CANADA DID WELL
Honors WorthiIy Won at lnterna-
ti0naI Live Stock Show.
Friendly Rivalry at Chicago Splendid.
ly Revealed the Possibilities Of
Our Northern Neiohbor.

Further evidence, IL any were needed.
Of the friendly relations between Can
ada and the United States might
have been found by visit to the In
ternational Live Stock Show recently
held at the Chicago Stock Yards.
There the Canadian and American
were to be found side by side in the
friendliest competition, the loser will
ingly admitting defeat when the other
fellow carried off the blue ribbon.
Some of the Choicest and best of
Canadian stock was there, and much
of 1t returned loaded down with rib
bOns denoting firsts, championships
that Indicate pedigree, breeding and
worth, and cups and trophies that
| were won in hard and severe contests.
The hay and grain clusses were
points of great interest, and here
Canada did well, securing many
| prizes.
Twenty-Five first prizes were listed
In the oats class; Canada carried
away % of them. A sample Of oats
from the Province of Alberta, weigh
ing As pounds to the bushel, was the
heaviest sample in the show. 1t was

w. Lucas, of Cayley, repeating what
he did last year.
In wheat there were - first prizes
to be awarded; Canada got 23 of
them.
The greatest interest was shown
when the horse classes were called.
Here also Canada stood well to the
front. The Percheron entries showed
that Canada breeders were popular
and successful exhibitors. Champion
ships were awarded to a number, and
| first prizes were common. The same
may be said of Clydesdnles. This
| breed stood out prominently, there
We're many entries. and this old-time
| popular breed had an unusual num-
ber of admirers. This was especially
so in "Wee Donalds" case. Here was
| Il Saskatchewa horse his owner TAX
| ing back to Canada the grand cham
/ pionship. Not only has he done it this
| year, but last year as well-two years
in Notwithstanding never before
done at the Live Stock show. In
| Clydesdales Canada won places in
every class in which entries We're
made.
The same story could be repeated in
sheep and hogs, honors being heaped
upon honors on Canadian entries.
Particularly important is the fact that
first prize for alfalfa seed was
awarded for seed grown at Brooks,
Alberta, in competition with 43 en-
tries. Alfalfa growing in Western
Canada has been increasing by leaps
and bounds, and this victory will give
it-and the dairy industry, which is
always linked with it-a further i'm
petus.
A visit to the Canadian government
exhibit of grains, grasses, vegetables,
fruits, minerals and other products
of the Dominion to the north, revealed
In tabloid form what the great coun-
try to the north could do. A great
interest was aroused in this exhibit,
and it was greatly admired by visitors
to the Live Stock show. Representa-
tives of the government We're on hand
for the purpose of giving information
to those desiring it.-Advertisement.
