There was a drop in at- tendance 01' 128,000 compared with last year’s I'CCOI'd. Adverse causes are very definite. There was the war, the weather and the railway companies, and the greatest of these was the railway companies. Whereas formerly tho. raileiy Companies started, a “single fare” trip from outlying parts te Toronto some time preVious to thi Exhibition, and kept it going ali throUgh the Fair and for some timi after, this year these impoverished corporations felt compelled to in crease that special fare by thirty three and one-third per cent. The short two’cent a mile return trip excursion tickets were increased to three cents a mile. EFFECT OF HIGH RATES ‘ It has proved a losing propositwn ,for the railway companies, although ‘it has at the same time marred the ibrilliant success that this year’s Ex- hibition otherwise would have been. mast year there was not a day of the [twelve that the three systems did {not bring into Toronto on an aver- iage, 80,000 people, two-thirds of whom Were additions to ordinary everyday tramc. attracted by the Exhibition and the cheaper travell- ing rates. This year there was the ordinary traffic and nothing more Thirty thousand a day has been thi lh'ighest influx, on any one day. It would appear, therefore, that the railway companies, in vulgar par lance, had bitten of! their nose ta Ispite their face. Concrete instances of how . the higher rates effect‘iVely stopped the influx from the country are numer- ous, but one will suffice. A C. P.

This year he didn’t, sell 20 tickets -â€" and the increased raiIWay fare was the sole cause. The managemeut rightly place the bulk of the blame for the decreased attendance on the shoulders of the railways. The bad weather was undoubtedly a. severe drawback to the Fair. Al- though rain fell on almost as many days last year as this, the effect was not nearly so pronounced. The wet days were spread out over the whole fortnight in 1913, but this year rains fell on each of the first four days, and to make matters worse the weather that followed was un- qeasonably cold. war. The flour mills of Canada will he kept busy grinding Canadian \‘heabl into'Canadian flour for export to the Mother Country at this time of trial. In the home market also there will be an increased demand for flour. The tendency of many will be to use more bread and other staple articles of food in'Stead of Some of the lux- uries of the table. This will mean an increased consumption of flour. Thus it would appear that the 7000 men who are working in the flour mills of Canada ase assured of con- tinued employment throughout the war. It is possible the number of employees .in flour mills will have to be increased but even if an increase ehould be necessary the continued operation of this industry will mean the l circulation of" approximately four million dollars a year in wages to Canadian workmen.- ~ Where the Exhibition treasurer's accounts will show the greatest fall- inz of? will be in the grandstand rc- ceipts. Last year the sixteen thous- and Capacity enclosure was crowded every night, and on special ocul- sions it was literally packed. This year there is a different story to tell. Possibly the cold weather, of which there has not been a letâ€"up during the whole fortnight, is the Cause of the falling off here more than anything else.â€"â€"Telegram.

The moisture re- quired by one stalk, when divided among four stalks, leaves them wiltâ€" ed to death. Corn does not require ihilling, that cuts the roots of the corn, which run out sideways, not down. Corn should be planted with pimple room both ways for keeping a .cultivator running scratching over the surface, and breaking the emoâ€" oration of moisture that Comes to the surface. Mr. Bean had with him a photograph of his field at home, showing corn that stood 13 feet ‘high on the 70th day from day of planting. At the present time the field of corn is fourteen feet high, and it is necessary to stand afourâ€" teen foot pole beside one to realize the height. When it Was eleven feet high he was still keeping the culti- vator going, for the weather was dry and he needed to preserve for the corn's growth all the monsture the groand contained. Mr. Bean reCom- mends all growers of corn to visit the fields of Mr. Seymour and Mr. Boyd and ask questions as to their methods of planting and cultiVating.
