The interest manifested in the matters in hand. " as evidenced by the large and representative attend- 3' ance from practically every section of the province, 0 was in itself encouraging, while the report of the Sales m Board Commission was virtually a guarantee of the stability' of the fox industry and a definite promise for its future. m .\ iiiimbcr of points, heretofore btit indiiierently recognized, were proven beyond question, the first e and chief being that the pelt of the ranch-bred fox, t ranch bred under proper conditions, is not only of much greater value than that of thc wild variety, but u that within a measurable length of time, the latter 0 will be otit of the market. Another point in this con- P nection is that, so far as experience goes, Prince S Eiltvard Island climat_c and soil provide the best pos-I sible conditions for thc production of thc best silver d fox fur. 'l`o quote from the report: “ I":irticul:irly were we gratified by the praise given to our genuine P. F..
