An Agricultural Society to be successful must have the lenity of the public in its ter- ritory. This loyalty is forthcoming from the public 'f the work of the Society is properly directed and our efforts shove we are doing something worthwhile for the community. We haveno goods to sell - like a merchant, but we gen create•an. asset which will bring results in dollars and cents as surely as does the goods of a merchant, That asset Is good-wlllr and it is the only real asset which an Agai- cultueal Society hes. A Society should really be an Agricultural Service Club to the Community, and should be ready to >Ptheeete or sponsor any project or activity designed to improve .Agricultural old Rural life at all times. The Seaforth Agricultural Society are sponsoring the Rat Campaign. theresultof whichwill no doubt he measured in the sav- ing of thousands of dollars to the community. The success of stn Agricultural Sootety can- not be measured alone: by large gate receipts, neither can It be judged by the amount of money paid in prises; but it can be appraised 1100)10ately by the contribution it makes to economic, social and educational life of the Community it iserves. The hope of our Agriculture today Ilea in tha Eathing width e adonedemonstrate bbe tto nsate - to he Rem ny them that the Perm offers them a healthier, happier and a more prosperous life than they may obtain in the cities,' makes a distinct mal significant contribution to Canadian Agricul- ture, Let griature,.ret us interest the boys and glrle of the farm in the things that have to do with the farm. One of the mesons why the Fair is so valuable as an educational institution is that It deals not in theory but in object lessons - Every Fair as it presents the netted article n animal 1'or comparison and study, gives a implied challenge to anyone else to produce as good or better, if he can,. It is noted in the press wherea number of Agricultural. Societies are celebrating in the fail of tide year their century milestone. Thereis something good and fundamentally _sound about the Agricultural Society that can carry ,on uninterruptedly for 100 years. Seaforth . Agricultural Society Inas had a long and colorful career dating back almost 75 years. There are 110 doubt those still among us who could recall the early days of the Fair. A .number of changes in the arrange- ment of livestock exhibits is planned to facil- itate judging and to give the publica better view of the exhibits.
