Western Canada and the World’s Fair.The Dominion Government has taken time by Ihe forelock in the matter of securing suitable samples of grains in the stalk and otherwise from the IJrnmhm and Indian Head Experimental Farms, to be displayed at the World’s Fair at Chicago, in 1S93. Suitable selections of fodder and grasses will doubtless also be made. This is not only right, from patriotic motives hut 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 he made of this essentially agricultural country, by means of winch 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 has not before entertained, and their numbers will include commissioners from European and other countries, whose special business it will be to examine and report back upon exhibits made, practically 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 the continued settlement and development of this immense and highly favored land. The people will doubtless look to the provincial authorilies to do their share in maturing anil carrying out effective measures in this direction.—Farmer’s Ad-vocal e.The Bali on Friday Night.
