FUR DEVELOPMENT

The fur "farm development has been an outstanding feature of the fur trade in recent years. Fur trading was the earliest of all in- dustries in Canada and in those far oft days the idea of raising fur farms furbearing animals on was not thought of. It was no! until about 60 years ago that far- mers who had kept a fox or two in captivity, realized the potential Importance of the new Industry. I was in the province of Prince Ed- ward Island in Eastern Canada that raising silver foxes in capti- vity and marketing the furs were first attempted and that province is still in many respects the cen- tre of the industry, Other anim- als such as mink, beaver, raccoon,

score muskrat, and about a

of others are raised on farms but the sliver fox is still the backbone of fur farming.

COLOSSAL VALUE

In the season just past. the sil- ver fox pelts entering the market were valued at $4,343,823, or about 34 per cent of the total production of the fur trade. Following the silver fox in order of importance considerably amaller but with total values are muskrat, mink, and white fox. The white fox is in Northern Canada, trapped chiefly by the Eskimos.

There has been a steady deciine in the number of beaver skins on the market. The reduction in this fur which in early days was the mainstay of the industry is due in part to the scarcity of the animals and in part to the restric- tions placed by provincial author- itles on trapping with a view to the conservation of this historic animal. It is a source of regret that the beaver is disappearing. The beaver with the maple leaf and is the emblem of Canada trade in beaver skins played a large part in the early history and development or Canada:
