Agrictilture at: Ottawa which appear; below, Since its inception in the early 1800's the fox industry has gone through three critical periods. The first was in 1920 when the United. $tates Government placed a duty of 50 per cent on silver fox pelts ent- ering that country. As it was the Principal market for them, Europa not having recovered from the war of 1914-18, the blow was a staggtr- ing one. But the margin between production and price. even when the 50 per cent duty was paid, was sufficient to pay the rancher for his trouble. The next tough break cams in December. 1939, a tow months af- icr liitici‘ had invaded Poland and the European war had broken out. With the 1,200,000 pelts front all countries, which were producedl that year, i0 be sold and markets disrupted because of war, prices dropped to the lowest of all tirnv.
