Canada's fur bearers have I received mom than one body blow. wallops below the belt that have almost eliminated them from the; preferred List of the Dominionks. assets. No sooner had hard times and lack at demand, in a 001m, menial way, given the bard-press-l ed manlmals a breathing spell, than back-to-we-land movements and‘ high prices rear their dragon! heads. l It must be admitted that to the man in the street, Mr. Average Citizen, all this is rather vague and \ obscure. He knows, of course, that in company o! some of our other l resources the fuz- bearera an going m the bow wows. But since figures are tiresome. things at best, he can't quite grasp the significance of it all. Maybe there is something in the fear that at. the pYiLBDT rate ot l destruction Canadas fur resources L are slated-end in our own genera- l lion t00-f0r the discard. The fate that has overtaken so many of the fur bearers of the United States, say the more gloomy pessimists lwiil certainly catch up with ours unless government steps in with more rigid legislation. The flfglllllffllt. that more wild fur lkills" of pertain kinds are being produced now than for years past logical enough. at first sight, particularly when red fox: and weasel are filed as exhibits A ‘ and B. If the argument is follow- . ed out to its logical conclusion however, it will be found that most fur bearers csme and go in cyc‘es, so to streak. And Just now, both‘ the above mentioned animals hap- J pened to have reached the peak of their abundancy. I The question of Cans/dab fur bearers is such a singularly remote one, so far removed from the ord- inn-y excitement; of the day, the average man can hardly be blamed for giving it comparatively little thought/The fact remains. never- theless, that. the matter will have to be taken up, sooner or later. and dealt with. seriously by organized government. Public opinion in the United States. if a. trifle less staple, per- haps. is more easily aroused than here. And there has been a stirring of the masses there that is bound to bring enlightenment on the. question. In the meantime, Can- ada can keep her ear to the ground and attend as many wildlife con- fcrencm as possible with a watch- ing brief. Whether back-to-the-land move- ments will wipe out the last vestlge of fur in many districts is a moot question. The first effect of the movement will naturally be an ill-l crease in the number of pelts se- ' cured and marketed-for eolonlsts.‘ as a rule, look upon flu-s u one of their few sources of revenue. Pres- ently, however, as more and more land is cleared, more acreage drained, more swamplalld reclaim- ed. the" wildlife will diminish and -diaappeer. Ifyouweretotelizbectlwoodu- man, a settler of any age, thalt the man in the city Ira-s an equitable share in the fur-bearers in his neck , of ilhe woods, he would probably give you the merry ha. ha. Never- theless it is the truth in its broad- est sense. Furbearers are the com- mon property oi’ the people, irres- pective of wlierc they live, and should be protected and propagated for their benefit. ‘Ib begin with, it would mpvpearl to be the consensus at opinion that the trapping seasons ere tool long. A lot oi folks won't agree with this, 0i course. The truth hurts. sc-lnetilnes. But men, shrewd observers, who have watched the ebb and flow of wildlife, contend. . and not without reason, that noI open trapping season should last, v20 i For the shown below 2nd prize — — 3rd prize — -—- 4th prize -— — 5th prize - — — 1- Dec. 193 in; in the same house.
