago. These plums are believed to have origin- ated in southwest China. Japanese plum trees were imported into California about 1870. They were well liked and were soon grown "commercially. When Luther Bur- bank moved from New England to the West Coast, he was greatly interested in these plums.

Burbank not only imported many varieties but he crossed these with other plums and grew a very great number of seedlings. By crossing and selection he did more than any other breeder in popular- izing Japanese plums in America Manypof the varieties grown today

Japanese plums bloom early in the season and in many dl.s'.i'icts the blossoms are frequently killed by early spring frosts. The fruit is large and highly coloured. When crossed with native plums the hy- brids are hardier and some that bloom later in the season are pro- mising varieties for the favorable plum growing areas of Canada.

generally. as sour cherries also spread throughout the northern Temperate zone of Asia and Eur- ope. Both these types. are believ- ed to have originated somewhere. not far from the Dardanelles. or between the Balkans and the Gas- pian Sea. They were in general cultivation throughout Europe at the beginning of the Christian Era. Varieties do not seem to have been named until about the six- teenth century.

Cherries were brought to this continent by the English, Dutch and French. They were also taken to the West Coast by Spanish missionaries when that area." was part of Mexico. Chokecherries and Sand cherries are native to North America. with a very wide distri- bution. They are seldom used where other cherries can be grown. These native types and some Asiatic species are. however, used as ornamental shrubs and trees in many parks and gardens.

The cherries of commerce do best under cool temperate condi- tions. M-any varieties of sweet

cherries crack and rot when heavy rains occur at ripening time. some of our best varieties of sweet cher- ries have originated from chgncg seedlings. They are very popular on the fresh-fruit markets. some are canned or frozen and many are processed and used as Maras. chino cherries.

Northwest Territories

( By GERALD WARINGI

OTTAWA-John Wounded Bear and Peter Terreguniak are going to the polls on Monday. to try the white man's method of self-gov- ernment..

For Monday is election day in the Northwest Territories. all the way from the 60th parallel to the MacKenzie delta. Indians. Eski- nlos and whites will share equally the responsibility of selecting three representatives to sit on the territorial council which will gov- ern this huge area of 1.500.000 square miles and its 16,000 inhab- itimts.

This is frankly an experiment. I-leretofore all members of the Ter- ritorial Council have been ap- pointed by the Federal Govern- ment. and all meetings of the Council have been held in Ottawa. But now three of the Councils eight members are to be elected by popular vote. and the Council will meet alternately in Yellow- knife and Ottawa.

Thus Monday's election really will be a milestone in the history of the Territories. and years hence may be regarded as the nrst. step towards provincehood for that part of the country.

There are 11 candidates for the three Council seats. and their election campaigns are buildingup strong interest throughout the north. All the candidates are whites. and include trappers. mer- chants. a pilot, and even a house- wife. No natives are seeking elec- tion. despite the fact that the In- dians and Eskimos outnumber the white men two to one. But as the natives advance in this school of democracy, no doubt some will be candidates in fixture elections.

No party lines have yet been drawn in Territorial politics-or at any rate. not as we know them in the southern Provinces. Neverthe- less there will be two groups in the new Council-the govemment- appointed majority of five Ottawa officials whose first responsibility

The body of a man found by State Police in a burning farm- house l0 miles from Flemington, N.J.. has been identified as Louis Adamic (seen above). famous Am- erlcan author, whose name had come up before the un-American activities committee in August. 1948. in connection with member- ship in over a score of left-wing organizations. Found shot through the head. Adamic had come to the US. some 20 years ago from Yugo- slavia. where he was a peasant boy. one of 10 children.

Revised Royal Tour Itinerary

OTTAWA. Sept. if-(OP)-The government has now issued a revised and enlarged itinerary for the October visit of Princess Eliza- beth snd the Duke of Edinburgh. outlining in greater detail their five-week trip across the country and back.

Generally. the new itinerary contains only minor revisions, leaving the pattern of their tour essentially the same as outlined in preliminary schedule issued sev- eral weeks ago.

The royal couple land at Que- bec Oct. 2, visit Ottawa and tour the various provinces as they move westward to the Pacific Coast, where they will holiday for three days on Vancouver island. Returning, they' will stop at western centres untouched in the first leg of their Journey and stop in Montreal before making a two- day trip to Washington. This will be followed by a two-day holiday in Quebec's Laurentian Mountains before they tour the Maritime Provinces and sail for home from Newfoundland Nov 5.

Today's revised itinerary adds a number of smaller towns to be visited-usually only to give an observation platform appearance- as their royal from works across the country. some arrival and departure times are altered slight- ly and in two instances they will travel by train instead of aircraft. It had been planned originally that the Princess and the Duke would fly from Edmonton to Sask- atoon and from Halifax to Char. lottetuwn aboard the El. 0. A. F, deluxe C-5 aircraft. They now will travel between those points by train, though they still will use the plane for certain other stages of the iour.

Use of the train from Halifax to Charlottetown means they will leave the Nova scotia. capital at 11 P. M. Nov. 1. instead of lo A. Mi. the next morning, as previously planned.

Another departure is 5 short motor trip Oct. 11 in the Rocky Mountains. from Ccmrane, Alta.. to Banff. They travel by car again Oct. 19 from Vancouver to New Westminster.

Their visit f.o Washington, where they will stay with president and Mrs. Truman. was not detailed. It- will be released later.

the elective minority of three whose first responsibility is to the people of the Territories.

The latter. as they campaign for election. show they have already grasped the fundamentals of vote- catching as they are practiced in the Provinces. To a man the can- didates demand that Ottawa pro- vide more money to be spent in the Territories. and that the Council be made wholly elective in the not too distant future.
