South African countries to take up the
Industry with great zest This has
caused some uneasiness In Cape
Colony. as 1t Is feared that there may
be an overproduction OF low-quality
plumes. The market for high-grade
feathers Is capable of expansion.
The export Of ostrich feathers from
Cape Colony has increased year after
year; it amounted last year to 792. 725
pounds. valued at slO.49O.425. While
the Cape Colony farms contain about
100000 tame ostriches. there are but
10000 tame birds in all other coun-
tries combined.
At the present time ostrich farming
Is carried on in Europe, Madagascar.
Argentina, Australia. New Zealand.
and In California, Arizona and Florida.
The most dangerous rival to South
Africa In this respect will be the
United States.
