For want. of time we were unable in see the place. but learn it is in a mood mixed farming district. It. like ether .Vcwa Scutian towns, has wide streets. beautiful homes. magnificent parks and is well provided with churches and educational institu- tions. including the Provincial Agri- cultural College and a Model Farm nt‘ 220 acres. Manufacturing is car- ried on extensively in woollen mills, a condensed milk factory. wood- working industries, hat. cap. cloth- ing and carriage factories. Lumber- ing, too. is carried on extensively. Situated at the head of Gobequid Bay a glance. at the map will give an idea of the excellence of its location as a distributing centre for its many and Varied productions. The natural park comprises a thousand acres and its diversity of scenery is in strik- ing contrast to the flat table land on which Truro stands.

The citizens are generally good pat- rons and will be sure to attend at some time during the period. We are not pretending to compare it with the Toronto Exhibition or any of the other big fairs. It is a small concern when compared with these, but Durham and the surrounding country is small when compared in population with the large cities and the territories they have to draw from. We mustn’t expect too much but it behooves us to make the most we can out of the material we have to work on. If every farmer in the adjacent townships and (:Vt'l‘y citizen in the town would contribute to the exhibits. we would have a big Fair for a small town and country.

This is a beautiful little city wcupying a position at the head of Globequid Bay and only a few mtiles from the boundary line between Nova Seutia and New Brunswick. 'l‘he Coho-quid Bay is an eastern arm at the Ray of Fundy and from Amr- herst in a northeasterly direction it is (only eleven miles across the neck ut‘ land to the Northumberland Strait which separates Prince Edward IS- Iand from tile mainland. It was at this point that an unsuccessful at- tempt was made many years ago to construct a mraine railway for the [turposze of conveying ships from the head waters of the Bay of Fundy to Northumberland Strait. Amherst is Of considerable interest. to Grey COUMY and Durham residents. for it was here that the famous mm.

It was raining quite brisk- ly as we. motored over the dyke- lands. but this did not prevent us from walking through a field and up a steep hill to take a look at the fort. A short distance from us was tlw site of Fort Lawrence, an English stronghold from which the attack was made when Beausejour was cap- tnrecl. Nothing of importance re- mains of Fort Lawrence and none of the party wont to see it. These forts were the first attractions in New Brunswick on our return trip. :1. 23.1.1.» :5: 3. 117.513 1.2: 2 .Ev. 32.4.2.4 ’12. :7. 32.2.. .1... ._. :. 55.. ’15 :21 :2... 2:2: :_ .z: 7. :34 :2: 2. 7.3.23.1. 2.3:.

A few miles farther on we came to Sackville, a town of four 01' five thousand inhabitants.

Mr. Roy Lawrence commenced his season’s threshing at his brother Farr’s on Friday last. Grain is reâ€" ported turning out fairly well, con- sidering the dry, hot spell it came through. There will not, however. be. the full bins of a year ago. With a light cum and taxes, implements and other necessaries from 40 to 50 per cent. higher than pre-war times it makes the pathway of the tiller of the soil somewhat thorny. Difl'er- ent reasons have been given for the agricultural depression but the real cause is over-production. A lot of farmers have already quit and until about 25 per cent. more quit. the Pe- maining farmers will not lavish in any great fortunes. Perhaps this is injuriously speaking of our indust- ry, but so long as we give. truthful farts we feel that we are only duti- fully. speaking.
