THE FALL FAIRS September and October are the months in which Agricultural Socie- ties of the smaller centres hold their annual.affairs. Wbat are they going to be like this year? Are they going to be exhibits of stock and produce that will be worth going to see or are they going to be a series of very cheap side shows that would be a waste of time and money to attend. The answers to these questions lie almost entirely with the rural com- munities that surround the centres in which these fairs are to be held, and with the officers and directors of the fairs. These officials have done their part in the past and have done it well. They are still doing it, but in recent years the farmers and others, who have stock worth exhibiting, have been showing an ever increasing disinclination to exhibit it, and; by • doing so have lost many a dollar that would have lightened the tax bill or have swelled their bank accounts.

The value for 1927 was recently stated to be in the neighborhood of $3,5000,000,000, or about $250,000,000 above the figures for 1926. This con- stitutes a record in the history of the country and indicates the extent to which Canada has shared in the general industrialization of non-En- ropean countries since the. war. It is worth while to draw attention to the general growth in industry during receet years. At the end Of 1926 the capital invested in Canad- ian plants stood at $4,000,000,000, but this has since been largely increased by extensive additions to plants and the erection of new factories, notably in the pulp and paper industry, the manufacturing of real and artificial silk, the automobile and allied trades and in •concerns supplying construc- tion materials and household goods of all kinds, The Canadian Bank of Commerce has made a careful survey of recent developments in Canada, and We do not mean that the prize finds that during the last eighteen money would have accomplished this alone, because the prizes as a rule, between 1913 and 1926, and China is credited with as rnuch as 240 per cent. The increase in the United States was 19 per cent., and hi Canada 36 per •cent., the expansion being due, for the most part, to an increase in do"- inestic rather than foreign consunip- tion, • The most impressive feature of the present economic situation is the extent to which the population stands to profit from the productive efforts in which it is engaged. Agriculture, of course, commands first attention at this season; and, while the out- look for the farmers cannot yet be definitely determined, growing condi- tions over the greater part o fthe country have been as favorable as could be desired. The lumber Indus- trY has been maintained in the strong- er position established a few months ago, for, while there has been a sea- sonal slackening indogging operations• in British Columbia, the saw -mills are 'disposing of their products in a firm market, and there are signs of further improvement in the fundamen- tal conditions affecting the industry.

In re- gard to the pulp and paper' business, there appears to be a growing senti- ment in favor of some form of ration- alization, and in some quarters it is believed that this will be brought about by the Provincial Governments, which retain control of the greater part of the thnber lands, and which are unwilling to see the country's wood resources unprofitably exploit - edeas they would be if prices dropped much below the present level.
