Various other sets were twelve. thirteen and fifteen feet; all tbesalavtter on Prince Street. in front of Mr.- Thomas Ailey's house on Prince Street were four trees at eighteen feet. but thus. which are pretty well grown, show that a much greater distance is advisable where possib '

is.

In Greet Geome Street (south- ern end). the present location of gas pipes. drain. etc. on the east side, would compel any planting if done without altering the ar- rangement of the street. to be at I minimum distance of twenty or twenty-four feet.

Mackiniayis report. Queen Square Gardens

At a meeting of the public gar- d-c-n committee. a. subscription list was opened for the purpose 'of de- fraying the expenses of beautify- ing Queen Square, it being dc- cided to lay off and edge the walks, plant flowers. stake trees, etc. Mr. Arthur New-bery was re- quested to secure the services of an experienced person - one

from the Public Gardens, noun. if possible -- to take charge of the Square. . The chairman was requested to draw up a mem -i l. petitioning the Dominion and Local Govern- ments. as well as the City Coun- cll. for a grand. to meet the ex- penses. A 'ttu is also to call upon persons interested for ” dptlona. Ladies wishing to plant flowers can have beds allot- ted to them on app cation to the secretary. livery pl utlon will be taken to protect the grounds.

Suggestions

An avenue of eims and rock maples leads from, Pownal to Rochford Streets, along the south side of the square, thence along the west end of the square the avenue is continued to Fitzroy Street. It is suggested that in the near future Fitzroy,Streei should be carried across Government Pond. and into the Brighton Road. A complete avenue for foot pas- sengers, and a broad street way of eighty feet in width would thus be formed, leading from the Main Street direct to the Park. The avenue at the south side of the square will also lead to Govern- ment House bridge, along Kent Street.

If Esplanade Street were to be carried across the Douse property to connect with West Street. which connects with Kent Street at the

Editorial Comment.

In commenti on the above ac- tivities The Examiner of May 26. 194 remarked editorially:

"Never, we think -though the

day was rainy -- did the Queen's birthday eeldbration pass off with more general sstisfactlon: and it is worthy "of note that no one was killed. drowned, or even hurt. The tree-planting was confined to no class. Rich and poor, learned and ignorant, old and young, men in public positions and men in priv- ate life planted trees . . . Having all sorts and conditions of the people interested in the undertak- ing. we have an additional guar- antee that the trees will be pro- tected against the assaults of their enemies. Strolling cows and bad boy: will be watched; and both, we are bound to say. will be pun- ished with the utmost rigor of the law. Many of those who planted trees on Rochford Square have, we observe, placed 'protect.orsi round their respective trees. and their example might well be fol- lowed. . "Grant credit is due the general committee of the Arbour Society as well as the sub-committees and secretaries for each of the Squares: and Messrs. R.R. Fitzgerald and A. B. Warbux-ton deserve special mention as the projectors of the movement."

"I spent five weeks in central Europe visiting . E 3, auction people. manufacturers, retailers and fur trade journllists. Let us start with the fox breeders. In Germany the fox industry has gone the way at all flesh the same as in North America. There is hardly anyone left. The few who are still in the business have very small herds and the total produc- tion potential is so small that it seems incorrect to speak of the whole operation .as an industry.

"rho mink breeders are much more numerous but the individ- ual operation is on a very small basis. A 100 female ranch is about the maximum size. The pens are for the most part the 1928 model and the kennels are of the two- room and a bath variety. A pelts.-r pen or pelter shed is unknown. A very popular fur animal over there is the nutria and the domes- tic oultlvation of this fur bearer is wide spread. One reason for its popularity is the chespness and availability of feed. Another rea- son is that the German mr pro- cessors have developed new me- thods of dressing nutria pelts into a product that is really very beautiful. Then: is one single very tiny chinchilla operation-strictly promotion-ral. certainly not big enough to deserve a separate par- agraph in this report.

"In Germany there are a num- ber of keepers of wild caught Stone alndfor Baum Martens. They are almost lnlvariarbl-y state or -privately engaged Foresters. They put wild caught young mar-

ten in-to pens and keep them un- til polling time. Such marten are practicality worthless for breed- ing purposes although they are sometimes offered for sale as breeding animals. There is. how- ever. one actual -breeder of mar- tens and he is quite successful. All the desirable offspring from this operation have crossed the ocean via Pan American Airlines and are now safely and happily at borne on my ranch. In Switzerland too there is one actual breeder of martens. C O 0

"Th0 mink People are an inter- llll-lnl lot They are to a large ex- Wllll lllllta young people with big ideas. Visiting with them is like turning back the clock two dec- ades. Breeding stool: traffic is quite heavy and is fed to an important decree by , yments made by the new Gennan Federal Republic to people who fled or were driven from their old homestesda. People who have means are heavily taxed to help refugees. some of whom in turn use such money to purchase mink breeding stock. Germany has smart operators who manage to obtain loans to go into the mini: business. !t. is hard to rejoice in this revival of the mini: breeding industry when one contemplates that it is financed largely by a tax levied against an already overtax- ed people.

"rho feed situation is still very tight and there is no reason what- ever to assume that it will im- prove. Even the breeders living close to the scscoaat find it is dif- ficult to get enough suitable fish and meat by-products are very dif- ficult to obtain because of the very stringent meat inspection laws of the country. Cereals are freely available but cach rancher has to concoct his own proportion. A commercial product is not av- ailable. The attitude of the ranch- ers towards the newer mutations is very interesting. In a way they are interested and in another way they say the mutations are no good and are not suitable for Ger- man tastes.

C

"This information is justified in some measure by the general ex- perience of the retail furriers. The retailers find that the women call for a standard mink scarf and in- slat on its being standard because this type alone is generally rec- ognized by the German women as "mink". in all of Western Ger- many there is only one fine retail- er who is doing a wonderful Job in pioneering mutation mini: and his experience proves that with proper promotion the public can be enthused. The general poverty of the population will of'course limited the sale of mutation mink. The German workmanship is ex- cellent but their style is atrocious. This styling too. seems to be dic- tated by the consumers who con- sider a. coat length shorter than a skirt or dress length improper and therefore impossible.
