Fox Ranching in Southport In 1912 Sir Charles Dal ton removed his foxes from Tignish to a ranch southeast of the . He there formed the Charles Dalton Silver Black Fox Company with W.B. Prowse as president and A.B. Warburton as secretary-treasurer; Dalton sold some shares but held a controlling in¬ terest in the company. This ranch flourished for many years. In 1913 a Charlottetown insurance man, W.K. Rogers , started fox ran¬ ching with five pairs. By 1925 he had six ranches on the Island and others in the United States, Scotland and and was considered to be the largest individual fox breeder in the world. His ranches in the area were the Dalton Ranch on the 48 Road , and one at Kinlock . His son, Major T.B. Rogers , returned from service in the First World War to assist his father in the management of the Southport ranches. He later built the home now owned by Peter Moore . Sssfi i ■■ W.K.
