NATIONAL CORN EXPCftITION, AT COLUMBUB, OHIO, AWARDS i TROPHY FOR PECK OF OATB GROWN IN SASKATCHEWAN. Again Canada is to the fore, and has secured at the National Corn Exposition just closed at Columbus, Ohio, the magnificent Colorado silver trophy valued at $1,600, for this best peck of oats. These oats were grown by Messrs. Hill ft Son, of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, and, as may readily be understood, were of splendid quality to have been so successful in a contest open to the world, and In whieh competition was keen. At the same Exposition there were exhibits of wheat and barley, and ‘in all these competitions, the grain shown by Canada secured a wonderful amount of attention, and also a number of awards. During recent exhibitions at which grain from Western Canada was given permission for entry, it always took first place. At the Spokane Interstate Fair, last fall, where the entries were very large, and the competition keen, the Province of Alberta carried off the silver cup, given by Governor Hay, for the best state or province display, and a score of prizes was awarded Canadian exhibitors for different exhibits of whejft, oats and barley threshed and In the sheaf. Vegetables also received high awards. A pleasing feature of these exhibits was they were mostly made by farmers who had at one time been American Citizens and were now farming in Canada. The Department of the Interior Is just in receipt of a magnificent diploma given by the Tri-State Board of Examiners at the Fair held in Cincinnati last fall for agricultural dinplay by Canada. The Surveyor-General of Canada has just completed a map showing that a large area of land was surveyed last year iu the northern portion of Saskatchewan and Alberta in order to be ready for the rush of homesteaders to that district during the coming spring and summer. It Is understood surveys covering several hundreds *of thousands of acres will be made in addition to tjiese during the coming summer.

A return just issued by the Dominion Lands Branch shows that 48,267 homestead entries were made last year as compared with 37,061 in 1909; of this 48,257, 14,704 were made by Americans. North Dakota coming first on the list with 4,810, Minnesota gives 2,528, South Dakota 1,133, Wisconsin 745, Washington 730, Michigan 706, lowa 645, while other Btates show less, but with the exception of Delaware* District of Columbia and the Indian Territory, every state and territory contributed. The prospects for an abundant crop In all parts of Western Canada for 1911 are said to be excellent In the districts that required it there was an ample rainfall last autumn, and the snowfall during the present winter is greater than In many previous years. Both are essential factors to the farmers, who look, upon the moisture that these will produce as being highly beneficial. A large immigration from the United States is expected, and the demand for literature and information from the various Government Agencies located at different points in the States is the greatest it has ever been. Since the above was written word has been received that in addition to honors won at Columbus, Ohio, Canada won first and second on wheat and first and second on oats, as well as diplomas. Norman Cherry of Davis, Saskatchewan, who was in the reserve for first on wheat, secured the award, with G. H. Hutton of Laeombe, Alberta, second. J. C. Hill ft Sons got first on oats besides the silver trophy. G. H. Hutton took second in oats.
