Practically all pelting been completed m our Province and r.o doubt the same applies to the whole of Canada and the United States. Across the line tho big farms like Fromnfs and Niemaifla start- veltilu early. about the 15th of November. They often kill 1,000 a day but their teamwork is so efficient that this does not present. any great task ‘J themwFrotunvs take-off this year WIII be ovcr -i.),_ 000 and Niemans nbout- the same. We have had nu word as to what their cut-down will be if any, but we presume they will reduce their ranches possibly 25 per cam, g5 they have taken a big loss on every pelt marketed. In the case of Fromnfs this Is offset considerably by the production of ginseng and by mink but we cannot see wuerc even these factors will give 51mg than an even break for the whole show. With Niemaifs foxes their W99 0T P9115 M6 darker than Fromm’ and bring n lower price on American markets. For that reason they must cut down or cv- entually lose a lot of money as it W111 probably take until i950 be- fore the market for silver fox 0e. comes a paying one.

Ono of the most htopeful sales in tho past few mon hs was at Denver. Colorado, December 30th; 95 percent of thooollection of 5,500 silver and color phase foxes was disposed of at an advance of 20 percent over the company's 33¢. camber 8th. sale. Of course it lnust be remembered that the goods were "fresh", that is to say i947 take-off, while at the previous sale they were mostly carry-overs. Plat. inums sold for a, top of $53, but the average price was around $33.50. Standard full silvers brought I- WD of 530. with the average selling around $20. White faces mid f9!‘ I $35- top and averaged a- round s22. A small number of gla- cier-blus was offered for the first time fn that area and was well re- ceived. Competition was keen for them. Curiously enough the ma. ("I18 was only spasmodic when ‘the very ordinary collection of l0.000 mink went on the block. Only i0 Perflerlt was disposed of due to the high limits they were held for. The company's next sale will be Feoru. nry 2nd. when they will offer n large collection of i947 pelted foxes, This will really give a good indi- cation of the trend for i948.

Furriers throughout the United States who have checked"U!1"'T.‘ii5' trade outlook for 1948 are making no forecasts without an "if" clause attached to every statement. Most oi’ them admit that they are puzzled and must wait to see what the manufacturers have to offer as well as how prices will rise before they can make concrete plans. The manufacturers are puzzled too and most of them note the rising niac- ket prices for mink with some alarm and hope that the prices will hold firm and not spiral any more.

and in iaddition paid a 2 i-2 9e!‘- cent dividend on land sales. No in- tcrim dividend was paid o. year ago. However. last year the total

.was 8 percent less tax, together

with a 5 percent net dividend on land sales. 1t will be remembered that when the Hudson's Bay Corn-

Silver Fox and

Mink Farming

Buylnk furs for manufacturing or retailing when prices time reached higher than normal is a- bout ns risky as playing the stock market in boom times. We some. times wonder at the nerve these furriers do possess and also if "V" B- 10118 period of time they don't set some pretty bad cracks. Recently we have noted fur coats offeredfor sale at tremendous dis. counts and the orily conclusion we could come to is that the first mark up must have been a pretty high one. Of course the first buy- ers liad the choice of quality, stile and the use of the garment for a longer time and this necessarily costs more.

A mid-western paper had an in- terview with Edward Fromm, President of Fromm Bros. Inc. a week ago and he predicted a re- vivai of the pedigreed fox industry, basing his optimism on the in- creasing interest in fox furs in the nation's style centres. To meet the demand for style furs the Fromm farm is developing a new unnamed recessive mutation fox Burgundy color. Felting of this new phase is expected to get under way in 1950 and Mr. Fromm said it was an entirely new and very lovely color.

Another now creation is o blue platinum that resembles the stan- dard platinum except that this blue platinum is also blue on the neck. underfur, rump and belly of tho fox where the standard platinum is white. A considerable herd has been developed and this will also be pelted beginning is 1950. 1947's pelting was the larg- est in years. totalling upwards 0i 40.000 fox and 35,000 mink. Tne increase in pelting operations was duo to the need of decreasing the fox herd. The fox farmer has been faced with high feed costs, heavy importation of pelts. excise tax on furs and other prolonged cf- fects from the war. Fromms pelt- ing operations include about 5,009 silver platinum blue which they have been breeding the past num- ber of years.

The Canadian Fur Auction Sales Company, Ltd. will hold its init- lsisgeneral-saieof the 1948 season January 19th. with the last 1e- ceiving date January 3rd.

A few days later a neihgbor very kindly sent me a quantity of cash- ews and I had the pleasure of

1n Rhinds "History of tho Vege- table Kimdom," a quaint but verv Informative old book. there is a picture of the Cashew Nut Ilia; has always interested me; it rc- sembies a pear with a curved nut hanging from the end of it. lt is the fruit of an elegant tree called the Anacardium occidenlaie, a. nat- ive of Jamaica, "w-hlch bears pani- cled corymbs of sweet-smelling flowers, succeeded by an edible fruit of the apple kind, of a yel- low or red color. The fruit has an agreeable sub-acid flavor with some degree of astringeucy." The juice was expressed and fermented tn make a pleasant native ivlne. and this when distilled made a spirit greatly exceeding rum, or ar- rack. in potency.

"The nut protrudes from end of the apple. It is of size and shape of a. here's (rab- bit's) kidney." (Can the reader imagine a mods“: writer employ‘- ing such an od simile?) The nut is curved and is much larger at the end next the "apple" than at th! other. It has two shells. i1" outer of an ashy color and very smooth, thednner covers the kc:- nel. Between bhe two is a thick. inflammable. and veryWlllsflc ‘m- Thia will raise blisters on the skin. and has often been trouble- some to strangers who try to break the shell with their teeth. Says Rhino: "This oil has been used with great success in eating of.‘ yingworm, cancerous ulcers, and coma; but it ought to be aPDIIEJ with caution." These 01a exocri- ments, based on trial and eXPBY" fence, are often slightingiy referred to as empirical; but. who knows what valuable hints tpcv hold wi- to medical research?

The kernel is in the form of a semicircle but thick at one end and tapering to a. point at the other. "When fresh it has a most deuc- iqugjaste. abounds with a sweet milky juice, and is used as an in- gredient in 9111151118!- when mature it is 868ml“? 1'°“k°d~ °" perhaps one should say $085M!!- Most nuts have hard or tough flesh, which requires thorough mas- tication, but the toasted cashew almost dissolves!
