Heavy buying soon after the opening lifted wheat more than d cents, corn 7 cents, oats 6 cents and soybeans 6 to 8 cents Traders at- tributed much of this buying to short-covering and activity by pro- :1..| a-lzl commercial interests taking advantage of the recent pnce break.

ROD MlcDONALD, 800N100"- B- R l- examination of the 14-342-10- Ib-ll-II. Silver Fox Far ming ' James P. Manion, Assistant. Cs- nadian Trade Commissioner, visit- ed this province on Thursday and Friday and had interviews with ex- porters iu Bummersicle and Char- lottetown. He is particularly inter- ested in potatoes, fish and fur ex- ports. George A. Callbeek, Manager of the Fur Marketing Depaitment of the Canadian National Sliver Fox Breeders’ Association, Summerside, informs us that they have sold all their pelts which were consigned to them. At the recent September sale in Montreal where averages were cons'dered so good, the Association bought back some lines that did not reach their limits. These they have since sold at their limits, showing that the market has strengthened even since the September sale. That. is good news. for fox farmer friends. Herbert A. Nieman d: Company, largest breeders of silver foxes in the world, had a two-day offering of approximately 11,000 silver fox pelts on the New York Auction Company's sale last week. They had a 98 per cent turnover at quota.- tiolls averaging l0 per cent higher than those realized at the June sale of the same types of merchan- dise. 10,075 full silvers brought a top price of $102.50 and an average of $43.00, 507 three-quarter silvers brought an average price of 832.08 and 336 skins sold at a $30.09 aver- age. The grand average for sll pelts tvas $42.09. The above cleans up the last larlze lot of silver fox pelts in the United States. The Niemans had divided their total pelts into three offerings. With the disposal of the above there remains practically nothing except the skills in deal- ers’ hands. The Niemans pelts will be manufactured into fur collars, fur trimmings and even full silver fox coats, capes and neckpleces by the manilfacturers of whom over forty were present to grab the cf- fering. The above news from the markets does certainly insure us s starting point at least 25 per cent above last season's. For the first time in years the fox farmer can look forward to receiving at least the cost of production plus a small profit. The Fox Field Day last Wednes- day under the auspices of the Si‘.- vcr Fox Breeders‘ and Exhibitors’ Association arid the Provincial De- partment of Agriculture, held at Raoul Reymonds ranch, Southport. in the forenoon and McLure and MacKinnon silver Fox Farms, Ltd. in the afternoon, was a grand suc- cess. An average of I20 ranchers attended and the displays were wel‘ carried out. Mr. Reymond specializ- ed on the new types, white-face, ring-neck silvers, near-plaiirlums and LaForest platinums. Many very gratifying comments were made on the progress he has made in breed- ing these new types. At the Mc- Lure and MacKinnon Company's ranch a large number lif silvers, pups and adults, were shown and the gathering taken on s tour of the premises. There were also e few of the new types exhibited. The pups were large and well furred and those present were quite in- terested in them. The next big event on the pro- gram will be the Provincial Fox Exhibition which takes place st Charlottetown with receiving date Monday. November 10th. The show will be one of the largest ever held in Canada. Preparations are being made for 725 foxes. George A. Callbeck will judge all classes. The prize list will afford an opportun- ity for all breeders of silver foxes to exhibit, also those having the new types including plstlnums. It is planned to have it s big affair. one that will give courage and im- petus to all our fur farmers. Later on. the week of January 5th, 1942, will be Provincial Pelt Show dates with Summerslde ss the display Dolnt. Ranchers are reminded that they should hold out at least some of their top pelts for the pelt show. It was a big success last year and it is hoped it will be even b‘gger this year. PART 2 (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) OF DR. C. K. GUNN‘S AllTlgLg ON PELTING. T . How can we conveniently deter- ‘mtne when our foxes have reached the prime state? Just when and (what should we look for in the live for fr) I x as it ls approaching petting time? Before answer-in these questions it might be advise 1e for us to ex- amine the sequence of the growth of fur as it occurs over the differ. ent body surfaces of the fox. From microscopic and gross ex- it has been found that. the fur be- back of the neck and between the 3' ears is quite often all that is ne-i cessary," for 'in the unprime state , the guard fur appears flat In this body area. The findings here can readily be confirmed by pulling out a. few hairs from the nape of the neck and if the roots of these are‘ devoid of pigmentation when ex- amined under a microscope or hand lens then the pelt is prime. It has been found front regular examination of groups of foxes of different ages, that the fur of pup foxes omes prime about a month later than that of adult foxes Now with these facts in mind about the life cycle or individual fur hairs and the sequence of h of fur over the body of the fox let us consider the subject oi furring rations. Fur hairs are comprised of modified body cells arranged in the form of cylinders which may be round, flattened or oval in cross section, and may have two 0r three concentric layers of these cells. The layers somewhat. resemble the rings of growth on a tree. but thev are usually limit/ed to an outer thin scaly layer, the cuticle, a middle layer, the cortex, and a central core, the medulla. some hairs have no medullary layer. In pigmented animals such as the fox. the colouring matter "Melanin" Ls usually present in the two inner layers of the fur hairs. From a chemical point of view fur hairs are protein in nature and are synthesized from amino acids obtained from the foxes‘ diet. They belong in the classification of pro- teins. known as “scleroproteinsfl which include the substance called "keratin" of iltllich fur hairs are chiefly composed, Now the question might be BSIL ed why we cannot grind up waste fur hair and feed it to foxes dur- Lng the furring season since it would seem to contain all the es- sentlal amino acids necessary for the building of new fur hairs? Unfortunately proteins of the‘ keratin type are not easily broken down into their constituent amino acids by ordinary digestive pro- cesses and lt is therefore necessary to obtain these from the other pro- tein sources, which are chiefly, those of the meat and cereal p01‘. tlon of fox rations. It happens that the meat pro- teins particularly stimulate growth of the guard fur whereas the cereal portion of the ration forces the growth of the undcrfur. But since the normal sequence in the growth of ful- is for the underfur to follow the guard fur, it is not advisable to force the growth of underfur too early in the furrlng season, or it grows at the expense of guard fur and gives rise to woolly. fat foxcs in which the fur readily breaks open and ls inadequately covered with over-fur Ideal conditions 1n furrlrig are obtained when the underful Just reaches maximum fullness and skin prlmcness as the guard fur has attained its maximum growth, lpeak of bloom and colour , since the fur hall's are protein ;ln composition and we learned |from a study of the sequence of the growth of fox fur. that the fur be- gins to grow On the belly then con- il/ITIUCS on the sltics and finaliy a. long the middle line 0f the back, it is apparent, therefore that there is an ever increasing number of fur hairs commencing their growth during the furrlng season until s maximum is reached. ‘This suggests ‘the necessity of an increased a- mount of protein in the dict of‘, the fox during the furl-tug season,‘ articularly to keep the fur grow- ng continuously at this time. bc-l cause of the greater tendency of l fur to go off-color if for any rea.‘ son the growth is inhibited or slow» 1 ed down l Usually fox ranchers make changes in their fall rations tol take care of the extra requirements during the furring season by gradu- | ally increasing the meat protein in the ftlrrlng season until such rid os i, as 40 per cent-do per cont or even , 25 per cent-75 per cent, cereal tot meat proportions, in the rations‘, are reached. Here it is well to keep in mind that pup foxes can stand greater forcing than adult pcltcrs. -a.s the former use the extra pro- tein to complete body growth as well as for the production of fur. If adult foxes are forced with meat proteins too rapidly during the furl-lug season, there is a tendency for the guard hairs to become prime too early and go off.color before {he foxes are fully iurred.
