After the judging was completed the exhibitors and officials met at the C.N.S.B. Fbx Assn. office where the formal presentation of trophies was held. Mr. L.

Color was much better and in all more good pelts were on display this year than in previous veers. After the present- Btlfm 0f irroohies the chairmen call- ed upon the various winners to ad- dress the assembly. Mr. George Caibeck, Chief In- spector of the Association and the top winner of the show express- ed his opinion that fox ranchers generally must step up the qugljty of their ‘herds, It was useless. he contended, to carry on unless also did cull and continue to cull until onlv fDDs were left. - One bio, factor in producing good clear pelts was. in his opinion, sanitation. This ccu'-d not be stressed too strongly. In the new types watch out for blueness. He believed foxes in th‘s province were becoming smaller and the remedy for this is to feed the young puns heavier.
