Prices for the two most important pioducts, mink and fox pelts declined between 1936 and 1939 but improved in 1940. Ranch raised mink pelts ta ken last season brot Oregon farmers an average o f about -12 each com pared to $9.60 in 1939 and $20 each in 1936. Silver fox pelt prices in 1940 were about 20 percent above the 1939 average of $26 each after dc*clining from $40 in 1936. Imports of mink pelts have been large and are increasng but exports declined last year. Returns from Ore- gons ranch raised mink are only ab out one tenth the value o f imports. Nearly 150,000 silver fox pelts were raised during the 1939-40 season, valued at two and a half million dol lars but imports are now on a quota basis. Karakul sheep are among the new er fur bearing animals on Oregor farms. Large imports and moderate to low prices for the lambskin fu? are against the profitable develop ment of the karakul sheep industry in this country according to the re port. A few nutria or South American beaver, skunk, muskrat and fitch are being kept in this state but none of these animals is important economi cally in the Oregon fur bearing en te i prise at present.
