     The raising of silver foxes in cap- 
     
     tivity was first successfully achiev- 
     
     ed by Sir Chartes Dalton and Rob- 
     
     ert T. Oulton in the Western section 
     
     of the Island,- subsequently, silver 
     
     fox ranching has grown into a 
     
     sound basic industry although it is 
     
     at the present time only in its in- 
     
     fancy. The limited number of silver 
     
     fox pelts previously taken from the 
     
     wilds did not create sufficient vol- 
     
     ume of business to interest the fur 
     
     trade in general. As the number 
     
     increased the fur trade began to 
     
     compete for the business in silver 
     
     fox pelts, and this competition pro- 
     
     duced a more favorable condition in 
     
     tlle industry. In the vicinity of two 
     
     hundred thousand fox pelts have 
     
     been placed upon the market annu- 
     
     ally during the past few years, but 
     
     facts indicate that this number is 
     
     insufficient to meet the demands 
     
     existing in London, Paris and New 
     
    

    
     ork. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Canadian National Silver 
     
     Fox Breeders’ Association was es- 
     
     tablished in 1920 to identify foxes, 
     
     establish pedigrees, to weed out un- 
     
     desirables and to advance and safe- 
     
     guard the industry in general, The 
     
     Dominion Experimental Fox Farm, 
     
     established at Summerside in 1925, 
     
     also works for the betterment of 
     
     the fox industry by publishing 
     
     bulletins, pamphlets, etc., dealing 
     
     with the difficulties of fox raising 
     
     and supplying helpful suggestions 
     
     from information secured through 
     
     their experimental work. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Prince Edward Island blazed the 
     
     way into successful fox ranching, 
     
     and exported thousands of foxes to 
     
     other countries, where they and 
     
     their progeny have done credit to 
     
     their Island ancestors. It is ‘estim- 
     
     ated that the Fox Industry is worth 
     
     some $3,000,000 annually to the 
     
     people of Prince Edward Island 
     
     and it is an industry that has 
     
     weathered the storms of depression 
     
     better than almost any line of hu. 
     
     man endeavour. 
     
    
   
   
    
     FISHERIES 
     
    
   
   
    
     Paramount amongst our fisheries 
     
     stands the lobster industry, which 
     
     provides an annual revenue of ap- 
     
     proximately $900,000 each year. One 
     
     of the bright features of the year's 
     
     activities in the Province is the fact 
     
     that notwithstanding a quantity 
     
     decrease in the fisheries industry, 
     
     there has been a very large increase 
     
     in prices received at the boatside. 
     
     Unrevised figures for the period 
     
     ending August 31, 1934, show a to- 
     
     tal quantity of 16,979,800 lbs., with 
     
     a boatside value of $569,606, as 
     
     against 18,088,800 lbs., valued at 
     
     $367,275 for the period ending Aug- 
     
     ust 31, 1933. The increase in lobste 
     
     prices is particularly noticeable.
