'e&s-mAsa..-A.sv -- The good turnout of members at the annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Fur Breeders As- sociation at Birch Court, Experi- mental Farm. Charlottetown, last Tuesday. was most encouraging. All those present are actively con- tinuing raising silver and mutat- ion foxes and quite a few have added mink as well. Not one of them has any idea of if antinu- ing and all are hopefully looking forward to the return to popularity of silver fox in a year or two. The Association is in a healthy state financially and can continue its operations for several years even though expenditures exceed ro- ceipts. The deficit was 8400. for 1949. This was due to generous prize lists and a really worthwhile show with the best judges avail- able to handle the animals. The dates for 1950 were set as November zlst-Mth inclusive. The 21st will be fox receiving and classifying day. on the 22nd and 23rd the foxes will be judged and on the 24th the mink. This is a similar arrangement to the pre- vious year and it worked out very well indeed, George A. Callbeck will be asked to judge the foxes and George Mayors of New York the mink. Ax new feature this your will be a Field Night. with an ex- pert foxman and expert mink man brought in to speak on fox and mink problems and also to give demonstrations of what hhe fur trade requires in the various types of foxes and mink. It is hoped to have young ladies to model and demonstrate various types of furs and there will be other features that will make the evening quite attractive. The banquet will be carried on the same as in previous years. The Hudson's Bay Company has set a total of six general auctions together with two special mink and silver fox sales for ncxxt seasons selling starting November through August 1951. The next special cata- logue of silver and mutation foxes will be offered in conjunction with the H, B, C. general sale already announced for June 28th. The first fall sale is set for November 30th, a special mink auction to be fol- lowed on December lath by speci- al mink and .silver fox sale. We trust the sale of silver fox on June 26th and succeeding days will be a success. According to a statement. made by George Callbeck at the Fur Breeders meeting there has been considerable inquiry from London the past two weeks and if this accelerates in the next month there is a chance that the above auction will go over. What we are all hoping for is that all the silver fox in the auction compan 's stor- ages or fur pool's storage will be sold by the 31st of December, 1960 If so this year's takeoff whic.h is not expected to exceed 35.00 should be small enough to create higher prices in 1951. ' A. Hollander and Son. New York. is training student mink operators to learn the method of cutting and sewing skins to make up mink gar- ments. They have advertised for ivuction houses and others to semi them a supply of the poor quality skins so they can use them for iii- struction purposes. There are at present 100 students being trained in two classes of the Central High School of needle trades in New York, A minimum of 600 skins is needed for one term with two classes meeting twice a week. At the meeting at the fur breed- ers inst. Tuesday Lowell Hancock brought up the question of wheth- er it would be advisable to have A number of fox and mink garments made up, particularly fox which is the slowest seller at present, have these displayed at strategic places such as hotels and possibly stores. so that they would be brousht to the attention of visitors from abroad. l-ie said-and his state- ment was backed up by others- that a large number of people come here who are interested in the past history of silver fox farin- ing and who would like to take bnck with them some article made up of silver fox.

CONCERNING THE WITNE- Roi) Mrs. J. V Wnev.-lcr. of Wallace- burg. Ontario, writes for inferna- tion about a shrub called the Wilh- (or Withe-) rod. "1 re- member, in hikes through the swamp. there was a shrrb the "old folk" called withrozl. I havoi looked in the dictionary and Na-' ture books for information, and as I cannot find it listed, I wonder if "with-ruci" was a name coin- ed by our forbears. If there is suih a shrub, have I the spelling right?" In reply, I am glad to help my correspondent by reprinting the following from the Newsy Notes of long aif(o:-- "we are surcr of rod, (Viburnum which is fairly common near swamps and in open lI0Sl'l0n!. Both the common and the scien- tific names refer to the pliability of the long branches which per- mits them to be used for binding objects, just as rope is used. The leaves differ from those of V. nplilus in that they are ovate to oblong and obtuse. The berry really a "drupe” with a flat, even stone - is at first pink and final- l.v blue-blnck with a bloom. It is sweet and edible and is known in some parts of its range as the "Wild Raisin". That extract is taken from a long series of "Island Plants", safely preserved in my scrap-book. The word 'with' is very old, (see Judges 16:7). It may be spelt with or without the final "e"; the li"l may be pronounced as in it, or in mine, just as you please; but the "in" must be sonunt. i. e. like the "th"' in then, not as in thin. So much for the dictionary, if you. the Withe- Casslnoidcs), ANOTES - Iv Agricola 3000&O9& shrub, try "Viburnum" in the in- dex of Gray's Manual of Botany, which may be consulted in most. libraries. Many thanks for your klndnreferenccs to this column. SOME OTHER PLANTS The Cheddar Pink, mentioned in the Poet's Corner recently, is growing in my rook-garden where it has flourished several years. It has a little pink flower resembling a small carnation in form. but with a delightful fragrance. 1CI'l6d- dar Gorge or Vale, is one of the show-places of somerset County, England, and Is furlher noted as the place where a certain kind of cheese was first made). s.ips from my Pink have several times travelled to Central Canada. The Bird's-foot Trefoil, (Lotus cornioiilatils), which has been the subject of a test recently in the U. S. A.. will grow here too. The plant in the rock garden has come through the winter well. and shows many shoots. Down on the banks of the "creek" -really the brook - there are signs of a-raking life. The tall yellow Iris, wi'd in Eng- land, is perking up: it is a V ry good strain. Not far away the Wild Clematis is putting out leaves. Mr. Stephen Campbell, of Campbell's Mills, New Glasgow, kindly gaye me this plimt years ago. It is, I think. scarce on P. E. I. A Rziverbank Grape is ciimblnz a maple tree at its own pace and in a year or two should be bearing fruit. In some years, when the cattle are excluded, the creek is gay with the purple flower spikes of the Lcoseslrlfe. (Lythrumi, an Island plant. but rare, Sometimes too. one finds little cluirps of the "Ralized Robin", is Lychnis, whose rosy petals are divided in'o linear segments, There were many of the larger fungi-toad-stools - on the creek-hanks at one time, but of late, the climate has been unsuited to their growth. The cowsllps in the garden are just showing the flower stalka The "old folk" used to make a very fragrant wine from the blovsorrs -70 or 80 years ago! One of the seedlings from this steel: threw out red flowers last year, and I see it he; survived the winter. such a flower is a "mutant", from Latin mulo, meaning, ''I change". some theorists believe that cos- mic or other rays cause such na- tural changes. P. S. Don't forget to plant some Night-scented Stock. (Mutthioia bicornis), this year - especially if you are in the Hotel B.sinessl The scent is delightful, and car- ries a long way. The flower closes in daylight and for that reason, the seed is planted in some oui-of- lhe-way corner, where the "sulky" flowers won't be noticed. THE SKY FOR. JUNE There is a conjunction of the Moon and Jupiter on June 6, 1950. but at i.l.4'1 a. m.. it will be invisble. Next cl-ay. June 7, the Moon is in its Last Quarter. June 12, the Moon is in Apogee. distant from the Earth 252,200 miles. June 15, New Moon. The Sun enters the zodiacal Sign Cancer on June 21. at 18 hrs, 3'1 mins., and summer begins. On the same date but an hour ear ier, there is a conjunction of the Moon and Saturn, (Invisible). June 23. the Moon is in its First Quarter, and on June 2'1. it is in Perigce, distant only 224,- 900 miles. June 29. it is Full Moon. The Moon as it travels around the Eciiptic, makes a conjunction with each Planet. in turn, but in summer when the light floods the sky. these events are not conspic- uous. and are scarcely worth re- cording. "June 21,-Summer begins". This is called the "Summer " 'ticc', the latter word implying that the sun stands still! what. really hap- pens is that the Sun rises at the some time for several mornings and sets in the same fashion for several evenings, following which the days begin to shorten. Late frosts are dreaded in the first weeks of June and the sow- ing of tender vegetables should be deferred till they are past. An extra-late frost damaged acres of potatoes on June, 21, 1918. Tom- .atoes and beans hung blackened and dead. Readings from several points showed 24 degrees. F. what a contrast on June 21.
