Le ) Uxbraiee Oct. 6--Ten fortunate young farmers from this county will snend three days in Toronto at the Royal: Agricultural Winter Fair this coming November as the guests of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. According to the Government's plan, which has just been announced in its "final form, the boys will be provided free of charge, with railway fare from the home station to Toronto and re- turn with sleeper; and meals on the train for those from a distance oi ] miles or. more, and any further transportation involved in the tour of the stock yards, 'abattoirs, factories and other commercial - concerns and ic institutions which has been planned as part of the program during their visit to ithe Fair. They will also be free of any expense tor ing accommodation for four nights, or for their meals while in Toronto. It is the sort of thing that mest boys | dream about and seldom realize, and ih this case the Department of Agricul- ture is playing the part of the fairy godmother. It is felt that a visit to the Royal Winter Fair, which has in its show ring the finest livestock, poultry and horses that the stables and herds of nine Provinces and many States can offer, will be an education in progres- sive agriculture. The boys will be able to see for themselves what the master breeders of the country have accom- plished with their animals and they will have new ideals of live stock per- fection to take away with them. They will also be able to make cumparisons between fruit, grains and dairy pro- ducts from different parts of the Bo- mmion. Normal couniry boys have a keen interest in 'all live things, and the foxes, rabbits, pet stock and dogs exhibits will show them the commer- cial possibilities of these specialties on Canadian farms. They will also have the thrill of seeing the finest amateur horsemen and women on the continent taking the jumps in the Royal Horse Show under the eyes of Lord Willing- don, the Governor-General, and many other' visitors prominent in Canadi public life. ine poys are to be selected by means of special "Royal" junior farm- er judging competitions to be held dur- ing October. Conditions governing these competitions (high mark boys to be selected) are as follows: Contestants 'shall judge five rings of live stock and five classes of crop pro- ducts, such a grain, small seeds, po- Latoes, roots, fruit and vegetables. Spe- cial crops may be inciuded where pro- duction is general over the county. The competition shall be open to all farmers and farmers' sons living on !

These figures show a de- crease from August when 7,010 ac- cidents, including 53 fatalities, were reported, 'but in September,' 1927, there were more accidents reported than in the same month of 1926, the increase being 372. Up to the end of September, the Workmen's Compensation Board awarded in 1927 a total of $4,5626,- 629.52, an average of about $500,- 000. for each month. The Kotgl number of accidents reported in the Irst nine months of the year was 53,468, including 305 fatalities. Commenting on these figures, R. B. Morley, General Manager, Indus- trial Avcident Prevention Assocla- tions, states that there were includ- ed many traffic accidents, some of these fatalities and others of lesser severity. These accidents on the highway included salesmen, drivers for bakeries and dairies and truck drivers. It is hoped that the pres- ent campaign against highway ac- cidents will have a material effect on accidents of this type. Mr. Morley leaves in a fortnight 'for Geneva'as a member of the Com- mittee of Safety Experts which will prenare the report for presentation at the meeting of the International Labous Office there next May. This ' recoenition of the importance of ac- cident prevention work through the League of Nations is evidence of a world-wide movement to cope with the losses due to preventable acci- Aents. Mr. Morley is the only mem- ber of this committee going from Canada or the United States. SERIAL AT NEW MARTIN TODAY .
