Breeders in Oslo, Norway, it was decided that all countries should keep down production in the best interests of the industry. Canada has apparently- down that. However. we are not so sure abiut mink, certainly not about fox breeders in.Noi-way, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. While fox breeders in Canada and the United States cut down their herds after the Inter- national meeting in Charlottetown and still more after the Interna- tional meeting in Norway. this year Norway marketed over 200.000 sil- ver snd mutation fox pelts. The last 100.000 could not be market- ed in Europe which was the usual place to dispou of them (because of embargo) so a trade was made

A despatch from London to Wo- men's Wear Daily, N.Y., has the following: - Scandinavian mink prices promise to average between 313 and 514. according to a sur- vey of the mink and fox markets in those countriesf by Max Weiss and Son. The report states: Pelt- lng in Scandinavia has started in earnest with blue foxes first, fol- lowed by mink. The quality seems excellent and one can look forward to it good season in this respect.

120 kroner for a silver fox owing to compensation, to accept now 75 kroner or 80 kroner for the same article, or still leg for .blue foxes. Stocks have dwindled very much and the trimming trade has taken up fairly large quantities. so that the situation may be regarded with a little more optimism.

The above despatch does not of- fer very much cnwuragemcnt to Canadian or American silver fox far- mers to remain in the business. The Norwegians seem to be able to feed foxes very much less than we can and to count their labor-.as worth

rinder-pest entered Africa from the northeast in 1889, and desolated a great part of South Africa. It reached Zambesi in 1895, spread- ing on through Matabeleiand in 1898, and by 1897 had almost ex- terminated all horned cattle. buf- faloes and antelopes. Of all the vast herds of cattle in that great country, ”probably not more than 500 animals survived".

plague. From very early times, re- cords mentioned fatal plagues of cattle, but the descriptions are so incomplete that it is not possible to identify them.

In 1349, a plague broke out in England among the cattle. The diseased cattle were slaughtered. and the infected herds and herds- men were isolated. In 1480. an- other plague occurred among cat- tle. causing great losses; the symp- toms have not been recorded. they were very similar to cattle-plague, but there is evidence that the outbreaks which occurred in 1715 and 1745 and continued until 1757, were those of cattle-plague. It ap- peared again in 1865; this epi- demic was introduced from St. Petersburg, Russia. Of the 46 an- imals brought from St. Petersburg,

Pakistan. India, Afghanistan and Ethiopia. A recent dispatch said: "Rinderpest has killed a million head of cattle in Ethiopia alone in 1952". No one knows how many cattle there are in Ethiopia. but the number is estimated at from seven to twenty-five millions. The most recent estimate suggests there are eighteen million head.

At an international conference

as a, centre for collecting and dis- tributing the latest information concerning control measures and vaccines, etc., for the extermina- tion of rlnderpest.

Using Ethiopia as an example, the following control program was started in 1947, with funds then available from UNRRA. During the first two years, a laboratory was built at Addls Ababa. and ll staff organized, the Government secured the necessary field equip- ment and local personnel were trained for field work.

A start was made in 1949, and 20,000 animals were vaccinated. The farmers were very suspicious of the crews of fled workers, and these suffered from violence on several occasions. Work was con- tlnued in 1950, when over 150.000 head were vaccinated. The farm-

It is believed that if all the gov- ernments concerned will continue their active interest and coopera- tion, rinderpest can be wiped out before many years. This would be of untold benefit to the millions of small-scale farmers in eastern lands and Africa. to whom the loss of a draft bullock, their only source of power to cultivate their

Rinderpest is one of the most serious reasons why the annual production of meat in under-de- veloped countries is only eight per cent of their total livestock, com- pared with thirty per cent in Am- erica. It is true that breeding, feeding and management are im- portant, and that there are other discaseshbut where rinderpest out- breaks kiil up to ninety per cent of the animals, other efforts are about nullified; as even crop pro- duction is greatly reduced with the loss of their only source of power for cultivating the land.
