FOX FARMING After two days of rest fox farin- ing was the first of the Island in- dustrles to claim attention. .001. MacKinncn, president cf the Exhi- bition Association, acted as guide and showed me the great exhibition building where from November d to 9 will be held the "Silver Fox Exhibitors’ Association Show" when about 5M foxes will be on display and judged. ‘There is a regular amphitheatre at one end of the building where the judging is done, with the light so arranged that enthusiasts in the remotest seats can see every detail oi the judging being done on the long low table in the centre of the room. This show is visited bv many hundreds of sightseers and also by important members of the fur trade from every province in Can- ada, many of the states to the South. and men from Britain and the Continent. From the Colonel I learned that fox farming is stead- ily on the increase in the island. and that few live foxes are now sold except to establish new Island farms.

PAIGE Perhaps to Westerners the term "Oyster Farms" will seem rather odd‘, but oyster beds and their care is a very important industry in the island and a special laboratory is maintained, which gives those who are engaged in oyster production and oyster fishing exact date. as to what should and should not be done. The island now supplies oysters to sll the very large hotels as far west as Toronto and prac- tically all the big clubs. The Island is the home of the famous Mal- peques, called after the bay of that name, and served cocktail or on the half shell are a “dish for the gods." The industry has recovered from the over-p. ‘uctio a of some years ago, thanks to the good work oi the Dominion Department of Fish- eries, and is now in a flourishing condition the production running about 6,500 barrels annually. A re- cent official report places the yield of a single acre at 1,200 barrels. The story of the experiment by the Department of Fisheries gives a fair idea oi how the restoration work was done. One-third of an acre of suitable bottom in Malpeque Bay was cleaned of mud, mussels and starfish and 4,000 barrels of shells on which the "spat." or baby oysters had been collected, were, planted on this bed. This was in 1929. In i933 the bed yielded 356 barrels of oysters and it was claim- ed at least 50 additional barrels and many small oysters, not fully developed, were left on the bed. When you want to engage in oyster farming you do not buy, you can only lease. This arrangement came in under the restocking plan in 1932. At the present time there are some 45 leases in existence and 35 are in Malpeque Bay region. Iieases are to run for 30 years with privilege of renewal. The rental is $1 arr acre for the first three years and 83 per acre after that and af- terthe first five years the lessee must pay a reasonable royalty. The average size of an oyster firm is a_Jittle over four acres, though there are a few farms that are only one acre and the very largest, it is claimed. is 5% acres. Canada altogether produces about 24,500 barrels of oysters, New Brunswick being the largest pro- ducer and Prince Edward Island next, but if you are wise you will not discuss the relative quality of the Island arid the New Brunswick oysters. Personally I voted for the Island, but was careful not to men- tion the fact in Saint John.

FRED COOK CONCLUSION minisc should publicly acknowl- edge the many kind letters of IP- preciation which I have receives from all parts of the Dominion, and some even from the United States. It was with diifldence that I faced , the taskwhichI hadbeen urgedto= undertake. Unfortunately for many years I had not kept a diary, but, luckily, I had retained a ccllectifii of historic documents, and letters from Canadian statesmen and others, which served to refresh my mem y. Once started, the pictures of the past fifty years were recalled vividly. And now, when f lay down my pen. I am reminded that I have still sufficient interesting material to occupy my spare time for some weeks. One thing I was determined upon when I commenced the series, and that was to be accurate. Many an hour have I spent in the Parlia- men‘ y Library verifying days and dates. To the library staff for their kind assistanc my acknowledge- ments are due. Of the many letters of commen- dation which I have received, none pleased me more than that of Ma's. Marshall, widow of my friend, Mr. Joseph Marshall, who sat in the House of Coimmons for East Mid- dlesex from 1881 to i896. It recalled many pleasant incidents of my early days in Ottawa. Other compu- mentary communications also con- tained valuable suggestions for fut- ture articles. My warmest thanks are due to my newspaper friends in all sections of Canada for their generous sup- port. Only in two or three instances was the offer of the memoirs tumed down. Principally on the ground that the reading public would not appreciate and did not want “old- time stuff." It is difficult, in ad- vance to combat an inion of this kind. but experience of the last few months has shown, to my satisfac- tion at any rate, that these pub- lishers misjudged the situation. One of the most cheery aspects of my work has been the thanks I have received, personally and by let- ter from college students forg point- ing the way to facts in Canadian history during the past half-century which otherwise it would have been difficult for them to obtain. To sll my friends throughout Canada for their kindly words of encouragement I now say "Au Revoir.” FRED COOK. Ottawa. October 26th, 1934.
