In appear- ance they are like little crabs with a dozen Ieet sticking out, There seems to be wiggling continuously. Their effect on the fox must be terrible, particularly when they gain access to the inner ear.

The Norwegian Silver Fox Breed- ers Asociation have sent their chief inspector, E. Rochmann, to Canada to study animal health conditions. He will also visit the United States an; Rosin after leaving Canada. For this purpose the sum of $1.250 has been pro- vidcd from the state vetinarian re- search fund. The membership of the Nor- wegian Silver Fox Association stood at 6,147 on the first day of Jim- unry. i937. Last year 55 fox shows were hold and 10,224 silver foxes and 119 blue foxes were given awards. They have a curious cus- tom in Norway in that if there are eight foxes apparently alike that grade the bcst in a classification, all cight receive first prizes. The same, of course, would apply to seconds, thirds, etc, so you can now figure out how it is possible in award over ten thousand rib- bons at 55 fox shows. Pelt rtntistics from Norway show that 200.000 silver fox pelts taken off in the fal‘ and winter of 1936 were sold then and this Spring and of these 64,438 were offered through Norwegian auction sale;, with 62.208 sold up to and in- cluding the May sale. These aver- aged 136.76 kroncr, equal to about $39. The highest priced pelt brought $160. The prices received for Nor- wegian pclts in London and other markets averaged about the same.
