CANADA AT THE PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATON AL EX POSITION, SAN FRANCISCO, P T.ANS for the Canaaditm buillding at tie 1'rr:,la;-Pacoitic Int,,-n: tional Exposition Lt San Franieeec in 1915 have beeni approved, and the work on the great structure has started. The Canadian Palace. as it is othibilly named, will be4 one of the largest and most imposing of the forliga buildings, having a length of 840 feet, a width of 210 feet and a height of 50 feet, and will cost in the neighborhood of $300OP,0. It, will le the largest building ever erected by Canada at an international exposition. covering ti .0Ax) square feet, and will house one of the most elaborate .and comprehen sIve exhibits of the Dominion's resources and products ever shown on foreign soil. Six hundred thousand dollars has already been voted by the Canadian parliament for the building and exhibiti, but a further grant, bringing the appropriation up to $1,000,0%0. will le recommended by the government. Canada at the Panamna-Pacific Exposition is foui elnig the same 1511y that has obtained at former exlxsitions-- namnely, the display of sp{'eitiens or exhibits of the natural products of the country- -agilcul turanl, horticultural, mineral. forest and tisheries-for the purljesn of vhowintz her climatic advantages and her riieeurcee to the great number of ls)ple who will visit the Exposition. Attenti ii will he devoted to transportation facilities, an! the railways wil: he o sitnl considerable space in the building. Practically the entire aehilit oi Canada at the recent Ghent exposition and it was cio t by ail judges a most magnificent display-is en rcite here new, while mnto i' new and attrae Uve exhibits are being prepa red in thti varlous pr: in;es. The exhibit will he under tlb supvtstiion :I lnemi WIliuimi Ihutch ison, who will represent the Dominion gnovernmite This Year's Enormous Wheat Crop. In hte current issue of Farm and Fireside appears an editorial about this year's wheat crop, an extract from which follows: The nation rejoices in the big I wheat crop. Nine hundred million bushels is a wonderful yield, and it will do the world good. It will do the farmers much good too. It will tend to make living easier for the people in the cities. It will give us what amounts to almost an assur ance against financial troubles. Its value is not like an increase in the value of stocks or lands, for it is taken from nobody, and it is wealth actually created. it lays no new burden on any tman in rents or divi dends. It is toil5 soil, rain and sun shine transformed into life." Attractive stationery is the only uind we print. Give us your orders.

It acts on. the liver better than Calomel and does not gripe or sicken. 25c Condition of Cotton Crop. In its issue of Au-. 24 the Times Picayune pr.senoed rhe r( port of its correspondents on the history of the cotton crop during the last thirty days. Thee consensus of opinion is to the following effect: 1. Taking the belt as a whole, a distinct improvement has occurred, timely rains in most sections having helped the plant over a critical pe riod. 2. From some districts come comn plaints of the weevil and the army worm, but it is too soon to form an approximate idea of the damage. 3. The supply of labor is ample and no trouble would be anticipated on this score, except for the decline in price caused by the war. 4. Farmers are greatly disturbed by the prospective difficulty in mar keting the crop, but there is a gen eral disposition to hold as much as possible. 5. Despite the improvement, the crop is still an exceedingly spotted one, and later developments may radi cally change the result. Remember that money sent away for goods you should buy at home never returns, and goes toward en riching another city instead of your own. The Season of Fairs. ;.n very lar e number of parishes of Louisiana and Mississippi are ar ranging for fairs to be held in Sep tember, October and November of the present year. It is believed by many progressive farmers that no better way cal be found to encourage the gowing of better crops. Besides the large state fair at Shreveport to be held during the lati- ri art of October, there will be fairs at Donaldsouville, Baton Rouge sodl IHammond, in which a number of paizhes; will join the one effort. The fair at Donaldsonville w ll include the parishes of Assumption, Ascension, Ibervil, St. John, St. James, St. .iharles and Jefferson, and probably Lafourche, Pointe Coupee and West Baton Rouge. Over $4000 will be given in prizes l at this fair, and the large territory included in the organization augurs for a large attendance. The big state fair at Shreveport has been known as the leading event of its class in Louisiana for some years, and will be bigger than ever this year. The Florida parishes have a com bined fair, and the big state fair at Jackson, Miss., is attracting attention in four states. As the farming inter ests become more important, the ag ricultural fairs in each community in crease in importance, in this way be ing actually barometers of the devel opment in those sections.-Southern Farmer.
