All the sbovc in contrast to the yardage found in the coarse. long furred wolf type of pelt.

What brought about the disgrace and low price of the White Mark this, year? Was it the type n; qual- ity? Here tr. Michigan we had »ll too many White Marks sold as breeders the last few years that were more like skunks with a white ring neck. They did not possess the above beautiful t of fur. When and if the trade willing to pay a premium for a beautiful pelt, the good breeders will produce ii. I regret to say that some ranchers are breeding for quantity instead of quality, all roba-‘bly d-ie to the low prices oad for better than average pelts.

When and if someone comes through with one or more real cause of clie-vinz and a remedy for same. it ivill mean thousands at dollars to tho rancher. No iii- dividual or association has as yet solved the problem of disposing of the chewed or low qualit pelts. The best theory or suggest on of- fered is to burn them. This idea. however. plays right into the hands of the parties who would deal 1r. there low grade or damaged pelts. Many ranchers are not sending them to auction with their good pelts. However, Lhey land there and in the same category and same s-ale-wvhlch does not make sense

The Platizn-im pelts have been a life saver for most of us. Ways and means sil0l11d be started to maintain this popularity, to pre- vent their golng the way of the lie Mark.

Ono of the things that I observed on coming to the Island was the shortness of the potato-tops In the Old Country these are freq- PEHUY referred to as "White-vines". A friend sends me a press cutting that bears out the termz- "A seed

Mankind has always had a light- ing problem. Ii: the Scriptures lamps are mentioned as existing in Old Testament times.

Until the advent of the Europeans. the Eskimoé usco hollow stones blubber and mos for wick to light- en their darkness.

Lamps of that kind are not found in the Saxon ZLnies, for the art 0f candle-mag? had been intro- duced into taln, possibly by fan missionaries. We have al raid the story of King Alfred's candles. which were enclosed in horn lanterns.
