Very little t pelting is done at the present time, as there are only about 00,000 of the little animals in existence in this country. At the price of chinchilla fur, a firesent full length coat costs about $70,000, and weighs about two pounds. Early this morning of June 15, we said goodby to the Wilsons when they put us on a Boston & Maine train in Dover, N. H., bound for Boston. A quick change from the North to the South stations in Boston had us on a New York, New Haven & Hartford train for New London, Conn., where the first phase of the New England convention was to begin. New London is just across the Thames river from Grotin, location of the Griswold hotel where we were to spend the night We arrived in Grotin about noon on June 10, and following luncheon, we were taken on a tour of the United States Submarine base.

Our first night in Maine was spent at the Wilson's summer home on Square pond, 10 piiles from Berwick . . . its not really a pond ip our sense of the word, as it is really a very large lake where several hundred persons have erected beautiful homes so that they may enjoy the lake during the summer months. After a morning of boating and swimming on June 14, we returned to the Wilson farm In Berwick, where we spent the remainder of the day seeing the points of interest in that area, among them the home of Authoress Gladys Hasty Carroll, who has written many stories of the people of the Tat-nlc- k hills surrounding her home. Home of Ancestors Of interest to me was the farm where my maternal grandmother had been reared, and the adjoining where my grandparents had Klace at the time they were first married. These folks, in the late and thats 1800s moved west how I got my start out here. 1 had never visited the country of my ancestors, though I had heard them tell many, many times of the beautiful states of Maine and New Hampshire. I can .now agree that this area is truly one of Americas beauty spots. The Wilsons are raisers of chinchillas, having started that industry in New England in 1043. At the present time they have over ani200 of these little customers mals and they supply in all parts of the United States. Interesting and profitable is the chinchilla business for those who like caring for animals and devote sufficient time to the enterprise. They are a hardy little animal, weighing about 20 ounces when fully grown, and belong to the rodent family. Black tipped outer hairs blend harmoniously with the steel-gre- y and slate blue under fur, having the finest fur in the world, there being about BO hairs to one root. The babies are born fully furred out and eyes wide open. Chinchillas usually litter at about 11 months. Gestation period is 111 days, and there are one to four babies to a litter. 4 thp held on the tenn sic ia Last week I told you of our arrival in Boston, and from there we were taken to the C.

In addition to this, the Game Department is now in possession of more complete statistics regarding populations, sex ratios, game and range trends than it has ever had. Over an eleven-yeperiod, Utah has averaged a buck kill of 39,786, with a .hunter success of 54 per cent. In 1949 the hunters of Utah killed 45,386 deer with 53 per cent of the hunters getting their deer. In addition to the regular buck hunt, there were an additional 15,-0deer killed in . antlerless deer and special deer hunts, making a total kill last year of 60,478 head. Utahs antlerless deer kill is not exceptionally high, although Utahs game range problem is older than that of most of the surrounding states. Our kill of antlerless deer has not been exceedingly large relatively. In 1949, 42 . per cent' of a, w deer kill were antlerA Wyomings less aV deer, while Idaho stepped up Ha to 46 percent, and 52 per cent of the deer Colorado killed were anv tlerless, while in Utah, only 20 Vt a ' 4 per cent of our kill was antlerless.
