Too true. We have been ignoring the oom- mandments of God for years and now we are reaping what we have sowed. “A Day of Darkness" On Friday, May 19th, 1780. a re- markable phenomenon occurred in the United States. 'I‘he morning dawned fair, with the wind from the southwest. Between the hours of ten and eleven, that point of the compass showed a growing dark- mess: the sun was rising towards the zenith but gave no increase of light. On the contrary the dark- ness continued to increase till be- tween eleven and twelve it was so great that lamps and candles were burning in all he houses. It was a superstitious age, and most people believed that "the end of the world" was at hand. In one of the legislative chambers-I am sorry that its name has slipped my mind -the honorable members wished to adjourn for such a. momentous oc- casion, but their gallant leader ord- ered lights to be brought, adding, “If it is the last day, I would be found doing my duty." Another writer says: "At twelve the darkness was greatest . . . . The birds in the midst of their blithesome forenoon engagemelts, stopped suddenly, and singing their evening songs, disappeared and be- came silent; the fowls retired to their roosts, the cocks were crow- ing in their accustomed manner at the break of day." This seems to have been the time of greatest ob- witnessed the phenomenon believed that the darkness at its height could not have been more dense, had every luminary been blotted out of exist- ence. "The dnrkness of the follow- ing evening was probably as deep and dense as ever trad been 0-b- served since the Almighty first gave birth to light . . . .A sheet of white paper. held within a. few inches of the eyes, was equally in- visible with the blackest, velvet, , . The denseness of this evening darkness was a fact universally ob- served and recorded." Some of the happenings seem to be those accompanying a solar eclipse, but local writers unite to bar any such explanation.

On Thursday, July 30th, 48,- 000 ranch mink and 15,412 wild mink will be offered, and on Mon- day August 3rd and Tuesday the 4th, 300 platinum, white-face, ring- neck and various color phases, and 10.500 silver fox will be auctioned. This sale will give a very good in- dicatlon of the present trend for the new types as well as silver. It is the first auction since the new ceiling of prices has been set. The ceiling set is the highest prices fom July to December 31st, 1941. In conversation with Mr. W. Chester S. McLure, he is of the opinion that the prices as set by the above ceiling are favorable and he looks for an mprovement in fur market conditions during the com- ing months. Andrew Jardine, Freetown, was a. visitor to the city a. few days ago. Andrew has a very nice bunch of pups this season that are as usual doing well. He has made much progress in four farming the past few years and recently realized nice prices for a number of pelts. Wilfred L. Todd writes under date of July 18th from Boston, Mass, o. very interesting letter in which he says: "I was in New York last week and it was hard to get a good white-faced pale silver pelt under $85.00 and a. few were held at $126.00 to $132.00 each. The mar- ket for foxes seems to be good in New York and a fair demand. Mink and other pelts have weak- ened considerably, and clumping a large quantity of pelts on the mar- ket at one time has ruined the price of mink for the time being. '1‘urning to the matter of produc- tion of white-faces find that it is somewhat under that of the stand- ard silver female, so we do not plan to keep over 10 per cent white-faced females next season. Wefoundttlistobethecasoinsix ranches where I have foxes. I have the finest platinurns this year I have ever raised and most of the best ones are from one-quarter to three-quarters fine quality silver females. Fine guality dark silver and half-silver emales are going to be very useful to cross with pat- inums. I also have some very at- tractive white-face, cross and plat- inum cross pups that look very good to me." With reference to Mr. Todd's re- marks re the darker type of fe- males being mated with platinums. we remember he ex ressed the same opinion last fal when in conversation wit-h him at Summer- side he said, "Be sure if you have platinums to tr out a cross with a real good medum silver female. You may be -and I think you will be-surprised with the good results obtained." Here is something for our fox breeders to ponder over. The United States Bureau of Customs in a statement recently given out gives the figures of im- portation of silver and black fox pelts up to May 30th this year as 41.774 from Canada and 14, 079 from other countries. The total quota for all countries is 1000.000 so it will be seen that there is a wide margin for importation up to December 1st. T. M. Dix, who was the first to import Ullman platina foxes from Norway to the United states, died recently at Everett, Mass. At the time of his death he had a number of these foxes on lease in various ranches includingjoromm Brothers. Prom information which we have received recently we learn that the average mortality among pups when moved from parent ranch to large runways ranch in northern Michigan is as high as 10 per cent caused mostly by distemper. Thu distemper" germ is carried Dy rats, mice, squirrels and other small ani- mals, it ls believed. We were always taught to believe that fox ranching had to be carried out in a cold climate and this is pretty trile. but. it is a fact that there are approximately 125 fox farms in California with about 20.- 000 animals and that the value of these farms with animals and equipment has been placed at $3,- 00000000 They are usually located high up in the mountains where they have sufficient cold to fur out the foxes in the filrring season. In the region of 131g Bear Lake in the San Bernrtrdina Mountains at an elevation of 7.000 feet. more than 5,000 foxes are concentrated in a district one mile lvidc and three miles long. Another favored district is at Gardenia in a low coastal valley near the ocean and at Redondo Beach, a little above sea, level. Here the heat is tempered by sea breezes and the nights are cool Artificial shade is Provided so that sunlight may not e feet the color of peltries. The latest development i a shed which is well ventilated bu excludes practically all light. At the lower elevations wire-flooring spread with a layer of straw is used. No ill effects have been rc- ported from the use of wire floor- ing, although some breeders in England are of the opinion that it causes sore footpads and inal- shaped feet. In the mountain district which is free from sand fleas, the gound floors of these shelters are covered with peat moss or sawdust slightly dampened. California breeders have made their market live fox shows, carry- ing off a number of sweepstakes and many prizes. In common with other breeders throughout the world Californians have con- centrated their efforts on produc- ing full silver pelts as nearly as possible. During the last two ears there has been a. marked ten ency to breed white-face and platinum strains. Californians have on od- vantnge in that large stores in cilleSNAPSl-IOT GUILD PICTURINC THE FARM /' _ _n If you want lama good picture subjects, take the time to visit a farm.

Slip a few rolls 0f fresh fllln into your pocket-some "chrome" film for outdoor snapshooting, and some fast "pan" for picture taking in- doors or when the light. isn't very strong-and you'll be all set. Take along a medium yellow filter for your camera, and a lens shade too. Picture making on the farm is one of those things that might be- gin with daylight if you're up that early-though I'll bet you're not. In any event, the earlier you get started the better, because tllcn you can make e. series of pictures as the farmer milks the cows, feeds the chickens, tends to the horses, and trims the stock out to pasture. Working slap by step-or pfrrturl by piilillre-in that fashion is all excellent way to approach any photographic subject, particularly one as big as a farm, because it keeps you from missing snapshot opportunities. And if you're look- ing for just a few good pictures, perhaps to cntcr ill a photographic contest or salon, it gives you many negatives from which to choose. But getting back to the picture possibilities on a farm, don't fail to get some pictures of the men working in the fields-as in our illustration, for instance. Look for interesting angles as they plow or barrow the land. If you stand back some distance you'll fllld that l. plowman makes a pcricct center of interest for a. landscape. Keep your eyes open and you'll find action, still-life, animal, story- telling and human interest picture! in abundance everyvrllero that men work in the country. 359 John van Guilder .i-h~-; -_ .- - Finest Salad Crops are Harvested in the Fall Victory Gardeners will find that the finest salad crops (:1 till: whole year are harvrsteci ill filo iirl.
