"On September 1st. 1929. Nor- way had 2.500 fur farms with 83.- 500 silver foxes. On the same date in 1937 the fox farms had in- creased to 15,000. housing 200.000 adults xvitl-l 3711000 pups estimat- ed. The 1936 Norwelgian crop 0f silver fox pups was valued at $7,- 000000 and the Swedish crop at; $2,500,000. Swcclcn has between 2.- 500 and 3.000 fox farms with a

0'30 pelts. There are also fur farms in Finland and other parts of the Baltic. Compared with the pro- duction in Manitoba the Swedish production is low. Many of the ranchers consider an average of two and one-half pup; per pen a vPry fair result. ‘They seem to have more difficulties to overcome in their silver fox farming than in thc case in Canada.

The problem of production has received the attention of scientists and ranchers but very little help- ful advice has been forthcomlntz. The lack of production trouble is mostly confined to the southern parts of Sweden 11nd Norway. The northern parts have their diffi- culties. as in those sections ap- proaching the Arctic Circle, silver foxes monlt. twice. in the Spring and also at the end of September. before the pelt is prime. the guard hairs fall off. New guard hairs grow in. but the pelt is as a rule. darker and only the odd pelt be- comes beautiful. Therefore the pelts from the very north are poor. By heavy feeding it is claim- ed that a similar feature can be brought about occasionally in the southern parts. The proper fen-Wu for this phenomenon is not known. but. the present thwrv is that. the bright summer nights characteristic of these northern provinces arr responsible.
