Now that the European strug^e for humanity and freedom has been victoriously won and the Canadian soldiers are returning to their homes, the scarcity of help on the farms which has been so keenly felt during the last few years will be relieved and the agricultural fairs of next and the following seasons will undoubtedly benefit accordingly. Fat Calf axd Baby Beef Competition. At Edmonton in April and at Calgary in December there were most interesting exhibits of calves of the various beef breeds shown by the boys and girls who had fed them. Large entries were made and many of the animals shown were of outstanding merit. At Edmonton last April there were no fewer than sixty-nine entries and sixty-one calves actually appeared in the contest. Fifteen prizes were awarded, ranging from the first prize of one hundred and ten dollars down to twenty-five dollars. There were also a good many special prizes of considerable value, donated by private individuals. The same classes at Calgary in December were equally successful and although the influenza was raging badly at that time public interest was manifested in exactly the same manner. The Calf Competition will now become an annual and very important feature of the programme at both Calgary and Edmonton Shows. It is one of the most beneficial, as well as the most interesting, classes ever added to the jirizc lists and is an important phase of a general tendency in favor of making the educational value of fairs relate to people at a susceptible age. Poultry Shows. ^'ery successful exhibitions of poultry were held during November, December, and January at Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine Hat, Leth- bridge, Wci,i>ki\\ in and Ogden. The judges who officiated at those shows. • STKi:i; AT i:i >.M(-iX'l-(>X SI'lllXc; .
