The American Mute-lion Fox Breeders Association had one of their representatives attend both the New York and Huth sale to protect their pelts, of which they had 13.000 to sell. Most of these pelts were 19w but some were of 1945 vintage not sold be- cause too high lhntts had been placed on them. Mr. Todd is afraid that this ls a fault with too many ranchers and has a tendennl’ l0 clutter up the market. His reiso-n- lng is probably correct. There is no question that had we been satis- fied last year to take lower Drive! at most of the sales. our Canadian pelts would h-ave been cleaned u? and the market started 0n a fresh basis.

The sole record of this bird in the 1016 Teachers’ Bulletin. states that a Caspian Tern was taken at ‘rracadle in 1905 As with many other birds on our list gunners see no advantage in shooting them, so records are few. Like all the Laridae, terns are light and graceful fliers, and it is noticeable that they fly with the bill pointing downwards. The Cas- ‘Dian Tern feeds on small fishes. ibut as it is believed to be a disap- lpearing species. it is unlikely to do much harm. THE POTATO (S) About the middle of the l-ast century, the potato crop in Ireland failed and a dreadful famine en- sued. The Irish people had learn- ed to depend on the tuber almost entirely It, was elsily cultivated and yielded in such a ratio that one man's labor could teed 40 peo- ple The climate was so mild that the Cottars who grew the potatoes. began to leave them in the ground ‘winter. At last a freak winter (17931 partially froze the crop, and ine of 1845 in which 250,000 people perished, England sent across the Irish Cilannel 3.000.000 cooked so uttdevcioptd that litany com- ‘lnutiitics t-utlid not. be reached.

A remark of his well illusrates the value he placed on the tuber as an article of nourishment. “A horse fed on potatoes end compelled to work. loses wcigilt: when he does no work. his weight relllllins unchang- ed,“ He mls saying that active muscular exertion producc-e a bod- ily loss by "motor change" which the tuber is ltnxlble to replace. What of its effect. on the Irish who at that time depended almost entirely on the potato in their diet? Lie-big pronounced "Raleigh's dan- gerous gift" st; little endowed with the body-building plastic matter that a. man living solely upon p0- tatoes, must con-sumo a very large quantity to keep himself in health and strength tevcn if he can do the latter; witch ittrsicrgolng any- thipg like exertion" From seven to eight pounds per day is by no for a means air unusual unlount llboring Irishman to consume." but analysis showed that ten pounds of potatoes contained no more nulriment than a pound and a half of good wheaten bread; and tests showed that for long-contin- ued exertion, the Irish laborer was a long way behind the English- man with hi; wheat and moat o: the Sect with ills oatmeal.
