In addition to visiting the great Chicago Show the visitors were direc- ‘ted in a merry whirl of sightseeing, banqueting and entertainment. They were transported from place to place in special cars and special trains and nothing seemed too good for the dele- gation of young men and women. An enjoyable feature was a trip through Swift’s gigantic plant after which a special luncheon was tendered the visitors by this firm. Very interest- ing also was the visit to the huge ‘plant of the Corn Products Refining Co. at Argo, where a luncheon was tendered the visitors. This plant at Argo in the midst of the corn belt is bf tremendous capacity. The great ‘boilers consume 1000 tons of coal per day; twenty million bushels of corn are ground in a year; from fifty to sixty cars of corn are unloaded at the plant every day. The delegates also visited the plant of the International Harvester Co. where they were also royally entertained and given a trip through the factory and shown the var- ious processes of manufacture. Many other places of interest were visited and in all a very profitable and enjoy- able week spent by the delegates from Ontario who were able to meet with delegates from every state in the Uni- on at the big show, who were enjoy. ing the same trip. Thirtyâ€"three young men and women from Canada attended the Internation- al Live Stock Show at Chicago as guests of the Ontario Department of Agriculture . The representatives chosen from each County for this trip were the champions in contests con- ducted by the Department and the party included eighteen young men and fifteen young women. Mr. Clarâ€" ence Graham represented York Coun- ty and interviewed by The Liberal on his return reports a most enjoyable and educative trip. He was loud in his praise of the manner in which all arrangements for the trip were carried out and of the generous hospitality ex- tended to the party in Chicago.
