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.
The complete report is avaiable at
county agent offices.
