WANTS MINK RANCHERS TO LOCATE 0N BIG SCALE IN NEWFOUNDLAND

A strong plea to mink ranchers of Canada to establish branches in Newfoundland was made yesterday morning at the annual meeting of the Canada Mink Breeders by Premier Joseph R. Smallwood of that Province.

The Premier said he believed that in all North America. with- out exception, Newfoundland is ”the best place to breed mink." For his reasons for this belief he listed the climatic conditions of his Province and the low cost of food. He said the latter was un- mlstakably the best reason for breeders establishing plants there. He stated frankly that he did not iwlir.-ve it was possible to raise mink as cheaply anywhere else in North America.

One of the reasons for this was the large numbers of pothead whales which come to the shores of Newfoundland and do not have to be towed. They range, he said. from 10 to 30 feet in length and are very valuable for their meat and oil.

Premier Smallwood expressed the hope that some of the dele- gates present would go to his Prov- ince and see for themselves that Newfoundland is the greatest fish- ing venture in this hemisphere.

Ready and Willing

While admitting that his associa- tion with mink ranching has been of comparatively recent origin, he said that since meat and fish might be the big bulk of the diet he thought Newfoundland could supply it at a low cost. "This is what we are able to do. ready to do and willing to do."

He stated they were willing to provide all the whale meat need- ed by any mink rancher for two cents per pound within a radius of 50 miles of the existing plant in Newfoundland.

The Premier also said be ex- pected all mink ranchers moving to his Province would form a New- foundland Association closely link- ed with the national association and the Government was prepar- ed to erect a new building for a mini: iisattute.

He added that the Govenment was prepared to offer attractive salaries to officials who are spe- cialists in the industry and would provide classrooms as another fea- ture of the program. He said he believed it possible for from 100 to 200 young Newfoundlanders in take up mink ranching provided they had instruction from experi- enced ranchers.

''I am convinced that Newfound- land has much to offer in the way of economical production of mink. With this in mind we welcome any ranchers in our mink producing area.”
