aheep and cattle ranch in Utah and also had some banking inter- ests there. Those who met Mr. Francis during the session of the International Fur 1"a.rmers Group held in Charlottetown some years ago were much impressed by his earnestneu, fairness and other good qualities. His retirement will be a very distinct loss to the Association which he has served so well.

George SouTiaxik,'head .of the soudack Fur Auction Sula, Ltd. of Winnipeg has expressed the view after a six weeks trip through In- raei and European countries that opening prices for Canadian wild and ranch mink may be expected to be about the same as last De- oember or pouibly 10 to 15 per cent stronger than mid-winter (January and February) rlevels. Pointing out that the car-ry-over of last season's mink is not great Mr. ” d' ' said, "The decks are cleared for good action on mink.” He expects various phases of mut- ation mink to ibe in especially good demand when the season opens in December. As fun the new season's ranch and mutation mink crop, he points out that Canadian ranchers are more concerned with improv- ing the quality of their pelts than with increasing production. There- fore he feels there will be no in- crease in the Canadian crop this season, if anything there may be a decrease because a number of ranchers lost many kits during hot weather spells last spring and sum- mer, also higher operating costs and declining prices for mink pelts in mid-season last year caused a number of prominent ranchers to leave the field. He does not expect any notable increase in the wild mink catch this season. The wild mink crop was at a low ebb last season, he said, and it usually takes a number of years for replacement of the supply. The general decline of the Canadian wild fur catch last season was attributed by him to lower prices which caused trappers to seek other employment. There was also the loss of kits and unfav- orable weather conditions.

0 O The supply of iieaver, he said, is definitely on the rise because of the conservation programs intro- duced by Czmadian governmental agencies. In some areas where bea- ver was almost extinct last season these measures have improved the situation greatly. Questioned about the effect that the United States ban on seven Russian furs would have on the Canadian market. he said that as yet there has been little noticeable change in the de- mand for Canadian wild furs. It

had been expected that the Unitod

states demand for Canadian er- mine would increase with the ban on Russian ermine. Thus far this has not materialized. Also because Canadian muskrat is protected against imports of foreign muakrat the banning of Russian muskrat by the United States has brought little change in the Canadian trade. .

Commenting. oi: the growm of the Scandinavian mink breeding business he said, "Scandinavian mink finds a market among a cer- tain class in the trade just as North American mink finds a different market. He was particularly im- pressed by the State of Israel and its little fur industry in particular. He said the workmanship of Is- raeli fur manufacturers is compar- able to that of the best American makers. Their main problem is that they cannot buy nough merchand- ise because they need long-term credit. He urged the American fur trade to assist the young nations little fur business 4y investing in Israel.

At 9. meeting of raw fur dealers held in Rochester, N.Y., it was announced that they expect to pay less for pelts when the season op- ens than last year. They agreed that prices would, barring a sud- den change in the inarket, fall in these ranges . beaver, :20 to 3251: mink, s12 to sin: raccoon. 50c to t3.25: muskrat. 51.50 to 52.00.- skunk, 50c to 31.75." They predicted animals will be more numerous this year but that the pelt crop taken by trapper: would be small because of low prices.

The embargo on Russian furs is costing Russia, U. 5. dollars. In January. 1952. only 5678.000 worth of furs came from Russia compared with 31.183000 for the same month last year. February hit a new low with s155,ooo as against 31.830000 in 1951. but March came up with 52.593000 agalntt only 51,198,000 last year. With April's report in the four months drop is 5481.790. The import figures are based almost en- tirely on three furs-squirrel. 3763.- 000. marmot. S72-1.000, persian lamb 5415.000. Ermine, kollnsky, fox. marten, mink, muskrat and weasel are the seven prohibited furs. To- tal shipments on these furs in 1951 amounted to 36,680,000.

What may be t.he.start of an or- ganized boycott of Ru"sian furs took the form of picketinrz by thir- teen models in front of the offices of the British-American Fur Com- pany, New York City, recently. These brokers had received a. con- signment. of about 51 million worth of Russian perslan lamb skins. Thirteen girls appeared in bathing suits armed with signs. "Don't Buy Russian Furs. Buy American Fur-." "We Don't Like Russian Furs-We Like American Wolves."

Many wise weather prophets are predicting an early Winter and cer- tainly this week has shown symp- toms ot it. Foxes and mink are fur- ring up very rapidly and it may be possible that we will have a fall like that of 1938 when the farmers were caught with turnips frozen in the ground. but we hope not. How- ever, it looks as 'hough the Direct- ors of the Provincial Fox Show showed good judgment in putting their dates forward this season. The annual show will open on Novem- ber 10th and continue until Friday the 14th. It is expected thatall the leading fox and mink farms in the province will have entries and that a real good show will be the result.

VINTEIINATIONAL PLOWING MATCH

The Ontarion Plowmen'a Associ- ation held their 34th International Plowing Match and Farm Mach- inery Demonstratlon at the Carp Airport, Carleton county, October 7th-10th, 1952. The first Intemv.- tional Match was held at the Sunnybrook Farm. York County, near Toronto, in 1913, and except for 1918, when it was cancelled because of the nation wide ”Flu" epidemic, and. the years 1942-45, when there were no matches be- cause of war restrictions, this co- lossal plowing match has been held each year. It has been held in 24 different counties through- out Ontario during that time. Seven counties have had the match twice, and York County has held the International Plowing Match four times.

Twenty-nine preliminary plow- ing matches had been held by the branches .of the Ontario Plow- men's Association throughout On- tario this year, before the Inter- national. On October 1th, the opening day, there were nine plowing classes that were open for eleven counties of eastern On- tarlo, and four plowing classes open for four .counties in Western Que- bec; these were held at Carp, on fields that were part of the 800 acres available for the forty-four classes that were contested during the local counties' day and the international competitions. Twen- ty-two plowing matches have been held since the InternationatMatch, this year, and there are seven yet to be held in that province.

Location

This year's International Plow- ing Match was held on and ad- joining the Carp Airport, which is at the junction of Ontario Road Routes Nos. 17 and 44, and about twenty miles west of Ottawa. The area chosen was one of the finest farming districts in eastern Ontario and one of the most rer- tile in the Ottawa Valley. Most of the fields were a deep loam. with very few rocks or stones, and with the exception of twelve ' for stubble plowing, five of these were for boys and girls. The plowing

matches were carried out on fields of good grass sod. , Organization

The president of the Ontario Plowmen's Association is Mr. Rus- sell Beilhartz of Bruce Station, and the secretary-manager, Mr. F. A. Lashley of Toronto. These and 28 directors, staged the gigantic four-day match. There were five committees responsible for: Lands. demonstrations, concessions, pub- lic relations, prize lists and troph- ies, and the general planning for the 1952 match.

The Carleton County local com- mittee of eight, however, who started planning and work a year ago, during the 1951 match at Woodstock, Oxford County, chose the chairmen for the twenty corn- mitiees to deal with every phase of the colossal undertaking. Six of these were from Carp, and all deserve the highest commendation for a. tremendous undertaking well done.

Weather

There had been an all-night rain that had. well soaked the grounds. This was followed, the morning of the first day, by low clouds and a light drizzle, which stopped when the sun broke through from time to time and except for an occasional drizzle, the rain held oi! throughout the day. Along the at. Lawrence River about six inches of snow had fallen and cars arriving from south of Kemptville were snow- covered

The opening of the Internation- al Match proper came the second day, with the weather clearing and the thermometer rising. On the third day the weather was greatly improved. The sun shone most of the day, and there was very little chill in the air; however, the best weather was reserved for the fourth and last day, when the competitions for the overseas trips were held. It was then clear and cool, ideal weather for plowing, and for the thousands of inter- ested vialtors who travelled from farm to farm to see the plowmen at work. Great numbers of visit- ors were conveyed by trailers that would hold about forty persons. These trailers were moved by tractors, and went from place to place throughout the whole area.

Competition:

The much advertised Class No. 11. sod Tractor Plowing, open to mayors of municipalities in the Province of Ontario, held at 2.45 on the afternoon of October 8th, drew such crowds that the high- ways were blocked for many miles, and it took hours for the 37,000 visitors to reach the Carp Airport. An estimated 12,000 watched this event, with its many humorous

testanis that took the event very seriously; three of them were ladies. Mint of the contestants had professional coaches. The judge strictly followed regulations, and Mayor Allan Lamport of To- ronto, wan. All of the other class- ea held that day were stubble plowing, and in the Visitors” Class, No. 10, with tractors, Mr. Sterling Moore of Charlottetown, P. E. Is- land, was fifth. He had 15 com- petitors, and Mr. Graeme Stuart of Plalnfleld, Illinois, who had been a champion,in open United States competitions. twice, won first place. The second, third and fourth places went to Quebec plowmen.

Mr. Sterling Moore was also entered in Class 4, tractor stubble plowing, in which there were 36, the largest number of competitors entered in" any class. In this and in another class, he failed to finish in the money. Mr. Glen Morrlssey, of Cherry Valley, P. E. Island, who was coach for Sterling in his matches, was one of 28 entered in the "Trans-Atlantic Class open to all plowmen (except trlans-Atlantic trip winners) who have qualified at Branch Matches after October l3, 1950, and to plowmen from other provinces in Canada."

All other entries in this tractor sod plowing contest were from Ontario, and they came frank all parts of the country, from suit Ste. Marie to North Gower. The contest was held in the CB.Vil.l'.- augh Field No.'2"i on the Carp Airport, and attracted great crowds of spectators. The writer counted fift.y'tractcr plows and 29 horse- drawn plows in this and other classes at one time in this field.

As previously mentioned in The Guardian, Glen had the misfor- tune to break a plow-share coup- ling, and failed to'be placed in the money. Mr. Doug. Reid of Brampton, Ontario, was the win- ner. He and Algae Wallace of North Gower, who won the horse- drawn jointcr sod-plowing cham-
