f. d. Meyer of st. James was in
the city making arrangements for

stration There is a bigger acreage
under cultivation this year Than ever
before, party due to the influx in
population, and largely due to the
government demands for more
grain Owing to this latter need the

farmers to cooperate along broader
lines. At the coming contest the
farmers will have the opportunity of

require about five hours time.

has consented to act as field judge of
the contest.
