l serveoommendation (Orihfi l mendous amount of effort

ably this past week. A surprlsing amount of fox was worn around town-mo the theatre and smart restaurants and hotels in the up- town area. At last week's final performance of the National Horseshow and at the Sadler Wall's ballet many in attendance chose the platin and Norwegian blrus foxes, fash oned into capes and stoles to wear over decollete cocktail dresses, The most cons- plcious pattern is the cape-stole with shaped back and rounded stole ends. A popular variation is the pocket cape stole that has cape back and square patch pork- ets set on thestraight stole pan- els.

Mink appeared to be the most glamorous fur seen chosen by young and mature in a variety of silhouettes. Many women wore their full length mink coats. the newest looking were those that had luxurious sweeps, small col- lars and huge cuffs. By order of count though. the smaller pisses outnumbered the longer ones seen this tar. 1n particular, those easy- to-wear capes and sling capes which most fashionably dressed women firicl so convenient to to wear over suits or evening gowns.

The chinchilla breeders have about ten times the amount of pep and goaheadness that we sliver fox farmers have, despite the fact that there has not been an auction sale of chinchilla furs that we have knowledge of for years. and the last one that was held in New York only disposed of a very small percentage, yet they go ahead boosting chinchilla having style shows and live shows and now we note where the first lifter-national chinchilla show will be held in Denver, Colorado. January Zl-Zi. Over 300 chinchtllas will be shown by some forty exhibitors from the United States and Canada and possibly South America chinchilla which is being arranged by Harry Maxwell, President of the color- sdo organization.

Over twenty years ago we were intrigued with the possibility of chinchilla farming, not here but high up in the Andes in Peru, Chili. A very enterprising Mari- tirner who had started a silver fox ranch in Great. Britain svas the author of the scheme. He made a trip to South America and was convinced of the feasibility of chinchilla farming there. We. how- ever, after learning of all we could about the matter, could not. figure out that it would be a safe investment proposition and any- how what funds we had were tied up in fox farming and other ent- erprises hero. We believe some sort of eoo-rrpany was formed and whether they were the people who brought chinchilla to California and started chinchilla farming there from where it spread through the United States, West- ern Canada, Ontario and Quebec we are not certain of, but the pioneering spirit of the err-Marl- tlmer no doubt had a good deal to do with it.

In the long ago we have seen a few pieces of chinchilla fur that had its origin in the faratvay places of South America and it was oi considerable beauty‘ hilt ll? passed off the world's markets some twenty-five or more years ago. Whether the fanned chin- chilla can take the place of thl! wild article or not we cannot say. but the promoters certainly de-

and energy as well as cash resources they are putting into an endeavor to popularize the fur.

The results of the sale of mink and stlver foxes held by Lam-P-

Tuesday were received by the Canadian National Fox Breeders’ Association, Sumrnerside, P. E. I. as follows: — Ranch mink offered, 14.209; sold 92°12; advanced 30'“.- compared with Dcccmhri‘. i949- Top price $31.00 for trail-blood males; $27.00 standard Yukon males; $15.25 for standard Yukon females. Silver fox offerod. H.732 color phase and slivers; sold 3.1%: top price, $21.00 for Plziiiniims. $14.00 for Silvers. Unchanged as compared with October, 1949.

The foxes sold were from the Associated Fur Farms. one of the oldest and largest producers in the U.S.A. They have out down their breeding foxes to l0”. of last year's and will specialize al- most entirely in'the production of mink.

There is going to be doings over the ice this winter-Bert Younker and Al Cuicliiife have brought in the pacer Bob Dale 2.18 by Lauder- dale. This horse started racing in 1947 and had winnings of $183.66 and in i948 had run his money winnings up to $1,905.65. Last spring he was purchased by par- ties in New Brunswick and show- ed sensational flashes of speed, pacing halves in‘. 1.02 and just sim- ply running away from his op- position. l-le should be s bearcat on ice. Right now Bert Younker is jogging him daily so this is servhig notice on Sam Kennedy who has Jean Henley 2.08 l-4 and all the other fast pscers in the Province.

Man, that can pace eiflsths on clay in fifteen seconds u easy as wink. Still another fast ice pacer is expected here. none other than the redoubtable Peter Budlong 2.10 so it should be a lively winter.

Iteaclers will resnemfber that Ann was sold in the fall or! 1947 for a large a-mbuni of money. Her record then was 2.11 4-5 and her winnings $2,951.00. The next soa- son racing under the colors of Arthur B. McGee, Houlton, Me. she won all along tfhe line, being credited in the Year Book with ten clashes and numerous plac- ings, licr total at the end of the season being $5,477.90. Ann has shown her heels to some of the host pacers in the state of Maine aiiri she nlso won in fast corm- panv at Roosevelt Raceway. Til-re dissolution of a partnership placed her and other horses on the mar- ket and Mr. Callbeck is indeed fortunate lo have her back. Many would certainly liikc to trade places with him. Her eligibility for 1948 was 2.16 class, it is prdb- ably around 2.14 class by now. Congratulations to George. ‘NIVJ vvill have a wonderful brood mart- in the daughter of Abner 7‘.

inns was due for v.'01~k at 8.30. the other at 9 o'clock, so at 7.45 we began to gather u-p our decoys. We later learned that we had missed the boat — and how. At 9 o'clock over 100 geese piled into this stubble field within range of our pit. Later two farmers wwnn- ed their way along a dyke until they got within range and shot three. Not bad work for single- barrelled guns.

s

Two weeks later I heard that three geese hm] come to a ‘rig’ set out in a stubble field at Mount Albion and all three wound up in a roasting pan. Maybe they were the three that tsntallzed us that morning. Although there were a lot of geese shot I cannot truth- fully say that I noticed any ap- preciable lessening of their num- bers . . . .. not in some sections at least. As the season entered on its last hour of legal shooting I ivatched a flight of geese moving along the Flat River Plnette shoreline headed toward Point Prim. In l5 minutes approximately 200 geese passed s given point. The flocks were evenly spaced in- dicating they were headed for some specific goal. The largest held 40 birds and the smallest five but. the average flock ran between l0 and 16.

Several have. shined ms why the geese stood so much punishment this fall without pulling out for

parts unknown. To my way of

t titers were two reasons. first: the goose season’ didn't open until October departure from previous seasons when both geese snd ducks open- ed together. Hundreds arrived in September and the first few days of October this year and thus had several weeks, practically unmolested. in which to piok out

selves at home. They weren't fired at and hounded the minute their feet hit a stubble field or fresh water lake.

U O I

Secondly: Geese will take s. chance of running the gauntlet of guns if food to their liking is ab- udant. This Province was bless- ed this past season with s heavy B118 if food to their liking ls ab- crop of oats and barley. Not only was there a rank growth of straw but the grains were plump and filled to the bursting point with rich meal. Furthermore e heavy storm, just ss cutting was under way, battered down some heavy stands of oats and barley and in many fields the ground was liter- ally covered with plump grains,

O I O

The 40 sore barley field at Flat River is an example. After being battered by s. storm it was harv- sated with a Combine. This me- thod leaves a. considerable amount of grain on the ground even if harvesting conditions are ideal. Under conditions as existed in this ested with a combine. This me- lnstance hundreds of bushels of barley were left on the ground. Geese srs very fond of well filled barley and were loath to leave this bounteous feed table.

I O I Hundreds of geese sre still with us. Two days after the season closed l counted 170 in one field. Goose hunters had a full season's shooting and should be willing to call it s. day and quit. If geese are allowed from now until winter sets in to feed unmolested, they'll be certain to return in greater num- hers next fall. It's up to all inter- ested sportsmen and farmers to sea that hunters respect the closed season on geese and ducks. O O O
