ANNUAL SILVER FOX CROP OVER 100,000 –

            Since establishment of the silver fox industry, Canada has gradually increased its output of skins and is now averaging about 100,000 pelts placed on the market annually, according to report of Dr. J.H. Grisdale, deputy minister of agriculture.  The total includes between 2,000 and 3,000 pelts of wild foxes taken by trappers, but is exclusive live foxes shipped overseas and to the U.S. for breeding purposes.  70,883 silver fox pups were born in the dominion in 1929.  These are descendents of less than a score of silver foxes taken from the wild by pioneer breeders in Prince Edward Island who nursed the industry through its infancy.
