“We have never had better Foxes nor in better
condition, and we feel the credit is largely due to your
Imperial Fox Biscuits.”
The above is an unsolicited testimony from one of our
Islz1nd's leading Fox Ranches, which has an Intemational
reputation for highest class foxes, and which feeds Imperial
Fox Biscuits-liberally, using at least two and one half tons
monthly. V -

600 Or More Prime
‘ . Black Beauties To
Be Exhibited.
(Canadian Press)
f Breeding stock purchasers
from different parts of the
Dominion will be attracted
to Charlottetown by what is
billed as “the greatest silver
fox show in the world.”
Prince Edward Island,
birthplace of the silver fox
industry will parade 600 or
more of ranchers’ best speci-
mens and the black beauties
that win s`ilver cups big
enough to jump into are bid'
for by fox farmers anxious
to improve their stock.
Last year an Ontario buy-
er paid $500 for one of they
grand champions,
“From a small beginning si! YW-YS
ago, our show has grown in size and
importance every year," Walter
shaw, secretary of the Silver For
Exhibitors’ Association said yester-
day: "It will as in other years at-
tract a large number of breeders
from the rest of Canada. Prince
Edward Island still has the finest
strains of silver fox." ~
Many Exhlblian
Entries for the exhibition were
flowing in from every part of the
Island. Dr. A- Teacles ‘of Sussex,
NB., the only ew Brunswick entry
last year was expected to again be
represented.
Two big store windows full of
glittering silverware, cups and med-
als offered for competition went on
la Charl ttetown tod

Thero are 17 championship trophies
and more than $2,000 in cash
awards.
The exhibition was started as an
experiment in 1929, Mr. Shaw ex-
plained. It was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the ranchers and the fol-
lowing year the association received
750 entries.
Then competition became keener
and keener. Breeders showed great
discrimination in choosing their
vixerus for show purposes. A fox
distemper _epidemicin 1931 preven-
ted an exhibition being held in that
year but it came back strong in
1932.
Educational Value '
"The big advantage of the show,"
said Mr. Shaw" is in its educational
value. Breeders have .an opportun-
ity to lea.rn the fine points of fox
farming by watching the Judging
and they are able by observation to
make their own selections. The ex-
hibition has been a very potent in-
fluence in the distribution of im-
proved breeding strains and oners
breeders establishing ranches. '
George Callbeck, past president of
the Canadian National Silver Fox
Breeders’ Association, Bummerslde,
will be the Judge.
Paradlng the valuable furry crea-
tures before prospective buyers and
the public is s far cry from the
early days of the industry when ev-
ery move wss made in secret and
high board fences surrounded
ranches. ‘

lottetown will be the annual dinner

sociation. Tuesday evening in .1 lo-

Old fox landmarks are being ob-
literated by the march of time.
'I‘he most. recent to change hands
is Union Vale Farm which is being
purchased by James Maund. the
present manager, from the McLure
and MacKinnon Bllver Fox Fa/rms,
Limited, '
The property consists of 138
acres of land, 86 under cultivation,
with excellent buildings. and Mr.
Msund is to be congratulated on
securing such a fine property.
However. what we started out to
say is that it was once one of the
most highlv capitalized silver fox
farms in this provision In the year
1014 the late J. Stanley Wedlock
organized the Canada Atlantic 1“~
V01' F03 UOUDBHY. ¢8l>ital. $1,000.*
000. and large blocks of the stock
were taken by wealthy men in
Upper Canada and the U. S. A.
A very fine ranch was built in
the wooded part, the pens being
fifty by fifty with separate male
pens for each breeding pen. lt was
stocked with forty pairs of foxes
and Ray Clark was installed as
manager. It was a success as far
as production was concerned, but
the drop in prices due to the war
made it a non-dividend payer and
‘after some years continuance the
remaining shareholders were
bought out by Mr. Wedlock.
On Mr. Wedlock’s departure to
the U. B. A, the property was sold
and purchased by McLure and
MacKinnon, who conducted a
ranch there until 1931 when it was
considered more economical to
operate as one unit at Vimy
Ranch. Prior to the sale to Mr.
Maund most of the pens had been
dismantled and the wire and
material moved to Vimy Ranch.
We need hardly remind our
ranchers that Monday is Classifi-
cation Day i.n the Main Building
at the Provincial Exhibition
grounds, Charlottetown. Hundreds
of foxes will be arriving from all
parts of the province for the big
show. Judging will start Tuesday
morning at nine o'clock. The
building and judging room are in
top shape for the fray, everything
clean and well arranged, with
some 560 crates ready to receive
the silver fox beauties.
The other evening I ran into my
friend Dan Jenkins and he asked
me if it was true that we were go-
ing to pelt some foxes and I said.
"Yes, Dan. it is not only true but
it is an accomplished fact. We
pelted thirty this morning. They
were the most advanced ones and
although a. bit blue I believe they
will command fairly good ' prices
and should average around $60."
On retuming to the office I looked
up the year 1933 and found that
we had forwarded 62 pelts to
Hudson’s Bay Company, London,
by express, October 26th. They
were killed on the 15th of October.
One fetched £38, the highest price
that' fall. and others brought £31.
£30, £28',§, £28, £27, £26 and lesser
amounts. The average of the 62
was $74 net.
I am not writing this to advocate
wholesale pelting of foxes early in
the season. I have found from ex-
perience that it does not pay, but
\there are exceptions such as when
a fox is heavily furred and he
shows signs of breaking across the
back and you are afraid of him
going off color. When that situ-
ation confronts you it may be just
as well to pelt.
Borden Fox Show will be held
on Tuesday and Wednesday, No-
vember l9th and 20th, and will
be open to registered and un-
registered foxes ranched within
the province. Substantial cash
prizes as well as other valuablei
prizes including trophies, ribbons.
fox feed‘supplies, etc., will be
awarded the winners. Captain
John L. Read is the President and
E. 0. Bell, Secretary. Those inter-
ested should get in touch with the
Becreta.ry‘ who will be glad to for-
ward copy of prize list.
Mr. E. H, Monkley, summerside.
and _ Stephen Taylor of Little
Bhemogue, N, B., have been ap-
pointed Judges ior the Borden
Fox Show, November 19 and 20.
The first of the fall silver fox
auctions will be held at the Hud-
son’s Bay Company auction room
on November 18th. This sale will
consist largely of Norwegian skins
and wild caught Canadian skins.
The Norwegian season is about a
month earlier than ours and they
usually monopolies the November
London auctions, their furs being
mainly marketed through 1-Iudson’s
Bay, Frederick Huth & Company
and Lsmpsons. The next sale will
be December 10th and there should
be quite a number of Canadian
skins on that auction. The last re-
ceiving date for either auction will
be nine days previous to the sale.
The l’9P0rt of the autumn fur
auction of the Hudson's Bay Com-
pany for furs other than silver fox
which was held on the first and
third of October, 1985, has arrived.
The Company say: "Our offering
consisted chiefly of an excellent
collection of fresh skins from all
Canadian districts, together with
several choice parcels of Russian
goods and a rather stale collection
of Scandinavian furs. In view of
the unsettled state of political sf-
falrs in Europe and the slackening
which had been noticeable for the
past month in the American de-
mand, it was expected that satis-
factory competition would be lack-
ing. Such was not the case. The
home trade supported nearly every
article. France was well represent-
ed, while German buyers with
freshly granted credits. were able
to bid for the furs associated with
their needs. American interest was
keen in lynx, and extended, but
with greater regard for price, to
cross fox.”
The above report is printed in
eight languages, evidence of the
wide distribution of furs sold by
the old company.
From the above optimistic report
we may very safely assume that
there will be a-corresponding good
demand for silver fox and that is
hear-toning to us all. Believing that
we as fur farmers should know
what is doing with other peitries
we are publishing results of a
number of classes of furs sold at
the above sale.
