In 1915 he sent his first exhibit to Edmonton and won second place for oats, but it was not until 1920, that he began to tackle the world show at Chicago, when with his first attempt he took 15th place for oats. In 1924, he took 17th place with Marquis wheat and he has shown every year since 1920, with the ex- ception of one year when his crop was hailed out. Besides the exhibits he has been send’ng to Chicago, he has been found among the list of successful exhibit- ors at Canadian fairs for years, and has been gradually climbing up to one of the most consistent growers in the province. Some years ago Mr, Smith began to lose faith in Marquis wheat, and in sp'te of opposition he pinned his faith to the new Reward wheat, which he claimed would eventually bring the championship to him. He has stuck fast to this faith, tended his plots with painstaking care, and th’s year his labors were rewarded with such a fine sample that for the first time he felt satisfied to send it to Chicago, declaring as he did so, that the wheat that would beat it had not been grown. Western Canada Dairy Convention Big Event To Be Held In Winnipeg Barly In February @ packing plant will be located here in the near future,” W. D. Blackwell, Union stockyards here, stated. He foresees a rapid growth of interest in livestock in the Saskatoon area. More than half of the animals sold through the yards come in by trucks. “There is a growing moveemnt to- wards mixed faming in the area around Saskatoon,” Mr. Blackwell Dry Bread Best’ For Health Tastes More Appetizing Than When Fresh and Soft | Dr. Saunders, who dé¥eloped Mar- quis wheat and who from a single | grain, planted in 1903, had the satis- faction of knowing that in a few years hundreds of millions of bushels of the finest wheat in the world were grown from it, deplores the improper use of it and of inferior grades as well. The housewife who purchases fresh bread and {mmediately puts it on the table for family consumption, would be better advised, he says, to keep it until it becomes dry. We might not go so far as to say with jhim, that the average person does not | know how to eat bread so as to get |the best results both from its taste |and its quality. There may be many before them, and who have no choice in the matter, But we do believe that dry bread not only tastes more appe- tizing, but is better for the general health. Let any who doubt it give dry bread a fair trial, if they can. Those who spend a considerable por- tion of their lives in hotels, restaur- ants, clubs and boarding-houses know how difficult it is to obtain dry bread. ‘The ends of fresh bread, which make excellent chewing, are frequently thrown away at these places) unless the customers who know how good these bits are, ask to have them laid aside. The ftesh, soft stuff which is served and which is washed down with some form of liquid rapidly ruins said, ‘and a great in the type of livestock kept. Nearby farm- ers are also finding that they can feed animals to advantage. During the past eleven months 907 cattle, 92 calves, 5,963 hogs and 300 sheep went out to feeders. In addition to the local sales amounting to an equivalent of 1,063 carloads of livestock during the past 11 months, there have been 1,036 car- loads fed and watered at the yards, while passing through Saskatoon on through-billing. In the opinion of Mr. Blackwell many of these would be consigned here if a packing plant were located at this point. Teaching Children Truth About War The Only Way To Combat Misrepre- sentation, Says Major Drew The lesson of Empire co-operation during the war should be the guiding star of Empire today, said Major George A. Drew, master of the su- preme court of Ontario and author of The big annual Western Canada @rticles on Canada's war effort, in Dairy Convention event having again completed the circuit of western Canadian provinces, returns to Mani- toba for 1930.
