Fur Breeders Plan $50,000 Feed Processing Plant in Rupert A shortage of horse meat in Saskatchewan may mean construction of a $50,000 plant at Prince Rupert. Announcement was made today at Regina by the Saskatchewan Fur Breeders' Association that that organization, in conjunction with the Prince Rupert Fishermen's Co-operative, plans to build a plant to convert fish waste into food for mink, foxes and other. fur-bearing animals. A shortage of horse meat, brought about, mainly by mechanization of prairie larms, is responsible. According to the Regina despatch, the fur breeders plan to erect a $50,000 processing plant using waste products from the local Co-op, which last year handled about 60 percent of thejlsh landed at this port. No authoritative comment was available from the Co-op offices here today due to the absence from the city of Ken Harding, manager, and Norman Bellis, his assistant, but the processing is understood to be relatively simple. Fish by-products would be ground up, frozen and shipped in blocks to the fur breeders.
