l Fumely Notes On Fur Farming

A despatch is a New York far magazine states that Jsillll ll-I Inn-ted to export ranch mink sldns for this season in small quantities. The average price is roped-Oil '0 b. upon: I: per skin. About five yesrs hence the ranches in Hokaldo will be able to produce approxi- mgtely sp,ooo pelts a year for ex- port, according to figure compiled by the Japan Raw Fur Associa- tion. The survey shows that 319 breeders have been lmnortlns since 1953. More than half of their mink have been brought in by Toho Mink Company and the rest have been divided between Hokaido gov- ernment and other smaller ran- ches. This is just one small mink breeding establishment in Japan but we understand it has been financed by American money.

Mrs. Don Pearson of Minneapol- is, Minnesoi , is the winner of the Palomino Name the Mink Contest. Mrs. Pearson won with the name Diadem, which has been selected by the Mutation Mink Breeders Association as the trademark name for EMBA pelts produced by Pal- omilio. buff and similarly colored mink from member ranches. the nearly 2,000 separate entries of more than 10.000 names receiv- ed in the contest from fur farm- ers throughout the United States. Canada and other countries, five persons submitted the name Dia- dem. Mrs. Pearson was de lared the winner on the basis the earlier postmark of her entry. As her reward for submitting the name of Diadem first Mrs. Pear- son will receive a trio of palomino mink for her own herd.

There has been quite a bit of worry in the United States about feeding raw unwashed tripe and a writer in the U. S. Fur Rancher says that if a mink rancher is to use beef tripe this summe and fall and wants to pick the safest product. certainly scalded beef tripe would be the choice. This is not to say that raw, thoroughly washed beef tripe cannot be used but it would be somewhat of a gamble at this time to feed breed- er mink any tripe that is not en- tirely clean. The heat treatment used in scalding tripe will not destroy silbestrol but does help to get a clean product. Where possible

0' of one per cent of total pelt sales.

some ranchers may find it worth while to feed raw tripe to mink which they know will be pelted.

There is no particular reason to advise against this.

It is generally agreed that pro- duction is down this year. Every- one would llke to know why. Many feel that exclusion of tripe from the diet may have had something to do with poor production. This was undoubtedly the most ovide spread change in rations this last spring. of course, no one will ever know for sure what caused Door rpoduction. Perhaps it was not the exclusion of tripe that did it but the substitution of products of lower nutritional value.

President Arthur MacArthur of the EMBA has announced that Otto Grosse of Northwood Fur Farms of Cary. lll.. has joined EMBA. Mr. Grosse made a state- ment saying that he was just as glad to be in EMBA as they were to have him back. That ever since the inception of fur farming or- ganizations he had been a strong advocate for cooperation lldver- tising and promotion and that even in his Fellow Rancher let- ters when he was not a member of EMBA, he advocated selling through EMBA and urged mem- bers to attend their meetings and listen to all the Association's iro- gram and promotions. He .eels that EMBA has a terrific pr0"'.'am which if carried out properly can cover every section of the world and that he will support the EMBA promotions in every division.

MacNeill, at Fort Qu'appelle, Sask. George said he had arrived prior to his father's death and convcrsed with him and that his Dad knew his case was hopeless but was quite resigned. The funeral was the largest ever seen in that local- ity, with promincnt persons from all over Saskatchewan attending. The Hon. Mr. Gardiner. Minister of Agriculture. flew out from Ot- tawa to attend the funeral. The floral tributes were marry and everyone from the humblest cit- izen expressed regret at the pass- ing of the pioneer who had done so much for his home in the West.

George, reading about the op- portunities in Newfoundland for Mink farming, decided last fall to locate there and went there and acquired land and built a ranch on which he has a shed 32 x 400 feet and fitted it up with the latest equipment for watering and feed- ing. On the 2nd of January he left Fort Qu'Appelle with a trail-
