Canada at Land Show Chicago showcases western Canada farming bounty
Hon Dr. Roche directed a prominent display at the United States Land Show in Chicago to illustrate western Canada’s farm potential. Exhibits featured wheat up to 68 pounds per bushel, oats 48 pounds, barley 55 pounds, alfalfa and clover, with claims of 28–35 bushels per acre for wheat and 65–105 for oats. Canadian dairy products and bread distribution impressed attendees, while prize-winning wheat and potatoes highlighted international contests. A champion fat steer, Glencarnock Victor, from Brandon Manitoba, defeated U S rivals at the Live Stock Show in Chicago. British Columbia’s apples and other produce drew attention, with notable reception for Mr. McGregor’s team and a large Canadian audience.
