twenty-nine hundred ranches, and from the lists of ranches already re- ceived from the Record Ofllce. there are already at least thirty-two hun- dred to inspect this season. From the standpoint of the regis- trstion of fox pedigrees the yesr 1928 exceeded by‘ far that of any previous year, the actual number of registra- tions being 50118, sn increase of 11450 or 30% over the total registra- tions for the year 192,7. Of this total 22939 were sold or transferred to per- sons other than the breeders, this being sn increase of 3902, or more than 20% in excess of the transfers made during the proceeding year. Thus. according to omcisl records, over 45% of the number of animals registered last year were disposed of alive for breeding purposes. In addition to the instructions giv- en them by Chief Inspector George H. McCallum, through the courtesy oi Dr. E. S. Archibald. Director of Experimental Farms, Mr. G. Ennis Smith, of the Experimental Fox Sta- tion st Summerside wss authorized to be present at both Summerside and Ottawa, to discuss with the In- spectors matters pertaining to sani- tation, feeding and general rsnch management, so that the benefit of the information snd instructions re- ceived by them could be handed on to the ranchers wherever located. particularly those living in isolated districts snd those who have recent- ly become engaged in fox ranching. This assistance from the‘ Experim- ental Farms Branch was highly sp- precisted by the Directors of this As- sociation.
