'WINGHAM FALL FAIR A GREAT SUCCESS
Ann BEST SHOW, LARGEST ENTRY IN HISTORY
•
Wingham Pall Pair scored its great-
est success in many years, on Tues-
day and Wednesday of last week, with
a record crowd, and a really wonder-
ful display of exhibits. The ideal
weather'. was a contributing factor to
:the success of the fair, Tuesday being
:weal summer-like, and while Wednes-
�•day threatened rain towards noon, the
"little, shower did not seriously affect':
:the attendance.
It is a long time since Wingham
Fal Fair had such an exhaustive entry
list, totalling 2054, and divided as fol -
;lows; horses 98, cattle 185, sheep 126,
-swine 25, poultry 149, grain and seeds
52, vegetables 143, fruits 174, . dairy
-and provisions 328, ladies' work 555,
fine arts 90, plants and flowers 113,
and school children's class 15.
Hon:John S. Martin officially open-.
•ed the fair on Wednesday afternoon,
being introduced by Mr. George Spot
'ton. Mr. Martin first expressed his
appreciation of the distinction and
'honour' in being invited toy Wingham,
which he saw for the first time, and
then complimented Turnberry Agri-.
••cultural Society on their splendid
equipment and the good weather con-
ditions. Agricultural Societies are
-doing a great and good work in as-
sisting in adjusting farming condi-
tions, consequent on the general up-
•lieaval in all business during the last
15 years. Here farmers see what
`their neighbors have accomplished,
learn new ideas and go home pre-
pared to put these, in part at least,
into .operation. But in order to keep
:alive the interest in agricultural
shows, and to assure a continuous
supply of exhibits, rural school fairs
are progressing most satisfactorily,
and will provide the exhibitors of to-
morrow. Mr. Martin outlined the tre-
mendous changes in the past few
years, and instanced some of the press-
ing needs. First was a change in
business methods—to pool their pro -
selects and sell in a collective way:
This has been a success in 'the West,
in the States, and in many European
•.countries. Then he wanted the Hy-
dro brought to the home of every
farmer, whose wife is entitled to all
the home comforts and labor-saving
,devices of the village, town or city
-woman. Over one thousand miles of
rural hydro lines are being built an-
nually, so the time is approaching for
'this boon to become general. Im-
-•proved highways also suggest a chan-
ge from the old days, and permits
-the farmer to enjoy a motor drive in
common with his city brother. Agri-
, -culture, the basic foundation of Can-
ada's wealth, needs careful attention;
'that the t.'eed nuisance, so general in
the West, does not become a like
fi�nnenace in our province. This will re-
-quire constant care, endless summer -
deliberation in choice of
seed, and'strict observance to govern-
ment regulations should disease ap
•pear. Ontario's agricultural wealth is
-about $500;000,000 ;a year, one-fifth
•of which comes from the dairy dis-
trict in Eastern Ontario. No other
-province or country can show the di-
versity of products, .abundance -of gold,
-nor attractiveness of homelife than
',old Ontario.
About four thousand people throng-
ed through the grounds, andtook a
more than passing interest in the ex-
'"hibits. Especially 'so, and well-de-
served, was this the case with the live
stock, department, . Here an immense
•crowd'lined the fences or sat in cars
parked along the railing, while the
'Horses were'being judged; and a pleas-
, ing crowd wandered around the cattle
-arid sheep'' sheds, these tw•o; classes
were exceptionally` well with a
superior lot of animals and the corn-
-petition, ,was
orn--petition,,was keen. •
With the centre of the hall occu-,`
.pied with exhibits of local merchants„
'the excess of; entries- caused` a little-
crowding of exhibits, All the inside
classes were well filled, the apple dis-.
•lay being exceptionally p fine, while,
the dairy and dorliestic products '.ere
in great numbers
'Wingham Band made its first public
appearance fora long programme this
'day - and created a most favorable' im-
p y
. cession.` The played at intervals
,on a stand at the rear of the halt and
"always had an appreciative audience.
'The *Elite Attractions • proved a
sonrce of rare enjoyment to the
'Young people, getting a thrill in the

•mer- -go-round ' br " Ferris Wheel,
while the fortune-tellers 'told fattey
'tales 'that :mit a lot of young girls and
`boys'itt an ecstasy of delight,
In the evening the Brunswick Trio
provided a splendid programme in t:,e

larger attendance, ,
