The regulations goveming membership and the rights and privileges of members are so stringent that the breed- ing of every fox registered, as well as the bona tides of the ronipanv' or individual owner may be regarded as absolute- l_\' authentic. The Fox Enrolment Act is, in a sense, supplementary lo the above. it empowers the Commissioner of Agricul- ture to open and keep a register for the enrolment or registration of all foxes kept in captivity, whether silver, patch or red and the correctness of the information so .registered is provided for in a similar manner to that for li-gistration ill the Silver Black Fox (_‘ompany’s registra- tion. These two acts together with the new Companies' Act should do lllucll to strengthen the fox industry and give confidence to ille investing public.

These three acts now put the fox industry on a basis second to none ill Canada or the United States. Tllosc interested in the fox lndustry would do well lo emphasize this and further, to see that nothing is per- mitted in the flotation of companies or the selling of shares which will conflict with the letter and spirit of the law.
