Suttoni country and, because of the peculiar conditions typically Canadian, The society was the nucleus of social con tacts and the semi-annual fair was its expansive gesture. The societies met once a month when the members and guests dined together under the dir ection of stewards who were respon sible for the details connected with the banquets, Full advantage was tak en of this social opportunity, but it was -at the fair that the inhabitants of the district excelled themselves, The fair usually lasted for four days. On the business side the ques tions of improvemtnt of stock and crops came first, then the judging of horses, cattle and. grain, followed on the following day with the distribu tion of prizes. On the third day, the ploughing match to decide the district champion took place, and on the fourth day, exciting; horse races made a grand finale. But the business side was not the only nor the most important angle. The enlargement of knowledge by means of visual and social contact and the increase in the circle of friends were important factors in the early I days and remain so at the present time. While the elders talked crops and decided prizes, the wives made I most of this rare opportunity for com- | munity gossip and discussion of fa shions. What was a la mode in York might be anathema in Berth, but, then, many a young farmer and many a winsome lass pining to leave the ! paternal home met their fates at the j fair, and lo! another farm would be cleaved out of the bush. There was also the chance to show off local tal ent, and many a young swain drove to the fair with a spanking team to call the attention of all and sundry to the beauty of his affianced. Jovial . dinners by day, dancing and sing- ' songs by night left nothing to be de sired. | Later, with the advent of better transportation came “all the fun of | the fair” wih its brazen calliope and i modern contraptions. Today, the pic tures, symphony orchestras, and din ners at a restaurant, supplant the old er order, but the mood and the mean ing are the same—-an opportunity for social* intercourse. While the great national exhibition- at Toronto stands in a class by itself, there are hund- ‘dreds of agricultural fairs and exhi- , . ,, bitions held throughout the Dornin-the pioneers with their fellow men, all ; ion They afford important Iessons contributed to the moulding of the I n advance Qf present.day agri.

Ladies and Gentlemen. The season of the agri cultural fair is about to commence. Starting in Eastern Canada, and on wards m rapid succession throughout the West, all the latest and best ex hibits in connection with the work and progress of local, provincial, and Dominion agriculture will be on view, to mark, learn, and inwardly digest. In no country has the agricultural 'fair been a greater factor in social and economic progress than in Canada. There were conditions peculiarly Can adian. The gregarious instinct of the early settlers, their unswerving re solve to conquer the innumerable dif ficulties surrounding them, the haz ards of travel, and the dense forests preventing the extended contact of ARE YOU ON THE BORDERLINE OF ACTUAL SICKNESS? Constipation* Causes Dis* comfort, May Lead to More. Serious Troubles You may have days, perhaps even weeks, when you feel below par. Not sick enough to go to bed, but certainly not at your best, The trouble may be with your diet. Poorly balanced meals can affect your physical condition. Meals which lack proper “bulk/’ for instance, may lead to common constipation. Continued neglect, of this condition causes discomfort,, may lead to headaches, poor appe,- tite, listlessness. Guard against common constijpq;- tionU Make sure the meals you eat contain plenty of “bulk.” Kel logg’s All-Bran is a generous, source of effective “bulk.” Withim the body, it absorbs moisture, forms- a soft mass, and gently cleanses the, system. Two tablespoonfuls 'daily, with-, milk or cream, are usually suffi cient. Stubborn cases may require All-Bran oftener. Serve All Bran either as a cereal, or cooked', into muffins, breads, etc. Eat it- regularly for regular habits. All-Bran is guaranteed by the* Kellogg Company. Sold by all gro cers.

Modern in vention encourages it. The more there- is to learn, the bigger the fair ought to be. And as a matter of fact, the attendances at fairs arc bigger than.' ever. In other times a fair could be.' attended only with loss of time often under great difficulties. Today a far mer can go to a fair a substantial dis tance from his home in his motor car in a comparatively short time. He can spend exactly what time he can afford and be home again in quick or der. If he desires to pay another vis it, or to make a daily visit, he can do so easily. Fifty years ago that would have been a matter of consid erable difficulty and inconvenience^ if not almost impossible.ed-forward-to centres of social pleas- ■ 1 ures. The Dominion and the Provinc ial Governments help financially and otherwise in fostering these fairs, and it is on account of the great educa tional value of these exhibitions that the Dominion Experimental Farms of the Dominion Department of Agricul ture take an active part. The exhibits of the Farms which are prepared by the Publicity and Extension Branch show the latest developments in ag riculture. Through these exhibits of practical utility, by printed pamphlets and explanations by word of mouth from the exhibition staff, much is 1 I * * | ILL/ill ». 1 i U CA IH U1 UUll oLclXLj 111LLV Upper Canada, agricultural fairs bios- formation of practical value i somed out into full social, economic and political institutions. In Upper Canada, the Niagara Pen insula has always been intimately as- in- im- parted. Although Canada has worked her own method of enlarging the edu cational outlook in agriculture through out sociated with the trade and barter of ; ne wthings secn and heard, the idea agricultural produce. In 1535 Jacques Cartier observed the practice of mem bers of a tribe in the Peninsula who were noted traders in tobacco, mov ing freely among other tribes and at times staging, an exhibition that now- i adays would be classed as a tobacco fair. However that may be, the first- agricultural society, with accompany ing fair, to be i ecorded in Upper Can ada in 1791 on the separation of the province with Lower Canada was the Niagara Agricultural Society. Similar societies soon spread to other parts of the province, and in 1806 at York (Toronto) an attempt was made to form a province-wide society. In 1822 the great fair at Quccnsto-n was in- [ tended as the first all-province show, but was inconveniently crowded. , | Throughout the past 140 years, the I various Governments, Dominion and ! Provincial, have regarded fairs with I more than a kindly eye as a means ‘ of social progress. In 1818 the Legis-■ lation of Lower Canada passed an Act granting financial aid to district coun ty agricultural societies ,and tn 1830 ■ the Provincial Parliament of Upper; Canada made an allowance of £100 ; ($500) to encourage the establishment | of agricultural societies. Since that time both Dominion and Provincial : Departments of Agriculture have con tinued to give tural fairs. Before 1840 were re-united, York, tawa, erloo, great way for the desired province-wide or- ianization which was established in 1846. In that year, under the auspices of the Agricultural Association of Up per Canada, a fair was held in Tor onto which today is of world-wide re nown. The agricultural society in Canada was something very necessary to the i assistance to agricul when the provinces fairs had been held at Port Hope, Perth, Ot-Cobourg Guelph, Hamilton, Nelson, Wat- Brantfotd and had proved of social importance, paving the CORNS REMOVED WITH CASTOR OIL Say goodbye to clumsy corn-pads and risky razors.
