The American government has passed a 84 million loan to aid domestic lur farmers and it will be administrated by the Farm Grade Branch of the Department of Agriculture. The loans are avail- able to bons. flcie fud farmers who are financially distressed due to economic conditions ln their in- dustry, to finance the breeding. Jeeding and marketing of ‘pelts and to carry on their fur farming operations. The administration ex- pects that most of the loans would be made _to qualifying mink or fos farmers.

The purpose c! the loans ls not to enable fur farmers be refinance their indebtedness or to expand their operations. it was explained. However. they may include, where Inecesse-fy. funds w make minor repairs and reasonable improve- merits which will enable the farm- er to progress financially and to

Properties

Each loan will carry the full personal liability of the borrower and ls to be secured by collateral which will reasonably insure re- payment. such as pelts, fur bearing animals and their increases. Ad- ditional liens on feed. equipment, real estate arid other property may also be required, it was stated. The applicant also will have to show the Regional Agricultural Credit Corp. that a qualified bank oi:- pro- duction credit association or other lending institution will not make such a loan as he is requesting from the Government, it was stated. The program-i is not intend- ed as a substitute for other sources

4 of credit, nor is it intended to

compete with other lenders, the agency explained. Rather. it is to supplement other sources of credit when needed. -

In special cases where refinanc- ing is essential to enable the fur farmer to continue operations, R.A.C.C. may refinance existing indebtedness however. but this in- rlcbtriers will have to be reduced before refinancing can be done, according to the regulations. Where ii creditor is unwilling or unable to

credit for continuing the fur farmer's operations.

When the applicant for a loan is .-i corporation the note must be in- dorsccl or guaranteed by the hold- er or holders ot at least a majority or the outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporate borrower or hy the principal stockholder or stockholders. Interest will be at 5% pc-r cent a year and an additional charge of 1 per cent of the loan proceeds will be made to partially reimburse the R.A.C.C. for inspect- ion and other handling costs. cost of title examination and recordings of necessary legal instruments will be borne by the borrower.

We understand that it has worked out very well and that in the case of silvers there may be no loss —- in fact there is a good chance if the market improves that the other types will come through equally as well, at least that is our hope and the hope of all those who have been instrumental in having this asistance to fur farm- ers inaugrated.

Saslc, Dr. MacDonald was born in Bedeque and has numerous relati- ves hare. As ayoung man he at- tended St. Dunstan‘: college and was a member of the famous foot- hall teams of 1002-1903, The latter year St. Dunstans was the out- standing Maritime football team. defeating the Abeswelts at Char- lottetown and decisively defeating the Wanderers of Halifax. They had arranged to play Dalhousic. but after witnessing the game be- tween the Wanderezs and St. Dunstan! the Dalhouslans did not press bhC_Iill-IH’. There were many famous players on that team who afterwards attended colleges such as McGlll, Queen's University and St. Francis Xavier ' and added further to their lame and that of the universities.

Dr. MacDonald's Alina Mater was McGill, where alter a splendid srholsstic recozd he eventually started practice in Saskatoon when World war 1 broke out he Joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force as a. medical officer and had a brilliant record in France. being awarded the D.8.0. and the M.C. with mentions in despatches. Re- turning to the west he settled down to practice in Saskatoon and his medical skill and fine DTBSQYVG gained him a large clientele. His specialty. however, is surgery sncl In certain branches of it he is considered among the best in the entire West.

Always interested in fox farm- ing -- perhaps more so because he had as a boy heard the stories and seen the wonderful prices and qulci: fortunes made in the boom day‘ of 1910-1914. the Doctor started a for farm of his own. buying the very best types of slivers obtain- able. Within a fey years he was one of the leading exhibitors in Western Canada and as the new types nzrived he added white faces and platinums and continued his career as a prize winner. some years ago he added mink and is now breeding some of the highest priced strains and receiving PX- cellent pzlces for thc pelts. Every once in a while we receive a letter from the Doctor urging us to gather the material and write n story of fox farming. giving full scope to the activities of the pion- eers, afterwards extending_ it to take in the story of the‘ pioneer breede:s of the other provinces of Canada. For this thoughtfulness on the part of the Doctor we are grateful but we feel that there are many others who can do the sub- ject more Justice.

There has been no activity in the pelt markets for some time. Later oin this month there will be a sale of mutation mink in New York which will set a pat-tern for prices lor some months. The recent sale in Leningrad. Russia. of an estimated $1 million and a half to $3 million worth of furs to Ameri- can buyers has not. done the breed- ers of furs in the United States and Canada any good. Just why those people should go over to Russia. and buy from a country that. is doing its very best to in- filtrate with the intention ol destroying the liberties of our countries - we cannot fathom. We think if they concentrate on our furs they would have plenty of opportunity of making money, for there is nothing in Russia that cannot -be duplicated in Canada or the United States with the except- ion of Persian lamb and Russian sables.

Late August‘ and September will soon be here~and that should be the months for you to go over your foxes carefully for earmltes, fleas and to treat them for round worms and hookwoims. Sixteen rninlm capsules can be given to even your young pups. Treatment during the month of September

will rid you of infestations so that you can produce a good clean

_ i colored pelt. Around the first week

in September or a little later thc diet can be changed with benefit — less horse meat and more trips and alter the middle of September we think it would be wise to cut

' out fish.

The market this year vil be a more difficult one to secure adequate prices in. ft is therefore up to us to make every endeavor to produce as good pelts as we possibly can and factors makirv; for this worthy object are what we have enumerated above. plus clem- llness ol.shads and dens. See that no material ls around that can soil the sliver or stain it. such stains are almost impossible to re- move and depreciate a pelt very much. so far the season of 1948 has been a good one for growth and moat of the ranchers we speak to have no complaints to make on that score. Now it remains to place a good pelt on our animals so that in December we will ta e off a fine line of silvers. platinum and white laces, also pearl platinum.
