THE AGREEMENT

“The Can. National Silver Fox Breeders‘ Association l‘ c p o rt they are entering into an ogre-c- mont under the Agricultural Products Co-opcrativc Market- ing Act, 191%. in regard to fox pelts. This agreement entered into between the Can- adian Natlonal Silver Fox Brr-cd- crs Association und thc Minis- ter of Agriculture. Thr- agree- ment providcs that tippers may elect to market ch of their fox pelts as arc deliver-rd to thc Association prior to the first day of Maj". 1947 for salo by tilt: Association on n co-op- crativc plan and would provide that the Association will Day to such brccdcrs an initial pay- ment not cxccodingthcamounts set out in i-Il" sctlcdule attached to the agreement.

"All such pclts must bc grad- ed and pools designated for tho different grades. Under the agreement the Minister under-- takcs in thc cvcpt that thc polls do not rcalizo thc amount of the initial payment plus selling costs to pay to the As- sociation the amount of the

"The amount. of thc initial payment is doternlincd in till‘ schedule by a perccntagv "f the averafgo of fox pelts for a three ycar period preceding thc year of production."

The initial payments are quite generous as compared to present market realizations and t-ltcre is no doubt. that a great number oi’ shippers will take advent-age of thtls plan. Certainly a much more generous advance can be mad.- under the agreement than can at resent bc made by marketing or- ganizations.
