an alteration in the basis of grant distribution next session of the Legislature From the investigation made by Mr H B Cowan superintendent ag ricultural societies it seems that as a general rule associations paying out the largest sums for special at tractions are giving the least for ag ricultural purposes An examina tion returns to the Department demonstrates that in several counties in the Province there are so many exhibitions that they conflict with eachother seriously Fewer but better exhibitions would be a great improvement and more ad vantageous as an educative force to the farming community In analyzing yearly reports from and Township Agricultural Societies Mr Cowan in an article published elsewhere in todays Era gives reasons for pro posed changes Seeing that a Dis trict Society is only entitled to as a yearly grant under the Agri culture and Arts Act we arc at a loss to understand how a society received as sets forth Possibly there may have been a union of district and township societies but so Hie fact should have been so stated Again wouldbe interesting to know if the disproportion between grants and rnoncys paid lor agricultural pur poses were sufficiently numerous to call for the changes or If the instances given were cases If the discrepancies were mere isolated cases weather condi tions and other untoward stances may supply a reason but if sufficiently numerous to create a suspicion then by all means Jet the basis of grants be changed and so change- to fix a minimum sum proportion to grant to be devote especially to agricultural purposes This would cover the and remove suspicion Of late years no doubt the tendency has been to wards special attractions and speed ing fa ring or to Ik more plain horse racing but such exhibitions as that held in the town of purely agricultural horticultural dairy domestic manufactures and fine arts are really the most desirable as an educative force In rural districts Mrs Jackson gave a Flinch
