Dear Editor:â€" I have been highly entertained and a trifle amused by the lively discuss- ion about the milk question. What began the row anyway? Was there any kind of sickness in town which could be traced to the milk supply or was it just be cause there wasn’t an election on hand to fight about? As we keep a cow of our own we are not directly interested in the controversy, but I will say that when we have oc- casionally bought milk from the Rich- mond Hill dairy we found it quite as good as that from any Toronto dairy.

ARMAND LAVERGNE of Quebec, Conservative member of Parliament, who has been chosen to sit on the committee which meets at Ottawa about the third week in February to thresh out the leadership of the Conservative party. in re-conditioning Ontario ilnteresting Address Given By W. H. Legge, Richmond Hill. at the Annual Convention of 1he Ontario Fair THE BENEFIT OF A SMALL FARR W A COMMUNITY I feel quite sure there are many delegates present in this very rep- resentative gathering who could speak on this important subject in a more convincing manm-r than I am able to do, but when our genial Superinten- dent, who always has the interest of our Association at heart, asked me to speak to you, I full: probably that the little knowledge I had gained from past exfierience might be of some val- ue and so I consented, The greatest problem in the minds of our outstandingvpublic men and leading agriculturists to-day, is to ad- vocate some method that will be more attractive to our young people of the present age and encourage them to remain on the farmâ€"because after all Agriculture is our foremost indusâ€" try. At our last Convention a year ago, Ij I listened with a great deal cf inter- ] est to the discussion as to whether“ or not the rural fair was an asset to the community and should be support- 1 ed and maintained and I would like ; to say that I firmly believe, that in the rural fair we have one of the greatest sources of promoting agri- cultural competition and efficiency, because rural fairs are the stepping stones to the larger ones. For ex- ample, take our own County of York, where we hold ten or eleven fairsâ€"- to eliminate all but one would de- prive many of our young men and boys from competing and taking the keen interest in the improvement of stock that is being manifested to-day. taking a concrete exampleâ€"a farmer near Richmond Hill has what he be- lieves a particularly good animal.‘ When Richmond Hill holds its rural‘ fair the same farmer takes his exhib- it (it costs him little as it is only one or two miles from home). He meets his competitors, he probably carries off first prize. He goes back home pleased with the honor and satisfied that his judgement of the animal’s qualities had been confirmed. When , the Toronto Exhibition comes in the Fall, he thinks he might as well take a chance in showing his animal, since it has proved its worth at the home fair, and thus with many similar cas- es the big fair grows because of the encouragement at the smaller one. Another point of view in favor of the Rural Fair is the fact that it has encouraged seed fairs and Field Com- petitions which have become very popular in many parts of the Prov- ince. Last year we got into com- munication with the Superintendent of the Department and secured sev- eral good men to judge our seed and lecture on the best methods of grow- ing good grain and the most profit- able fodder to grow, such as sweet Clover, Alsike and Alfalfa. As a re- sult our 1926 meeting was a decided success with the largest Hall in the town packed with farmers, who had driven for miles eager, to hear these men speak on the “best improved methods to produce crops. Again there is considerable divers- ity of opinion as to the advisability of of amalgamating the two fairs, viz, the Agricultural and the school fair. I find that the majority of farmers while favoring the School Fair com- plain of losing too much time in the busiest season of the year, in having to attend to both. Why not combine them and get away from that objec- tion? For instance, what would beI more conductive to attract adults to the Fall Fair than the fact of the children being exhibitors. Why notl give some inducement to the school boards to join us? Say, free admis- sion or reduced rates to the Scholars. I believe withalittle time and thought this scheme could be worked out with the greatest benefit to all concerned. Furthermore, I understand that our Minister of Agriculture, Hon. Jno. S. Martin, is in favor of the scheme and has already adopted that method ‘ in his own County of Norfolk. In every way I respect and have the highest regard for the man who invests his capital to employ labor and promote other industries. But let us remember that no factory wheel has ever yet turned that can supply you and me with the luxur- RICHMOND HILL, ONT., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10,1927 Association. ies which spring from the bosom of the earth. I believe that the day is not far distant when our Universi- ties will be conferring degrees, not only on the students of Medicine and ‘Arts, but also on soil and farm mach- inery experts and many others who will make farm production greater and farm life more desirable. Of what use would our Universities be if it were not for the kindergarten, pub- lic and High schoolsâ€"they would soon llanguish and die, were it not for the continuous inflow from the farm, vil- lage counter and blacksmith’s forge. :Agriculture is the basic industry of this province and it largely depends on the members of this Association to keep it so. Is there any other way, method or means whereby we can better accomplish that, than through ‘the small fair? At a recent conven- ltion a speaker announced that the lfairs of this province were bankrupt. In the words of a famous farmer, l“I deny the allegation and defy the allegator.” If we are on the way to bankruptcy there’s a long, long trail a-winding that We have followed for 150 years and we are still successful- ly doing business at the Old Fair .Grounds. I appeal to you collectively and in- dividually to nourish and protect your small Township Fairs, because they are the surest foundations and best ipropagators for better farming and also for our Canadian National Ex- hibition and Royal Show for which Ontario is famous.
