FORD MOI)!-IL T. INCIDENTS l

The first car owned by the Dominion Experimental Statioii,l Charlottetown was a Model T F'oi'd,' gist had been used by another epartment oi the Federal Govern- ment. lt had met with an accident when being driven the previous winter, when the piston shalt had broken through the side of one of the cylinders. The car had been abandoned for the winter where this happened.

At that time. during World war I, was almost impossible to se- cure authorizatinn to buy new equipment for the Station. Money was available for repairs, however, so that we were able to arrange to tiransier, buy another engine, and we had a car that gave ei- iicient service for many years.

A trip was made to Tignish in West Prince County, about the time the Western Road from Suin- m.erside to Albcrton was under major repairs. Long stretches had been 1)l0llRl'lP(l, and some grad-l inn was being done at. the time,l, clay was being hauled t.o cover stretches of corduroy. We started west with chains on all four wheels, and though the. axles fre- quently dmgged and levelled sods, iair time was made until Just beyond u here the Tory Road joins the Western Road near Pnrtagr-. On the curve around the Lot 10 Bottomless Lake, the chain on the right front wheel caught on the end of a stick in the corduroy, and as there. was only direct steer- ing assembly, it jerked t.he steer- ing wheel out or the drivr-r's hands. The. car landed in the ditch. out rniiiaiiied upright, it was backed ionto the road and one or the first lautomobile. trips to Tignish was

Almost three-quarters'of the males brought 520 and up with the 520 to s24 ybrackrt at-roiiiitlniz for an estimat- ed 46's oi the total sales. About hall the females ranged from 512 and up while. the 510 to 512 lbracket constituted about 50'.'. of the offering. In the opinion of the sales room standard ranch mink prices are continuing fully firm compared to a year ago and in many cases pelts are bringing bet. ter prices than the 1952-53 sea- 5011.

And heie is a report on the Hudsonis Bay Companyis fox sale which states that blue fox fresh goods, advanced 5'1. silver tox lrcsh goods, very firm. Here are the prices: Blue fox. Scandana- vian. pale. 117 sterling; medium, 26 155; dark, 126 M. Silver fox, Scand-inavian, full silvers, 1:8 sterling lbs; three-quarter silvers. i7 155; hall silvers, 139 15s; quar- ter silvers, 128 10s. The pound is worth 32.80 in Canadian money.

A daspalch from Oslo. Norway, dated February 17 has the fol- lowirrg:- An offering of 2800 blue fox was 95'(; cold at an average price oi 103 kroner 1314.42: and a top of 175 kroner (32450) Some 3000 silver tox were 51".. sold at an average of 512.46 and a top of 327.10. These prices were along the same lines as the previous day's sale except for the better prices paid for top quality blue and silver fox....With reference to the above, the best price in Norway is the top price we have seen anywhere for an auction sale of silver fox and the best average. Of course the quantity was not large.
