Naturally, we talked potatoes. - and the point came up, wbat bas happcncd ta the flavour af Ontario potatoes? There was a time, net toc many years ago, .~when a patate had some real flaveur. Nawadays At may have none et ail, and may be hard ' in the middle ta boot. Or it may disintegrate in the water be- fore it is finished cooking. We admit we don't know anything about grawing pota- tocs, but wc have a feeling that perhaps se much commer- cial fertilizer as is used teday-, has scmething te do with lack of flavour. The representative agreed that this could be true, aise that kinds cf sali made a big difference ta flaveur. He aIse told us bow many diseases attack potatoes (we think il was over a hundred) and why S petatoes sometimes look green- lah. This daes net mean they are nat ripe.

Musicale Ride was nat a Meature of thc Herse Show this year, and wc think many others icît the same. Another point on which many agree with us is that the Horse Show maves toc slawly for spectator intemcst. We love herses, but even we get tircd ai the long wait wbilc a big clasa is lined up for final judg- ing. Whencver passible, we tbink this shculd be donc in the hitching ring, and get an with the next class, bringing the winners in later. Aftem alI, the public is pay- ing a vcry good price for seaua and shculd therefare be cater- ed ta ta a ccnsiderable extent especially when a large num- ber of even the higbest priced seats are se uncomfortable as ta almost cause paralysis. Tbe display cf apples this .year was much more eye-catch- ing than in fermer years. A comercial display cempetitiori ,vas partly responsible. and the results were gced. We weuld like te sec this developcd fur- ther. Apples are a vcmy beauti- fui fruit and ail sorts of tbings can be done in the way af de- signed displays. Apple growingc is an important industry in Ontarie and we think more emphasis an this section at the Faim is merited.
