The harbours on north cossti ), P,-mu. Edward d have bars .o,med where the strong outgoing tidal currents deposit their load 01 mm that has been gathered as the How OI Wilt!) IIOIII H10 IIIIO AD- land bays increases its speed and cmymg capacity when it rushes Waugh the harbour's mouth with each outgoing tide. The location of these bars warnot marked. except when there was an on-shore wind ,1,-orig enough to produce surf that broke on reels along the shore and when heavy enough. broke all across the bar.

Early in this century there were cod breskwaters at most of these harbours, and at normal high tide. about twelve feet of water on the New London Harbour Bars. At that time there were many schooneirs owned and operated from then, hai'b0LlX'8. to carry farm produce to Maritime markets, and bring in mi, and supplies to the merchants in these areas. The writ- gr i-an recall seeing schooners fil- img every berth at the south side and end of the government wharf .i Bay View, and at the sides and end of Mr. John Stewart's private iiiiarf. with two or more schooners ilfld alongside of others, or anchor- ed in the stream waiting their turn to discharge or.load cargo.

O I

At Stanley Bridge. a few mil west of Bay View. there were wiiaris on either side of the chan- iicl. and in the autumn the berth space was at a premium. when, in addition to schooners owned locally, many schooners from the south shore of Nova Booth. and other Maritime ports were charter- ed to carry farm produce to mar- ket rind bring heavy goods to these l'liI'.'iI centres. Others centres at Clifton Bridge and French River were busy handling freight for the scliooners that filled the berths at their wharves.

one of the youngest captains out or New London arrived outside the bar one day when waves were birziking on the bar.,He chose what he considered a favourable lull, and headed in over the breaking lllIlPT. when his schooner touched bottom. he dropped the peak of his miiinsail and let his sheets go. The next wave carried him forward, to touch again as it receded. and then his ship was over the bar. but the shock of grounding had loosened mnis in the hull. so that his crew had to pump continually from the Il'1i'I)0LII' to Bay View. a distance or about four miles. where he ran his ship into a mud bank.

He came to the writer. asking that he get some men and pump out his ship. as his crew were ex- hausted, and the water in the hold had been gaining on' them. He thought the mud and seaweed would would stop many of the leaks temporarily. We went im- mediately. and found that water in the cabin had risen to about i loot over the floor. After many hours steady pumping. Vve. freed the hull from water, and the crew. having rested, took over again. The captain was able to careen his schooner at low tide. in order to soil: the seams on one side, and than on another tide. clreen her on the otherside and cork the trains there. His ship was soon in commission again.

on another occasion a merchant rain: to the writer to say that a (hip he had chartered to bring a

struckontbe New Iandonbai-and had grounded on the eastern shoal. she had been there some time and the seas hadforood her into shoal water. with a list of about so degrees to starboard. A storm was brewing. and he wished Is much as possible of the cargo salvaged before the storm struck. The writer had a small. sturdy boat. and the march- ant askod that he tow a lighter from New London out to the schooner and take off all the cargo that could be secured. and bring it to I safe place inside the har- bour.

An experienced crew of fisher- men was secured, and very early in the morning we set out from Bay View wharf in the dark. There were no visible guiding lights show- ing anywhere. The wind was light from the southwest. and as we passed Pickering's Paint, it drew a few points more to the southward. We had never suspected that fish- ermen were sonervous as group. proved. They predicted trouble. and for their own safety one man held the sail halyard in his hind: he feared he could not' let' it go quickly enough if it was belayed and a squall struck. Another held the sheet of the main- sail in his hand for the same res.- son.

When they noted that the change of wind had filled the sail so that we let out the sheet to take ad- vantage of it, an argument arose as to the location of New London Harbour from our position. No two agreed. and several were sure that with the shift of wind we were not going in the direction of the harbour at all. The writer was steering, and maintained his course, without compass, so that after

tide rip against the wind at the south entrance to Bullhaul Chan- nel, he knew that we had made that narrow entrance correctly. we followed the channel to near the sandhills, then swung west, after picking up the lighter or scow, until we rounded the breakwater and made for the ship on the eastern shoal.

. .

She was sanded up to within a few feet of her where we made fast the scow, One experienced man soon had double blocks arranged at the foremast head, so that with the sail halyards we were able to hoist the punch- eons of molasses out of the fore hatch. and the ship's list showed us to lower them right into the scow. In a few hours we had secur- ed most of the cargo that was un- damaged, and started salvaging salt bags. in which the salt had all melted, leaving only empty bags. Shortly before we finished, the wind veered around to the northeast. which gave us not only the wind astem as we lowed the lighter into the harbour, but a fair wind to take us home to Bay View; operation successfully completed.

The threatening storm blew up from the 'norl.heast later. and the ship was rolled off the esstem shoal and disappeared. We never heard that any part of it was ever seen afterwards.

A large percentage of these will be known as Norama. the world's finest fox. On Friday, Sept. 17, they will offer 4,000 blue fox.

Phillip Grossman. president of the Canadian Fur Auction Co., Ltd.. left by plane recently to visit London. Paris and other European cities. The purpose of his trip is to contact firms representative in those cities and to attend the London Fur Sales.

Fouke Fur Co., St. Louis, Mo. have a full page add in a recent Women's wear Daily with this: "suddenly it is a fur year; sud- denly styles of fashion, fortune and furs . . . are smoothly geared. Paris and New York designers dotted the whole fashion lands- cape with urs. Smart women are enchanted with the new ideas in- sllhouettes. collars, sleeves. 'fur on fur' inspirations, etc.. etc." Foukc Fur Company is one of the oldest in the United States and was one of the first to realize the beauty and appeal of silver fox.

A good crowd attended the Hud- son's Bsy Company Fur, Sales Inc., in New York late last week, where an ordinary offering of EMBA and Independent mutation mink was unchanged to slightly stronger than June levels. A to- tal of 4,152 EMBA mutations of various types was placed on the block. The auction company re- ported a turnover of 07 per cent, with good interest for all types. Prices were officially reported slightly stronger except for Jas- mine and Breath of Spring silver- blus. which were termed "un- changed". Comparisons were made with the June IZMBA sale.

The above will give our readers some idea of the value of the Parisian market to fox and mink farmers. In the old days when silver fox was king it was by far the best outlet and it still continues to be the leadint outlet for mink.

A very attractive ad appears in a late issue of Women's Wear Daily. showing a very beautiful girl with a. wrap-around silver fox and the following: They're newsi Theyre excitement!

Norama is promoting three types -- each magnificent in its own special coloring-under reg- istered trade-marks by arrange- ment with the Canadian National silver Fox Breeders Association."

Just about two months until show time and our fox and mink farmers are no doubt figuring out the right methods of bringing their animals to the show table in the very best condition. with an upsurge in interest in silver fox we look to see this year's show the best for several years and with the increase in mink b ced- ing throughout the province here certainly will be a larger (115913)? of mink tabled. This all means that competition will he stiffer this year and many of those who are Just lukewarm in renewing their interest in the fur industry will come to look and learn, to meet old friends and to make new ones.

, There is a lot of work and pre- paration put into carrying out a successful show and it has been largely due to the executive ability of Walter R. Shaw that the Prince Edward Island fox and mink ex- hibit ns have been classed as the best in the Maritimes. Walter hasn't lost his interest although he is no longer Deputy Minister of Agriculture. and we look to see his genial countenance again in place when show time rolls around.

We notice in the Mink Ranch- er's Almanac, published in Den- ver. Colorada, a feed formula for mink recommended by Clarence W. Stacey of Stacey Fur Farm, Salem, Oregon:- Tripe and lungs 2095: liver Ms; ocean fish 6070; mink cereal 1495; Eur Ayd 196.

It was the I consecutive da- clina from the peak of 31,241,700,- 000 in the 1052 January-June per-

Most of the drop resulted from lower returns on grain sales and thus by far the major portion of the decline was felt on the Prairies. Prince Edward Island income also decreased slightly, resulting from smaller earnings on potatoes. Other provinces showed gains. Ont- ario led with a 024,000,000 increase. The wheat situation was the big- gest single factor in the decline. Smaller sales and lower prices re- duced cash income from wheat by suo.zoo.ooo to tl32.'i00,000 from 3343.900.00o in the half-year period, the bureau said. OFFSET BY LIVESTOCK Offsetting this partially was a 851,100,000 rise in livestock income to 3368,500,000. Larger marketings more than balanced the effect of lower prices. Inoome.from cattle and calves rose by seven per cent to 3185,- 800.000. Receipts from hogs jumped almost 27 per cent to S180,500,000.
