The question has also been raised as to whether or not the shows are stimulating interest in ag- riculture, the purpose for which they are intended, or whether the fairs as they are found to-day are only for the benefit or side-show men and race horse owners. Editorially, The Canadian Farmer comments as follows: “The 1923- fair season is over and a survey of the situation reveals the usual number of events which were hampered by bad weather and poor local conditions. Undoubtedly a number will sufl‘er financially, some Provincial Grant Often a Waste of Money.â€"Careful Survey of Situa- tion Recommended. may even be forced to cease opera.- tions until times get better. Consid- ering the fact that a marked depres- sion has throttled business and agri- culure, it is remarkable that so many fairs have been able to carry on successfully. The local fair plays an important part in the life and improvement of the community, but when one glances over the total lTSt, it seesm that we are possibly too well served by such institutions. Unless a fair is self-SUpporting it is doubtful whether its value to the community warrants another year’s operation; a huge grant of money is set aside each year to assist fairs and exhibitions by the Department of Agriculture, this money comes out of the public purse and the dis- tribution should be carefully seru- tinized so that it is placed where it will do the most amount of good. “Practical usefulness is the only excuse for the existence of any fair and if any institution has lost its grip on the public interest of the community, resulting in poorly Jih- ed classes of agricultural products or animals of mediocre quality it ceases to be an inspiration to the visitors passing tl‘irough the turn- stiles. In many ways such an exhi- bition is worse than useless and should be promptly discontinued. Many fairs are just the same to-day as they were twenty years ago; they haVe failed to keep in touch with changing conditions and-have des- cended into nothing~ more than com- mon visiting grounds. which serve no purpose in aiding and advancing agriculture. Before another season starts a careful survey 0" the Situa- tion should be made and only fairs which are able to stand on their own feet should receive the support of the ratepayers‘ money.
