A wonderful array of vegetables and
flowers was the outstanding feature
of Sumas district's second exhibition,
held at Whatcom road corner on
Thursday last, Mrs. York’s hall, in
which they were shown, being filled
to every corner in an effort to ade-
quately show everything. In_ these
exhibits, it was estimated that almost
twice as much produce was on display
as at the first fair.

H. J, Barber, M.P. offi jally opened
the day, giving a thoughtful talk upon
the value of small rural fairs, the
social place they fill in the lives of
agriculturalists, and the publicity ob-
tained for the district in the showing
of excellent products and stock. He
had opened several fairs in the Val-
ley, and could say that Sumas was not
surpassed in quality anywhere that
he had been. Vancouver's interest in
