results. The silver fox producers have
already beaten the other fur men TO
scientific raising and marketing Of
furbearing animals and it is notice
able that the silver fox offerings at
the present sales have been few and
of inferior grade. This is due TO the
fact that animals are proving more
valuable as breeders than when their

Better Fox Furs Sought.

According TO Louis Edward EuSch
of Washington. president OF the
American Fox Institute, there now
are between l20, 200 and 10000 silver
foxes in North America. He estimates
that less than y per cent of this num-
Der have a standard perfection of fur
which justities their retention as
breeding stock. II is the object of the
institute, which is an organization OF
breeders, TO promote the scientific
scoring of live foxes for points, to
elevate the whole industry to a high
grade pelt-producing basis.
Sales Of silver foxes in London
showed top price OF about $500
pelt The Lampson sales there show
ed few offerings which brought over
5000. In recent sales in this country
pelts brought S2l0 to $500. Many sold
for as low as slo to $50. This did not
indicate lowering Of prices for the best
furs. since silver fox scarfs still are
quoted At around $3.50 and up at
retail. II simply indicates that the
best animals are not being killed for
their skins. but are being kept for
breeding purposes. What skins now
quality are from those animals which
die naturally. 1t is the standing
PRAYER Of the fox breeder that II a fox
has TO die. il do SO in November or
December. when the fur attains its
best condition.
$4,000, 900 Is Invested.
Leading silver fox men of the
United States represent 1000 ranches
and about a 10000 900 investment.
This investment has been encouraged
by the activity of the American Fox
Institute, and it's work IS to protect
dealers and breeders from low-grade
pelts thrown on the market and TO IS
sure purity of breeding stocks. So
minutely does the score card of the
institute detail the merits and demer
its Of each animal that breeders can
depend on it in mating foxes and
breeding out defects from q strain.
Canada is active in promotion of
fox breeding. but few Canadian pelts
come on this market, owing to a tar.
iff of approximately so per cent i'm
posed in recent years. However, 323
fur farms We're added to the Can
adam list last year.
Mr. Rusch declares that it will be
80 years before there will be sufficient
high grade silver foxes pelted annu-
ally to meet the present demand for
high grade skins.

Ndllc0 III tIlC lOA luuoSlIy, Ao duucu.
This is not to be wondered at when
it IL considered that the business of
breeding silver foxes Is less than a
generation old. The atmosphere of
adventure and romance naturally
clings to an inquiry founded on the
breeding in captivity of an animal
which in the wild state was a sport
Of nature. The persistent demand for
silver fox furs and high prices paid
have doomed the industry. The
clamor for breeding stock has been
so great that unscrupulous ranchers
have sold scrub animals to novices.
Wildcat promoters have organized
companies and stocked ranches with
mongrel foxes purchased at ridicu
lous prices. AS a result. fur markets
have been flooded with low w-grade
pelts. but high-grade pelts are as rare
as ever and continue to command
prices that overshadow ermine."

every kind of commission. Where
any difficulties or dangers appeared,

rade Rakosi with several hundred
workmen, whom he had succeeded in
organizing in military bands, held the
