promises this year to eclipse all previous
Exhibitions. Entries are already pour-
ing in to the general offices, The inter-
est in the Live Stock Department is in-
creasing every year, and the indications

affords a very interesting hour in the
Dairy Hall, where there is pleety of
seating accommodation, The Poultry

dition to the cash increase in the Prize
List, there is offered twenty two silver

Rural Depopulation.
Rural depopulation, which the census
of 1911 showed to have resulted in a de-
crease in the townships of old Ontario

reau of industries published by the Gov-
ernment of Ontario, and available to
1913, show the state of the assessed
population since the taking of the cen-
sus. The following Counties which are
selected as being little influenced by
the growth of towns within their bor-
er, show these decreases from 1911 to
