Robinson pre- sided. Dr. Archibald in his opening rc- marks gave a review of the fox industry. He brought greetings from J. D. Gardiner, minister of agriculture, who, he said, felt the need for some assistance in the fox industry ln the some manner as in other agricultural lines. Dr. Archibald said it was a great , thing this gathering of foxmen for the purpose of finding what value ls placed on onefls own foxes. The influence of such demonstrations along these lines of agriculture has been found to be 50 to 60pm- oent in improvement. The fox in- dustry has now become Dominion wide and the time has surely come ibr more research work in this particular industry. Fact-Finding Institutions Describing the methods of the illustration stations as applied to other agricultural products, Dr. Archibald said, these stations are owned by individuals and are used more as fact finding institutions. They are situated all over the country and have proved of great benefit to the farmers u a whole. Hon. A. O. Taylor, minister of ag- ricultuxe for New Brunswick, had made the suggestion that some such illustration station could be of much assistance to the fox ran- cher. Dr. Archibald said that he approved of the suggestion but it would be left to the ranchers themselves to decide to what ex- tent it would be of use.

Don Amechc, with the csistance of his dead-pan assistant, Ned Broadening Industry Dr. Archibald pointed out the advantage of raising other fur- bearing animals as a companion industry to the silver fox industry; In other parts of Canada it was practiced quite extensively. Even in the raising of silver fox there was plenty of room for careful study and development in the va- rious color phases. Dr. Archibald expressed pleasure at the work carried on at the Iflox Experimen- tal Station. Ranchers required more knowledge on the basic foods and the percentage of digestability and usefulness of certain classes of meats and cereal. There seemed to be o wide diversity of ideas even among intelligent breeders as to the value of certain meats and Sparks. is able to prove that Sonja and PRINCE COUNTY CHR Lauds Efforts To‘ Improve Silver Fox Industry Dr. Archibald O-I-bttawa Stresses Value Of Illustration Stations In Address To F oxmen. i Dr. Alchibald, superintendent of the Experimental Farms Division.

Citizens of Summerside were showing their appreciation of what the fox in- dustry has meant to them by get- ting behind this new movement. Mayor Robinson lald emphasis on the fact that one cannot stand still. Any business must go either forward or backward. The idea behind this educational feature is progress. He congratulated the Provincial Government on the in- itiative they have taken in organ- izing the fox study groups. In closing he extended a hearty wel- come to all and particularly to representatives of the study clubs. Hon. WJ-I. Dennis congratulated Mr. Arnett and his committee in the foresight and vision they had displayed in arranging the feature which would be beneficial to fox- men in years to come. Speaking of the work his department hnd undertaken in organizing study clubs, he said the government re- alized that there is keen competi- tion in the fox industry and close cooperation among foxmen is need- ed if we are to hold our place in the fox world. He appreciated very much the assistance given the de- partment from the fur houses and prominent ranchers in helping them put over the program they nad undertaken in assisting the fox industry. Premier Campbell was then call- ed upon to officially open the show. He congratulated the fox commit on the widespread in- terest they had created and the ready response to the movement by foxmen from all parts of the pro- vince. It was fitting that Summer- slde should be the centre chosen for the first demonstration of this kind on a large scale. The Board of’ Trade had taken the initiative in this instance because they re- cereals.
