Western Canada and the World’sFair.The Dominion Government has token time by l)u» forelock in the matter of securing suitable samples of grains in the stalk ami otherwise from the IJrnndon and Indian Head Experimental Farms, to be displayed at the World’s Fair at Chicago, in 1893. Suitable selections of fodder and grasses will doubtless also be made. This is not only right, from patriotic motives but desirable for Canada from a business standpoint.Surely where work is already systematically in progress for a display of Northwest Indian wigwams, tomahawks, leather jackets and other aboriginal relics, there is need for still greater activity and co-operation along other lines, in order that no unfair or one-sided representation be made of this essentially agricultural country, bv means of which in the past the reputation of Canada abroad has suffered no little injury.The World's Fair of 1S93 will probably attract such a gathering of foreigners as America 1ms not before entertained, and their numbers will include commissioners from European and other countries, whose special business it will be to examine and re-port back upon exhibits made, praoti-} eally those of countries in which there are large areas of desirable territory for settlement. In this view, a good all-round representation, as far ns practicable, setting forth the magnificent capabilities of this province, is most desirable, in order to make a proper and the best possible impression and promote I lie continued settlement aiul development of this immense and highly favored land. The people will doubtless look to the provincial authorities to do their share in matur-* ing ami carrying out effective men-*• s 11 res in this direction.—Farmer’s Ad-* vocal e.
