And you won't have to wait long either. The drawing will be held May 30th, which will mean a whirlwind campaign over the whole district. So, besides doing something for the hospital-- which has proved itself so useful and necessary for the community--you will have opportunity to get the good of the car all summer. This gets over the problem of raig- ing the wind to buy yourself a car, and means a chance that doesn't come often in this ungracious world. Better secure your ticket early, before the strictly limited number is sold out.

The Rennie Seed Co. of Toronto offer three prizes for exhibits grown from Rennie's Seeds, exhibited at the Fair. $5.00 in seeds, for best display of Vegetables, $3.00 in seeds, for best display of Field Roots. $$2.00 in seeds, for best display of Flowers. : Competitors can enter for any one or all three classes. Judges will be those appointed by the Fair committee. En- tries to be made to the secretary, Some criticism is being heard that individual farmers and their various organizations have not been giving special prizes for competition. at the Fair. This point has been overlooked, but now that these societies are be- coming strong, it would be well if they would at once advise the secretary and donate such prizes. This action would greatly simplify the work of the spe- cial committee'who compile thelist of prizes contributed by the townspeople. A big effort/is being made to over- come the faults that have created a hostile feeling among the farming community, and caused indifference to the success of the Fair. Now is the time for all to respond to that effort by dropping outworn complaints and co-operate to share in the success of the 1924 Exhibition. 7 Farm Outlook Promising In Kenora district a considerable increase is expected, says the Toronto "Globe" under the above heading. A creamery is to be started in Dryden this summer, writes M. F. Cook. It is looked upon as thé salvation of the district, as it will give an outlet for dairy products, and be an incentive to mixed farming rather than dependence on one or two crops for all farin reve- nue. Situated as we are, -- a long distance from a market of any size-- with high freight rates, yet whire we can grow the necessary feed fof dairy cattle as cheaply as anywhere 3 the province, dairy farming shoul®@rove a profitable line to follow. As soon as an outlet is assured the cow popu- lation will double within a year. Even where there are at present few dairy cattle, northern farmers are re- | cognising that prosperity follows the COW.
