(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The honor of holding the first Agricultural Fair in Canada falls to Windsor, N.S., in 1765, about 159 years ago, and soon other Agricul- tural Societies fell into line in Nova Scotia, including one at Halifax in 1789 and another in King's County. This latter is the only one of the old societies in the Maritime Provinces that has survived the present day. The prizes offered at Windsor were in goods and medals. To the persons bringing the greatest number of cat- tle were awarded three yards of Eng- lish blue superfine broadcloth and a pilver medal. For horses, a saddle, bridle, whip, spurs and a medal were the rewards, and a churn for the best cow, while for the best twelve pounds of butter or cheese the prize was six yards of ribbon and a medal. The progress of organizing Agri- cultural Societies in 2 newly settled gountry was naturally slow at first; but it is worthy of mention that the first Province to introduce imported stock was New Brunswick, which brought over, in 1826, four Shorthorn bulls, which were recorded in the first volume of the English Herd Book. A provineial exhibition was held in Fredericton, N.B., in October, 1853. An Agricultural Society was orgaun- ized in Montreal in 1788 and another in Quebec in 17889. The First Society In Upper Canada. Settlement in Ontario commenced in 1783, and in 1791 had progressed sufficiently along the Niagara river and peninsula to justify the forma- tion of an Agricultural Society on October 28 of that year. This pioneer Ontario society had its head- quarters. at Niagara-on-the-Lake, then known at Newark. Governor Simcoe took a great interest In it and was its first president. The: firat efforts of its members were directed to the holding of monthly meetings to discuss agricultural questions, and an agricultural library was also es- tablished. The holding of an exhibi- tion naturally followed. Agricultural Societies gradually be- 'came organized all over Ontario, as settlement in the province progressed. In 1886, the Legislature passed regu- grants. Eight hundred dollars was apportioned to each District Society to enable it to hold an exhibition in addition to the work it had previously undertaken. An Agricultural Society for the County of York was organized in 1880. Seeds and implements were procured from the Old Country for members. A progressive member was sent -to -New York State who pur- 'chased four bulls for the use of the 'Society. Soon after am exhibition was held, and prizes were awarded for essays on agricultural subjects. Birth of the Provincial Fair. In 1845 a Provincial Association was formed, and in 1846 the first Provincial Fair was held in Toronto, out of which have grown the world- wide-known Canadian National Ex- hibition, the Western Fair and the Centr#l Canada Exhibition. The Provincial Association gradu- ally became better organized and developed into the Agriculture and Aris Association, which did so much for the improvement of agriculture in the province in the earlier days. Among the many useful lines of work inaugurated were the establishment of the Veterinary College, the regis- tering of pure bred stock, the award. ing of prizes for the best kept farms and buildings and well cultivated flelds, and, indirectly, the Agricul- tural College at Guelph. Creation of Department of Agricul. ture. Agriculture soon became such an {mportant feature in Ontario that a Commissioner of Agriculture was ap- pointed; and eventually the Provin- cial Government created a Depart- ment of Agriculture, thus recognizing this basic industry as of equal im- portance with those which came ua- der the supervision of the other de- partments of the Government. Thus out of that little society organized in 1781 in old Niagara-on-the-Lake, with a score or less of competitors and a modest prize list of a fow pounds, have developed not only the three great exhibitions in the pro- vince, but also the important Depart- ment of Agriculture with its numer- ous branches and with local represen- tatives in every county and district, bringing information and assistance to farmers desirous of making use of it. Later Extension of Work. The three hundred and sixty Agri- cultural Societies in the Province of Ontario have made rapid progress of late years. In 1907 a new departure was inaugurated, and a grant was made by the Ontario Government for the holding of Standing Field Crop Competitions, each society selecting the desired kind of grain or other erop grown for seed. With the exception of ten societies, which devote their energles wholly to the keeping and maintenance of pure-bred male animals for which they receive certain grants, all the gocietles hold fall fairs and exhibi- tions. Spring stock and seed shows are also conducted with great suc- agess.--J. Lockie Wilson, Supt. of Agricultural Association. : Before you can have real good hogs of any breed you must have a good hog mother and a good hog sire.

W. Barnes of Westminster, whose appointment recently to the Birmingham Bishopric has caused the high church element in the Church of England considerable misgiving, his pronouncements being sometimes re- garded by the more conservative clergy as unorthodox, declared at the conference today that the Church of England as a whole was rapidly ac- cepting this doctrine of evolution.
